IRON
Mizuno Mizuno Pro 243
2024
The Pro 243 replaces the Pro 223 and is Mizuno's answer to the modern trend of distance technology creeping into players'-iron categories — reviewers (Golf Monthly, Plugged In Golf, GolfWRX, MyGolfSpy) consistently note it delivers a noticeable ball-speed and launch gain in the long irons versus its predecessor while retaining Mizuno's traditional soft forged feel in the scoring clubs. Some of that added distance comes from loft strengthening, which is an industry-wide pattern rather than something unique to Mizuno. Overall it's positioned as the 'do it all' middle option in the three-iron family, and reviewers generally rate it well for combining forgiveness with a still-compact, tour-appropriate look.

GEARCADDIE FIT VERDICT
Who should play this club — and why
BEST FOR
Designed for better players and low-single-digit handicappers who want a compact, tour-preferred iron shape but with more forgiveness and ball speed in the long irons than a traditional blade. It sits between the Pro 241 (pure muscle-back blade) and the more game-improvement-oriented Pro 245 in Mizuno's 2024 three-iron lineup.
VERIFIED PRODUCT FACTS
What is specific to this model
The Mizuno Pro 243 is a 2024 forged players'-distance iron, the middle model in Mizuno's redesigned Pro 241/243/245 lineup, replacing the Pro 223. It uses a dual-material, dual-construction cavity-back build — Chromoly long irons with a Micro Slot for extra ball speed, paired with softer-feeling mild carbon steel scoring irons — aimed at bridging distance technology with a compact, better-player shape.
