Keeping track of all the different gear that each equipment brand releases year-on-year can be quite difficult, particularly when it comes to products like irons as there are often multiple different models within each range.
Luckily Mizuno keep it pretty simple as they have two distinct ranges: there's the MP or Mizuno Pro range, which are sleek forged blades aimed at better players, and then the JPX range which offers a little more distance and forgiveness for the average golfer.
The latest JPX925 Hot Metal irons are designed to build on the foundation of previous JPX irons by offering plenty of distance with the same great Mizuno feel, as well as a range of fitting options.
There are three different models available: Hot Metal, Hot Metal Pro and Hot Metal High Launch.
"Our team thrives on the JPX philosophy of innovation. The JPX line allows us to approach design in a whole new way, thinking about the future and experimenting with advanced technologies and materials."
"This forward-thinking mindset enables us to challenge conventions in every category of clubs - irons, drivers and more. And even with this innovative approach, we continue to deliver the exceptional look and feel that makes Mizuno golf clubs so special."
Chris Voshall, Mizuno Product Director.
The new models feature a new colour code system on the back of each head, with a white market for the Hot Metal, black for the Hot Metal Pro and blue for the Hot Metal High Launch.
For the first time the irons use a multi-material construction, enhancing the performance of the Nickel Chromoly with tungsten placed in certain areas to deliver high launch and steeper landing angles, providing more precision in a game-improvement head.
The irons use a Cortech design with a Contour Ellipse Face, with a multi-thickness face profile that is 30% thinner than its predecessor. This is said to enhance ball speed in the centre of the face, ensuring maximum speed retention throughout the impact zone.
The addition of tungsten weighting in the 4-7 irons positions the weight lower in the face, allowing for a higher launch and a lower sweet spot. This design produces a steeper landing angle to give golfers extra control when hitting into the green.
Chromoly 4140M is a high-strength material which has a high strength-to-weight ratio and malleability, allowing for a high-strength face with pliable hosel for precise fitting.
The one-piece cup face geometry has thinned areas around the edge of the face, maximising rebound for better ball speeds on strikes right across the face.
A variable sole thickness enhances the face flex area, contributing to increased COR. This combines with a stability frame to improve control while maintaining forgiveness, with a tour-preferred vibration and sound.
Harmonic Impact Technology delivers a great feel and feedback at impact, while Acoustic Sound Ribs ensure 'calibrated vibration patterns' for a solid impact sound.
A white satin brush finish is both durable and non-glare, providing irons which both look and perform great.
