Thanks, Joe

Glad you like the reviews, Joe,

So,so,so,so,so,so strange about the offset numbers. I need to investigate that.

Thanks for the heads up

Love your reviews. Just want to point out that the Mizuno site shows the offset to be identical between the HMPro and the Forged thru the entire set. I checked 3 times. 😉

Hey Dan,

Those Hot Metal Pros are awesome.

As far as heel strikes, I never intentionally tried to hit off the heel. I’m exclusively a toe-miss guy. Never towards the heel.

Sorry I can’t help with that one.

Thanks for your comment and thanks for visiting my site.

Hey Jamie…

Excellent review. I took the plunge and ordered a set of 923 Hot Metal Pros and they feel great. I just tried the 923 Forged out last week and thought about a blended set for my scoring irons. My miss is typically more on the toe which with the HMP doesn’t punish much at all. Did you get any feedback while testing about differences in forgiveness with toe vs heal strikes between the two clubs?

In reply to Jim G. Hey Jim. Yep, those are all solid considerations. You already know my favorite irons from reading this post.

Jamie,
Thanks for all of your reviews and perspectives. Your site is an outstanding reference for golfers! Your reviews resonate well with me, as i am an 8 handicap heading to a low single digit (stopped playing for some years and getting back into it). I bought a set of Taylormade Stealth irons from Global earlier this summer (thinking forgiveness), but I am going to need a change soon. I need a SOMEWHAT FORGIVING iron with a midsized head that favors accuracy over distance. My solid struck Stealth 7 iron flies ~ 215, and the gapping is too large. Driver swing speed is 112 – 115mph, 7 iron swing is ~92mph, and i take a shallow divot. I’m considering the i230, jpx 923 forged, ZX7 MKii, or maybe combo zx5/zx7. Are these solid considerations, or are there others? Thanks again for the great site, keep it up!
Regards,
Jim
