MIZUNO JPX EZ FORGED IRONS BY MID HANDICAPPER

[@mizunogolf1906]

Nice test guys. Glad you noticed the loft difference - we could trick a few more yards out of a 6 iron by bending it a few more degrees (but that's not the Mizuno way). The feel will be different to an iron like the MP-5's as the face is thinner.......that's more of a factor than the material itself. The Boron just allows us to manufacture a thinner faced forging. Anyway - nice swinging Rob.

[@seminolekilla]

Still 2 degrees stronger than my old MX 15s. Miss the more traditional lofts of the MX 15 but I’m enjoying the EZ Forged.

[@LMFNinja]

I bought the JPX-EZ forged irons a couple of weeks ago. I have played several rounds and practiced at the range with them. They are excellent clubs and I am very happy I bought them. Cheers.

[@kevinself116]

Rob and Rick are so great together. Keep up the great work guys. As for Mizunos, you are correct. There is no feel like a well struck Mizuno iron. The feel and strike just differ from the other manufacturers. I play the Bridgestone J40 cavity back irons and they are very close in feel. I really enjoy watching the reviews and the knowledge Rob/Rick articulate to the audience. Thanks again.

[@344012]

I play the Mizuno JPX-850s forged. They were my first set of irons that I've bought with my specs and they were the first clubs I tested prior to getting fit. The first buttery hit I had with them gave me goosebumps, and that had me hooked since then. Another friend of mine tested the Titleist AP1/2 and he let me hit one. I have to be honest and say that the Titleist did feel softer, but it wasn't the feel I enjoyed. Another friend of mine has played for years, mostly with Callaways and Titleist clubs. He hit my Mizunos and couldn't put them down. I think people buy clubs due to price, looks, popularity, feel and performance. If you like the clubs, you may think they feel better.

[@carvin69thinline65]

I am in the market for another set of irons. These and the XR Pros were my two choices. Since I will buy them used and have them tweaked for my settings the Mizunos win because they are forged and will take to bending more safely. It's brilliant seeing a regular golfer like Rob featured on these videos. Keep it up.

[@resims332]

I have Mizuno JPX-Ezs and love them. i was fitted professionally and tried many different clubs to see which i hit best. I ended up with MIzuno's and at that point wasn't a huge fan, but after playing with them... all i can say is they are fantastic!

[@ronandoolan7694]

Just put these in the bag replacing a set of Wilson Fg Tour. Not playing as much golf as i used to so was struggling with forgiveness on the Fg Tour on non center strikes. Only played 3 rounds with these but already love that extra bit of forgiveness I get out of them but still feel lovely.

[@adolfozayas3359]

Truly enjoy the mid handicapper series. Rob is awesome.

[@nueardant]

being a non pro golfer, Rob's feed back is really helpful

[@RickShielsPGA]

+Alex Ma glad you enjoy

[@eriktorngren4079]

Can you review some Wilson Staff clubs? Having a family and money being a little tight, I always go for what I would term "best value"--performance for the price. At least in the US, often WS is priced a little less than the big names. I'm curious to see what you and Rob think of them. Anyway, great video as always!

[@TheSonofbuck]

I really like this series. Keep it up

[@RickShielsPGA]

+Mark S thanks Mark

[@bfgolf]

I really love my jpx850 forged, boron supposed to make the steel stronger not harder, mine are very soft but with a perimeter weighted iron like these and many others they just are not going to feel quite as soft as a blade or any iron with more weight behind the ball. there is always gonna be a little trade off

[@leoallen28]

This review really helped me out on choosing irons I love them keep up the videos

[@mikeyshore16]

Great review rob! And Rick, I played taylormade rocketbladez tour for two years earlier this is I wanted to dial in my shots ( was losing far to many shots long.) went and got fitted wanting a softer feel and something with more grab on the green. Tried the ap2 716, psi forged and mizuno mp-25. The mp-25 came out on top, more consistent with flight and spin And was stopping on a dime! Currently going through a rough patch with my irons but getting everything back, and loving my mizuno's!

[@PeaceLoveVolvo]

These are great irons. A buddy of mine plays a set and last time we went to the range he let me try them out. Love the look, feel and performance. If I wasn't so loyal to my Ping irons I'd be playing the JPX EZ's myself!

[@ryank5350]

Very nice video once again Rick! You continue to be my go to channel for all golf tips and videos that I need. Thanks for making very quality videos. Keep it up!

[@RickShielsPGA]

+Ryan Klismith thanks very much Ryan. So glad you enjoy them

[@scott5322]

Been gaming these irons about 4 months now. Great set of clubs, feels like butter and they travel far.

[@jeffroyston9390]

Rick (OK & you Rob), please keep these coming. Test everything. It is all well & good for pros to give opinions but Rob's are more relevant to us mid handicappers / weekend warriors. Cheers guys

[@dave6411]

just bought these with custom fit. slight different fit to dobby though. Mine are 1 1/2 lengthened 4deg upright. Great club and hits really well adding confidence when stood over. Just need to work the swing to match

[@mb28540]

I have these clubs. I feel the same way, they have good distance without jacking up the lofts, and they feel great for a middle ground between super game improvement and blades. Mizuno did well with these. They wear well too, still look classy used. Lose the dark look but still awesome.

[@joshtighe6775]

I have used many irons and, personally, I like Spalding. Not most golfers first choice but they work for me and are very cheap. I would definitely recommend them for people who are tight on dosh.

[@nordkap1000]

Hi Rick. Need a tip, have right now the sldr raylormade clubs and thought about getting new ones, eny tips?

[@jasonnorton906]

Hey Rick, I'm trying to find these clubs new 4-pw or at least close to new quality with stiff shafts but not having any luck. Do you still have this set? Or know of anyone who has a set in excellent condition? Thanks in advance. Really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@ktbo]

Can you get Dobby to test the Srixon z545?

[@ianrobinson7625]

I second that , would love Dobby to review these clubs.

[@brendos444]

that set would suit him down to the ground. It will be interesting to see if they get that distance with the same spin he got from the JPX EZs.

[@cwugrad396]

and the 355 irons as well

[@JAG1651]

The new Srixon Z565's will be released next month, so maybe testing the z565's would be even better?

[@netdemon01]

I see the Bombtech Grenade driver you still have sitting over there. Would love to see a mid-handicapper review from Rob Potter on that thing since Rick's swing wasn't working with the shaft.

[@NWP4440]

Great test. That feel is why I decided to save the money and just get the JPX EZ cast model. They both feel great, just not $100 difference to me. Maybe do a Dobby feel test between the forged and cast. See what he thinks. I love em, they are a great iron.

[@most_hat3d]

I still haven't found a better replacement for my mx25's with the exception for my yonex vmass 5 iron

[@NayTheHorsee]

I have the 2014 model of the ez worth upgrading to these? or something else better as they're both kinda aging im a 22 - 24 HC

[@rumsch]

Still love my MP-32... Probably the best there ever was. Don't know what to replace them with.

[@martynbr5]

I have just bought these irons after custom fit they are awesome clubs.

[@johnnypenso9574]

Darn it. I swore I was done buying equipment this year and these are on sale at SportChek here in Canada.

[@dsbgolf]

Your old reviews of these clubs help me select them as a used set. I plan to clean and refinish as best I can. Should end up with a like new set.

[@Chemari-zv7jy]

The new mizuno jpx900 forged looks awesome hopping September comes

[@Cornwall1888]

Cool now I'll get the 850's even cheaper, probably about £250

[@MrAshtute]

+Cornwall1888 nope..they wont go that cheap for 3 years

[@Cornwall1888]

Adam Flynn you can pick them up for close to that on eBay already then get them bent to your specs if required

[@MrAshtute]

+Cornwall1888 good luck with that..buying off fake bay and then getting the right shafts and bent to ur spec...no upcharge at mizuno fittings and the clubs will be guaranteed genuine

[@MrAshtute]

+Cornwall1888 also just checked fake bay and they are £350 for 5-pw new..so u must be looking at used so £350 plus a retro fit is still gonna be well over £400 for 5-pw...and ur gonna buy top class clubs and not get them fit?....i wouldnt but we are all different

[@Cornwall1888]

A well struck 7 irons doesn't run out 15 yards like the launch monitor is saying in my experience

[@Barkingtoad1]

Currently playing Nike vapor fly pro irons but now Nike are no longer in the golf game thinking of changing, would these be a good swap

[@scottharra5193]

+Rick Shiels Golf any chance Rob will be hitting the non-EZ version? The JPX 850 Forged? Love the videos. Keep up the good work.

[@legend9018]

Great vid boys. Had a similar experience with this set, the forged moniker gave me high expectations but the feel I was expecting did not match what happened at impact. Not to say it didn't perform well it just struck me more as a cast club.

[@clarkyesp888]

Hi Rick, now that nike have pulled out the golf equipment business do you think it will lower prices on other golf club brands?

[@brianstehno4776]

Can Rob test the mp-25? I think that would be a great club for him to try.

[@carolnugent7527]

Brian Stehno is

[@LeDoude]

I'd be curious to get you guys here in Japan and try out some of our local brands and models.

[@ChrisBrown-ze6dd]

Can you do a comparison between the mizuno mp-25 of the mizuno jpx's?

[@bfgolf]

main difference for me was the actual length of the head from heel to toe, 850 forged slightly longer which is good for me, I tend to hit towards the toe. other than that they are very similar

[@denzel5331]

Hey do the Bridgestone jdf 15 irons I would like to see what you think of them their similar to the vapor fly pro but forged

[@petermorrison2647]

Bridgestone have pulled out of the UK market, so I doubt he would be able to get them.

[@MRCRAZYSCOTTY]

I just bought a set of these, love them 😃

[@huphphh]

Looking forward to his test of the Callaway Apex CF16... Wow it's online now :-)

[@davidfletcher6836]

Swinging them well Robbo, do you find it easier to be confident with clubs you like the look of?

[@dark1382]

Don't we all?

[@andrewjones9467]

Hi, Rick. Just catching up on your latest vlogs after 2 weeks away. Always enjoy these vlogs. The phrase "say what you see" springs to mind. 👍👍 Any chance of Rob reviewing the AP1 716 irons?

[@RickShielsPGA]

+andrew jones kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3LdkoqQmN9kpLc Here you go

[@andrewjones9467]

Cheers Rick👍 👍

[@petermorrison2647]

+Rick Shiels Hopefully, you will get sent the JPX 900 irons at launch next month and get Rob to review those. Any chance do you think?

[@peterpearson929]

I played bio cells for 2 years. Got a great deal on these irons so I bought them. I love them but I've not been 1 to try or play a bunch of irons. My Cobras felt springy. These feel just rock solid build and soft off the face. I really love them. I hit the ping Iblade at dicks. Those were amazing too though. Love the vids Rick and Rob

[@jontymegginson8295]

really helpful, thanks rick

[@dynamicgaming9702]

dobby should make his own youtube channel. keep up the great work rick

[@simonjaeger3201]

I absolutely love these clubs. I shaved 10 strokes off my 20 handicap in 1 season

[@schwarg]

I hit these the other day, they're great. Awesome for the price too.

[@christopherwhitehead8946]

Callaway Apex and Apex pro ? Forged and cast? They would make a really good test for Dobbie.

[@fritoboat13]

Both lines of the Apex are Forged

[@christopherwhitehead8946]

+Robert Nava I'm sure there is a line of Apex irons which are cast.

[@fritoboat13]

+Christopher Whitehead Not according to Callaway. CF 16 and CF 16 Pro are both forged.

[@christopherwhitehead8946]

+Robert Nava I bow to your superior knowledge.

[@davebucks3806]

Another great review Rob

[@benkeogh7864]

IT would be cool if u did some reviews on lower end models like Wilson or Bridgestone etc

[@MegaGstout]

104 mph swing speed ! Very nice personal improvement Rob

[@myopenmind527]

Mizuno are about to launch the 900 series in Sept 16 with tour, forged and I th know ex forged models. Rob playing off 13 should be playing the JPX 850 forged.

[@mwillgo]

I have always loved the look of Mizuno irons but I don't have the game for forged irons. I always enjoy Rob's reviews. Keep up good work gents.

[@cwugrad396]

The JPX isn't going to be as soft as the MP line up so not surprised about the feel. Should really try and get Rob to hit the Srixon irons. The Z545 and the Z355. I would love to hear what he has to say about them

[@AAblade7]

The jpx ez (not forged) had a great feel to me. Ping G just felt a little better to me.

[@edmc4315]

I would like to see Rob hit the harder to hit long irons out of the set like the 4 iron great reviews though. Thanks, Ed

[@billkendall9110]

RIck, I would like Dobbie's take on the Taylormade M2 Tour irons please. Keep up the great work and reviews!!

[@lukechassereau8917]

Rick have him test the Srixon 545 or the 745 irons. I think that would produce a winner!

[@scottmorgns8778]

could you get Rob to do a review on the Callaway Apex Pro

[@RickShielsPGA]

+Scott Morgns coming today

[@philipbleasdale9055]

Great review Rob, review the MP25

[@dwightharris2522]

I have and love the EZ irons

[@stuartflin12]

I'm a 15 year old that plays off 11 but I am improving. What irons is recommended for me?

[@brodiemcfadden958]

I would say Ap1 titleist , callaway apex maybe

[@reefninja3236]

I'd say go to a fitter mate and you will generally get the best club for you 👍

[@mattkretzschmar4679]

Rick, please have Rob test the MP line (maybe the 25's).

[@brendos444]

Those have got to get into Rob's bag don't you reckon Rick? Distance identical to his XRs. But that increased spin will mean he'll hold more greens.

[@petermaxey8566]

they are beautiful, would like to try them

[@garysmith70]

I agree that the Boron has taken away the normal super soft feel of Mizuno..... Even though it`s a fantastic club I believe Mizuno should stick to what they do best and make super feeling irons.

[@cwugrad396]

I hit the previous JPX clubs when they first started using the boron and I felt they compromised on the feel for some extra distance so I went with something else at that time in the Mizuno line

[@ericbriggs7383]

I agree completely. After hitting some of the softer Mizuno MP's these new JPX's feel pretty clicky. I love that they keep more honest lofts and think Mizuno fans don't care much about added distance so Mizuno should just take it back to their traditional ways in the JPX line.

[@mikehunt9771]

Please do a srixon iron review

[@jecksjnr85]

Going to have to test mizunos. Love the look of them but to this day have still not hit 1 mizuno club.

[@OutcastFalcon89]

I game the 850 Forged and absolutely do not see myself ever leaving Mizuno clubs(Irons at least). Definitely go give them a hit.

[@jebbobo5517]

Their great I've got a set of Mizuno jpx ez forged and I love the sound the look and just the way they hit

[@TheMacdubhsithe]

try the mp-64

[@cwugrad396]

do it and you will not be disappointed

[@archiefinnie8927]

has the baby come? love this video keep it up

[@prex345]

I play these irons, compared to the cast clubs I've tried they are noticeably softer. It's a shame Mizuno has stopped making them.

[@CollinKossakoski]

Honestly i feel as the callaway apex have the best feel. But i did love the feel of my mizuno mp54. Callaway apex are the easiest club to hit i feel

[@dirtyjuansancheez]

You feel a lot!

[@youngmoney4496]

rob should test the I blades

[@twinkedits8095]

Is Rob after new irons???

[@andrewnelson616]

i think mizuno are quality and very under-rated

[@collingray8869]

Spin rate seems super low is that cause rob is testing the clubs sent to rick that have an x stiff shaft?

[@brfam1977]

I miss mini golfer. Wonder where he is now?

[@myopenmind527]

If Rob is looking to improve he should be looking to use the JPX 850 Forged from Mizuno.

[@Kristor333]

I'm an 8.4 handicap but I swear Robby would beat me consistently! My 7 is landing on the fringe at best!

[@crwing7307]

get Dobby on those iBlades already!!!!!

[@jasonbovalina5831]

NIKe. who are they, what are your thoughts on nike leaving the equipment manufacturing

[@LPSpooks]

I have these irons and I will never play any other irons...its just to pure of an iron. It reminds you of the new 2017 Porsche Panamera in that same exact color lol.

[@ZekeHessenberger]

I have those irons but not forged

[@nicktryon8539]

Is Rob happy to hear no more Nike clubs

[@jesseross3794]

How about letting Rob rate the club instead of you.

[@kingsfan334]

I feel like the 850 forged feels softer than this.

[@gabovoyergolf1510]

rob get thoes pants shorten pls

[@jackiechow860]

Only problem about these test is Rick only cares about distance

[@RickShielsPGA]

+Jackie Chow not really. Distance, direction, feel, sound, looks and much more

[@ronthibeau6888]

Nike is Irrelevant

[@alexstuart2245]

Rob still can't be a mid handicapper surely!

[@bladesnmore]

less talking more golf shots?

[@petermaxey8566]

they are beautiful, would like to try them
