Spotted: Mizuno JPX-900 Driver

Published

Jul 7, 2016

Mizuno has a new driver on the USGA’s Conforming Club List. Called the JPX-900, the driver appears to have several adjustable elements, the most interesting of which is a sliding weight in the heel section of the club that looks to have the ability to alter face angle. There’s also a three-rail adjustable weight system that appears similar to the company’s Fast Track Technology used on its JPX-850 driver.

Mizuno is yet to offer any details on the new driver, so we can only offer our speculation. When the words open, neutral and closed are written on the sole of a club, however, we have to assume that face angle is being referenced. The ability to alter the face angle of the driver through an adjustable sole attachment, which would assumedly interact with the ground to make the club face point more to the left or more to the right at address, is a feature we haven’t seen used in a driver design since TaylorMade’s R1 driver was released in 2013.

Also visible in the black-and-white photo of the JPX-900 is an adjustable hosel, which gives golfers the ability to tweak loft and face angle simultaneously. The adjustable hosel, adjustable weights and adjustable sole attachment would offer golfers three levels of fine tuning that have to excite Mizuno fans.

Hit one today in San Antonio… Very solid, nice feel and sound, ball just explodes off the face… Try one you may be surprised… Also the 3 wood looks great, plus the 900 series irons and new wedges are a must see!!!

I have a secret device to open or close the face on ALL my clubs It’s:-
1) loosen your hold
2) rotate club open/closed by required amount
3) re-grip .
Damn, now the secret’s out , they’ll never sell another new driver .
Cheers all, Nige .

  i prefer to keep my strong grip where it is and like the driver head to rotate on its axis of the hosel adaptor, then turn my hips and shoulders to where i’m going to hit it and then swing the club on the path that gets me the curve of the ball I want. your mind blown

I think it’s safe to say that nobody cares about Mizuno drivers. Right, folks?

  By putting the COR beyond the limit with these Titanium clubs means it’s so thin there is a likelihood of face breakage more than the ones below the limit is why companies don’t risk taking it to that point as often as consumers would like, is why there is so much tech being put into golf balls

      they don’t break for you because you don’t swing fast enough with your 75mph swing

        Your high swing speed sky shots most of broken your drivers: “it’s a high pop up … back … back … oh foul ball”

Maybe a few to many adjustments for the average golfer to mess with. Personally, I don’t like drivers that force you to sole the club to adjust it.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
