Excellent tutorial on the Mizuno line up. They have all the bases covered for all the players out there. With so many options you have to hit all of them to get the correct choice. I recently switched to the Srixon ZX5 and really enjoying so far. the stronger lofts took a little bit to get used to.

@roncarlton1882 Год назад
I recently visited a PGA store and tested the ZX5. I hit them well but they were loud on contact. I had also tested the MizunoPro 225’s, JPX923 HL, 223 Pro’s, and the 223 Hot metal. The Mizuno’s were all good but I hit the Mizuno 223 Pro’s best of all and gained considerable distance over the other choices. I expect to have them in my bag soon.

I have a pretty unusual combination in my bag: MP 221 PW-7, with JPX HMP 7-5. The two 7’s have about 5 degrees between them so the lofting is perfect if you can get over carrying two of the same numbered iron.
@paulgouge1896

Played T Zoid Pro and MP64, both with traditional lofts, both with standard 10m gaps. Apart from blades, new M go thru a 1degree less loft range but with only 7 clubs not 8 (3-PW) When changing shafts Project X5.5 to Nippon 120 S. I was asked to try 921 Hot Metal Pro and having hit the 6 I compared it with my 5 (same loft) and just changed shafts. Seek feedback on 223 /225 distance gaps in 8-PW irons, as you don't trial a set only 1 club.

@bigbluemsp
@bigbluemsp Год назад
The one misconception that a lot of people have is that a blade is for a low handicap player. While it maybe true in some regards, strike is more important than handicap. I was a single digit player before I had numerous injuries and illnesses. This year coming back after 6 years off I'm now a mid handicap player and working my way back. I consistently strike center of the face but it's face to path that is my nemesis right now. I have a old set of blades that i can strike very well. But leaving the face open still leaves them going right. Just be honest with yourself about your playing ability and keep an open mind in a fitting.

@@giomusah2155 The distance tracked very close with the lofts. Call it between 5 and 8 yards overall. I think the longer irons will be more forgiving in the JPX line, shorter irons will see less of a difference with the 225. I personally like a mixed set idea with 225 and JPX923 HL. The standard lofts on those two sets would blend well together without any need to start bending lofts most likely.

I went for a fitting earlier this year, it came down to pro 225s or 921 forged, the 225s were realistically 3 yards longer, but everything else was the same. Apart from 2 things, the price, and the workability. I'm not good enough for the 921 tour or 221 pro, but i do like to hit different shots when need arises. Yes you can fade, draw etc the 225's but for me it was much easier with the forged. Not looked back and so happy I'm probably not gonna look at irons again for at least 10 years.

Just had an opportunity to test the new JPX 923’s. The JPX 923 Hot Metal Pro is my choice with a bit more distance than current Mizuno gamer (JPX 800 Pro Forged 2010 Version) due to the stronger lofts. I also found out the i should be using a 2 degree toe up lie. I had a flatter swing and have changed to swing path. Now I understand why I hit shots that are more toward the toe. I usually find that if I address the ball more toward the hosel at address that I hit the sweet spot better. AJ, is it possible to bend my JPX800 Pro Forged irons to achieve the 2 degree toe up lie angle? Great videos. I hope your new shop is meeting expectations.

Think I prefer the standard hot metal JPX 923 for my skill level and the fact that I do not want to practice to spare my lower back. I looked at the 921 recently, and that club looks good. I would also get the set wedges down to the sand and maybe lob wedge. I am looking at the 923 hot metal knowing the lofts are possibly too strong.

I use the Rode Wireless Go II. Works pretty consistently overall. Only had a couple times where it had an issue. I recommend if you use it, to record separate audio directly into the Rode and not connect it to the camera mic line. You have to sync it in post but I have fewer issues when doing it that way. Also most editing software has some sort of auto syncing function that makes it very simple.

Does mizuno automatically use lighter heads when you order clubs that are + 1/2" in length to keep the swing weight in the recommended range or is that something you would have to specify? My clubs in the past from callaway have had very heavy swing weight like D9 just because of the added length.

@JonMoore1 Год назад
So I have the 223s….I like ‘em but you fall off a cliff when you get to the 8 iron down. Not only does the club change to basically a blade (221) but the lofts weaken as well. You end up with a 7i that goes 180 and an 8i if not struck well that goes 145. Obviously the Indian and not the arrow - but something to keep in mind when buying a progressive set. The dispersion will almost always be more because the technology is completely different. My beef is that 90 percent of the time I’m not hitting the 7i up….almost always driver then 8i down….so stuck in blade land for the most part. Gonna keep ‘em but will probably buy an easier sets thats a bit more accommodating. 223s are basically for 221 players that want some help…..not for JPX players looking to sample that next ambitious level. My.02
@EFG2
@EFG2 Год назад
I would bend the 8-p down a degree or two to get the distances back in line. Obviously you could also go the other direction and weaken up the 7,6,5 the same amount. I'd personally do the 8-p strong so you don't feel like you need to swing so hard to get anything out of them. If it doesn't work, can always bend them back.

@EFG2
@EFG2 Год назад
Pretty much everything will go longer now because they have stronger lofts. Trick is to find ones with enough loft to still hit it high along with farther. Might require changing your thoughts on what a certain iron number should do as comparing a Ping Zing 2 7i against todays clubs isn't a fair match up.
