OFFICIAL FORUM MEMBER REVIEW - MIZUNO JPX 900 IRONS


JBones

Recommended Posts

I don't think Koepka wants to sign unless Mizuno offers him a more than his Nike equipment contract is paying him. So long as Koepka doesn't sign with anyone else, Nike has to pay out the remainder of his contract. The moment he signs with someone else the Nike equipment contract voids

It's great for both sides. Koepka doesn't have to be tied to anyone, still gets paid, and Mizuno can still say their irons are so good the dual US Open champ plays them because they work.

I didn't realise he was still being paid by Nike, makes a lot more sense now.

I took some time to re-read these reviews this morning. Great stuff! Other than Rob, since we know what he was/is playing, are the rest of you still gaming these? What is the usual time frame for Stage 3 on an iron review?

There aren't any any official stage 3 reviews any more. I like to stop in and post updates occasionally.

 

For me, the 900 Tours are firmly in the bag to the point where I don't even bat an eye at other iron releases.

 

A combo set of MP18 SC and MB intrigues me, but beyond that I've never been considered changing irons

Same for me, a set of MP-18 SC with possibly a 4i in MMC is the only thing I'd consider over the 900 Tours.

Here is what I have to add.

I went for a “Club Champion” full bag fitting with the high hopes of the JPX 900 irons being “the ones”.

Sure enough, they were the best, in terms of FEEL, looks, distance and dispersion.

I am about 1 1/2 to 2 clubs longer and even more importantly to me, the turf interaction is fantastic.

I too do not pay any attention to new club releases because I could not be happier with what is in my bag.

Oh, I'm bombing drives with my new Cobra F8 Plus/Raijen Shaft too.

Shot my lowest round in quite a few years last weekend.

Love this forum too, you guys are great with responses and feedback.

I ended up with the Forged. I know the lofts are jacked but I can use the extra distance, plus I am hitting them high enough for the descent angle to hold greens.

If they fit your game and allow you to play the way you want want then who cares what number is stamped on the bottom or what the lofts are!

 

Glad to hear that you found a set that's working for you

I wish I could get these in lefty. I've had MP-53's since 2010 and never looked back. Love Mizuno. I recently played a tournament and got significant damage to my 4 iron from a rock in the ground and a ding on the 7iron so I will be replacing them next year.

You can get them in lefty, just head down to your nearest Mizuno fitter and go nuts!

Yes I moved on. But as everyone knows, I told the irons, "it's not you, it's me".

 

Had I known I was going to TXG for a fitting this month, I think I would have held onfo them to use as my current set for Ian to fit against. I know he's very high on the entire JPX line and especially the Hot Metals for higher handicaps.

 

Yeah, Jlukes mentioned the stage 3's have been dropped. I believe but you would know better than me if you just reread the thread, that I dropped a few final comments about them over the winter.

I see you got the P790s, I have to admit that if they had been out when I was looking for irons my Mizunos may have been still on the shelf :blush:

Didn't have my best ballstriking day with the 900 Tours on Wednesday but it just reaffirmed why I love these irons so much - the predictable miss.

 

Shots toward the toe or a little on the face still flew well and only lost a little yardage. No crazy jumpers.

 

Just love having a modern looking players cavity iron.

Has he won more majors than regular tour events? The guy is clutch.

I know and a friend of mine who's a good instructor said earlier this week. "I'd like to see him win setting other than a US Open."

 

Are you kidding. So I texted him tonight asking if that was enough to be impressed.

You're the “Brooks Koepka” of MGS! You're down to a 1.something handicap after getting your irons on here, and Brooks gets his and wins 3 majors... Just hit the gym and bulk up, and I'll start calling you “Brooksey”!!!!!

I remember when I first saw Mizuno irons--it was a long time ago, although I can't remember exactly when.

 

They were always impressive looking, and then Faldo pushed them over the top big time.

 

A lot of guys seem to adjust them upright, but for me, they're irons that don't need to be adjusted flat.

 

Also, a 2005 (I think) Mizuno Fli Hi knocked a vintage Wilson 1200GE 1-iron out of my bag as my driving iron.

 

Anyway, those JPX 900 Tours look like yet another worthy successor to the tradition, more like MP clubs than previous JPXs,  and I've never seen a bad review on them.

The article on the 919 tours mentioned a new finish that will wear better than the finish on the 900s.

 

I took some pictures of my 900s to show why Mizuno might have been unhappy with the finish. It's barely noticeable up close, but a perfectionist company like Mizuno probably wanted to improve on it.

I would throw these into the legion of legendary iron status. Among the following I think it's fair to say that the JPX 900 Tours who were selected by former Nike guys and off-contract golfers as their iron of choice are as good as anything ever made.

 

Maybe I'm a little nuts but I would absolutely throw these in the likes of:

 

PING Eye 2

MP 14/29

Tommy Armour 845

Titleist 962B

Callaway Big Bertha

They really have been a "Major" boost for Mizuno 😁. But in all seriousness, I love my JPX 900 Hot Metals but I do wish I had gone for the Forged. Oh well there might be testing coming up soon 🤔😁😎
