FINALLY...The PERFECT Golf Clubs... FOR EVERYONE!? 

I’d like to see someone with a seven iron swing speed of 70 to 75 mph hit the HL’s as this is what Mizuno designed them for after collecting hundreds of thousands of swing speeds. I recently had a Mizuno specialist fitting and while I really wanted to walk out with the Pro’s, I settled on the HL’s. Absolutely so easy to hit and chalk and cheese compared to the HM’s and Pro’s all due to my 76 mph swing speed. Thoroughly recommend these. 👍🏻🇦🇺

I just ordered a set of Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metals 5-GW with stiff Nippon Modus 105 shafts and Golf Pride CP2 grips. I tested pretty much every new iron for 2022 and 2023 and these far and away were the best for me. I am about a 18 handicap and my iron striking has always been my downfall. I cant wait to get these into the bag, I think Minuno has a winner here for 2023!

2022 proves to be a fantastic year for new irons. So many different manufacturers have come out with incredible looking and incredible performing irons. Glad I bought mine and don't have to think about it anymore.

I love the feel of the Mizuno irons. Saving up for a set to game next year.

The Mizuno JPX923 are... I don't even know. I just bought a pair of 923 Forged with Dynamic Gold 105 (I think it was) shaft. I've been searching for clubs for a year and as a mid handicapper I was never able to find anything that work for me straight away. I always needed 2 degree flat lie not to hook every club I tried but then I tried these recently, completely stock in the store with a Dynamic Gold 95 shaft and it was almost perfect and it went dead straight and felt amazing. The JPX923 weren't even on my radar but the lady after seeing my swing told me to try these and I am so thankful she did. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase.

I just got fitted for the hot metals and not only do they feel incredible I picked up 15 yards straight of the bat.

If you are looking at these don't discount the HL because you think they are for slow swing speeds or old men. I swing about 80mph but have a good bit of shaft lean when I'm striking the ball well. Was getting a much more desirable ball flight with the 2degrees of loft on each club. Really only adds a degree or 2 to launch angle and a touhc more spin.

Went through a fitting back in March 2023. I fully expected to end up with Titleist T200 irons, but the ball flight of the Mizuno 923 was more to my liking. Also, I had a tighter grouping with the Mizunos. Got the clubs in April, and the results have been unbelievable. My handicap dropped 3 strokes to under a 7 (not bad for a 62 year old) and even my misses are manageable. I honestly can't remember the last time I hit an iron with my Mizunos that was just plain terrible. Even though they are a 'game improvement' iron, they really do have the look of a blade and come the closest I've found to the feel of my old forged clubs. I am enjoying playing again after a few years of frustration with a set of TMs.

I tested them as well. I don't need the HL ... you do lose a little distance but the get up quickly. Standards and pros tested amazingly. What club did you like the most?

Just hit the HM, HM Pro, and HMHL on the Trackman vs my Srixon ZX5’s. No difference in distance, but my Srixon’s felt so much softer! Not that they felt bad, they were very nice.

As someone who has played mizuno irons for the last 25 years. #nothingfeelslikeamizuno isn't marketing it's true 👍

I don't like these kind of irons for chipping James. They're a bit jumpy off the face. I am gaming a set of Titleist T100s irons that give me the power in the 4,5,6&7 but the nice solid feel in the 8,9&PW for delicate chips. But if I was looking to combo a set I think I'd like to save a few quid and Tokomo it 😁

I have the 921 HM Pro irons and really like them. I'm not sure there is a reason to update but for "feel" which seems to be the 923's calling card compared to the 921's. Great review.

James...How would you rate the Mizuno JPX 923 hot metal up against the Mizuno 225 Pro irons??? For a mid handicap coming down the line... a 12 to 8 right now???? P.S. What shaft and flex were you using???

That is how to review golf clubs, awesome looking iron

Morning from Bama! Love me some Mizuno. I'm finally stripping the ball a bit more consistently. For my 2 year golfing anniversary, next June, I'm saving up for some Mizuno irons all thanks to the loads of reviews from your channel James. Cheers!

Great looking irons. I’m looking forward to the 923 forged irons early next year!

If i didn't get custom fit early last year for 2019 Titleist T-200's (4-GW) with Red AMT graphite shafts, i would def. go for JPX 923 or 921's (Hot Metal Pro or Forged). I had a 2 sets of Mizuno Irons over last 12 years. MP-58's in 2010 and JPX 900 Forged in 2017. They felt awesome.

For 210, I'm going Hot Metal in the 5 iron. I hit a similar shot yesterday and hit within 10' of the cup. Would love to upgrade my Taylormade Sims.

Great video JR 👌 good info on clubs I love...I've just been fitted for last year's model mid range purely for ease and price

My 923 Hot Metal Pros arrived today. Just got done taking the plastic off the heads, anxiously waiting to game them

I got fitted for and preordered the regular Hot Metals and it’s been painful waiting for them to arrive. Super excited

Nice set ! I game the PXG 0211 XCor2. They feel better than my classic forged, Ben Hogan Apex Edge set and my Ping G425 set.

I've been considering the stealth iron set, do you think the hot metal irons would be a better choice?

242 yds out? I have nothing that can reach, so I'd play for position with a 22 deg hybrid, leaving about a 40 - 50 yd pitch onto the green. Two putts for par.

When the rest of the line is out, I hope you get back to Mizuno for a head to head fitting HM Pro vs forged vs tour.

Irons look great. I would need to uses the Mid Handicapper Irons..

James are you wearing a Datejust on course 😅? The shock from a golf swing can do damage to the rotor and spring wheel. More robust references like the sea dweller and submariner can handle the shock a bit better.

Hi James , I have the Jpx 921 hm ; gw to 5 really enjoying them . I saw the HL are more traditional lofts ... question ? is it worth the change don’t see much difference for that $$$ 🤔 besides new clubs 😊.. keep up the nice work 🏌🏽‍♂️⛳️

Love the HL in process of investing in lessons James then they could be my next purchase

have the 919 hot metal LW-7, with hybrid 6and 5. Much higher launch than Cobra so I am always more accurate.

I’m glad I went with the 921 hot metals. They seem very similar but the 923s are jacked up loft wise. Great offering though for all the way from low to high handicappers.

Great cinematography! If you were going to a fitting this weekend, would you consider a spilt set?

I’d probably go 923 forges when they come out p-5. Hot metal pro in the 4i

Well done James 👏

Just wait until the Forged and the Tour come out 👀 they are very very nice. I got fitted into the 923 tours with extensive hitting on all 5 heads and I get to pick them up tomorrow just in time for the weekend. I guess that’s just the perks of living in Japan 😌 time to be that guy that plays with iron covers

Hit the 7 iron in all models yesterday ridiculous yards 220 and biggest was 232 that's mad

Hey James, can you throw in a average swinger swing speed on you test stop help us! Great piece! Thanks

I just ordered the 5,6 of the jpx 923 HL

Just when I have made my finalist list, you have to come up with another awesome set of clubs to consider. Do you do this on purpose?

Will stick with my Mizzy Pro 223s

I played the 921 hot metal pro last model were really nice clubs but changed to the taylormade p790 2017 model and love them.i think these look to much like the older model still lovely but would pock up the old ones a lot cheaprr

James Ive got to asked this question and something I was hoping you would have answered for a mid to high handicapper I tried all three using a dynamic 105 shaft then switching to a 85 gram shaft for the hot metal pro which as my handicap suggest took me quite a few hits to get used to owing to the blade like head in length but the lighter shaft did help especially launching the ball moving on to the hot metal I hit these well and was around 5 yards longer in length than the hl model looking at your last three shots it seemed you did better with the hl model once you adjusted your aim now for my question im not quite ready for the pros although I did start to get the hang of them using the 7 iron how I would do hitting he 5 I don't know so for me its the other two versions to choose from James is it worth the trade to go for stopping distance of the hl which according to testers seems to be incredible and give up a little distance than the hot metal with that 2 and a half stronger loft in the summer when the grounds really hard I often run through the greens as do many of my friends, is this a valid point to consider. loved the review

James, have you ever tested the Tour Edge Hot Launch irons like C522?

Good morning from the mid-west US. Did you get any “jumpers”? If so, how far did they jump?

I just traded my taylormade stealth with ns pro 105 for 923 pro with kbs 120s

It seems things are coming full circle .. the HL model has the same lofts as the jpx800 from circa 2010 would be good to see a comparison between the 2 and what improvements in over ten years have been made ?

I still play the JPX 800 HD irons which have identical lofts as these 923 HL's. Even the wide sole and offset are similar. Need I upgrade?

I love my 921 JPX Hote Metal. But i am struggling with my 4 and 5 iron. The hl in 4 and 5 could be a nice replacement.

Only thing is the wait time on your shiney new mizuno clubs coming

I think the pro ones are stronger lofted hense the longer distances you were getting

Hi James, how would you say the forgiveness of the jpx923 hot metal compares to the mizuno pro 225?

Just got fitted for some JPX 923 Hot Metal. Went in looking for the HL, but the fitting the HM was the one to go for, 9, 8 and 7 irons. Then have hybrids above and Cleveland CBX wedges. Happy days 🤠👍

The most puzzling part about this lineup is that the “pro”version is the strongest lofted

I picked 921 HM Pro's because of the offset. I dont like the offset in std HM irons

Seriously thinking about moving away from Callaway this year because quite frankly their quality has drastically declined over the past few years. Definitely going to have to add the 923 to the list of contenders, thanks for the early review mate.

Hl ball flight for me just sim a little more right

I bought the pros and cannot hit them to save my life. It’s honestly got me wanting to quit the game. When I get a hold of them, they are fantastic. But I just cannot hit them consistent. 🤦🏻‍♂️

How do these compare to the takamo 101s?

Hi James. Why have you stopped saying “Let’s do it now” at the start of your videos? It was becoming a saying in our house before we watched you x

Does anyone remember which mid to low level club that James reviewed, has the least amount of offset? The last thing I need is help getting the club closed at impact.

Kind of odd how the video cut off at the end just FYI

Does anybody know if James was hitting 6 or 7 irons in the simulator?

Pro against the 225 plz!

I would love to get into the NFT market but it's expensive with the gas price alone, something could cost $18 but the gas could be over $400

I still don’t think they look as nice as the p790s. That’s a club for everyone!

...or wait for the 923 Forged

As a American we play the American brands but these clubs are starting to show up on course more . Still love my Callaways but these are nice

The HLs have significantly stronger lofts than the Pro.

The HL is “…not actually that bad.” Talk about damning with faint praise! HL would be the option my newbie self would be most tempted by, tho really I’m more drawn to the high handicap offerings from Tour Edge and Takomo. Great vid, as ever. These vids help me get thru the workday.

Comparing 4i with 5i !!? Of course the 5i will fly higher .....duh!

James, you and I have a different idea of what looks good. To my eye, these clubs are ugly. In Mizuno's line of clubs, the Pro 225 is more appealing to me... Maybe the Pro 221, even

James think your you tube channel comments have been hacked as it said I've won a prize and to message you
