Mizuno Pro 243

The Pro 243 sits between the 241's blade feel and the 245's cavity forgiveness with a muscle-cavity design at a 33-degree 7-iron. The 2mm offset and 62.5-degree lie are consistent with the 241, but the added sole mass behind the center of the face reduces the sharpness of feedback on off-center hits. For the single-digit handicapper who finds a full blade unforgiving but wants more workability than a deep-cavity iron provides, the 243 occupies a specific and useful middle ground.
