Pollie017 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I’m going to test out the JPX 919 Forged this afternoon. A friend of mine owns an indoor Trackman facility and has the Tour, Forged, and Hot Metal. I won’t have to pay full retail. I’m not a consistent enough ball striker to hit the Tour irons. While I play to a 4.4 index, my iron striking has always been my Achilles heel. It has come a long way and I’m probably striking my irons the best I have ever, but still need forgiveness. I’m coming off of Rogue Pro’s with ModusPro 125 S shafts. I love the forgiveness of the RP, while still being able to get feedback. Im not crazy about the spin. They are already a higher spin club and I’m a higher spin player (steeper angle of attack). I’m not necessarily in the market for new irons, but my friend is offering me a pretty significant discount, so I figured I’d give them a whirl. What should I expect? Will these heads promote a lower launch and lower spin? The clubs he has has KBS Tour 120s. I may play around in the fitting cart to hammer down the shaft if I like the look and the feel of the head. Thanks in advance for any honest feedback. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy MGoBlue100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Lots of thoughts here. Heads launch pretty high, but it will vary by individual. Spin is lower, but it is expected with cavity back irons. MGoBlue100 and redleg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB13 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'd say the Rogue Pros are lower spinning than the Forged. I'd expect more spin, less, distance, and less forgiveness from the Forged but the May perform differently for your swing. Good Luck!

Sluggo42 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Saw a discussion over at another site that mizzie is going to introduce a new “pro” version of the hot metal in Feb. just one more thing to mull over... but the missies are on my short list for this year. Maybe some type of mixed set...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Ye poo. Reo told me about it in November, but didn't have one to show. According to him it's going to slot between the Forged and Tour but have the Chomoly material.

null Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 We discussed the Hot Metal Pro a good bit in the Mizuno 919 iron thread. It is going after the players distance category - trying to compete with P790, i500, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo42 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I’ve saved up my pennies and am ready to buy a new set. Was fairly convinced to get a split set of Forged/tour, but now this enters and so I’ll have to wait a few more weeks to see if it really comes out in feb. the players distance thing is addictive to me right now, and even though I really like my ap2’s, I can’t get the mizzy outta my head... I also like that they don’t upcharge for shafts or grips.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Got to hold them myself today...with security on it's toes not far away. Looks like the perfect blend between the Hot Metal and Forged. And as one of the reps there told me,they are the Hot Metal price, not the Forged so that's a great thing. It's the type of iron they said they could easily see a JPX Tour player even having in the 4 iron, with some loft adjustments. Looked really good!

I really wish the badging wasn't the fake spiral milling though. It looks a little tacky.

Do you feel like they are diluting the brand a bit by adding a 4th JPX line? It seems to me they had the space pretty well covered with the Tour, Forged, and Hot Metal.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think thats a valid question. But would be answered by saying I think it is an opportunity to give the player who wants slightly less GI features such as offset and Topline look of the HM but wants the increased ball speed from the face and construction of the Hot Metal. And let's not forget the HM price vs the Fieged. A way to get a bit more player profile look at a couple hundred less dollars.

This is how I look at it as well and what I'm really looking for in my irons that I'll do for my first iron fitting in the next month or so. Super excited for these and the g410 as they have a smaller profile than a normal GI iron.
