played two rounds with a 20* and replaced it with a Bridgestone Airmuscle 19*. Just did'nt like the feel what so ever.

[EdmontonGolfer]

I picked one up and loved it. It's now in my bag.

I demo'd every major hybrid at a demo day at the range and found the 20 degree FL HI to be the best. The ball flight is straighter, without the fear of hitting a snap hook like I seem to do with most hybrids. The 20 degree seems to play much longer and with a lower boring traj than you would think it does for that loft. I would say the 20 plays like a 17 or 18 degree.

Just bought the 23 deg with R300 steel shaft. Have been so impressed that I plan to buy the 20 deg. later today. It doesn't appear to be as offset as the Callaway, Cobra and TM hybrids. Clean and straight hits every time.

[OrdinaryAngel]

I totally agree, the 20 deg fli-hi clk is the most useful club in my bag, great off the tee - long and accurate and east to hit off the fairway and rough. Interesting to see how Mizuno have improved on it with the newly relased model...

[Warszawa]

So this hybrid isn't draw-biased? I've had enough of hooking my Rescue Mid.

No, very little offset compared to the others I mentioned. It is one of the few hybrids I've played that you can actually work the ball with - highly recommended.

Anyone know what the tip size is? I picked up a 17 and 20 degree hybrid with original steel shafts. My clubmaker says it's a .355 taper tip. Is this true? I could have sworn it was a .370

[Britboy]

I agree with Moecat...switched out of a 585H...wanted to love it but it lacked the feel of other Titleist clubs...CLK is a peach...stock shaft is on the whippy side but I got the NVS X as a no-charge upgrade from Mizuno and I now finally have a hybrid I can trust...Neutral face...easy to work both ways with a high but piercing trajectory.

[bwrose6846]

Picked mine up as a demo of da bay for $35. Through 2 rounds its been a great addition to my bag for me.

[blakesmittkamp]

Another winner for Mizuno. I constantly duck hooked my Taylor Made 19* rescue and this club was straight as can be.

[PurePursuit]

Just picked up a 20 and 23 degree 2007 models. Even after one range session I can say these are great clubs, they go a little on the high side but thats intended (Fli Hi lol). They set up great, can be works a little both ways, and damn do they go far and land soft. Great 3 and 4 replacement as they are silly easy to hit.

[playmuch]

i have the 17 degree. it's really long. took my 3 wood out and added a wedge.

I just looked on the Mizuno site and the tip is .370.

**Edit - The site says it's a .370 tip, but I just looked into getting a shaft replaced, and the guy told me is was a .355 tapered tip, so I had to have a shaft specially ordered

[Britboy]

Had a .370 V2 104g inserted with no problems (awesome combo btw)...

2007 CLK FliHi 20* with the stock Exsar shaft in stiff finally solved my problem between 3wood and 4 iron. Easy to set up, easy to hit out of any lie. For those who play better with flatter lie angles, it should be the perfect club in the 20* loft range.

[Matzi]

Would the stock stiff shaft be good enough for me? My driver speed is 110-113mph.  Or would you suggest different?

edit: I bought the the 17 degree and hit it pretty good.  I hit it about 260-270.  The courses lately have been a little dry but nothing rock hard.  I dont have to worry about a 3wood now.  Pretty good off the tee too.

[bogeypro]

i just picked up the 17* version. very nice. I have yet to find a hybrid that I didn't hookt he piss out of until now. very nice setup and sits square. I love my 2 iron, but this just might the hybrid that finally knocks it out of the bag (and the hybrid hits farther, too).

[MizunoLefty]

If i was looking at replacing my 3 iron with this then what loft would i be looking at getting? My 3 iron has 21 degrees of loft. Is the aldila NV Proto Hybrid shaft any decent? I play the aldila NV 65 S in my driver now and it feels nice.

I've been using one of these in the 26* 5 hybrid for well over a year now and it's been fantastic. Like with so many who've written above, I found most of the other hybrids on the market (I've tested over 20, in the past 2 years) to be "hook machines". I was at a Mizuno demo day and had never heard much about these (it was before they made the 2008 Hotlist) but I'd hit just about every other club they had there, so I figured I might as well give these a go. Man was I glad I did! Firstly, they sat square to the target at address, which I really liked and needed (to to my natural draw/hook) and then the feel at impact was sensational. Then there was the ball flight. Long, high, penetrating and straight. From having zero expectations, I was blown away!
I started playing my own in the 5 hybrid very soon after, which I hoped would become my 5 iron replacement, but these hit the ball so damn far it became my 4 iron replacement instead.
Suffice to say, I'm still looking for an easy to hit 5 iron/5 iron replacement that I don't hook, even after more than a year. I'd love it if they made these in a 6 as well. I played this model in the 4 for a while, as well, and on one occasion found I could hit it almost as long as my 4 wood, but it wasn't as easy for me to hit as the 5, so I sold it. This is certainly a club for mid handicaps and lower and the shafts are pretty solid, even in reg flex. These especially suit those who are not too tall, as they have a relatively flat lie angle (about the same as the Ping G10), but about 2 degrees lower/flatter than some others. If you play irons with standard lie angle or flatter, this club's lie angle will probably be ideal for you. If you're taller, or are better suited to longer than standard irons and/or more upright sitting clubs, the Nike Sasquatch Sumo hybrids play very similarly and are more upright, especially in the 24* 4 hybrid.

Mizuno CLKs and Adams Idea Pros are the only hybrids that aren't hook machines for me. I have the CLK 17*, 20* and 23* as well as the Idea Pro 23*. Course layout and wind conditions drive which ones I carry on any given day.
