Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi

[TJ Hall]

I’ve gone through quite a few driving irons recently, but see the Mizuno is coming out with a new Pro Fli-Hi soon…it has my attention as they will have a LH version.

Anybody have any experience with any version of the Pro Fli-Hi and willing to share some thoughts?

I started with the Titleist U510 and then couldn’t get along with it, went to the Ping G425 Crossover and didn’t have good results, using a Srixon ZX Utility now and have decent results, just need a bit more distance with it.

I am a fellow lefty so can't tell you too much other than in fittings that I have done several people loved them. Sorry, wish I could provide more first hand experience but am still using a G410 Crossover from PING.

I love my Fli-Hi 3-iron. I too have my eye on the new release to find out if it’s measurably better not. It’s a great driving iron and versatile enough to play extremely well from the fairway and the rough. 

Definitely worth check out.

What degree on your Srixon Utility?  Any adjustments you could make on it to get a little more out of it?

It’s a 20 degree, but the flight is already lower than I would like.  While the low flight is good for off the tee and roll out, looking for something I can get high for approaches.

It was quite sad the other day I hit my 4 iron and Srixon off the tee and hit both solid, the balls were sitting within a yard of each other with the 4 iron slightly farther.

I was looking at the 410 also, while I can find some deals on lefty clubs, typically have to go in without trying them out as there aren’t many out there.

Thanks for the input, it is quite a sharp looking club.  What shaft do you have in yours?

It came stock with the Hazardous Black. The sole is quite wide so it plays like a hybrid in some ways. But I find it much easier to hit than a true hybrid.

I’ve always struggled with hybrids, so that’s why I’ve leaned toward the utilities.  Most sites that have the new model come with a SteelFiber shaft, but the Hazardous was listed as an option on the Mizuno site…that is the shaft that I was leaning towards.

Yeah, not spectacular for approaches.

It might just be my swing but I’ve found I get a pretty high ball flight and it hold the green really well. I like it because it swings like an iron (I still prefer longer irons) but comes into greens pretty softly so they can hold a green even from 230 yds away.

That is almost exactly what I’m looking for!  This might be a new addition to my bag in the near future.
