I’ve been playing with Mizuno JPX 800 HD for more than 10 years. During the Beginning of the Pandemic when work was slow to none, I’ve been playing a lot of golf starting with 18 handicap to now 4.5. Just bought a used set 4-PW with stiff graphite and played about 3 rounds with them. First look was a bit intimidating but when you hit flush, man nothing feels like a mizuno!! Love my JPX 919 Tour.

@dabodzy5 жыл бұрын
Great video. I just purchased the JPX 919 hot metal irons. As someone coming back into the game due to injury, it was worth chasing forgiveness. The ease that I could hit these irons, with a very rusty swing, was amazing. What I didn't expect was that within just 2 weeks of using them and with one lesson with my local pro, my swing recovered and have more confidence than ever. I agreed with your evaluation, and the logic applies even for a high handicapper, hoping to get back to their old handicap.

I've gotta say, the tours and forged look fantastic. After seeing the results though, pretty tough to not seriously consider the hot metal irons even if you're a low to mid handicapper. Extra forgiveness and feel, faster ball speeds, increased spin, and comparable launch angle to the others. Seems like there's a lot to love there for a so called "game improvement iron" for a few hundred dollars less. Great video Rick!

Great combo review Rick! Really like having all 3 in just one easily digestible video. I’m a huge fan of Mizuno and they’ve done another great job on the 919 range. Technology/help combined with looks & great feel...what’s not to love? The JPX Tours are insanely good looking. I tested the 900 Tours (just for fun) and actually found them to be slightly less forgiving than even the MP-18 Blades.

I'm a high handicapper (picked up golf during covid and weekend warrior) with average shoot off of about 103 - i recently purchased the Tours after having Wilson V6's and i mostly hit these well. The forgiveness was good even for me and when you hit that sweet spot you get great feedback! So that being said, im not sure if the tours vs forged vs hotmetal makes that much of a difference but i havent used the others but thats just my experience.

Wish they’d make the lofts of the Forged the same as the Tour. I contemplated getting a mixed set when I bought my JPX 900 Tours, but I wanted standard lofts and the Forged fudges their lofts and has no 3 iron because of it. I’m fine with a complete set of Tours, but it would have been nice to have had the option of sticking a more cavity back Forged iron in my bag for the 3 and 4 iron.

I play last season version of the hotmetal. I've had blades until putting these in my bag and they have definately helped with my distance. The 919 here though look a lot more chunky than last season version 990. I also like the blue ribbon on my version as well. But as always Mizuno makes the best irons of all time --- many tour pros without contract (Brooks) play this brand.

Look fantastic. The previous JPX-900 range was great. I have the JPX-900 Hot Metals with SR graphite shafts - perfect. 23 degrees 5 iron is a bit aggressive but at least the 45 degrees PW is not offensive - can still manage with 3 other wedges. With TaylorMade and Callaway now you may need two Gap wedges.

Okay, very nice review, I'm going to add my two cents worth and I feel what I'm going to mention is very important. I'm a senior golfer, I've played this great game for the better part of fifty years. I'm a member of a very nice golf club in British Columbia and I play off a nine handicap. About a year ago I spent some excellent time with a professional golf fitter at GolfTec. I wanted new irons but I wanted the best of the best fitted for me and only me.I had already decided that I would go with Mizuno so now we had to decide on which model. My fitter's biggest concern was not as much the model as to the correct shaft and how right he was. Of course the head design / material etc. is important but matching those elements to the best properly fitted shaft is of primary importance. The shaft we came up with was the UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 the two irons that we tested was the JPX forged and the JPX " Hot Metal ". I hit about fifty balls with each iron both fitted with the above mentioned shaft and I honestly couldn't distinguish one from the other.In any event we felt the Hot Metal model would be a bit more forgiving and that's what I went with ( 5 iron to gap wedge ). I put them into play in March ,,, they are in all my years the best feeling iron I have ever played ,,, absolutely solid. Easily a good club longer than my Ping i3's, any of you out there contemplating new irons for the 2019 season the Mizuno irons are as good as it gets but remember how all important a good quality shaft is.
