Michigan Golf Journal October 2020

21 October 2020 www.michigangolfjournal.com Tour and JPX919 Tour were both played to win major championships. Thank you, Brooks Koepka . The stunning new JPX921 Tour maintains its predecessor’s surprising fusion of precision with stability from off-center strikes. It’s now even thicker behind impact for an enhanced, softer feel, with tour refined short irons for smoother turf interaction, and features Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forging from 1025E Pure Select carbon steel in Hiroshima, Japan. If Mizuno was going to make only one iron model, the JPX921 Forged would be it . Previous models contained boron to allow for a thinner face and faster ball speeds, but the 921 now integrates the power of Chromoly (used in the Hot Metal and Hot Metal Pro models) into a full-body Forged iron for the very first time. The result is the fastest ball speeds Mizuno has ever produced from a fully Forged iron, a treat for both the senses and the scorecard. Despite the sleeker look and slightly more compact head compared to the 900 model, the 921 Forged offers a wider back milled slot and additional perimeter weighting for increased stability in the smaller clubhead. If you are a player who prefers the look of a blade iron but know you need some extra forgiveness, the 921 Forged is the solution. Finally, there is the 921 Hot Metal and Hot Metal Pro. These irons fall into the game improvement category with the Pro version offering a more compact profile and reduced offset. This is Mizuno’s third generation of designing and manufacturing irons using Chromoly, leading to a re-engineered Cortech face so that it’s now 0.2mm thinner across the center point. It doesn’t sound like much but combine it with a new variable thickness sole design and extreme perimeter weighting and you get a beautiful pairing of Mizuno’s fastest ever ball speeds with straight ball flight and controllable landing angles. Combine these options with the plethora of no upcharge shafts and grips available from Mizuno, and the JPX921 series has something to offer every golfer.
