"If you're not hitting out of the middle, no club is going to help you." - probably the most important part of this review for me and it really had nothing to do with the club. When I was starting out I was looking for the club that would save me from being rubbish. Knowing it doesn't exist anywhere seems obvious once you're a bit further along on the journey, but it is so valuable to understand that simple point.

I have the 921 Forged irons. I love em. There’s a clear difference in sound and feel with the 4-7 Chromoly infused irons compared to the 1025E short irons, but I don’t mind it. The long irons feel a bit snappier, springier. One thing about the 921 Forged that I noticed was that they bend out of specs rather easily. I brought my irons to a golf shop to have the lofts and lies checked and most of the irons were 1-1.5 degrees off and the lie angles weren’t even close to specs. No big deal. But within about 6 months, I brought them back to get checked out and sure enough, the irons were out of spec again. I’m not sure if this is a common occurrence or not with forged irons as these are the first forged set I’ve ever played on a regular basis.

Can’t wait to get my just fitted 923 forged from Mizuno. HCP 9-10, I tried out Callaway, Srixon, Taylormade, Wilson and TITLEIST 200. I really wanted to fit to the TITLEIST, but it turned out, that the soft feel of the Mizuno couldn’t be beaten. Length, consistency and feel was way better than with all others. I love a slim top-line, so the tour would suit me a bit better at this issue, but out at the course, I think, the forged will serve me better.

Trying to decide between the 225 and the tours or forged. What’s the main difference?

@johnwallace520 Жыл бұрын

@@BuffaloBarber24 The tours are probably the least forgiving but have a very slim top line and the smallest head. The 225 and the forged are pretty similar but I think the 225 will feel a bit better and be a tiny bit less forgiving. The 225 is a hollow body construction but the JPX forged is designed with a hot face. I am pretty sure the 225 and the forged have the same lofts, making then a bit longer than the tour which has more conventional loft and needs more clubhead speed to get the same distance. You need to go and try them somewhere before deciding.

I recently went out to get fitted for Mizuno irons. A golf specialist near me had some nice discounts, so I figured this was my chance. Got there, blind tested all major brands and their types, really wanted Mizuno to 'fit' me but to my surprise I ended up with a set of PXG 0311 Gen 4's. I just didn't get the feeling I wanted/hoped for with Mizuno and found it in the PXG's. It felt like that scene from Harry Potter where his wand picks him. Got the clubs completely fitted and absolutely love them since. What I'm trying to say is that "feel" is subjective and everyone should definitely get fitted if you have the chance. You might be pleasantly surprised!

@NAUTILYFE 6 ай бұрын

Agree 100%. I went into a fitting today with three other irons in mind and after hitting 10 different heads went with the JPX 923 Forged which wasn’t even on my radar (and how I made my way to this video!)

@macattack5272 7 ай бұрын

I'm with you Mark. The Tour is almost as forgiving with a very large sweet spot and far more playable. I've been gaming the 919 Tours and found the new 923 Forged to be far less playable. So much so that I just picked up the 923 Tours and am selling my Forged. BTW, I kept my 919 Tour 4 iron in the bag as the 923 Forged 4 is clunky and not a lot of fun off the Turf. The Tours are the best iron that Mizuno has ever made. Period.

@alfredthegreat9543 Жыл бұрын

I've had the Forged since November. For me I found a larger distance difference (about 15 yards on the 7 iron), a tad more forgiving, and a higher flight, than the tour. Bought them after 5 years of MP 18's. My swing speed is lower than yours Mark- I am an old git 😁

I play the 921 Tours and don’t buy into the ‘better players’ stuff. I’m a 9hcp golfer and they are just lovely looking and feeling golf clubs. I rarely if ever think a chunkier club would have helped. I like the loft on them as I want a 7 iron to be a 7 and not a 6 or even a 5.5 ! I play 5 to PW and above that, let the hybrids do the work for long shots. (I’ve not played a 4 iron for years) More people should give them a try as you might be pleasantly surprised.

@nevillehubbard7347 Жыл бұрын

That's very interesting Mark, particularly as I play Mizuno JPX 900 Forged, which I like, but I struggle to hit both 5 & 6-iron (so have replaced them with similarly lofted hybrids). Thank you for explaining why this might be so!!!

@PetSKi67 Жыл бұрын

Good, You told about the mat being flimsy, and that impact would’ve been fat on the course. When practising off mats, the hard ones are really forgiving hitting consistent duffs.and many people doesn’t recognize, if the impact was quarter inch fat on a mat, but struggle on the course, of course. The tell-tails are the sound and ground reaction on the ball landing. Also the trajectory can tell if it was a smidgen thick or not, but it can either be high or too low depending on how much before the ball you hit the mat and wether or not you added loft.
