MIZUNO

JPX 900 HOT METAL

PRICE RRP AED 2,975 (Sold as 4-PW)

VERDICT For a number of years Mizuno has fought the perception that its irons sacrificed distance in favor of a look and feel that appealed to betterthan-average players. Its 2017 line addresses that concern and makes a strong case that it has the power to go along with the good looks. The JPX 900 features a steel alloy in a single-piece casting to produce the thinnest face ever on a Mizuno iron at two millimeters (slightly more than the thickness of a nickel). The result is an iron that can produce ball speeds normally seen in irons with cupface, soleslot or face-insert designs.

COMMENTS (L) Pierced through the air like a fighter jet at the right altitude. (H) You can feel the sole work for you. Didn’t chunk any despite some poor swings.
