NEW MIZUNO JPX900 HOT METAL, FORGED & TOUR IRONS REVIEW

[@Cornwall1888]

The finish on these irons is the nicest I've ever seen

[@RickShielsPGA]

I'd 100% agree

[@fritoboat13]

I love the 900 Tour with the KBS C Taper lite, the shaft has the same brushed look. IN-CRED-IBLE!

[@ericbriggs7383]

This is THE most excited I've ever seen Rick get about a set of irons. As a huge mizuno fan myself this pleases me lol. Game 'em Rick! You know you want to

[@ChrisHaggarty]

Great review. Just picked up my set of the JPX 900 Forged irons c/w the KBS C Taper Lite Stiff shafts this afternoon. Can't wait to get them out on the course this weekend (U.K. Weather permitting !!!)

[@stefanrhonnstad4014]

Got my JPX 900 HM with PX LZ graphite two weeks ago. After strugling with getting the distances right (hit too long and many times over the green) I'm dialed in now and start hitting greens again! Last round 83%....best ever! These irons are AMAZING!

[@WLLoo]

Hey Rick, I believe the reason why the Forged goes further than the Hot Metal for you is because the Hot Metal is designed to give the player with lower swing speeds more height, and more length. Hence when you hit the Hot Metal with so much ball speed, the ball will spin too much, giving too much backspin, which leads to a shorter distance. Cheers, and I really enjoyed this 'preview' of your actual review!

[@glumbum6]

Yeah, the CG is pulled so much further back that, despite being the same loft, the hot metal flies much higher, spins much more than the forged. Seems to actually make the hot metal a much more playable club for both types of players--faster swing speeds will enjoy the extra spin that they don't usually get from "distance" irons, and slower speeds will enjoy the penetrating flight, which will add yards to their shots.

[@francoisdesmoulins-lebeaul4273]

The results of the new swing start to show very nicely, Rick. You're so much more in line it's untrue! Keep on the good work with Dan and the Quest will become that much easier!

[@andytitcomb9463]

My BMX mongoose 1982 (bike)was "Chromoly " ... Loved the bike would buy these in a heartbeat

[@petermeaney7424]

Yesterday I took delivery of a 5-PW set of hot metals with the xp95 shaft and I had 25 balls at the range with them and they seem fantastic, can't wait for the weekend and to get to try them out on the course.

[@3rdgroove]

10:28 Rickgasm LOL #nothingfeelslikeamizuno

[@RickShielsPGA]

HAHA! I had to take a cold shower!

[@domn7038]

Rick I had this same reaction every time I hit these irons yesterday at a fitting haha. Went ahead and bought them - and when you said they look 'unfinished' it made me think they look almost 'prototype-like' they just look so simple yet refined. I just couldn't stop the urge to keep hitting them XD.

[@jonb2437]

Rick- how was the feel compared to PXG?

[@afrankiuk78]

Oh God, it felt good!

[@tomchisholm5869]

Benny Frank the 3rd c

[@t.j.hodnett9658]

so thanks to you Rick.... my JPX 900 Forged irons are on their way. Took me quite some time to decide, but your reviews with my testing data helped make the decision. As always, thanks for your awesome reviews!!!

[@MrBaltch]

Rick would love a video where you describe why you switched from the Ben Hogan's to the Pings, what was your thinking etc, and if you're coveting any other irons. Great video!

[@codered1127]

+Rick shields. Think you should show the swing speed with the dots in your clubs. Because you might be swinging the tour a few mph more. It does make a noticeable difference no? At least when you test them separate. And for the top few clubs you test I think the way you tested the taylormade psi tour was the best review I have seen on KZbin.

[@fgnerogewnjfh5467]

each and every one of the new irons are incredible. I work in a golf retail store and the rep came into us a few weeks ago, so i got the chance to hit them. Even the cast iron (hot metal) feels softer then most cast irons. The forged in my opinion is not their best they've made but they are still a great iron for a 15 handicapper (good ball striker) of lower. But my god that tour version is fucking amazing. feel, sound looks everything it is just a beautiful iron. If i were Rick i would seriously consider putting them in the bag. The thing is the reason the distance is not lost is that mizuno are making the faces of the irons thinner therefore the ball speed increases and therefore distance increase.

[@joedorgan6136]

Was looking for a new set but wanted a bit more durability so was gonna plum for the i blade but after seeing these i just dont know now ? Do you think that the forged are a soft forged the type that marks easy or are they a little bit tougher with the addition of boron?

[@locsmiths]

Great overview! I was looking for a good excuse to replace my 825 pros. I think I may go with the un-forged this time around. It looked like you weren't swinging the hot metals as fast as the other two. I look forward to the individual reviews.

[@Chemari-zv7jy]

Hey Rick , I have the mp-25 iron set and they perform really well , is the new jpx900 tour much better in looks , feel ,etc ? I am hesitating to buy them

[@bertfukuda559]

Thanks for the review. Ordered the 900F with Recoil F4. Can't wait!!! Surprised that the hot metal gave you the least carry for the loft of the club.

[@matthewchittenden3099]

Just upgraded my cobra flyz plus for the jpx900 forged. Absolutely amazing.

[@danadams06]

I purchased a set of the Hot Metal JPX900 last week. First new clubs in 15 years and they just feel amazing. First round with them was my best of the year by 4 shots.

[@wictorhultberg3701]

nice, what hcp did u had when u bought those?

[@station2station544]

Wow. What a good lineup. I have a set of the Tours on order with the Project X LZ shafts. I play MP5 now.and had to order these after only hitting fitting cart 6i indoors. I've been waiting for your review to see if I should keep the order active or possibly cancel it. (kind of using you as a voice of reason). I think I'll let the order ride!!! Excited.

[@HAMBLURGLUR]

Post a comparison of the Tours vs. your Ben Hogans, I'd love to see the results.

[@charliepritt8230]

I love the JPX 850, I own the cast set and those new irons just look exponentially better! Great review Rick! Good luck if you game these!

[@JT-ic9mp]

Rick, any chance the tour model they sent you is actually stronger lofted than stated? Do you have a way to check?

[@disk_35]

I would be a little concerned from lack of spin with the tour but that might be fixed with a shaft fitting. Swing looks amazing by the way Rick! I think this is the first video I've seen where it truly looks like a new swing, not many bad elements of old swing left.

[@TherymasterWidnes]

Rick, whats the better feel, tour 900 or MP-5's?

[@matthiusx9811]

I was the first person in England to get the mizuno jpx 900 tours and I can honestly say they feel amazing to hit and took me no time to get used to them, I know there quite pricy but there definitely worth it

[@robgom777]

Welcome to the MIZUNO club! Going to be hard putting aside my MP-64....but...JPX900 Tour......Yes Please!!

[@blue_mountains28]

Thanks Rick... These are so nice!!! any plans to compare the 900 forged to the JPX EZ forged? I have the version 1 JPX EZ forged and am due a upgrade and testing the 900 forged against the EZ forged is on the 'to try list' would love you opinion.

[@donnywilcox4247]

last time you were this excited about an iron if I am correct was when the ft.worths came out ....would you agree rick

[@sebastiansandin7182]

I have the jpx850 forged and I love them so I don't think I'll be changing anytime soon

[@ashm5809]

I tested these irons and ended up buying the JPX850 forged. For me, they performed a lot better and I think look nicer too. Stick with the JPX 850 forged mate!

[@darrengeddes6166]

Rick, how do they compare to the ping iblades in feel and looks?

[@alexandra3730]

Hey Rick, are those the correct launch angles for a 7 iron? I went and did testing and found out that I was launching the 7 iron at 30 degrees, that is way to high huh? Do you know how much distance I would lose launching it that high? Also would a stiff shaft help keep a lower ball flight? Thanks Greg Kaludis

[@andrewjones9467]

Great looking irons, Rick. Are you puting the Tour model in your bag? 💕💕

[@rpcrev]

Thanks Rick. Be good to see Rob's numbers on these. They do look great.

[@dclemans13]

If you do a review of the tour specifically, put some HMT dots on the face for some club head data please. Might help understand the lack of variation in the spin and distance numbers between the sets. Cheers!

[@SpeedieGT5]

Hey Rick, currently I'm playing for a year golf, now at handicap 38 but dropped 10 since the last 2 weeks. This weekend I'll be having my first clubfitting. Which do you recommend? I'm really looking for the mizuno's but not sure if I'm skilled enough. The problem is, I know the theory, now just lots and lots of practice. I would love to hear your advice. Greets Ronald

[@drm-]

The spin numbers seem low for a 7 iron. Would love to see a comparison between these and your Hogans. Maybe simulate a par 3 or approach shot to see which could hold a green better?

[@mcarter0519]

I seem to remember that you went on an on about the Hogan irons like you are about the JPX 900 Tour. Would you say you like these better? How about a comparison test?

[@tomduckworth8335]

Rick I hope you will review the new Wilson FG Tour V6 irons they look great. I don't think I have ever seen you review Wilson equipment.

[@daverenfro8536]

Chromoly refers to steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum, manganese, and other things. The 4140 stamped on the clubs tells more about the quantity of those alloys as well as the carbon content. 4140 is a strong steel which I would think would be hrd to adjust for loft and lie, depending on how it is heat-treated, but I'm sure Mizuno has all that figured out.

[@BB-vj9tz]

Can you talk about shaft flex? What is happening if too stiff or too flexible. Thx

[@Robert.Dickson]

Loved your enthusiasm for these clubs.

[@alandlc6031]

thank you!!!!!!!!! i was for you to do a review on these bad boys, you are one of the few equipment reviewers i like. thanks!

[@alandlc6031]

in the bag??? lol

[@RickShielsPGA]

I had to wait for them to arrive

[@starshine2190]

Hi Rick, can you compare these to the MP5? Thanks!

[@markrogina7558]

Could a 14hcp game the JPX 900 Forged, our would you recommend the Hot Metal Rick.

[@atwillenjoyment9107]

Hey Rick, this reminds me that we haven't seen you do that point challenge thing in ages (where you move through your clubs and get 1, 3, or 5 points). When are you going to put the new swing to the test with that?

[@TheBENnny10]

Good to see some more reviews. Keep it up Rick!!

[@2009ericwong]

I bought the hot metal set a month N played a few rounds w it. OMG...i average hit 15 yards more n straighter w less or similar effort. It competely threw me off guard of my iron yardage in a good way. I'm a mid 80's player...avg.140 yd w 7 iron. I Once hitted 190+ with the 5 iron...onto the green. It's amazingly forgiving N powerful. Last but not least...it looks So damn good. I have T zoid, MP...this gen JPX is the best. Looking forward to the next gen 919. Strongly recommend the hot metal If u r 80-90's player.

[@andysullivan6373]

bought the forged on day of release used them first time today and love them feel amazing

[@markwisniewski8141]

How much better could the 900 forged feel over the 850 forged? Looks like the same club but with a different badge. Right?

[@joedorgan6136]

Rick any chance you could do an i blade v the forged , if love to see the numbers

[@danwilkesify]

Is the tour edition going in the bag Rick?

[@ggkk6474]

I was using the JPX 850 forged and now playing the JPX 900 hot metal for 3 rounds of golf so far....results with the 900's were better forgiveness , at least 5 yds. farther , a soft feel ,and a great looking club....awesome clubs.

[@acamartin]

Rick what about the long of the shaft ? on the last take the clubs look a little diferent from each other....

[@twn0be8]

Hi Rick, What about testing the new Srixon 765 Irons

[@benzielke4443]

Purchased a set of Mizuno JPX900 because of this ad... LOVE EM, they feel great !

[@wictorhultberg3701]

which ones? hot metal?

[@tenajnin]

The tour irons looks beautiful. Only thing that concerns me is the low spin numbers, I like my 7 iron to sit around the high 6000s. But maybe that's where the extra distance is coming from?

[@drew2nice83]

Great review. Not sure about the forged version anymore. I guess the fitter could always weaken the loft, but the height and spin might perform poorly. Love the top line though it looks as thin or thinner than the mp25 or Ap2 I tried.

[@drew2nice83]

I wouldn't mind u stacking the ping iblades with the Tours.

[@andymorgan7640]

Great review Rick I tried these at london golf show they are sweet, JPX 900 tour! So so sweet.I am conflicted now as I would usually go for MP range?⚖️

[@JonMcG]

Rick , I have the JPX EZ Forged Boron ( Last years Irons ) Are these worth upgrading to ? Is there a significant difference between the two ?

[@JonMcG]

Just an update ....... Thanks for responding , I decided to go ahead with the upgrade and I'm now the proud owner of the JPX900 Tours . I swear if i cant hit the dam things this Saturday , its Your head !

[@jobmayer9307]

do Iblade vs jpx900 tour and then chose what goes in the bag

[@jwbeekmans]

Finally the JPX900 review!!

[@baddaddyfish2271]

hey rick can u review jpx 850 and 900 since they're the same line ?

[@petermeaney7424]

Had test with them 2 days ago and ended up ordering a fitted set of hot metals, hopefully I have found a set of irons I can finally hit consistently and cease to a 10 handicap golfer who uses hybrids for everything up to a 7 iron!

[@denaeraewyn]

Great review. I think I might have to upgrade this winter.

[@Alabaster245]

Cool Clubs. Mizuno always makes great equipment. Can't go wrong.

[@mwillgo]

The look and feel you describe makes me think "Satiny". I have always thought Mizuno made some of the most beautiful irons in golf. I'm excited by the Hot Metal version.

[@danielharman4437]

Love your videos rick. Keep up the good work!!!

[@eddalejr]

I want the tour's bad!!!! Don't know if they will replace my Srixon 745's though.

[@PizzaStew]

Hi Rick, Since you like the tour, have Miura send you the CB-301. Cheers!

[@fofeba2rar940]

Love the Forged. JPX 900 driver vs M1 please.

[@joelvanderpol5532]

Rick, Would love to see you get some reviews on Bridgestone equipment.

[@xBreexZe]

when are the srixon 965 range coming

[@wodenoftheangles3339]

Michael Newton has reviews live tonight..

[@craigwall775]

How do they compare to the MP25?

[@Robbie2318]

I think these are perfect to create a combo set, I miss my MP52's so I think I might have to treat myself.

[@dogankeskinkilic6070]

Nothing Like Mizuno.I love them,I have the Mp25 Forged set,nothing feels like.Grate clubs.

[@jobmayer9307]

also were those golfpride grips standard?

[@keithn1]

I believe with the jpx 900 range you have a choice of 12 grips and 12 shafts with no up charge

[@pJ8872]

You should compare the Jpx 900 tour to the ping iblade iron due to the looks and the performance

[@thomassurgenor8255]

Id like to see rob hitting the tours. I'm a few shots lower than him and have been mauling them over since the press release last month. So badly want them to work for me but scared they are maybe too small.

[@FUZexHITMANx11]

Rick, so are the tour JPX 900's in the bag now? :)

[@1b0o0]

Hi Rick, are your swing changes taking down the RPM? Shouldn't you be getting around 7,000RPM with a 34° 7?

[@CMBelite-FR]

I don't think so, the launch angle is high so i don' tthink he is delofting that much, I think its how these irons have been designed that makes them low spinning

[@1b0o0]

CMBelite-FR what bothers me is that Rick consistently produced around 7,000RPM with other 7 irons, prior to his swing change. This new swing is better, looks more under control but I don't know if this numbers are because of the iron or the swing.

[@CMBelite-FR]

Alvaro Ybañez He never produced 7000 RPM withj a 7i with Golf improvement iron sets. Could also be the ball, was it a prenium ball. I can get over 1000 RPM difference with a titleist DT solo and Prov1X

[@1b0o0]

CMBelite-FR I'm talking about the Tour one. He produce 5,600 RPM. Balls are always (or almost always) ProV1's.

[@CMBelite-FR]

Alvaro Ybañez Yeah but it doesn't look like a true blade iron, maybe his swing speed has slowed down aswell => less spin. With the apex pro 2014 iron, I get 5800-6300 spin with the 6i : ball speed : 136-138 mph, launche angle : 19°, attack angle : -1° ( avg) and 174m carry ( normalized data). you can see that i have quite a perfect low spin for a 6i considering the ball speed, so his spin looks okay with a 122 mph ball speed.

[@jrfan8828]

I've only made through the first two clubs so far and wow those sound awesome

[@tonyrock7165]

Never, have I ever heard you go absolutely nuts over a club before ever! Being impressed that much Rick, I wonder if it will end up in your bag??? Maybe if you get a different shaft in the Tour, your spin rate might improve?

[@cace81]

Rick was down right giddy! I hit these the other day and I 100% agree on all accounts. Sexy looking iron and they feel absolutely amazing.

[@myopenmind527]

Beautiful clubs surprised the hot met and tour appear to perform almost the same. Not sure what the forged 900 offers. Looking forward to the detailed analysis.

[@kenattaway721]

Good review...Mizuno should be quite happy...I have an old, trusty, Mizuno 5 iron...maybe its time I got a new one...

[@sc4rrto]

Chromoly is the type of steel, boss. Strong and malleable but not at light as aluminum. And say it like "Chrome Molly" . You're making me want to switch my Cleveland TA3's now to these beautiful little sticks!

[@fritoboat13]

Great stuff Rick.

[@Newmyyy]

kick the pings out and put the tours in the bag rick! we all know you want to! also, if you can review the Fourteen FH1000, that would be awesome. I have them and they blew my 716 CB's away in terms of feel

[@Dantemojares]

Definitely one of my favorite moments from rick 9:18

[@ericbriggs7383]

haha I like his reaction at 10:26 !!! Never heard him so enthusiastic about feel before. This video is quite the endorsement for "Nothing feels like a Mizuno"

[@dylantimmerman2565]

how do you get all these new clubs so fast ?

[@micaiahgerber3026]

which color is your favorite rick?

[@Herman-gl9gu]

Keep up the good work buddy. Volume is a bit low though.

[@johnuren1217]

JPX Vs the new srixon range please Rick??

[@veterinaren]

I expect a mid-hcp review of these as well. And maybe a round with the hot metal (Rob), vs forged (Pete), vs tour (Rick)

[@iancameron2634]

I just got the jpx tour irons. They are godly.

[@rhettcoleman7734]

I got my handicap down to around 15 with some old nike irons with senior flex shafts, then my dad bought me the hot metals and it changed my iron game entirely. Almost a 70’s guy now, 10/10 #nothingfeelslikeamizuno

[@zandersteiner1060]

They are the best clubs I've seen to, love your vids Rick ⛳👏

[@Petdrolitos]

your golf swing is looking good rick

[@MrRobVision]

great video rick!
