GolfWRX Spotted: Mizuno JPX 921 Forged (Update: JPX 921 Tour, too)
Update: 6/29: 10:30 P.M. Bo Hoag tweeted this shot of his JPX 921 Tour irons, indicating they are “coming 9/17/20.”
Mizuno just dropped a teaser image of the newest JPX 921 iron. Let’s call it the “921 Forged” since “Forged” is featured in the cavity.
Although we don’t have all the details about the new JPX 921 or an official release date yet (although Mizuno mentions 9/17 in its social media posts), there are a couple of things we can extrapolate from the image that give some possible clues to what might be in store.
Heat (ball speed): The first thing we notice is the obvious “heat” or steam coming from iron in the short clip (great camera work or graphics there). The JPX series has been synonymous with fast ball speeds and if the image is any indication the JPX 921 Forged is going to deliver on that message. I mean, there has never been an OEM to predominantly feature a turtle or sloth in their marketing material for good reason—although there was a time when puppets were used to sell drivers, but that’s another story for another day.
Forged Chromoly: This is the big one here! The hosel of the iron clearly stated GF Forged HD Chromoly, which to break it down means: Grain Flow Forged High-Density Chromoly. On the hosel of the Mizuno MP20 HMB it says GF Forged Chromoly but not HD, which I believe was done since the MP-20 HMB was a two-piece iron with the face and hosel forged from the Chromoly material, and the back body is a separate piece welded.
This little marking could be a clue that the JPX 921 Forged is a one-piece forged head from Chromoly, which would be a first for the company. It could also potentially mean that this club is geared more towards the better players, and the clean lines could be part of that indication.
Either way, on the heels of the highly regarded MP-20 line and the previous JPX 919 series, the new 921 irons are looking to be a very big release for Mizuno.

Looks like a copy of the Ping i210. Except a little busier and less durable.

I think it looks a lot more like the 919s lol

People are such suckers for “forged”. Chromoly is hard af. Don’t care what you say, it’ll go far but it ain’t gonna feel soft.
RobK
Jul 29, 2020 at 10:36 am
It will be softer then the boron infused in the 919

If this is a forged version of the Hot Metal Pro…I’m inp
RobK

Well the 921 is forged in chromoly. Where the 919 hmpro was cast in chromoly. The head size on the 919 forged and hmpro were very similar, I think the forged was slightly thinner. So this new 921forged is basically the forged version of last years 919 hmpro, sorta? Lol. I know you get what I mean. And I’m sure there’s other new “tech” in there we don’t know about yet.

Maybe there is hope that a Hot Metal version of this also becomes a forged club?
I traded my old first generation Callaway Apex for the 919 Hot Metal. Even if the feel (sound) of the Hot Metal is OK the Apex with it’s combination of forged body and thin steel face was even better. If Mizuno could do the same and combine a Chromology forged body with a nice thin face for ball speed I think it would be awesome!

Not many people buy 14 irons, so probably only half a skillion dollars.

I need to investigate these babies more closely. In a word, to my eye, stunning. Some say you can’t see the back of the iron at address. So be it. However, walking up to my bag and seeing an appealing, powerful looking cavity is inspiring.
Go Mizuno!

wouldnt mind a degree strong on this line
T
Jul 27, 2020 at 8:45 pm
If they follow lofts of the 919 Forged, the 7i is already 32 degrees. I don’t think they will be any stronger than that. You get into Hot Metal irons at 30 degrees for the 7i

No offset and I might consider them.

Move along then. You’re only going to find “no offset” in blades.

The 919 4i had 0.152 and the Tour was 0.126. I think there’s hope.

Jul 27, 2020 at 6:16 pm
So which is more durable: 1025 Boron or HD Chromoly? Serious, intelligent answers please.
RobK
Jul 27, 2020 at 7:56 pm
Definetly the boron. As a JPX919 forged player, I can’t wait to get these and remove the boron. The boron is like tungsten, adds some weight to the flu head and makes it a little harder(more durable)
Scott Francis
Jul 27, 2020 at 4:17 pm
Yeah they look identical to 919
johnny p
Jul 27, 2020 at 3:49 pm
Irons all look the same anymore
RobK
Jul 27, 2020 at 1:52 pm
No more boron? That means the only question is- is how much I’ll get for my JPX919 Forged trade in.
T
Jul 27, 2020 at 4:15 pm
If I’m not mistaken, and from what I have read, Chromoly is a more expensive material then the boron infused carbon steel of the 919. I think the real question will be, how much is Mizuno going to charge for the JPX921 Forged?
RobK
Jul 29, 2020 at 10:32 am
Price isn’t changing. Even if it was- it wouldn’t be a question I care about. Just how much am I getting for my 919
