I will stick with my Cleveland Zipcore XL, most reviews I have seen rate them above these. And reading the posts where you discover that you had already done a review on these is wonderful, "Daddy Duty" what a wonderful reason to be tired!!!!!!
I have recently bought new clubs, (Callaway Paradym X). I still watch these review videos for the entertainment value. Keep them coming…maybe give Bobby a bit less stick though 😊
I do not like the look of these, but I suspect I am more of an MP range of iron player than the JPX range. Like James I loved the JPX Tour irons.
As for performance, 175 yards carry with a 7i is impressive until you consider the loft of 28.5 degrees, that is a degree stronger than my i210 6i which I carry pretty much the same distance , although with less spin and has the peak height and descent angle to stop reasonably quickly on all but the hardest and bounciest of summer greens. And I do not swing my irons as fast as James does
The problem for me with these irons is that the Srixon ZX4 just look so much better and perform really well.
I just got a set of these, but ordered them before I found out that I need another hand surgery. Only able to try them once, and really couldn't go all out. I conceded that old age meant that I should stick with the lighter 65 gram graphite shaft, rather than the heavier 85 gram version.
I am really glad they went with a hollow body gap wedge. On my 923 hot metals they are a regular wedge and the gapping is not good for me and it doesnt feel the same. Lets be honest the "Gap" wedge is really just a pitching wedge. I get 145 y out of the pwedge and only like 110 from the gap. I definitely prefer to see it in a hollow body and match the set verses what I got.
JPX 919, 921, 923 have the same tech with better looks! I play JPX 919 with Project X Lz Graphite 4.5 shafts perfect combination. Great carry and stopping power on the greens.
Personally speaking, I think it’d be like hitting a ball with an air wair boot. Let’s get back to forged blades where you risk rattling your arm up to your shoulder, that’s reet golf.
I have the HM 921 pro and I have no problems getting the long irons to stop on the green. Great forgiveness and easy to shape. Overall great club that I’ll play for another 5 or 6 years
I played the hot metals for the past 4 1/2 years they are amazing and took me from a 12/14 to a 6.3. I started running into the problem of unintentional flyers. Literally having an 8 iron fly an additional 10 yards out of the blue. I do like to practice a lot is it possible that I have worn the clubs enough that I am getting a knuckle ball every once in awhile? Regardless they make the game easier and more enjoyable. Thanks James
I have the 923 hmp’s. It’s not often you see a brand make something look bigger but Mizuno have done that with the 925s for some reason. They just look chunkier. One thing to note the gap wedge may be new, the 923 gap wedge was more wedgey different design from rest of the set
I started with Mizunos Mp30 irons in 3-pw, they cost me £450 new and I'm still playing them as I love em. I wouldn't mind a set of 243/ 241 combos but At today's prices I'll have to stick with the Mp30s.
I imagine if you'd find these a bit long but like 'em, having the lofts & lies adjusted would pay big for ones' game and mental positivity!!! : ) … esp with the HL! Be Safe

So guys… turns out I have reviewed these already… good news. We’ve gone mega in depth… I need more sleep 😂

They are mizuno so I’m sure will play well but they are ugly. Normally mizuno makes beautiful irons.
I love Mizuno’s I play the MP 225’s
The tours you mentioned aren’t coming in jpx anymore, that style is being left to the MP line. The forged look much better n will be out next year

Great irons. Love Mizuno. Many upgrade options (shafts and grips) at no charge.

Good review, could be my next irons.
I don't really care how far the clubs go. What I need is what the distance between each club in the set is. Is it consistent and predictable.
My 923 hot metals are amazing and I can't see myself taking them out of my bag for a long, long time
Go Richard Jones get your self a set 😀

How do these compare to the Mizuno pro 225?

Yep Mizuno irons so good you had to have a second look lol, but they are good 👍.
Selling my qi10s for the pros with mmt 105 stiff shafts. Hit them farther with more dispersion

The Mizuno Forged come out in the next couple of months, so I'm waiting to see how they look and feel before I make any purchases.
Cracking review guy’s
been playing JPX919 HMP for about 5 years now, such great irons got them fitted with DG 105g S-flex which has worked so well.

Damned good looking club heads

They are SOOOOO ugly.
I have hot metal 923. I love them but I can mush it them and they still help me get the ball on the green.
Used to have jpx825 now got jpx 921 love both. Got me from 28 hc to my lowest hc of 8.9 I'm 64
