Mizuno JPX921 Forged Iron VS Mizuno JPX919 Forged Iron - New VS Old

[@oldandstiff]

Good emphasis/mention of the faster swing speed with the 921. Thoughtful and thorough, and definitely swinging better than your initial review. Good stuff. Keep it coming.

[@gb8327]

having viewed all of these mizuno 921 forged reviews over the past week, it is quite remarkable how every single tester has shown very tight dispersion with the new irons, in some cases crazy good consistency that has even taken the player by surprise... mine are on order so i am glad they are being so well received.

[@TheNightstalker67]

G B - I had same result, very tight grouping for me, I just ordered today.

[@Unplugged704]

I had 900 forged, sold it and bought 919 forged and 919 Tour. Just love Mizunos. May get the 921 also. :) Love your swing Michael! As always great review! Thanks!

[@curtisl476]

I demo'ed the 919 Forged when they came out and I wasn't crazy about them. I hit the 921's last week and walked out with a full set. For me they are the perfect size, amazing feel, good forgiveness and long. I traded out of Titleist T100's.

Hi, how does the forged compare to the HMB?

[@mattdebialmand2438]

I just got fitted for my 921 forged irons, I was a little shocked in that I have been gaming the ping i500’s for the past couple of years, and have always been a ping guy, but these clubs were so much better in terms of feel, performance and forgiveness.

[@carldavies7321]

Great review. I'm looking to upgrade my JPX 900 HM to the 921 Forged and this has made my decision easier.

[@pubahs]

Great review and comparison. I think I will be upgrading this winter from my Titleist AP1 714s into these JPX921 Forged after all the consistent reviews of dispersion, feel, and looks. I don't buy clubs often (as evident with my 714s) so I want them to last me awhile.

[@brucecrouch802]

I’ve had MP20 HMB for just over a year now and been mostly happy, KBS Tour 100 shaft. 921 wasn’t available when I purchased. Hit a bucket with JPX921 7 iron with 3 different shafts a week ago (PX LZ 5.5 / KBS Tour V 90 / Modus 105 S) and it felt good with a slightly stronger ball flight than my HMB. Went to Mizuno Demo day yesterday, warmed up, took some measurements with my HMB 7 iron. Hit a couple with the Mizuno Bluetooth shaft optimiser / selector, put the shaft I thought would be for me based on last week (ie. Modus 120 S) straight away. Step up absolutely flushed the first 4 shots, about 1-2 mtrs of dispersion, gained 5 Mph Ball Speed approx. 8 Mtrs carry. Ball flight was in a much better and stronger window. I’m not playing down the 1 degree less loft, or the shaft, but combo of the new head technology and the shaft well happy days.......only issue now is I have to wait 8 weeks and sell my HMBs.

[@thomaswashbush7598]

I have 919s. Didn’t see enough there to compel me to move to the 921s

[@kwragan501]

Thomas Washbush same here and I completely agree. There just isn’t enough difference to being me to spend another $1000 to upgrade. Another 5 years from now.... we will see.

[@jonathanbalangon9671]

Please do a 919HM Pro vs 921HM Pro compare with lots of pics in regards to head size dimensions. Thanks

[@BSed31]

I can tell you just from what I already know, this is the year of my l more compact clubs from Mizuno. The 921 HMP is much more compact than 919 and also has much less offset. Same trend with the forged. I'm considering going for a HMP 22* and then 4 degree gaps with a forged/tour combo set.

[@troyajohnson26]

Man, your swing is butter. I’m giving the HM or HMP a try. They both feel lovely

[@phillewis2616]

If I could have any KZbinrs swing it’d be yours. Amazing. And great videos too 🙂

[@mariofonseca9267]

For this test to be more insightful you must make the lofts the same....otherwise you will start guessing where the ball speed contribution is coming from. However based on the smash factor, it seems that the 921 face is making more of a contribution..

[@davewarrington4483]

Hey Mike, watching these Mizuno reviews VERY closely! Any chance of a comparison between the 921 Forged and the MP20 HMB 🤔 I may have to come in for a fitting lol 😂

[@SportCardOz]

Hi Michael, any chance you could do a JPX900F vs JPX921F - They are the same lofts across the sets so would be easy to see if the chromoly and new head is making any difference. Have had the 900's for nearly 4 years and played over 250 rounds with them so figure this is around the time to upgrade.

[@richardsdiaz1]

Nice comparison! A needed addition to the library!

[@jupitermotf]

I received a demo set via GlobalGolf’s U-Try program (JPX 921 Forged w/ Project X LZ Blackout shafts). I started paying attention to Mizuno after watching another yt channel and then this review video. My old set is TM Rocketbladez that are showing their age. I agree with everything in your review. They’re beautiful and have a clean, minimalist appearance. Ball flight is excellent. The sound and feel are equally amazing. I took them to the range early this morning and hit a small bucket with the 7 iron. I figured if I didn’t like them, I could return the set having used only one club, and if I did like them I’d use them in my round later that morning. The 7 felt great on the range, so off to the course. As the round went, I was more sure that I was going to keep the set. Then on 18, par 5, I hit a 205 yd shot onto the green with the 5 iron that felt better than any shot I’ve ever hit. I can’t describe the feeling when you hit these clubs flush. It’s pure joy. That shot sold the set. I immediately said “Oh yeah I’m keeping these.”

The 921 dispersion was awesome especially taking into account the loft difference. 👍👍👍 great review

[@jeffcsMN]

Just put a set of 919 pros in my bag yesterday, but have 30 days to try them out. The cost to upgrade to 921’s is $150 so I’m tempted to return them and get fitted for the 921 pros.

[@txkevin3467]

I sure like my 919 Forged clubs. I was fit into them and quite intimidated at first coming from high forgiveness, game improvement Ping G400's. I have found the 919's to be very forgiving, yet they communicate strike quality and shape well (given my skill limitations). I do very much prefer the Mat finish. What I like most about the clubs is the consistency of distance. For me my 8 iron is 150 yds and each club is almost exactly 10 yards difference..... so 7 iron is 160 and 9 iron is 140 and so on. I love that consistency. Combine that with the variety of the Mizuno stock shaft offerings, the amazingly soft feel on good strikes and the surprisingly accurate "3 swing fitting" device they have and I have become a big Mizuno fan.

[@Oro-xc7vg]

Hello Michael. As you have tested the Forged 900, 919 and 921. Which of the three has de bigger blade or face lenght. Please please answer, this will help a lot for taking a decision.

[@evoviiiyou831]

Already got my preorder in to put the 919F set as the back up set. I think the 921F is the hero club of this family with the added forgiveness and distance gained. That’s saying a lot provided how much improved the 919F was over the 900F in my fitting. Also love how they covered up the slot on the 4-7. Just a more mature version...evolution is grand

[@okimike5963]

I’m still playing the 850 Forged and love them. I feel the 850 has a slimmer profile than the 900/919 and am looking to finally upgrade as my swing has evolved quite a bit. I tested out the MP20 MMC last week and really loved them, but am waiting until I can take a look at the 921 Tour and Forged first. I’d love to see a comparison of the 921 Tour to the MP 20 MMC. The fitting I did with the MMCs was with nspro modus3 tour 105 x-stiff (slightly better control for me than the Project X LZ 6.5). Will also be exploring graphite i.e. SteelFiber FC115 X (stock option), Accra iCWT 95, Fujikura Pro 95 X and would love to see that in a comparison

[@davidpoulsen1257]

Having recently replaced my 900 Forged with i210's (wanted the MP20 but couldn't argue with the numbers) the question is are the 921's good enough to pull me back into the Mizunos.....confused

[@Boss302ATC]

David I replaced my Callaway CBs with the I210s, and I love them. If you have i210 you probably aren't chasing extra distance, spin and control are way more important. 200 yard 7 iron spinning 5200 isn't what I want at all. Also, 200 yard 7 iron (mine goes 178 as it is) just means another wedge, and bigger gaps. What's the point? They are beautiful though!

I hit the MP20 MMC yesterday along with the new JPX 921 HMP. the HMP felt great and was very tight-not as much dispersion as the MMC. But yeah, the 921 was crazy long with less spin. My good strikes on the MMC were low 180's and best was 189. On the 921, I was striking mid 180s at worst, and my longest strike was 201 at 129mph ball speed. For a freaking 7 iron. I loved how straight they were though! Long is great but what, am I going to carry 5 clubs below a PW?

[@scottmcdonald2264]

Hi Michael, would you pay the $$$ to upgrade to the 921f if you were currently playing the 919f? is it worth the upgrade or do you think, stick with the 919f as there is not enough benefit for the cost. .

Great review mike. I had the 919 Forged for nearly 1 year, but felt the face with Boron wasnt soft enough. Also had an issue with the grooves collapsing on the 8 iron and just after 1 year Mizuno wouldn’t honor their warranty. (I wound up ordering a replacement 8 iron). the 921 Forged will definitely be a great comparison to Ping i210’s when i go for my custom fit. Would like to see a comparison of the i210 to the 921 Forged. Next spring maybe the replacement i210 will be out ?

I have the 919 forged and I've liked them a lot. I don't think I would upgrade. I definitely don't like the 1° stronger loft. You were flying 7 iron 205 with the 921. I think there is a line that can be crossed that's too hot or strong with the 921

I am a average iron player at BEST and I use the Tour 6-PW, and forged 4/5. My miss is always thin or heavy so no club can fix that. I actually prefer the smaller tour head, it makes me focus more.
