PLAYER TESTING TAKEAWAYS
“Data made this club stand out. Height and distance were good. Spin and launch too. Felt harder when hitting but performed well. Mishits still went straight. High launch. Good distance and feel overall.” – Dave Carroll (7-handicap) on the Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro irons
“I like less offset in this club. Feel was soft through impact — big sweet spot. Mishits not too penal. 8 yd gain from current gamer! Love the players look at address. Gave both forgiveness and distance like a game-improvement iron. Got ball speed and distance gains.” – Jack Hale on the Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro irons

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
With the JPX 925 Forged, Mizuno has redesigned its workhorse player’s distance irons to retain the iconic buttery smooth Mizuno feel the brand’s forgings are known for in a compact package, while updating the technology to bring the performance closer in line with the JPX Hot Metal irons. And for the first time, the clubs will be available in two finishes for the entire retail cycle.
What makes Mizuno’s latest JPX 925 Hot Metal such an intriguing product is how it blends classic Mizuno looks with game-changing technology that’s screaming out to you from underneath the hood. This product has routinely pushed the performance limits of what a Mizuno iron can do.
The Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro is the better player offering in a lineup that consists of three models (Pro, Standard and HL)
The overall feel is what many have come to expect from Mizuno’s Chromoly head material: it’s fast, firm and responsive. The sound bar in the back cavity did a nice job keeping the sound within a range I deemed to be pleasing. It’s not muted, but it’s definitely not loud. Goldilocks would be a fan.
