Titleist T150 Vs Mizuno Pro 245 Irons

Titleist and Mizuno are both known for exceptional iron play.

But which brand will come out on top in today’s comparison?

Titleist T150 Irons Overview

“The T150s feature dual tungsten weighting, variable bounce sole and CNC face-milling.”

They have a really clean look at address – a thin top line with soles that just barely peek out behind the 7-iron.

And overall, they are more forgiving than the Mizuno Pro 245s. But the launch was hard to control in the long and mid irons.

The T150s typically sell for around $1200.

Mizuno Pro 245 Irons Overview

Mizuno Pro 245 Irons

“The Pro 245s feature a soft copper underlay, tungsten weighting and are grain flow forged.”

They have a very modern player’s iron profile – thin soles, thin top lines, short blade length and no discernable offset.

The Mizuno Pro 245s are remarkably workable with much clearer feel and launch control.

The turf interaction was also very clean even from the semi-rough. The Pro 245 irons cost $1400.

“The Mizuno Pro 245s were the clear winner. They offer better feel, feedback and control overlaunch conditions.

Still, the Titleist T150s offer more forgiveness and are more suitable for mid handicap players.”

Titleist T150 – First Impressions

The first thing we noticed about the T150 was the classy, refined look that we are used to in Titleist irons.

The blades have a compact blade length and minimal offset but the wider soles offer more confidence at address.

The refined muscle channel is also immediately noticeable, adding to the power and distance of the irons.

You may not notice the CNC Precision milled grooves or the Tungsten weighting in the toe and the heel but you will definitely notice and get to know them as your strike your irons.

Overall, you are going to get the tour refined shaping with an extra bit of power and forgiveness, perfect for those perhaps trying out forged players irons for the first time.

Mizuno Pro 245 Irons – First Impressions

“My first impression of the Mizuno Pro 245 irons was that they looked shockingly similar to the Mizuno Pro 225’s.”

In fact, I set both of them down beside each other and could barely tell the difference.

The scoring lines and hitting in the Mizuno Pro 245 irons are a little lighter in color than the 225’s; but other than that, the 245’s are as compact as the 225’s.

The good news about all that is that the Mizuno Pro 245 irons truly do look like blades even though they technically aren’t blades.

So you get that clean, blade-like look at address with the bonus of a true distance boost.

Irons 2-7 in this set have a suspended tungsten weight which allows for a lower CG without inhibiting face flex.

As a result I was getting great ball speed – 117.4 MPH with the 7-iron on average.

But in the scoring irons, you have a 1025E semi-hollow body with a 17-4 stainless steel back piece to help control the flight a bit more and get the CG a bit higher.

This provides a more solid feel, better feedback and better overall control over spin and launch.

The Mizuno Pro 245 irons also produced near-immediate distance for me. Within the first three swings I was averaging a carry distance of 170.5 yards with the 7-iron.

But what surprised me even more than the distance were the spin rates.

As a player’s distance iron, I was expecting some low spin numbers. But my average spin rate with the Mizuno Pro 245 7-iron was 5200 RPMs.

And keep in mind that these are relatively strong-lofted irons – the 7-iron checks in at 30°.

Who Are The T150 Irons For

The T150 are for low handicappers who want more distance and forgiveness than what is on offer with the T100’s.

Similar in blade length but with thicker soles and enhanced tungsten weighting offers tour like performance with more distance for slower swing speeds and more forgiveness for the top players who lack consistency.

The one thing that may put golfers off is the higher price point of the irons in today’s game.

Who Are the Mizuno Pro 245 Irons for?

“The Mizuno Pro 245 irons are for the player that really wants the look of blades with the performance of distance irons.”

I can imagine that 13-about 22 handicappers will really like these irons. Of course, as Mizuno irons, the short irons are very workable.

You can feel every nuance of your contact and get a keen sense of overall control.

But it’s the mid and long irons that really impressed me. They will be great for mid and high-ish handicappers who need help staying on the green.

They also don’t look like your typical player’s distance irons.

They aren’t as compact as blades; but everything else is blade-like. The top line is thin, the soles are compact and the offset is nearly non-existent.

The Mizuno Pro 245’s would be great for the player who isn’t quite ready to graduate to blades; but still wants blade-like feel, looks and performance.

The Mizuno Pro Family of Irons

The Mizuno Pro 225 irons have a nearly identical profile to the Mizuno Pro 245’s.

They also share the same grain-flow forging and hollow body design. But the Pro 225’s spin a bit lower than the Mizuno Pro 245’s and have a more penetrating flight.
