OFFICIAL FORUM MEMBER REVIEW - MIZUNO JPX 900 IRONS


JBones

Recommended Posts

Just an update on the latest outing with these. 

 

9 holes on course testing with these and the new Bridgestone X ball and SC200 to collect some data.   I'll save a lot of the hard numbers for stage 2 (which is coming soon, we promise!!) but the clubs felt really good, and after a less than perfect ball striking round at TPC with my gamer set, it was nice to see these perform so well.   I continue to be impressed by the feel for the Non Forged version of this family, I guess it's like being the Red Headed step child, everyone loves the blue eyed, blond haired (forged) kids but the step child Red Head is like, oh and there's him too....LOL

 

Well. Forget everything I wrote here

Just chalk it up to the day to day ability changes of a 17 HC...   Thursday I couldn't miss a shot to save my life, Friday I couldn't hit a shot if my life depended on it.....LOL  totally the Indian and not the arrow, just frustrating.

Just curious, when are the Stage 2s going to be posted? Seems like it's been awhile since anything has shown-up here.

I think most of them are ready or close to ready to go up. Just waiting on some final words from the MOD staff.

 

If there is anything specific you want to know, I'd be happy to answer if I can. I've tried to update a bit here and there on different thoughts after some rounds in advance of my stage two.

 

But I know as a forum member. I always enjoy getting the full in detail run down that the stage twos bring.

 

I'm confident all of ours will be filled with good feedback

Getting my face bit sidelined me for a month, so a lot of the stuff I wanted to try to do like gap testing and such, didn't get done. I'm going to get another round in Saturday, then I'll be ready to pour it all out on the paper for everyone to read.

I know I said I was going to have my stage 2 up this week, but it's going to be a little while longer. I sprained my wrist (it's no bit face) and haven't swung a club in almost a month. Hoping that in a week or two I'll be good to go and I'll be able to put the finishing touches on my review!

Heal up there buddy.

 

I tried to get some LM numbers on Saturday head to head with my 718. But the SC200 decided to act funky. So I'll try again one day this week.

It absolutely sucks. Wrist is at least feeling better for normal usage and I can actually grip a club without pain now, but I took some light swings today and it still can't hold up to the transition from back swing to down swing.

I'm imagining that scene from Mighty Ducks where that Emilio Estevez makes the kid hold the hockey stick and then turn it, and then drops it because he can't rotate his wrist and everyone does the FeelsBadMan face. Get well soon brother!

The worst part about the reviews is the waiting period for the next stage to be up. I enjoy reading what everyone thinks about the clubs compared to what they have been using.

Any chance the mods can get the Stages “linked” so when we come to the first page we can just “tap” on Stage 2 instead of having to scroll?

Hi, im new here and just got fitted for the 900 forged and wanted to read the reviews but this is very difficult to figure out what is what with this format. I can't find the review for the 900 forged.

The first page will have the people who are in the review and after the first post there are different stages. Stage 1 is the opening of the box and first impressions and stage 2 are as you go. Each person does their own.

Ha. I'm sure he appreciates it. He has played them for a while before the injury. But he has a bit more testing to do within the next week or so.

 

But fire away with any questions you might have. I know he'll be happy to answer them.

15-shot improvement? That's really amazing. How long did it take you to bring your scores down?

It took about a month to see the big improvements, I just feel so confident with these clubs. I used to be on single figures and had lost my way, but i'm back to my old form.

That's great to hear. Congrats on the improvement, and lower scores are fun aren't they.

 

I'll have obviously more detail in the final stages coming very soon, but I feel i owe it to the forum to at least add a comment or two about scoring. 

 

I haven't seen the dramatic drop in handicap that you have. .  But I can say at the beginning of the testing, I was a 19.7, as of Nov 1st I am 17.9.   The only other change in my bag during that time was driver, but there was only a minor increase in yardage I picked up in the performance of the current driver 917D3 that I started the year with vs the Srixon 565 that I played most of the summer,. 

 

The JPX900 Hot Metal irons have been very solid.  As many know, I just got a set of Titliest 718 combo AP1/AP2 that I have only had a couple rounds in with, but have compared on the range to the JPX,   The 4-7 end of the bag is where the are similar, and so far the performance has been very similar in both.   Will have some actual data of the two to go into the final stage.

Got done with work early in Tulsa today, and American Airlines wanted to charge me $400 to fly a day early, so I went to the local Golf Galaxy and hit a bunch of irons on the monitor. Tried the 900 Tours and couldn't get a good feel for them. Lots of “left”. Club FELT nice though!

I went to a local course that had some fitting carts and a range, so I built a few clubs and went to hit a bucket. Tried the Tours and Forged this time. Again, not a good fit.

I will say this, though: as usual, the fitting carts only had clubs that were +1/2”, so everything was a minimum of 1/2” short for me.

The Tours are SO pretty!

Plus I'm pretty sure in this, but I believe Mizuno I'd 1/4 shorter than most OEM standard. So if you were hitting a 1/2 over Mizuno, you likely were really hitting a 1/4 over the standard from most OEM. Which in reality could be 3/4 to 1 1/4 inxh from what you are used to.
