Published

In August, our Andrew Tursky covered all the technical aspects of Mizuno’s three new irons: JPX-900 Hot Metal, JPX-900 Forged and JPX-900 Tour irons. And of course, the story linked to all the in-hand photos one could possibly desire.

If you missed those stories or photo threads, make sure to catch up with the links below.

Up to speed? Great. Now watch Mark Crossfield put all of the irons through the paces in the videos below.

    Play the 850 forged with boron….have yet to find anyone that hits them not say “I love how it feels” solid as can be….”Can I have them when you quit/die” common comment….

    Hot metal was a few yards less than the forged by was launching higher, spinning 600 rpm more and for me fit my slower swing speed better.

    I’ve hit these a couple times against the Steelhead and I picked the hot metal. Comparable distances, better feel and sound and no cost recoil 95 shaft upgrade fit me much better also you can get them for 112 a club at a number of places.

    Saw the Tour and Forged heads last night. Tour head is stunning but the size of a traditional blade. Forged looks great and may make a move to my bag over the winter months. Only issue is price. £50 more for 4-pw than the MP25s and a full £120 more than AP2s. Ouch. Crazy money for 7 irons with steel shafts.

    What is Chromoly anyway? Is that what rappers have on their escalades? I don’t know what Mizuno is doing? I remember when clubs were made IN AMERICA. Out of STEEL. This is just weird.

    That said, you call something “Hot Metal” and I’m expecting the cover of the ball to melt off. I’m expecting hotter than my griddle on sunday morning. These were warm-ish. I guess Warm Metal wouldn’t move as many units.

    In summary, I’ve seen more ballspeed on Pornhub.

    Interesting that he hit the forged model longer than the hot metal one.

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
