MIZUNO XR3 IRONS

[Postie]

I was using until 2 years ago an old set of Mizuno XR3 blades which
I changed for the much more forgiving MX17.Dose anyone no any of the history of these clubs?
Maybe their is someone on the Mizuno staff or a fitter who may no
somthing?

My Mum & Dad bought me a set for passing all my 'O' Levels - still in the loft I think!

They're about 20/25 years old and, as I recall, introduced to the UK by a concern called National Golf - a forerunner to the likes of American Golf etc - the shop in Chester was run by Mark Roe's Dad.

As far as I'm aware they were Mizuno's first foray into the UK. Either that, or Mizuno made a couple of retailer specific models. My mate bought a set of lovely Mizuno blades called "Elite Pro" around the same time.

I thought they were good clubs; forged blades (3-SW) and persimmon woods (1, 3, & 5) and certainly did me proud for many years.

Hope that helps.
