Hello,
I'm considering the following utility irons Probably a 3 or 4 iron. I used to have a 21 degree 4 iron from a game improvement set, and was money off the tee with it. Wanting to add something that fits that bill again. Need some opinions and/or insight.
Srixon Z U65
Srixon Z U85
Mizuno MP-18 MMC
Few points I'm getting tripped up on:
1) Never had a graphic shaft on an iron (Srixon's are graphite, Mizuno is steel). Thoughts?
2) What's the real difference between the U65 and U85? Is one more of a players iron than the other? Not sure which would be better for a mid-handicapper like me.
3) Never hit any Mizuno club, so no real familiarity with the brand as a whole other than reputation.
4) Ideally I'd like something around 21 degree loft. The Srixon's offer the 3 iron at 20 degrees, and Mizuno offers the 4 iron at 22 degrees.
If I had to pick pick a top priority, it'd be forgiveness. I dont typically have drastic mishits or anything, but dont want to be punished if I hit one off-center every now and then. Figured both are about equal in terms of distance.
Anybody ever tried any of these? Any opinions?
Thanks in advance!
