A couple of years ago nearly to the day, Mizuno launched their latest in the line of JPX irons, with the 921. Today, we get a look into the future with the JPX923 irons, yet we are not able to share a lot with you as of yet.
Hitting the USGA Conforming list are what you would expect, and a couple of things you probably wouldn’t have expected.
JPX923 Forged and Tour irons
JPX923 Hot Metal and Hot Metal Pro Irons
JPX923 Hot Metal HL
LH Forged Irons
As mentioned, it is a bit too early to bring a lot of the information, we can share that in the near future we will not only have full details, but also have these irons in the hands of THP Forum Members for full user review as well as our detailed thoughts on the technology.
Stay tuned for more coming soon on the entire line of new JPX irons. As always for the latest in availability, check out their website at www.mizunogolf.com.
120-125, somewhere in that range.
Oh! Okay. I was hanging a little below that. Thanks.
He hits a seven iron as far as I hit my driver most days
Honestly it was kind of a tough speed for me to find. Did, but not sure how much it would be like a person who hist it in that range. 3/4 swings for me were about 200 carry 138 mph, and chippies were consistently like 115 mph and 160-5 carry. Took what I’m sure is a crappy video with some numbers that I’ll upload it later. They feel and sound pretty awesome at reasonable speed with CSX though. I was really impressed.
Well I can say without hesitation I don’t ever hit a 7i 200yds carry Lol. I’m in the 170-75 range.
I think the 923 tour will be my thing.
Puttmaster v3.0, who plays to a 2 hdcp, rocks the 921 Tour. Loves ’em (after playing MP-5 for a few years).
Well these things go

BOOM. lol. Had a 218 carry in there.
Finally home. Will put together a terrible montage of me trying to find that 120 mph and a few others. Going to have to narrate or something for it to have any context, or be really long.
Narrate it is!!
I can’t help but wonder what the numbers would be if you were wearing Squairz?
hahahh Um, that was actually a big issue today (with drivers). I didn’t have my normal shoes. The whole thing was kind of unplanned, so I had to throw on my Olukai’s. And I’ve shared me thoughts on them and performance. So it was actually a good day to wear them with the HMP so I could just go slow and enjoy what they are. And if the video ever finishes uploading you can hear those damn non-performance Olukai’s SQUEAKING. lol
Was pleasantly surprised how nice they look over the ball, and how they feel, for how fast and helpful they are. Another guy hitting them seemed surprised too. And they were pretty straight. They were about 3 or 4 degrees too upright for me (it was a 2 up head, I never thought about changing it because I never thought I’d hit more than a few chippies when I started), but I didn’t curve the ball too much. It was in my head a bit, but as a draw guy lots of upright is usually lots of scary because it goes lots of left. lol I tried to adjust my swing a bit for it, but was still surprised by that.
All swings are unfinished not because they’re chippies and three quarters but because that’s how my swing critic @McLovin likes them.

Really hoping to be able to share about these. Just need them to actually be in public eye somewhere.
Anyone? Thank you
The guys at the Victory Cup right now might be about to give some input on this after the event. Sounded like a couple got Recoils and.. ???? I never even think to ask about stock graphite.
Yes hoping for some insight thank you
You can hear it above. Sounds good. Quick. Strong. Let’s the face be thinner..
I saw this just a few mins ago. It looks like we won’t get any details until 9/23? I was hoping for a full reveal today.
I think if you look hard you’ll get some, just not the typical release articles and review vids yet.
I’ll definitely be on the lookout for any info I can get. I really wish I was good enough to play the Tours. They look amazing from the pics that have been posted. But, alas, I need all the forgiveness I can get. lol
Well if you have a place near you heads are mostly out. In. To hit. Some put them out or let them be hit to get orders going quickly. It’s interesting for me on what people who play the HMP and HM will see as differences. I don’t normally play them so they probably don’t jump out at me as much. The forged and tour are improved. The 921 Tour we’re kind of panned for not being very different from 919 and not feeling great. The forged are the fun ones. They keep making that package a little better.
I’m the opposite especially on the tour. Love the satin look on those
I don’t have anything local, but if we happen to wander out of town this weekend, I’ll make a point to check some of the golf shops. I love my current set of HMs, so I’m really curious as to what they’ve changed for the 923s. I wouldn’t mind a slightly higher launch, but I’m guessing the Hot Metal HL will be more of a SGI set with more offset and wider soles.
Places had heads out of the tour and forged irons?
No not that I’ve seen on the floor.
Oh I think I read that wrong about taking orders.
Yeah I was just saying that some places rush them out as soon as they get them to try to get their own sales moving, and I’ve always assumed just writing up an order.. and having to wait to submit it? I have seen them be in the system where you could do it before official launch though. ???? Not something I usually have to think about.
I was speaking to those two irons specifically, not the entire line. It will make more sense come the 23rd when we can speak to it.
Golf Galaxy is having a Mizuno fitting next weekend, which I booked a slot. Based on these past couple posts in this thread, sound like the 923 Forged will NOT be avialable to hit? HM series only? Please tell me I’m wrong…..
I can’t speak to anything pre release.
Are these softer feeling than previous generations?
These are his results in the video ^ posted above if you don’t want to watch for whatever reason.
You spent time with the forged irons at a local shop?
Haven’t seen them on a store floor yet. Not sure when they’ll get them.
But you did spend time with the forged Irons? ?
Listening to Vosh get in the weeds on tech was a major highlight of the trip. I said it before in the live thread but just being in the same room listening to him made me feel smarter. His passion for the brand is infectious. It no wonder he’s pretty much the face of the company. Such a great dude.
I only got to hit the Hot Metal and Hot Metal HL, but my results were a little different. The HL really surprised me.
I think the HMP’s are probably the best looking of the 923 lineup to me. The black accent is a nice touch.
