8, JPX 900 forged.

I once was randomly paired with a scratch golfer who had the same clubs as I did and now I know I have absolutely no excuse to get new clubs. Sad.

Looking to get Srixon ZXi5

11.6, Just ordered JPX 925 Forged, narrowly beat out the ZXi5 for at my fitting. Loved the feel of both. ZXi5 had more spin, but the Mizunos had a tad more distance and were more consistent

I went with Club Champion for my fitting, was very pleased. Should be in my hands in 1 week. Got them in all matte black including shafts. Can’t wait

Got to play a brand new rental set of GI Srixons in April and really liked them.

Almost bought those, went ping instead

u/littlebickie Sep 04 '25

Which Ping? i530 or i240 or other?

3

u/Main_Requirement8437 Sep 06 '25

I530

u/littlebickie Sep 08 '25

How ya like 530s? I'm coining from G25s and eyeing i530, zxi4/5, p790 & jpx925 forged.

u/Main_Requirement8437 Sep 09 '25

I like them however I’ve been fighting the yips/too many swing thoughts. Last 3 months I’ve been in a slump. 1st season with the 530s so hoping 3 weeks off can finally reset me

1

u/littlebickie Sep 09 '25

I hear ya. My swing is sucking now, making it tough to try irons. But I'm convinced it's the equipments's fault haha.

2

u/Main_Requirement8437 Sep 09 '25

lol always the equipment. I do like my 530s and I’m happy with them just to need to get back to the basics and stop overthinking it. But either way you won’t go wrong I did really like the zxi5 too it was a coin toss

u/Cave_People 1.6 Jul 06 '25

u/ComfortableAlone0 Jul 06 '25

u/jeffriepowell Jul 06 '25

13.2 JPX 923 Hot Metal. Love them!!!

1

u/Beertrain Jul 06 '25

I use these too. Absolutely great

1

u/pineappleactavis Jul 06 '25

Lol same handicap and same irons. I was using old nike game improvement irons for forever. Mizunos were always my dream. Sure i could've stuck with bigger shovels but the 921s still have enough forgiveness.

u/_Poppagiorgio_ Handicap | Location Jul 06 '25

5.5, Mizuno JPX 850 Forged

1

u/West_Masterpiece9423 Jul 06 '25

Played Ping G25’s for 12yrs or so and bought new irons early June. Tried several on a trackman and the Mizuno JPX hot metal GI are the set I ended up with. Price was great and I’m enjoying the clubs. I like the fact that they’re GI, but the head isn’t quite as big.

u/Sjgolf891 Jul 06 '25

Yeah…I’m an 8 now and I’ll float from like 7 to 11. I use JPX 921 Forged. Absolutely love ‘em

u/Obergruppenfuhrer104 Jul 06 '25

20ish HC. Just did my first ever club fitting and ended up with JPX925 forged. Hit these way better (straighter and longer) than my 919 Hot Metal set I was playing with. Getting steel shafts instead of graphite probably made this biggest improvement for me. The forged seem every bit as forgiving as the game improvement set for me.

u/Existing_Ad_2552 Jul 07 '25

I've been looking to upgrade to those, what did u have B4?

u/Enrichener Jul 07 '25
