OFFICIAL FORUM MEMBER REVIEW - MIZUNO JPX 900 IRONS


JBones

Recommended Posts

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.

Yep, no doubt. Let alone lie angles... Being 6'5” it's IMPOSSIBLE to go to a place with a fitting cart and TRULY get fitted, or even have a selection to demo that “fits”. There was one OEM that did have an option with a +1” shaft and I hit lasers with it! That LITTLE bit of length makes a HUGE difference!

Oh yeah, I didn't even mention the lie angles, that was one reason i was about a month behind the others in getting started, I normally play 2 to 3 degrees up and the mizuno lies are flatter than normal specs.

The guy at the store mentioned this. He didn't know exactly how many degrees flatter, but it was obvious looking down at the “upright” fitting head that it was still “toe-down”.

I believe it is 2 degrees. So for me to get them back on to standsrd they would have had to bend them 2 and to ny minimal spec of 2 degrees up they would have had to go 4.

 

Since they are cast they said that wasn't possible. I asked them to get the 6 iron as close as they could to 63 or 64 degrees. As my Srixon 6 iron was 63.5 up from the 61.5 standard.

 

They came back unbroken and no note thaf they did otherwise. So in guessing based on my flight and looks next to the Srixon. They are pretty close.

This is interesting, I didn't know that.

 

During my fitting, the club fitter handed me +1/2" to try. It was odd to me because I don't consider myself taller than average at just 5'10". In the end, after hitting on the lie board I was spec'd to play 1* upright, and I find that I start my ball straighter than I used to.

That's cool, does it just track the ball or give ball info also?

 

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

 

It doesn't do ball data. It has a feature that tells you how far you hit it, and it'll put a tracker with numbers at the bottom that climbs as the ball travels, but to get it to work you need to walk where your ball landed while you have the "distance tracker" effect open.

 

So Cool!! And man did that shot sound and look crisp!!

It should work for all iOS devices. It's really fun to play with, but it's $7 so unless you video yourself often it's probably pretty useless. I only bought it for the purpose of the review and since MGS was kind enough to get me a set of new irons, I figure another $7 out of my pocket to help get my results put on paper, was something I would gladly do.

 

Time to get this Stage 2 testing wrapped up!

 

 

HAHAHAHAHA! Perfect movie quote. We need someone on the review named Charlie to give up his spot  :lol: I'm dying.

Is it the wrist widget making all the difference? I still haven't ordered mine.

Honestly two weeks ago I didn't know if I'd play again this season. Been wearing it for two weeks now and wore it when I played. Wrist has been feeling much better in the general and had absolutely no pain during my round today

My pain isn't as bad as yours probably is/was but I stopped farting around and ordered mine anyway. Will be here Tuesday.

What are you using for your wrist?

 

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Currently, athletic tape. They say the wrist widget is better than tape so I'll give it a shot.

For those not on Instagram. Final day testing of the JPX900 HOTMETAL was an on course shot by shot shootout against my new 718's AP1 and AP2 Combo. Some fun and interesting results.

Yeah, I've been having to edit mine a lot as well. Trying to be more concise, but don't want to leave anything out at the same time. This is why I never liked English class.

I'm trying to be very thorough with mine. I think there more information the better so long as it is informative and doesn't wonder off subject. I'm working to provide the information, but also trying to contextualize it with general information about equipment and ball flight fundamentals so readers can understand why certain things were happening

Your reviews are always good! What I like about the MGS review system is that, while there is a general format to follow, it still allows the reviewers to put their own stamp on their respective reviews
