MIZUNO JPX900

-

golf.mizunoeuro­pe.com Lofts: 7.5°-11.5° Stock shaft: Fujikura Speeder Evolution 2 (all custom fit shafts available at no extra cost) Adjustable hosel: Yes How much loft change: 8 settings from 7.5°- 11.5°

TECH:

Two 8g weights in the sole can be split between either a central track to lower or increase launch angle and spin, or positioned in toe or heel slots to create a draw or fade bias.

WE SAY:

The JPX900 is by some way the best driver Mizuno has ever made. Yes, it has so many different settings you’ll need a physics degree to set it up correctly (and if you don’t, we saw the potential to lose 18 yards of carry). But for those wanting to take the time with a fitter to dial in their perfect set up, the JPX900 is seriously good. We can’t say it delivered any of the quickest ball speeds or longest carries, but our test pro found that using the JPX’S sole weights in both the draw and fade bias slots he effectivel­y created a toe and heel weighted driver which was very efficient at protecting ball speeds.

VERDICT:

The “face angle prop” lets you set up how your driver sits, and is really useful if you’re very particular about how your driver looks at address.
