When they say nothing feels like a Mizuno, they aren’t lying. I was playing the Mizuno JPX921 Forged and thought nothing could feel better. I was very happy with them. Then I saw a pic of the 221’s and 225’s and it was love at first sight. I demoed both but the feel of a well struck Mizuno blade is the feel that dreams are made of. I didn’t need new irons, my JPX921’s were only a year old (150 rounds) but all I could think about was the 221’s. I bit the bullet and have played close to 10 rounds and 8 range sessions and I couldn’t be happier. The feel, turf interaction, shot control, looks at address and distance control are absolutely amazing. I was worried that I might lose some distance going to blades, not only have I maintained distance, but my club gaps are much more consistent at 10-13yds between clubs and distance control with half and 3/4 swings are much more reliable. I’m not a low single digit handicap, I’m an 8-10 hdcp and I have no problem playing these irons, as a matter of fact my iron play has improved since I started using the 221’s If you’re on the fence about buying these irons, don’t hesitate, you won’t be sorry.
