Mizuno Releasing JPX 921 Irons: Full Preview
Busy Monday with product release! Loved this writeup: answered my questions about what is new in the 921 lineup. Forged looks like a sweet spot. The shorter length toe to heel is what I wanted to see. I plan to hit these as soon as available with a local fitter.
Boy those HMP's are calling to me.
Great information on the homepage this morning.. Very well written articles!
Man those look incredible. Great write-up!

So from what I've read, and the early drawings/sketches I've seen, the 921 Forged still has the milled cavity slot behind the lower face. Looks like they added badging to cover/hide the slot???? Gives it a nice look, but I wonder if there was any other purpose for it.
The hot metal pros have my attention. This has been the year of iron buying for me, so I don’t see a reason to stop now. Hopefully I can get my hands on them soon to give them a try.

Sexy. Very Sexy.
They backmilled the 919F, too. They mill out the sole to thin the face in the 4-7i and then replace the sole by some magical means. The badge is there for the 919F and they've kept it for the 921 - it did not get in the way - it can be bent, but I had no issues with it. When it was really muddy, a little bit of mud would gather at the top. A brush removed it. A good place to adjust swingweight if wanted.

What I'm seeing is that it looks like the 921 badging is covering that slot though, the badging doesn't cover it in the 919, the slot is open. I like the look of the new badging, just wonder if there is any other purpose for it besides appearance.

If one set is good, all the sets is better. I think some Hot Metal (pro or otherwise) would be great for your game.

The Hot Metal Pro is a very big sleeper in this line.
Are you thinking these should be longer even though the lofts seem the same as last year?

Tough to say in the abstract. Likely a bit longer due to a few of the changes but I'm really guessing they are a lot more forgiving as far as ball speed retention goes.
Sounds like the Forged are getting the most advances despite their more compact size. Love the minimal offset, although that top line is a bit intimidating.
I am sure the Forged is nice, but it's going to have to be light years ahead of the HMP for an extra $400. I can see a set of HMP 4-GW and ES 54, 58 being ordered very soon if Ping doesn't bring their "A" game, quick!
