Mizuno teases new JPX-900 woods, irons in video

Published

on

Coming in September, Mizuno’s new JPX-900 line. While we’re still waiting to hear official details about the company’s new driver, fairway wood, hybrid and irons, much can be learned about the clubs from Mizuno’s teaser video, which was released on Facebook today.

According to the video, the JPX-900 driver (which was added to the USGA Conforming Club List earlier this month) uses two 8-gram slidable weights to alter trajectory. The JPX-900 fairway wood uses a single sliding weight, as well as the company’s new Shockwave sole. The JPX-900 hybrid also uses the new Shockwave sole, which we can safely say from the name will have ball speed benefits.

The JPX-900 irons appear to come in three different models:

  1. JPX-900: A distance iron made from a material called Chromoly 4140M.
  2. JPX-900 Forged: A players iron forged from 1025E boron steel.
  3. JPX-900 Tour: A blade-like iron forged from 1025E carbon steel.

In the past, Mizuno’s JPX iron line has showcased the company’s latest technologies, and has usually appealed to higher-handicap golfers than the company’s MP line. With the latest JPX iron release, however, it appears that the line could be blurring — at least in terms of size and shape. As for the technologies in the new clubs, we’ll just have to wait a little longer to hear exactly what Mizuno has done.

    Unless I’m missing something, it looks like Mizuno is no longer stocking the right handed 850 forged. Lefts are still available.

    I have the 850 forged and I love ’em. Nissan shafts at no upcharge. The 900’s have something to live up to, let alone surpass.

    At least at one point, you were kind of funny. You’ve reached “searching for relevancy” very quickly.

    I don’t quite understand these comments about a manufacturer coming out with regularly updated club lines. To follow this logic to its natural conclusion, it seems some want club manufacturers to come out less often with new lines. To what end? To box them in and to doom them as a “niche” market brand? Companies are in business to make money. Today’s markets dictate certain marketing strategies and, obviously, Mizuno, TM, Callaway, Nike and most every other major club maker have decided they need to keep buyers interested by introducing new stuff every couple of years. No one is forcing you to buy the new clubs; thanks to GolfWRX, there’s lots of old, used clubs for sale on the private market.

    Yeah, amazing that a company that produces a product would want to release products.

    What are you on about? This isn’t Callaway or TMAG. The JPX, JPX EZ and MP lines are all on 2 year cycles. JPX due for refresh now, MP due for refresh in fall 2017, EZ due for refresh in spring 2018. Better get your clock checked.

      Have the forged Mizuno jpx 850 boron..Have yet to find anyone that hits one not say “Love how that feels, when your done with them can I have them”. Flush an 8 iron and it feels like you just sliced through butter and ball is gone….

    I use to have Mizuno clubs ,the MP600 driver ahead of the times.MX 400 great game improvement
    Stuff . I like these so much I would give them a test run.

    The Tour’s look clean and the Forged look good but not great. Remove the JPX 900 logo up by the toe and make it smaller replacing the Mizuno text logo and they would be really fresh.

        Smizzle acting like Mizuno’s releases are as frequent as his posts. Don’t matter. He makes the board more lively. Keep ’em coming, friend.

        FWIW I wouldn’t mind seeing releases every 5 years. For every TM Bubble Shaft breakthrough there are 100+ no-improvement rev generators. If I had a dollar for every ‘gain 5-10 yds!’ claim from clubmakers (and celeb teaching pros – I’m talking to you, Hank), well, I’d have a lot of dollars. Very few yardage gains, though.

    My favorite parts of Mizuno have always been: #1 feel, and #2 simple and refined looks. Unfortunately only the feel looks like it will be remaining, which undoubtedly still be pretty dang good.

    Wish they made forged cavity backs in the same metal as the tours. Didn’t care for the boron and Mizuno has never been into “distance” until recently. But I’m gonna hit em ASAP regardless.

    • Mizman

      Jul 26, 2016 at 3:15 pm

      Well, THAT is a forged CB in that very metal you want. So it IS the club you want. Duh

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

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.
