Have you ever seen a new golf club that looks so good as to do whatever you can and ignore the best judgment just to put it in your bag?

Yes, so we reach an article like this.

I have been one Mizuno irons Since my dad cut a set of MP-52 and placed some lead tapes in the cavity to swing them properly-or at least better. Since then, I have had a series of MP-64, which unfortunately are not currently in my possession, a group of MP-18 mmc, a combined group of JPX 923 Forged and Tourand then last year, I played a combination of Mizuno Pro 245, 243 and 241 handcuffs.

Given my role as a writer of equipment, I have hit a bunch of different OEM shackles. I’m sure a year, I will use another set in competition, but for now I’m still gravitating in what I know.

This year, when the company announced its new shackles of Mizuno Pro S-3, I knew these were clubs I had to add to my bag.

The S-3 Irons are the first in a new series of signature in Mizuno Within the line of fabrications of Fabled Mizuno Pro, as Chris Voshall told me Mizuno at the time of their release. They are an iron forged with a piece of 1025e Select Select Salact Steel with the process of falsifying the company’s wheat flow for a very calm feeling. They were also one of the first to display a single triple -cut new, which adds bounce to the main end to help interact the ground.

Then I saw Mizuno’s staff Ben Griffin at WM Phoenix Open say S-3S were the best handcuffs the company had ever made, strong praise for a company that has a preserved history of counterfeit handcuffs.

But when a PGA Tour player (and eventual winner) tells you how much a group of shackles with a shallow cavity loves than a kiddie pool and you are a 2-day that strikes 4 greens in a round every time so often, this is probably a sign that you should not play the same clubs.

However, recognizing the S-3, with lofts weaker than the 243rd that included most of my group, would give me an extra height I was looking for, I replaced short and middle of the 6i-9i s-3 uterus. I still kept 243 in 5-Iron and 245 in 4-iron as the S-3 5-iron was just very difficult for me to get the ball speed.

This was in late February, so my swing was not sharp or in the shape of the middle season. So I mistakenly rejected any wrongdoing like just being out of practice and didn’t think much about it.

It was a shot in a match where I hit the 6th and hit the ball in the toe so badly that the ball ended 30 jars short and right of Pin.

After two months and some competitive rounds, it was time for a reality control.

Pro 243 vs Pro S-3

What are the differences between these two handcuffs anyway? Both are cuffs of misery, both are forged with the process of falsifying the company’s wheat flow, both have a similar compensation and blade length, and both are created to feel very soft and calm in influence thanks a layer of copper. But this is the kind where the similarities end.

Pro 243s are what I like to call a velocity cavity, which is somewhere in the middle of a player and iron return iron in the distance of a player. Starting with the 7-and 243, they have a microslot construction and two pieces to make the face faster. Those handcuffs are also forged by 4120 chromol, which is faster than 1025 carbon. Compared to the S-3, the toplina is actually a little thinner to give the impression of a more compact iron, while the only one is slightly wider to make it more forgiving.

The 243s also have the strongest Lofts, which is part of the reason I wanted to go, as I felt I needed more peak heights and the S-3 were about 2 degrees weaker.

With Pro S-3, many of that technology is left out for players who want accurate note instruments. This is for the player who will feel even smaller and wants to fly with their 7 iron exactly 175, not 177 and not 173. They can show that delicate of a deception. Voshall told me that the signature line had begun because reactions from the tournament staff were that they did not need new handcuffs every two years, because technology in a tours iron does not change often. Therefore, the signature line will have a four -year product cycle.

All the good shootings I would hit with S-3 were as good as those I would hit with the 243rd. In the course, I never noticed that I would hit a stroke and I wouldn’t go as much as I needed it.

The bad, this is another story.

TESTING

I went head-to-head with both 7-irons in the set inside using a trackman

Both clubs were a standard of Mizuno. This test was also done with a pro -v1 golf balls titerist, which is the ball I play after hitting the ball quite high and didn’t need a rotating tone.

I got five shakes with each club and as it happened, I misused one of each.

At first glance, it actually seems to create higher ball speeds and roll with S-3, though it goes shorter, and distribution, while focusing better, is not as close as 243. I like to draw the ball, so seeing that I had a easier time turning over 243 is not a bad thing.

You can also see that the mistreatment by 243, while it was 3 MPH slower than the S-3 fraud, still flew four meters away. This may be the difference between covering a bunker or inserting on an edge.

However, the data is really clear when we remove those mistreatment with each club and focus on average with only my good oscillations.

Now we see that the distribution is dramatically tightened by 243, while the S-3 is still quite wide. Moreover, the consistency of my ball speed and keep the numbers fall down in almost negligible numbers.

On average, the ball flies almost three meters away and stops only half a yard longer. Since I hit the ball so high, I don’t really need a rotating tone, so 6500 is a great number for me. Another reason why pro v1 works so well for me.

This test is not about finding the shackles that go farther away. If I would like this, I would play a series of remote cuff players. I want to know that when I make a rhythm with a 7-Hakuri, it will go to the distance I expect.

The other really interesting overview here is that I was shaking the S-3s nearly an hour one hour faster than 243. Maybe there is no aerodynamic difference between the two clubs, so I assume that I was trying to swing S-3s faster in order to hit them in terms of 243.

This is not a good, stable golf recipe!

end

Pro S-3 is still an amazing iron. Gotti the same mizuno felt it keeps her followers so loyal to the brandThey look beautiful to the right player and the hands of the right player, will produce very durable and accurate results.

Unfortunately for me, I am not that player and it took me a little more than it should be, but I have accepted it.

The first round I put on 243 again in the bag, the ball hit became much easier. The ball was going to where I was looking and I didn’t have to feel like I was forcing nothing.

You will hear Johnny Wunder talk “Growing your floor” Here a lot and while I could hit the great S-3, they do not “raise my floor” by softening my deceptions the same way as the 243rd. This game doesn’t have that much to make your best shots excellent to do with the best of your worst shooting.

Both are fantastic handcuffs, but for me and my game, I will refrain from 243 because they will help me shoot the lowest possible result.
