Mizuno

Why we like it

This is the epitome of a modern iron for better players. The blade length was shortened in the 6-iron through pitching wedge from the JPX921, and the topline is trimmer. On the sole, a more rounded trailing edge increases shot-making ability and enhances turf interaction. As with most Mizuno irons, its “grain-flow forging” process tightens the carbon steel’s grain structure to produce a beyond-pleasant feel at impact – a reminder you don’t have to play for pay to enjoy benefits normally reserved for tour players.

• A copper layer underneath the chrome finish enhances feel.
• More compact short irons appeal to better players.
• Rounded trailing edge of the topline softens look at address.
• 7-iron: 34 degrees; PW: 46 degrees
