Recommend the Mizuno MP-30 irons and/or MX-20s over MX-23s. MX-23s have poor feel and directional control and appeared to favor thin hits. MX-20s were superior to MP23s and the MP30s. MP 30s perform, set-up and feel superior to MX-20 and 23. Forgiveness even appears better with the MP-30 irons.

These Mizuno MX-23 irons are lovely clubs. Because they are forged, the MX-23s feel a great deal softer than my old clubs (which were T-Zoid clones). The clubs are also very well balanced. Although just a beginner at the game, I find that they are very forgiving and give me a confidence boost when standing over the ball. The Mizuno MX-23s are also great looking! I would recommend shopping around however, as there is a great range of prices out there and these are not cheap sticks! Those on a budget would do well to consider second-hand, rather than pay the same price for new and inferior.
