MIZUNO PRO 221 LIMITED EDITION BLUE IP, 4-PW

On day 1 of the 150th Open Championship, Mizuno unveiled a limited edition Mizuno Pro 221 muscleback, in a stunning blue IP finish. The irons, of which 1,221 sets will be available from Autumn 2022 boast a smoky blue plating, an exclusive staff banded ‘icon’ ferrule, MCC Teams Blue / White grips and a custom labelled DG Tour Issue S400 shaft. As per Mizuno’s prior Blue IP wedges, the plating will be softer than standard chrome and combined with copper underlay for a sensational feel. Owners may prefer to maintain the irons pristine condition within a unique white Mizuno Pro case – which adds to their collectability.

The Ultimate Muscleback 

Inspired by the iconic blades of Mizuno past – evolved to be more playable through incremental refinements in shape and weight placement. Bevelled for the appearance of a shorter face profile and narrower top line – without loss of mass in the upper blade. With dramatically more compact scoring irons than its predecessors. Grain Flow Forged in Hiroshima, Japan, with a soft copper underlay for a uniquely satisfying Mizuno sensation at impact.  

FORGED IN HIROSHIMA JAPAN: One-piece Grain Flow Forged HD from 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel at Mizuno’s iconic facility in Hiroshima, Japan – where Mizuno irons have been produced since 1968.

SOFT COPPER UNDERLAY: A microlayer of copper beneath Nickel Chrome – for the purest, softest feel made famous in the legendary TN87. Reintroduced in 2019.

THICKER BEHIND IMPACT: Mass relocated from the heel area to muscle pad produces a slightly muted sound preferred in our ‘blind’ tour tests.

SHORTER & MORE COMPACT APPEARANCE:  Shrewdly bevelled to deliver the appearance of a thinner top edge and shorter head length – without loss of playability.

CONTROLLED SHOT SHAPING: Mizuno’s shortest CG / shaft axis is consistent from 3-PW, allowing controlled fades and draw feels right through the set.

NOTICEABLY SMALLER SHORT IRONS: Following feedback from the tour, 8-PW are dramatically reduced in size – with a heavily taped upper blade to control trajectory.
