Good players, those that vie for club championships, circle state amateur competitions on their calendars and who occasionally taken on local club pros, demand feel and workability from their irons. They want to work shots left and right, hoist them up and knock them down on demand. To get that kind of control, many players opt for muscleback blade irons that Mizuno prides itself in making.
