MIZUNO JPX921 FORGED

◆ Availability 4-GW ◆ STOCK SHAFTS Nippon Modus 120/105 ◆ 7-IRON LOFT 31° ◆ FORGIVENESS RATING 3

When your whole business is built on the success of forged irons and your craftsmen have been forging clubs for 115 years, you push at boundaries others dare not touch – and that’s Mizuno’s thinking with the JPX921 Forged. Taking chromoly steel (well known for being springy and lively) and stamping it into a mass-market forged iron was a challenge Mizuno happily accepted. And their experts now think forged chromoly steel has a very bright future. The JPX921 Forged offers a brilliant blend of narrow top edges that lots of reasonable players like, along with a forgiving undercut cavity. Mizuno say they suit 10-14 handicappers brilliantly, and we’d agree. Lots of golfers find themselves choosing between these and Mizuno’s hollow body MP-20 HMB. Our data has the 1° stronger (7-iron) Forged adding 1mph of ball speed and two yards of carry over the HMB. Just remember the face in both irons is chromoly steel, and if you’re stuck between the Forged and the JPX921 Tour, our data suggests you’ll give up 8 yards of 7-iron carry by not going for the Forged.
