The company says these irons signify a revolutionary leap in golf club design, a testament to Mizuno's enduring commitment to precision craftsmanship and forging excellence.

The Mizuno Pro Irons are the result of a long-standing connection between Mizuno's club engineers and the legendary Grain Flow Forging plant in Hiroshima, Japan. This unique relationship has enabled the creation of increasingly intricate designs flawlessly incorporated into the finished equipment. Every fraction of a millimetre and subtle curve has been meticulously considered, shaping the future of golf club technology.

Mizuno Director of Research and Development, David Llewellyn, emphasised the significance of this innovation, stating: "Other manufacturers have widely adopted Mizuno's work to elevate the performance of elite player's irons. What now sets Mizuno apart is the ability to apply precise manufacturing techniques learned at our long-standing forging plant in Hiroshima, Japan, to increasingly complex designs."

Mizuno Product Director Chris Voshall added: "Everything about the new Mizuno Pro 241/243/245 and Fli-Hi is pushed to the extreme – from technology to more streamlined playing profiles. Each model has become better at its specific job, more distinct, yet able to be blended when required."

Llewellyn explains more about each model.

"With a muscle-back, the gains are in the details. The key to a visually appealing top line might be a fraction of a millimetre, which can be lost or created in manufacturing. Working hand in hand with our forging plant for so many years allowed us to be incredibly precise in the engineering and craftsman's stages of the Mizuno Pro 241," Llewellyn said.

Mizuno Pro 243

"The Mizuno Pro 243 is the model that’s advanced the most, mainly due to evolution on the manufacturing side. It’s one thing for the R&D team to design a thinner face iron with stronger materials in the CAD world – but something else to have it Grain Flow Forged to those specifications and strength requirements.

"There’s so much to the Mizuno Pro 245 for an iron of its size and shape. A multi-piece Grain Flow Forged Chromoly construction, suspended Tungsten weight, and multi-thickness face. Impossible without Mizuno evolving its Grain Flow Forging process in Hiroshima.

"Hybrid type irons generally use a flat sheet metal for the face – but upgrading to a heat-treated 4335 Nickel Chromoloy allowed us to incorporate a faster multi-thickness face and off-set face weld for the Fli-Hi."

Mizuno Pro irons are available in store from January 26.
