Introduction to the Club Acquired in Japan: MIZUNO NOTUS SUPER 55 Iron Set (10 Pieces)

 

This is an iron set, specifically the Notus SUPER 55 SYNCHRO TURN model, manufactured by MIZUNO.

Key Features of the Club

• Series Name: Notus SUPER 55 SYNCHRO TURN. This is one of Mizuno's cavity back iron series, designed primarily for amateur golfers.

• Sole Technology: The clubs feature a W.S. SOLE (Wide Sole) design. The wider sole is engineered to provide greater forgiveness on mis-hits, particularly making the club more resistant to "fat" shots (hitting the ground before the ball). This indicates it is an easy-to-hit club.

• Shaft:

• The shaft is marked with "ARCFLOW α LIGHT" and "CUSTOM-TUNED SHAFT WEIGHT AND TORQUE," which suggests it is a lightweight carbon shaft specifically tuned for this model.

• The flex (stiffness) is indicated as "F-SR". This is likely a notation specific to the Japanese market, often signifying a hardness that is intermediate—slightly stiffer than Regular (R) but softer than Stiff (S). It might stand for something like "Flex-Stiff Regular" or "Firm-Senior." Generally, this flex is suitable for golfers with average or slightly faster-than-average swing speeds.

• Club Numbers (Lofts): The set appears to include 10 clubs, ranging from 3-iron to 9-iron, plus a P (Pitching Wedge), an F (Forward Wedge, likely an approach or gap wedge), and an S (Sand Wedge).

Overall, this club set emphasizes forgiveness and ease of play, and it was primarily marketed to golfers in Japan.
