As we know, Mizuno JPX 800 Irons are a big jump into the game improvement category for Mizuno Golf. Sure- they have other irons in this space (MX-1000, MX-300) but most people know and respect Mizuno most for their game-enhancing line of muscle back and blade irons known for their amazing feel and precision. In my opinion there was a big gap between the MX-1000's and the MP lines of clubs and the JPX-800's a full-fledged jump into that space, providing 8 to 24 handicappers with a truly remarkable option; a club with the feel Mizuno is known for combined with the game improvement qualities desired by many of us like forgiveness and increased distance. I don't want to ruin the rest of my review- but mission (mostly) accomplished.
I had the chance to hit and review both thediscount JPX 800 and JPX-800 Pro irons. Mizuno advised me that the JPX-800 irons were best suited for players in the 8 to 30 handicap range and the JPX-800 Pros for players playing from 4 to 20. Both sets are designed to conform to the 2010 Condition of Competition rule, so that means "new grooves." This review will cover my thoughts on the JPX-800 iron line in general, but I'll try to distinguish points on both models.
Nothing matters if they don't work, right?! I loved these irons. I really think Mizuno is on to something special with these clubs. I love the feel of Mizuno irons- so much so that despite being custom fit by Nike I'm still tempted constantly to go back and play my set of best price Mizuno MP-58 Irons. The only reason I don't is because I'm really not good enough for the MP-57's, but the feel of hitting them good is so amazing... Enter the JPX-800 series irons. Perfectly stuck shots feel fantastic. Like a blade- no, but that's not what you're signing up for. Hitting from the fairway, rough and hardpan- I felt comfortable taking the JPX-800's to the my ball with confidence. Unlike some game improvement clubs- there was a good amount of workability available to me as well. I don't have enough skill to sit on the range hitting cuts and draws consistently, but I can tinker enough to know that a good golfer shouldn't be afraid to take on these clubs.
