Mizuno has unveiled the next generation of its JPX irons, the 925s, which build on the successful foundation of its predecessors by promising ‘exceptional distance, unmatched feel, and unrivalled fitting options’.
The new JPX925 Hot Metal range comprises three models, each tailored to meet the unique needs of different golfers – Hot Metal, Hot Metal Pro, and Hot Metal High Launch.
The range introduces a new colour-coding system on the back of each clubhead, simplifying the differentiation of models during fittings and on the shop floor. This system features a white marker for the Hot Metal, black for the Hot Metal Pro, and blue for the Hot Metal High Launch, allowing for quick and easy identification.
And, for the first time, the JPX Hot Metal family includes multi-material construction, enhancing the performance of Nickel Chromoly with strategically placed tungsten to deliver a higher launch and steeper landing angles for pinpoint iron precision rarely found in distance-oriented designs.
JPX925 Hot Metal: Maximum speed and consistency with the innovative CORTECH Design and Contour Ellipse face for unparalleled distance control.
RRP: £150 per iron, £900 (5-PW)
JPX925 Hot Metal High Launch: Offers maximum launch and spin, featuring the same cutting-edge technology in a wider, easier-to-elevate package.
RRP: £150 per iron, £900 (5-PW)
JPX925 Hot Metal Pro: Combines the same advanced technology with a slimmer, more refined profile for golfers seeking a compact design.
RRP: £165 per iron, £990 (5-PW)
Contour Ellipse Face
All three sets of irons feature a CORTECH design with a Contour Ellipse Face, marking a significant leap forward with a multi-thickness face profile that is 30% thinner than its predecessor. This innovation enhances centre ball speed and ensures maximum speed retention throughout the impact zone.
In addition, the multi-material construction, incorporating tungsten weighting in the 4-7 irons, positions the weight low to facilitate a higher launch and lower sweet spot. This design produces a steeper landing angle, optimizing playability and control.
Chromoly 4140M
The JPX925 Hot Metal Irons also benefit from the inclusion of Chromoly 4140M, a high-strength material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and malleability. This allows for a high-strength face with a pliable hosel for precise fitting.
The seamless one-piece cup face geometry, with thinned areas around the perimeter, helps to maximize the rebound area for unparalleled ball speed across the entire face.
Additionally, a variable sole thickness enhances the overall face flex area, contributing to increased COR (Coefficient of Restitution). This, combined with a balanced stability frame, improves control while maintaining forgiveness, producing a tour-preferred vibration and sound.
Harmonic Impact Technology
Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Technology, featuring meticulously fine-tuned head geometry, delivers an ideal feel and feedback at impact. Meanwhile, Acoustic Sound Ribs ensure precisely calibrated vibration patterns for a solid, explosive impact sound.
Rounding out the design of the JPX925 Hot Metal Irons is the White Satin Brush Finish. This modern, elegant finish is both durable and non-glare.
“With the JPX line, we are pushing the boundaries of golf club engineering,” said David Llewellyn, Director of R&D. “The new Hot Metal Iron family introduces a multi-material design, strategically incorporating tungsten into our NickelChromoly designs, enhancing the renowned Hot Metal distance with impressive height and spin.
“With three distinct models to choose from, each offering extensive custom fitting options, we uphold the quality and craftsmanship Mizuno is renowned for. We are dedicated to continually setting new standards of performance in the industry.”
The JPX925 Hot Metal Iron family will be on pre-sale beginning September 5 and available for purchase from September 19.
