Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show and this is episode 239. Hosted by Dan Edwards, each Friday he gives you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today, Chris Voshall from Mizuno Golf joins the show to discuss JPX925 Forged and who exactly is the S-3 iron geared towards.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and Vosh dive into many topics including the addition of the black finish and connecting the lines between JPX925 Forged and others in the lineup. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss as Chris Voshall goes Off Course.

Episode 239 is here and Dan and Chris discuss the following topics.
Bringing the Excitement of JPX925 Forged
The Black Finish Being Added
The Value of Feedback/Sound
The S-3 Iron and Who is it Geared Towards
And so much more

Let’s do this!
Nice… looking forward to my commute this morning!
Excellent- tuning in
The “most Hot Metal” version of forged for forgiveness, with also being the best feeling forged…. A 16 year jump in performance. Impressive.
Awesome will be listening later while I work!
[USER=54609]@Vosh68[/USER] – never apologize for needing out with us. You are among friends!
Always enjoy listening to [USER=54609]@Vosh68[/USER] and [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] of course.
This’ll be a great listen for me later today!
Watching now!!
Snagged my morning coffee and tuning in now
Future of the S Pro series is so fun to dream about.
Just in time for me to go hit the Forged irons tomorrow. What great timing. Haha.
Love listening to some Vosh break stuff down! Can’t wait to queue this one up
Have a hybrid, fairway, driver fitting today. Will have to save some time to hit the 925 Forged. The Black is calling my name ?
Great podcast today. Love listening to Dan and Chris.
Is it weird that I can’t decide which iron to be more excited about?
The last time I listened to these two they sent me to a fitting cart…
This will be a much listen for me as soon as I find some time.
So many renovations since my old MX25s

It’s nice to know we drive you to do entertaining things.
Vosh is such a good listen. The excitement is palpable.
Great show today. I so need to hit the JPX forged black irons.
Good stuff as always from [USER=54609]@Vosh68[/USER] and [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER]
I have no business considering either one, and yet hearing I am talking myself into a set of the Forged.
Good show today! Always fun to hear from Vosh!
Always fun to listen to Vosh talk about this stuff. The 16 years comment stands out. That’s a big number to mention in terms of leaped advancement. ?
Wow 16 years of advancement. I need all the forgiveness so not for me but will be fun what else they can do with the new forging processes and s series.

I love everything I heard Vosh tell about it. And realize it’s way out of my league 😀
I love when Vosh starts nerding out about the design and build charasteristics!
Really good listen Dan, enjoyed the way your transitioned into the S3 by bringing up your MP18SC set. That was definitely a players set!
I’ve been a Cleveland/Srixon guy for several years, but every time I hear Chris I get absolutely pumped about Mizuno products. His knowledge and passion makes me so excited about what they are doing that I find myself wanting to check out their clubs…
I can’t wait to listen to this one!
Finally a moment to breathe while I take a break from writing for a bit. Tuning in now!
This was a great listen on my walk this morning. I was really impressed with [USER=54609]@Vosh68[/USER] rattling off all the versions/iterations of the JPX line. Truly impressive.
Also hearing talk about only keeping the JPX Forged if it had to happen really piqued my interest. I was already lining things up to get the 925 Forged and this podcast solidified that’s happening

It’s been a consuming thought all day for me. Sticking with the HMPs but the black forged will be on my mind for a bit.
Always a good show when [USER=54609]@Vosh68[/USER] is on, thanks.
Watching this now.
Alright something to listen to on way home. Love listing to Vosh
Besides the ZXi7s, the S3 is the new offering of the year I am most curious/excited to hit.
Only part way through. But it is always a kick to have Vosh on the line.. Very fun listen.. So JPX forged is the way. lol

Hearing how the current forged is considered a no compromise golf club. I think I’m going to be doing the same to experience it.
Great show [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER]

Getting fit sounds like a big commitment, I just wanna take a couple swings with a demo club in a bay to experience it after listening

Path to Hell was paved with best of intentions
Really enjoyed this [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER]
My feelings on the S3’s were the same as yours, and I was writing about them, hahaha
I need those. NEED.
Ironically our club had an unannounced (at least to me) Mizuno demo day today. I hit both the S3 and JPX Forged. Both are wonderful. I learned a few things as well about my swing and lie angle needs that I honestly didn’t realize before either. Mizuno simply makes great products and employs great people.
Enjoyed the podcast on my way to work this morning. Love hearing about the thought process behind the S3 irons. Such a nice looking iron. Can’t wait to hit it and the Forged.
Enjoyed the podcast @Canadan & @Vosh68 . At the end of my 1 1/2 hr long hybrid, fairway, driver fitting. I hit the 925 Forged. Even being tired my numbers with the Forged were better than my 245 at the beginning of the fitting ? Such a great soft, firm explosive feeling with it.
Something Black may be coming my way in the not to near future.
I found it interesting that there really is no need to blend different lines across a JPX set. Each line is effectively designed to stand as a blended set on its own.
Just listened, so excited for Thursday when my forged supposed to arrive. 16 years in this new line?
Thanks very much for doing this. always a fantastic listen. Meanwhile, I sit on the fence knowing I should play the 925HMP, but REALLY want to try the 925 Forged. Currently have 923HMP, but I just might get a set of the Forged while keeping the 923’s for a bit.
I got to see the S-3 irons last week. Had no idea those were coming. They might be the cleanest sexiest looking iron I have ever seen. Gave me a modern MP-30 vibe, which is in my Mt. Rushmore of forged muscle cavity irons.

Did the same thing after our rep did his presentation. I’m like Geez, which one of these do I want. And I have Pro 223/225 combo right now!
