For the first time in its existence, Mizuno has released a three-tier family of irons under the JPX name. The JPX900 models – Tour, Forged and Hot Metal – provide a connection across all skill levels to enable casual golfers to play with materials available to the company’s tour players.

Each iron series utilizes a different metal composition, marrying it with the company’s current technology to deliver distance, control and forgiveness.

 “The JPX900 family of irons represents an exciting new chapter in Mizuno’s history,” said Ryan Ellis, the company’s associate brand manager for golf. “We have always been committed to improving what we do each year, and the JPX900 family enables each player to find the best clubs to fit their style of play – from the weekend golfer to the grind-it-out gamer who squeezes nine holes in after work.”

Here’s a brief breakdown:

JPX900 TOUR

The best attributes of Mizuno’s grain flow forged player’s irons and advanced weighting techniques are incorporated into this model. The 900 Tour series uses 1025E mild carbon steel to deliver a soft, solid and consistent feel from all conditions. The power frame design also pushes more mass to the corners of the clubhead to help maintain ball speed on off-center hits.

JPX900 FORGED

These clubs were designed on the foundation of the JPX850 Forged, using Boron steel that enhances feel and boosts distance. Infusing Boron during the forging process creates material that is 30 percent stronger than existing 1025 steel, allowing Mizuno to create a new multi-thickness face and making the JPX900 Forged the thinnest forged face Mizuno has made. A reshaped pocket cavity expands the sweet spot of the club for higher ball speeds across the face.

JPX900 HOT METAL

This model was manufactured with the thinnest clubface in Mizuno history. Utilizing Chromoly 4140M, the series was designed like a metal wood, adding thickness by using offset geometry and employing discretionary weight to optimize performance. The cup face design delivers a larger COR area, and mass is pushed to the extreme corners of the club to offer stability and forgiveness.

“By combining cutting-edge technology with our desire to produce the best clubs in the industry,” Ellis said, “we have assembled a family of clubs that will connect with players of any skill level.”
