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.

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.

Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
