I love how passionate he is about the clubs, and I have to think it’s because he’s one of the engineers designing the clubs. He doesn’t come off as a “salesman” trying to say why his clubs are better than everything else
Was between two sets of irons at a fitting and honestly a not-insignificant factor for me choosing Mizuno was seeing Vosh do these kinds of videos without all of the nonsense corporate speak. Guy seems genuinely passionate about the product, and Mizuno recognizing that and letting him be a major face for the brand makes me believe they know what they’re doing.
Vosh is an all-time channel great! Best promoter with real talk and I feel he never fakes it with the classic "best iron for everyone ever" fluff and admits there are specific demographics and needs for each club. Such a class act
Vosh’s appearances on UA-cam has had an impact on a lot of people like me. I’d never considered Mizuno as an iron brand for me, but having owned the Pro 225 and JPX921 Forged, they have one of the nicest lineup of clubs for golfers of all abilities. I’d put Srixon as an underrated brand that has gotten some much deserved love on UA-cam as well. Kudos to channels like TXG for showcasing all brands no matter their marketing budgets or market share.
Just upgraded from the 800 pros to the 923 forged. They feel and look like a dream, only hit on the sim can’t wait to get them out on turf this season!
I am always impressed with Chris. Mizuno is in my opinion the most skilled manufacturer of golf clubs. The company has a complete understanding of how to turn metal into playable art. I will always have Mizuno in my bag.
I love Mizuno irons. What stood out for me was the sound at impact. The Forged sounded great, but the Tour sound was so soft that I could almost feel it. Great video.
I’ve been playing the tours for the last several months. It’s one of the absolute best irons I’ve ever felt. A lot of similar characteristics of the 220 series with (imo) better looks and feel. I’ve always been a taylormade/Titleist player but these made me change faster than I’ve ever made an iron change.
I moved from 221, which I love, to jpx 923 tour. The tour may be the best iron I've ever played from Mizuno... And I've played them since late 90s. Great job Mizuno! The second best being the 221. #3 is the mp32.
923 Forged looking like a hell of a club for me. If TXG are able to get their hands on a Rapsodo MLM2, I'd love to see how its data compares with the higher-end launch monitors that you use in your studio. A lot of consumers are waiting for a viable home solution that delivers data within an acceptable tolerance of the more premium offerings. It'd make a great video to see how close Rapsodo have come with their latest offering.
I mean Mizuno with this insane somehow near identical shapes but tailored descent angles and stopping distances and consistency... and then the sound! I can FEEL the softness through the screen. This is why for my 1st proper good set Im going to be putting these forged clubs in the bag. I cant believe theyve managed to make a ball fly like this and give so much tailored variety of character through the irons with really (ironically) no variation in flight. Seriously its such a crazy crazy sellingpoint I still cant process what I watched.
Love the vid and clearness of explanation from Vosh. Bought MP223 last and absolutely love them. Would be interested how Jpx923Forged/Tour compare to MP 223
I’m playing the 923 Forged. I’m going to test metal woods later this year and for the first time I’ll include Mizuno. Just keep hearing good things about the entire lineup.
Question. I see the 923 Forged irons are 1 degree stronger than the 921 Forged in the 7-W. I assume I’d get 5 extra yards of carry with these clubs, but what about the 4-6 irons? Are they any longer than the 921 Forged?
I love that the TXG channel has built a relationship with these leading brands. I just feel the reviews will have more bias in them. Especially with the review taking place in the presence of a brand ambassador. Having said that, these clubs are money!
Is there going to be a combo SEL set for us lefties ? They sure look and sound great on the video. Well done Mizuno. Let’s not forget Ian’s great ball striking.👍👍
probably 1% better than what you have. In Srixon's case, a lot of people think the previous ZX line is better than the MKII. Golf clubs are like iphones... every year or two companies release the next version. Unless it's a whole new model, it's probably not worth changing your set until a couple generations of changes, unless you just love shiny things
I was always afraid to even try a Mizuno iron because you always hear they are clubs for better players. Had a fitting last fall and purchased the 223s (5i-PW) and I LOVE THEM!!! may never buy another brand at least for a long time... May buy a 225 4-iron... or another wedge not sure at the moment. Now, I just need to find a good Mizuno stand bag
Ian: I noticed your new backswing trigger with forward press... Any reason for that? I'm finding the DJ style press/trail elbow move very comfortable so far... It seems to enhance rythm too.
This gets me exceited about getting fitted for new mizuno irons. Currently playing the MP-63 with Nippon 1050GH shafts. I spin them way to much though, my swing has changed, time for some new clubs. Thin top line for me is a must, I do not like to look of a chunky Iron.
Great vid. Mizuno player jpx 919 tour. Curious why is it the 5 irons went the same distance between the models. I understand the 8 iron tour vs forged.
I got some MS 211 in the bag from 1989 2i to S\W in the set. still awesome clubs. I'll never play another brand of iron especially considering who is held of R&D.
I am playing the 921 forged p-5 and 4 iron hm pro. The forged are very hot...maybe too hot...but i would not trade up to 923 rather 223 pro. Love them still
I have only used mizuno irons for the last 25 years.....they really do feel different to other irons and when you hit a poor shot you know it was you or something to do with the ball.
Did a fitting w mizuno today. 7 iron jpx 923 forged. Pro modus 115 gave me a spin number of 6700 and kbs s taper 130 was 6000. Distance was same. Which is better in terms of spin ?
Wish they would model the JPX line after the 919s. This club is more like the mp line. 919 was slightly bigger and more forgiving. Give me 919s with copper.
Yep, pretty much. My concern with the 223 is that it seems like the shift into the shorter, pure cavity creates gapping issues. Interested to know if it's the same with the Forged.
Just bought a new set of JPX 921 forged irons and other than some weight moved around in the head, is there really that much difference between the 923 forged irons?? Anyone please. Thanks.
They used to have more differences. They are very similar today. 919 was a bigger longer more forgiving head. Your choice on this vs mp is just going to be looks as far as mb and tour go. You will see more differences in the forged and hot metal versions compared to 223 and 225
923 Tour is smaller and more blade like than the MP223. I loved the JPX 923 Forged at a fitting but must admit I “wanted to be in” their classic MP line and went with the 223 which I also loved. It’s funny Mizzy is really starting to blur the differences in MP and JPX lines. It’s like they’re staggered at the top. From most player like to most GI I’d go: MP221, JPX Tour, MP223, JPX Forged, MP225/JPX HMP, JPX Hot Metal
the only 2 club that's 2⁰ stronger are the pw and gw 4i forged is 21⁰ vs tour 24⁰ = 3⁰ 5i forged is 24⁰ vs tour 27⁰ = 3⁰ 6i forged is 27⁰ vs tour 30⁰ = 3⁰ 7i forged is 30⁰ vs tour 34⁰ = 4⁰ 8i forged is 34⁰ vs tour 38⁰ = 4⁰ 9i forged is 39⁰ vs tour 42⁰ = 3⁰ pw forged is 44⁰ vs tour 46⁰ = 2⁰ gw forged is 49⁰ vs tour 51⁰ = 2⁰
Honestly - how many years are these companies going to talk about sole design improvements - more bounce, less bounce, rolled leading edges, rolled trailing edges, more camber, less camber. Seems like they should've figured that out long ago.
if mizuno make the exact same mp 14s that i used to use i will not use mizuno irons i wore out the grooves from playing too much with them and i went to miuras mb 101 mizuno mp 14s if they kept making them i would not have gone to miuras
fun fact...Tiger Woods used Mizuno all the way until 1.5years AFTER he turned pro, including winning his first Masters is 1997 with them. so taking away all the big sponsor money...we know which brand is OG
What shafts are they missing. I’m 72. I’ve hit the KBS Tour Lite in regular. The Recoil ESX in reg and senior flex. I believe that Mizuno offers the Recoil 95 in reg as well. Surely you can fit into one of these ??
Vosh is consistently the most genuine brand ambassador. Absolute class act

Always fun when Mr Mizuno pays a visit on the channel👍👍
I could listen to Ian and Chris talk about clubs all day long.
I say it again, from woods to irons. Mizuno have upped their game!! Top work
I've just gone back from distance irons to the JPX 923 forged, it's like night and day. The 8, 9, P & G are absolute scoring machines.
Dude, Ian’s such a gangsta. Nothing sells golf equipment better than that Scottish accent.
This is the review I was waiting for. Really want to test that 923 Forged. Love my 921 Forged, but like the idea of the more compact head.
Loved the vid guys! Would love to see a breakdown of these vs the pro 223 because at this point I can’t really tell the difference?
Every TXG video is a lesson for me just now, superb content Ian 👍🏻
Just upgraded from the 800 pros to the 923 forged. They feel and look like a dream, only hit on the sim can’t wait to get them out on turf this season!
Great video Ian and Chris! I have the JPX 923 forged and absolutely love them! Classy iron set!
Literally have been putting off/waiting to schedule my fitting until I saw this review.
I am always impressed with Chris. Mizuno is in my opinion the most skilled manufacturer of golf clubs. The company has a complete understanding of how to turn metal into playable art. I will always have Mizuno in my bag.
Nice work, could listen to Voshal talking all day. A proper test not just hitting in a sim off mats 👍

Did you gain any distance switching to the 923 tour? I play the 221’s also but I’m wanting a little bit more distance with my irons
@@taylormullins9974 not really.. they're traditional loft and not a distance club.
@@Bogeypro256 that’s what I figured. Thank you
I have the 221s as well. Thinking of doing the same. What are you noticing?
@@taylormullins9974 Try the 923 Forged. 2 degrees stronger and I hit them just as high, great spin and more distance even than HMP

Love seeing the turf interaction with outdoor hitting
Is there going to be a combo SEL set for us lefties ? They sure look and sound great on the video. Well done Mizuno. Let’s not forget Ian’s great ball striking.👍👍
The 921 tours are the best iron I have ever used. I can’t imagine how good these 923 tours must be

Hi Ian, thanks to you and Chris for doing this video, what shaft were you using when testing these clubs?
Currently playing the 921 Hot Metal set. Can't wait until I get good enough to upgrade to the future 925 Forged set perhaps.
Ian: I noticed your new backswing trigger with forward press... Any reason for that? I'm finding the DJ style press/trail elbow move very comfortable so far... It seems to enhance rythm too.
Ordered a set of 923 tour irons today, very excited for them to arrive!
Any chance this generation of 923 Tour will be available to the left side? I’ve always dreamed of hitting these.
Sounds like they made a combo set in the forged set. I'd still lean to the tours, but now I want to try them both.
This gets me exceited about getting fitted for new mizuno irons. Currently playing the MP-63 with Nippon 1050GH shafts. I spin them way to much though, my swing has changed, time for some new clubs. Thin top line for me is a must, I do not like to look of a chunky Iron.
Chris and Ian in one video… a golfing wet dream..
I currently play the 921 tour and agree they can dig. You guys almost have me tempted to upgrade already! I’m going to give it another year lol.
Love that sound
Great vid. Mizuno player jpx 919 tour. Curious why is it the 5 irons went the same distance between the models. I understand the 8 iron tour vs forged.
With the Tour model, did you switch to the ProV1 from the ProV1x? 5 yard gain as well on the shot presented.
What kinds of lights or reflectors are you using for this setup? It looks good.
Would it be reasonable to combo set the 923 forged 7-PW and 923 Hot Metal 4-6? Looking forward to hitting both, really liked the feel of the 921's
I got some MS 211 in the bag from 1989 2i to S\W in the set. still awesome clubs. I'll never play another brand of iron especially considering who is held of R&D.
Ian's divots are goals
Not in the market for irons but I just got a set of the S23 and if these blend with the wedges I may be spending money soon.
Can't show us the club at address? lol
Beautiful irons
Mizuno uas such a great mentality, no marketing bullshit eith lake as nanes with fire and soeed and all thst bullshit. Just professionals and genuine
I am playing the 921 forged p-5 and 4 iron hm pro.

I have only used mizuno irons for the last 25 years.....they really do feel different to other irons and when you hit a poor shot you know it was you or something to do with the ball.
That forged 8 iron has a ton of spin for a strong lofted club
Did a fitting w mizuno today. 7 iron jpx 923 forged. Pro modus 115 gave me a spin number of 6700 and kbs s taper 130 was 6000. Distance was same. Which is better in terms of spin ?
What shafts where in?
Damnit I might have to upgrade my MP25s. Tough being a Mizuno fanboy :)
I think they are missing a little market share by not doing a Tour S iron. The tour iron with 2 degrees stronger loft.
Can you please do a comparison of the 923 forged vs Mizuno pro 225
Wish they would model the JPX line after the 919s. This club is more like the mp line. 919 was slightly bigger and more forgiving. Give me 919s with copper.
Does the MP 223 fit between these two?
Yep, pretty much. My concern with the 223 is that it seems like the shift into the shorter, pure cavity creates gapping issues. Interested to know if it's the same with the Forged.

About to order srixons but man this video has me doubting 😅
Why did you add offset to the tours? They already had plenty for a CB just above a pure blade, they didn’t need more.
Because it will be a 223 than. Those look so damn similar already.
@@tomvankamperdijk4392 the tour is a smaller and more compact iron than the 223. It doesn’t make any sense to add offset to a CB borderline blade.
I used to live about 10 minutes from TPC Sugarloaf. Miss that place.
Could these dethrone my PXG Gen 5 Players? We shall see.
How in the actual f was there no view from address? or did i miss something?
I was very annoyed when I hit the 923 forged and it felt better than my 921 😂
Whatever Mizuno pays Chris isn’t enough
100% agree … Chris is part of why I wanna buy the forged and get out of the cobra irons I’m playing
Ian's looking like matthew wolff with the dip
I love my mizuno es21 wedges
Ironic, Mizuno using Titleist ball. I feel there’s a window there to push sales of Mizuno brand golf balls too. 🤔
I wish they made the tour version for lefties 😢
What’s the differences between the Mizuno Pro line up and the JPX lineup ?
Jpx tend to be more forgiving and cavity back as opposed to blades.

Also 923 tour is proper solid forged iron 1025 etc...with copper... the 223 is chromoly which is not as soft, I suspect.

Ian you’re swinging very fast in this video… were you working on speed last summer? Seems like you’re swinging just a hair slower these days.
First
My goodness, get to the point and drop the fluff talk gentlemen!!
haha Voshall said "This is Mizuno Pro" in the conclusion. Go back to making JPX it's own line. You already have MP.
I don't buy Mizuno irons. Their selection of shafts for older golfers is pathetic.
What shafts are they missing. I’m 72. I’ve hit the KBS Tour Lite in regular. The Recoil ESX in reg and senior flex. I believe that Mizuno offers the Recoil 95 in reg as well. Surely you can fit into one of these ??
@@jherl8307 Agree with your comments, Mizuno has a great offering of shafts and don't upcharge for everything like some other manufacturers.
"NoThINg FeELs LiKE A MiZuNo...." (Yes....there are plenty of irons that 'feel' just as good).
So what was the difference?
I have the 221’s but wonder what benefit I would get from the Tour. Anyone tried those together?
