First post here. Hopefully someone on here will have thoughts.
I have hit the new Mizuno Pro irons and I love the 223s. Strongly leaning towards purchasing a set. I do have a question about gapping though. The 5-7 irons have stronger lofts, chromoly and a microslot. The 8-GW are 1025E and more traditional lofts. How is the set designed to prevent distance gaps?
For reference, I currently hit 7 iron 160, 8 iron 145, 9 iron 130 and PW 120, with lofts of 30, 34.5, 39 and 44. I know from launch monitor testing that the 223 7 iron will still go 160 for me, but I'm concerned the 8-PW distances will be less due to weaker lofts and the more traditional construction of the club. Thoughts?
