PHOTOS: Mizuno JPX-825 Pros Irons & JPX-825 Irons, Hybrids & Woods
First photos are in on the new JPX-825 line!
Irons show a mix of typical Mizuno good looks and technology and, from what we can see of the woods, they look very solid. Maybe we have a sleeper on our hands?
JPX-825 irons replace the 2-year-old JPX-800 line, designed for the 8-30 handicapper. Staying true to their roots, it looks like there is plenty of forgiveness while keeping the iron size down to a minimum.
JPX-800 woods and hybrids have a bit of a cult following. From what these first pictures show, we seem to be getting modern redesign of the clubheads.
JPX-825 Pro irons are replacing the much heralded JPX-800 Pros, which appealed to the better player, although are listed as playable for the 4-20 handicapper. Forged? You bet.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness
New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.
The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.
For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.
While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.
A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.
A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.
You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

i have the JPX 800 pro reg , i just got fitted and need to move to a stiff shaft (300S).
I tried the 825 series and its feeling harder and more clunky of the face than the 800 series in the same stiff shaft. is the the new 825 series not as soft of the face as old 800 series.
anyone else has any thoughts please before i take the plung and change the entire set.
my handicap is 13.

I know the local Mizuno rep so I got these Irons a week ago. I had just bought some Callaway last Xmas however I have always loved the JPX 800. So I decide to take a leap of faith and just by the 825 without hitting them. I have played 4 rounds in the last week and I have lowered my score by about 5 strokes with these irons. The JPX 825 are so forgiving and long it is ridiculous. I am now shooting high 70’s and very low 80’s. I work at a golf store and I have told everyone who is between a 5 to about 15 handicap that they should try them out.

Absolutely beautiful line of clubs! Mizuno has been the undisputed king of the single digit handicap player segment for decades. Now it looks like they are taking over the mid handicap segment.
