Dunes PGA iron guide
Which Mizuno iron fits your game?
Mizuno offers one of the widest fitting ranges, from JPX Hot Metal forgiveness to compact Mizuno Pro forgings and progressive hollow-body designs.
Start with what you need
Choose performance first, then compare feel.
Head size and handicap are only starting points. Launch, carry consistency, descent angle, strike and turf interaction determine the useful answer.

| Model | Profile | Launch | Forgiveness | Distance | Best starting point for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JPX925 Hot Metal family | Game improvement | Model dependent | High | High | you want Hot Metal speed with a choice of standard, higher-launching HL or slimmer Pro shaping |
| JPX925 Forged | Midsize forged | Mid | High | Mid to high | you want a midsize forged cavity that blends ball speed, control and turf interaction |
| Mizuno Pro M-15 | Players distance | Mid | Moderate to high | High | you want a compact head with faster long irons and more controlled scoring clubs |
| Mizuno Pro M-13 | Players cavity | Low to mid | Moderate | Controlled | you want compact Mizuno Pro shaping with more support than the smallest blades |
| Mizuno Pro S-1 and S-3 | Tour compact | Low to mid | Low to moderate | Do not choose the smallest head solely because it feels best from one centred seven-iron strike. | you consistently strike the centre and value shape, feel and flight control |

Plain-English guidance
Which Mizuno Pro and JPX should you try?
One model does not have to cover the whole set. Blending easier-launching long irons with more compact scoring irons can create a better result.
JPX925 Hot Metal family
Three routes through game improvement
Consider this if: you want Hot Metal speed with a choice of standard, higher-launching HL or slimmer Pro shaping
Hot Metal provides forgiving speed, HL prioritises height and maximum help, while Pro packages the technology more compactly.
Worth knowing: The three versions share a name but can produce very different launch and visual confidence.
JPX925 Forged
Bridge performance and precision
Consider this if: you want a midsize forged cavity that blends ball speed, control and turf interaction
JPX925 Forged connects Hot Metal performance to the more compact Mizuno Pro family.
Worth knowing: It can be an excellent blend point rather than necessarily a full-set choice.
Mizuno Pro M-15
Performance changes through the set
Consider this if: you want a compact head with faster long irons and more controlled scoring clubs
M-15 uses progressive multi-material construction, including substantial suspended tungsten in the longer clubs.
Worth knowing: Its progressive construction means each part of the set should be tested for the job it performs.
Mizuno Pro M-13
Control in a refined cavity
Consider this if: you want compact Mizuno Pro shaping with more support than the smallest blades
M-13 sits within the current compact Mizuno Pro range and provides a fitting route towards precision.
Worth knowing: Check official UK fitting availability and exact set composition at the time of order.
Mizuno Pro S-1 and S-3
The most compact forged route
Consider this if: you consistently strike the centre and value shape, feel and flight control
S-1 and S-3 provide compact forged options for golfers whose strike supports a smaller performance window.
The Dunes view
Fit the set, not just the seven iron.
Mizuno's feel is important, but it cannot be the only test. We compare strike, launch, spin, descent and turf interaction, then use Swing DNA to narrow the shaft options.
