Mizuno Pro S-1 Irons: Building The Signature Series

While it won’t command the market attention of whatever the next hot game-improvement iron happens to be, the launch of the S-1 – the second iron in Mizuno’s MP Signature Series – represents a significant expansion of a concept that’s proving to be more successful than even Mizuno anticipated.

When the S-3 launched earlier this year, we knew it was just the beginning. It wouldn’t be much of a “series” with just one model and sales numbers suggest Mizuno was onto something. The S-3 has proven to be a genuine success story with sales up 83 percent compared to its predecessor, the JPX 923 Tour.

Now comes the S-1, a single-piece forged blade that serves as the functional replacement for the Mizuno Pro 241. Like the S-3, it’s an extension of the Signature Series, not a replacement, and given the numerical convention, it’s reasonable to expect Mizuno will continue adding models to the lineup.

Mizuno Signature Series philosophy

The fundamental goal of Mizuno’s MP Signature Series remains unchanged: to provide more options for better players and Tour staff whom Mizuno perhaps hadn’t served as well in recent years. The S-Series represents a return to what MP was—classic, timeless designs built to appeal to better players and purists.

What Signature Series designs share is that each will be a single-piece forged iron designed with longevity in mind. Think about those classic Mizuno irons we remember fondly – the MP-33, 37, 60 and MP-32. Those models may have disappeared from the market but the designs themselves are timeless.

How Did Vessel Become The Staff Bag Of Choice for So Many Tour Pros?

Imagine you’re a professional tour player and you’re on the putting green on a Tuesday or a Wednesday before a run-of-the-mill tournament. You’re trying to groove your stroke and get a feel for the speed of the greens you’ll be playing when, all of a sudden, some random guy from behind the ropes shouts out a question.

“Hey, how do you like your staff bag?”

As crazy as it may sound, dear readers, that’s exactly how Vessel got started on its journey to being the staff bag of choice among professional golfers.

That was 13 years ago and Vessel founder Ronnie Shaw remembers it as if it were yesterday.

“It was the LPGA Kia Classic in Carlsbad (Calif.),” Shaw tells MyGolfSpy. “I went down there and talked to every player I could. ‘Hey, can I make a bag for you?’”

3 Rangefinders That Do More Than Just Give You Yardages

Golf rangefinders are great for giving you yardage to the pin. We’ve come to expect that any rangefinder worth buying should be, at the very least, accurate and repeatable. However, with some of these devices now costing upwards of $500, many golfers are asking a fair question:

“What else can it do for me?”

Here are three rangefinders from the 2025 MyGolfSpy Best Rangefinder test that truly go above and beyond.

Bushnell Pro X3+LINK

The Bushnell Pro X3+LINK was the best overall in MyGolfSpy’s 2025 rangefinder test with a score of 9.8/10. It has unmatched accuracy, fast target lock and elite optics. It also has some smart features that really push this one into its own tier.

What it does besides just give you a yardage:

Wind data overlay: When paired with the Bushnell Golf app, it shows wind speed and direction in terms of “helping” or “hurting” your shot.Elements-compensated distances: Adjusts yardages for temperature, barometric pressure and elevation.LINK-enabled club recommendations: Syncs with your launch monitor data to suggest clubs based on real carry yardages and then shows them directly in the viewfinder.

Who it’s for:
Golfers who want every bit of shot-planning data possible and already use a launch monitor or app to track stats. Also great for those who play in variable weather and elevation.

5 Signs Your Irons No Longer Fit Your Game

For many golfers, upgrading your irons isn’t about outdated technology or worn grooves—it’s about your game. Are your irons still a good match for how you swing and how you play? If they no longer align with your current style or skill level, they can quietly cost you strokes and make consistency harder to find. Here are five signs your irons may no longer fit your game.

Your ball flight doesn’t match your intentions

Does your ball flight match what you are trying to get the golf ball to do?

You might be trying to hit a high, soft 7-iron into the green, but the ball keeps coming out low and running long. Maybe you want to play a knockdown, and your irons balloon on you.

This is often a mismatch between:

Your swing and your shaft profileYour launch needs and your iron’s design

As your swing evolves, especially with changes in tempo, speed or delivery, you may need different launch, spin or trajectory characteristics than your current irons deliver. There is some skill involved with controlling ball flight but if you find yourself working around your ball flight instead of working with it, it may be time for an iron change.
