“The new Mizuno Pro M15, probably the best iron of 2026.”
He is gobsmacked: a bladey-looking iron with vomit-inducingly good dispersion and matching peak heights on mishits that he crowns probably the best iron of 2026, preferring it even over the M13.
+ the facts · 5 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Outrageous dispersion; well-struck and mishit shots produced the same or similar peak height
- +Blade-like looks in a forgiving hollow-body package, one of the prettiest forgiving irons
- +High launch with easy height and distance
- −Noticeably less spin than the M13 (toe-struck 7 irons dipping into the 4,000s)
- −Going to cost a fair bit
For: Golfers who want a blade look with height, distance and real forgiveness

The sleekest Mizuno he's seen since the MP-32: a stunning hollow-body with real distance (200-yard 5 iron), quintessential Mizuno feel, and mishit forgiveness that sold him on the 7 and 9 irons, though they're very expensive and spin runs low.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Outstanding looks; sleekest Mizuno design since the MP-32
- +Quintessential Mizuno feel and sound from grain flow forged HD chromoly
- +Real distance: ~200-yard 5 iron, strong carries even on bad strikes
- −Quite expensive
- −Low spin through the 5 and 7 irons compared to rivals, with hot run-outs (7 iron running to 190)
For: Mizuno fans who want a hollow-body players distance iron to rival the P790 crowd
