- The Mizuno JPX 921 Forged Irons Review.
Alex Etches tests the next iron in the new Mizuno JPX 921 range, the Mizuno JPX921 Forged Irons.
The iron that's going to appeal to the majority of golfers, this forged iron is the all-rounder, with soft feel thanks to its forging process, high-MOI, and COR in a small head construction.

Hey Guys, I’m Alex Etches and I’m a golf professional and product reviewer. If you don’t know me, I started playing golf from 10 years old, turned professional at 22 in the UK, and have been creating entertaining and informative golf content on different platforms for the last 10 years. My home is now AUSTRALIA and I hope to take you around some of the best golf courses from down under.
On this channel, you can expect many fun reviews and videos. From testing out some crazy golf clubs to the latest product releases which include TaylorMade, Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Titleist, and many more...
I also do lots of traveling and will bring you along the journey with me. With Golf Vlogs from the UK, the US, and many other locations it never gets boring on tour with #TEAMAL!
Anyway, enough about me - If you’re new to the channel, or have been with #TEAMAL for a while, write a message down in the comment section and say Hi!
I’ve had these irons with kbs c-taper shafts for approximately 2 months coming from titleist 990 dci’s(circa 1999). I’m really loving them, they are very long and super forgiving compared to my old irons. The added distance and forgiveness have given me shots that I simply didn’t have before.
Your reaction to nearly getting a hole in 1 is priceless. Great video, Mizuno is one heck of a company. I just may test them in the future. I pray that you continue to put smiles on peoples faces. I also pray that there will be many more laughs along the way. Team Al for the win. God bless you sir
So incredibly entertaining as well as a killer display of shot consistency! Well done!
I am a Mizuno guy. Been playing them for years. These new 921's are tempting me. I am playing the 850's now. Great irons.
AMAZING! Not one shot in anyone's garden for the entire video! That's got to be a first. Forged irons just feel great, and Mizuno irons generally feel great, so I can only imagine that these feel incredible. They certainly seem to be straight.
Team FFAF representing here too!
😂😂😂😂🙏🙏
@@alexetchesgolf Team FFAF merch plz, also ordered got fitted last thursday, waiting on my forged to come. 2 more weeks i think :'(
I bought these to replace my JPX850s. I love them. I decided to go for the tours in my shorter irons (pw-7).
Very happy with the set.
Just picked up a set yesterday, love the weight of them, they feel so great to swing.
Fitted or off the rack
All I can say mate is everyone needs a golf room like yours in their castle!
If I ever get to Australia, I want to tee it up with you Al! I’m sure I would be in stitches the entire round. #TeamAL
Just got fitted JPX forged, went through a number of forged club heads and shafts, the JPX held a tight pattern, most of the stats were were all in the same range, but the JPX forged pattern of landing was very tight ....ordered with 60gr shaft -1deg lie, .25short, mid high flex, golf pride mid size grip....perfect, single digit hdcp
If I bought a set of irons every time Alex gushed over a new set I'd have 82 sets and an ex-wife.
😂 I’m sorry!
I would be homeless as well lol 😂
They can’t stand up to the manufacturers otherwise no new clubs to test. It’s a self perpetuating marketing trick to take our money.
@@alexetchesgolf Love your review! What would you say JPX 921 Forged vs MP20 MMC? which one would be your pick?
Think of all the golf you would be playing.
My fitting for these in a few weeks. Can’t wait. 🤩
How do you like the clubs? I just ordered some but a little nervous as I’ve been playing with the same set for over 10 years.
@@meaneugenm4 well I don’t think you’ll be disappointed once you get used to them. Absolutely love them. Feel is just lovely. Enjoy ⛳️
It's always worth it to hear the cellophane come off a new club head. The longer it takes the better the feel!
Finally a Gulf screen where I could watch my slices to the end
As always, great vid Al. Lots of comments about getting them and bending them weaker. I don’t understand why. Just hit the club number that goes the distance. If they’re carrying longer, but, as you said, descending more steeply, then they won’t roll out as much anyways.
I love my 921 forged. Love em. They feel soft as hell on flushed shots, similar to my old mp-59s. Speaking of, the 921 forged clubheads are even smaller than my old mp-59s, believe it or not. Sole to top line is 3mm larger on the 59s, top line is 2mm thicker as well. The sole on the 59 is far smaller though. Despite the small size of the 921 forged head, I still feel confident over the ball with em. They’re a fabulous iron.
What I really love about the 921 Forged is how tight my dispersion is. I never, ever, miss far right or far left. All my shots with these irons are very consistent distance-wise as well. Great irons.
You got fitted or off the rack
@@matt7iron I got fitted.
Very few of your video colleagues have the sense of humor you have. Don't change anything !! LOL :)
Thinking a combo set of HM Pro 5-7 or 8 and Forged 8-9 through GW. Just adjust the lofts slightly so they work together.
July 2021....Yes, I wanted these irons 4 thru PW but the price tag of $1299+ tax shunned me away.
I went to Cobra Golf direct and customized my own set with the Radspeed 4..5..9..PW combined with Speedzone 6..7 and 8 iron. All for under $800 and I am 100% satisfied 😁
These are on sale for ~$850 now and still are better looking than the new ones
Like the video. A set I’d buy without thinking would be the 921 Forged with traditional lofts.
Your too funny, great video. Just got my used JPX Forged, can’t wait to put them to play.
this guys is having so much fun its hilarious
Love the sound effects. Haha. If Alex Etches says it works then it works
You're the best golf youtuber ever.
Preorder on these is in! Awesome review AE...thank you
Imagine how good that 4i would be with just blue m&ms in it😜
I just had the same issue with the plastic.🤬 I've hit the 7 and PW so far. Loved them. Medal on Saturday to give them all a hit. Can't wait.
P
The 921 forged is the biggest metallurgical advancement in the golf industry in.... a long time.
Great Video Al. Unbelievable stats.
As you have tested all, I would be interested in your Order of merit from these 3 offering pls Srixon ZX7 / Titliest T100s / Mizuno JPX 921 Tour ?
Al always entertaining this one was priceless👏👍😜can't wait to see you do the rest of the range.🏌⛳️
Cheers from NorCal
First time coming across your channel. You made me lol at the “fast for a fatty” part so I liked and subbed
Mine are on order, ty.
Thought you finally missed the green at 5:56 just to see it nearly go in the hole 😂😂😂 thats better marketing then Mizuno could have hoped for.
Please do a 921 Tour vs Srixon ZX7 vs 921 Forged video. I think I have the same thoughts about offset as you and heel to toe length.
You sounded like the Lucky Charms leprechaun there at the end with the “ooooh, bit of a pull.” :) Great vid!
I have the JPX Forged 900 do you think there is a big difference in feel?
Really looking forward to trying these out myself, can't wait to see you put one through the screen Al😂 They're pretty hot from what I've seen so far 👍🏻
Al, you didn't say anything about the wrapper tech. They must have infused it with chrome molly and strengthened the moi significantly over previous wrapper models. I reckon you could have left the wrapper on and it would still be there after those shots 😁
Trying to forget about it mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fitted for these on the 8th. Can’t wait for them to arrive. Felt amazing
@@Paul-ip4nr Hi Paul. Sadly still waiting mate. Should be due end on feb. Can’t wait.
@@Paul-ip4nr Haha. Afraid so Paul. Not being able to play due to covid making it slightly easier but they can’t come quick enough 😂. Enjoy mate. I think they are superb.
Finally arrived after a very long delay and they are just 😍😍😍
@@Paul-ip4nr Glad you’re enjoying them. Really are a great iron. Good luck.
Toe2Toe: JPX921 Forged vs. MP20 HMB please🙏🏻😇
No!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding, I’m on it!
@@alexetchesgolf YESSSSS! Not kidding
Alex what will you game atm?
I JUST made the move from the mp20s mmc to the jpx921. No comparison, the JPX is superior. Went from MP20 MMC's to JPX 921 Tour.
Just order these did a round with demos an they are the best I have ever hit
ALex; Does Brenda love these clubs. Hey I play PXG clubs not interested in ever changing but I love your videos so much I take the time to smile and laugh. Your a good man, be safe!
I’ve been using the 2016 JPX EZ Forged irons since 2017 and I think it’s time for a new set and considering these. Im a 12 handicap and want to stick with Mizuno, have any other good suggestions?
I can so relate to the boss level- taking the rapper off on the parking lot off of the new club that I bought afterwork and left it in the trunk so wifey doesn’t find out 😂
😂😂😂
Nice video, Al. Out of the 921 lineup which set is your favorite?
You are a machine Al. I think I might have found my pot of gold at the end of that rainbow. Then again, HM Pro to come.
Will be on the course, under rain probably, golf holidays by the sea 😅 Have fun all👍
One of the great rivalries forming, Al vs wrapper.
😂😂 I think it’s going to be one of the most one-sided rivalries of all time!
Ok I watched this 921 forged and the 921 tour videos….so which one would you put in your big?
Are these a huge jump from the hot metals? I got fitted for the hot metals but would much rather have these if its not that much different
I’m hoping this means I can pick up 919 forged on the cheap now 👌🏽👌🏽
me too lol
@@gst87 sold out at mizuno, you may get stock issue from your local golf shop
No chance they are sold out everywhere
They are kinda rare in my part of the world too, but I did see a JDM version on retail at a golf department store two weeks ago. Maybe check out Golftec?
Yeah every set that I’ve found are all regular shafts. Only thing I found was £599 for a set of tours in stiff at a golf centre but not sure I’m tour standard 😂
So - 921 Forged or MP20-HMB’s and why, please? 😁
921's! The HMBs dont feel as good bud!
The Mizuno 921 Forged irons have a more forgiving strike when I tested with Mizuno 10 out of 10 shots flushed ✅ the HMB’s felt softer because of the copper underneath but mis hits are punished > 5 out of 10 flushed > it’s was a close decision but I went with a more forgiving and easier 921 forged rather than the larger hollow blade 🤗 a independent golf shop owner told me the forged was for a better player 🤗 the HMB’s look sleek and sexy but the performance of the 921 Forged was much better ✅ plus I think 💭 the hold value would be higher with the 921 forged because it will suit 80% of golfers rather than maybe 10% of golfers with the HMB’s 🤗
Went in to buy HMB and came out with 921 Forged. Obviously the 921 are stronger lofted but I got no gains from HMBs over my 0311 irons. Too much spin for me really. I needed to reduce spin some. I have a 50° decent angle so no issue holding greens. 921 was more forgiving and both were pretty close in feel. I bought 921.
Rally appreciate all the feedback, guys
Clubs look awesome!
Have mine ordered already 😁😁
Nicccceeeee!!
These are on my very short list for 2021...my 850 Forged are getting long in the tooth. P770, 921 Forged, or...? Being a Mizuno loyalist, the 921 at at the top of said list.
What did you get?
@@jackvliet Nothing, yet. It's been too cold here. Unfortunately, Srixon had to enter the mix, so my decision is going to be further complicated. I think the P770 is out of the mix, now, and it'll come down to either the 921 Forged or a ZX 7/5 combo set.
@@brianforrester9670 I've heard great things about the srixons, good luck with your golf this year!
That set up is amazing, what projector and screen is that?
Team FFAF in the house. Rumor has it AL is still hitting 7 iron shots. Sausage fingers not made for taking off tight plastic😂😂😂 and yes I speak from experience 😎
Shot 9277449472737439949944847 still without a hole in one
great irons. just got mine. now i have to figure how not to hook nippon modus stiff 120....these are auto left...
I got the jpx921 and they are amazing. Compared the the g710 much much better feel and sound. Compared to the t300 very similar I would say the Hot Metals are a little more forgiving and longer for me and similar feel and sound.
You are iron Byron! awesome display of center strikes...I hope some of it is the club and not just you...I will demo them soon thanks for the entertainment
Love this channel. Assuming this is far from London.
“Hit me with your best shot” 😂 Great review, thanks!
Wow. These look amazing.
Sexyyyyyyyyyy!!!
FFAF 😂. I just bought these. Going to be a long 4 weeks waiting on them. Super smooth when you hit them. The shaft fitting system they have is great. Dead on right.
You might have to wait more than that :(
Such a great review 😂. Great work
You're originally from the UK, right? Then all that should matter is looks, followed by looks, and then, finally, looks. 😊
Test the jpx921 forged vs p770!
Hey Alex, What your kind shaft is Nippon 120?
I'm in for a fitting tommorow with the 921 tour and forged, watch both your videos and paused on your 7 iron stats. It's freaky how consistent you were it gave a good insight for launch, peak height and spin which is mainly important for me as a high launch/spinner. Which would you personally put in the bag, Tour, Forged or the P770's?
Matt Chrich interested in the p770/921 forged comparison as well.
I would have given this two thumbs up if I could! 👍👍
Great review. Had me cracking up.
How do they compare to the HMB?
That goes on the list.
How do they compare to the JPX 900 forged?
Must have child proof wrappers on those irons 😂. It seems Mizuno just gets better and better. And Al, 22 shots in a row on the green... awesome 😎.
Come for the golf. Stay for the singing!
These are on my short list!
I know you prefer the MP range so how does this compare to the mp hmb? Thanks Al!
Great video Alex. Could you answer short question? In your opinion does the harder chromoly metal in the 921 feel less ‘soft’ than the 919 forged? Cheers.
Thanks mate. I honestly couldn’t tell a difference but at the same time I have hit the 919 in some time. I’ll give it a go!
Alex Etches - GolfBox TV would really appreciate if you could do that Alex. Top man. Close to pulling the trigger on buying these.
Any joy in this request Alex? Trust you to tell the truth.
Hahaha. 22 rainbow points. Love it. Better acoustics than a U2 concert. 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 so excited about these irons
Can’t beat Bono mate! 😂
Love them Al that's why I bought the 919 Forged last year, now is it worth the upgrade??
No way
@@charliebower2473 maybe ill just keep the 919's I have eh?
Colin Schrank Yh for sure
Colin Schrank another positive is they look in a different league compared to the new ones
@@charliebower2473 you don't think the black accents make them pop and more appealing? I'm just wondering if they're longer or more forgiving. Waiting for someone to do that comparison.
Dude! The 9 shot shot shaping challenge! Should be possible with these?
What shafts do you have in these please
I cant watch your videos without being too jealous of your club speed. Great content though!!
The jealously should leave when you see where the balls usually go mate! Haha. Thanks for watching
@@alexetchesgolf if the shots on this one were to go by, i think not. Striping it buddy!!
Love the 919s! Would be rude not to try these 😂
258 yd 4 iron.. you’re a beast dude
Any direction though mate 😂 thanks bud
What’s blade like but forgiving?
Haha! Pocket knife, mate. Always handy. Great review.
Perfect length of a vid, 11-15 mins
Personally I don’t care how far the club goes just so long as it is consistent. Last pw started at 160 slowed my swing and settled at 150. New set I’m guessing they jacked with loft because it is 160 with my slower swing and can push to 175. I don’t play long enough courses for that. Now I’m carrying five wedges just to survive
The loft change to me just makes your old three your current 4
Love the videos 😂😂
Great Video.
FFAF 😂😂😂.
Would love to see you get ahold of the Ben Hogan PTX PRO irons. I’m looking at these and the BH comparison.
For the love of all things drowned in chocolate take these to the course for a video!!!!
Hey alex, i love your content, i’ll never get bored. One stupid question from me though. Is 921 line-up all considered cavity back specifically the 921 forged?
Hey mate! Thanks so much.
All are cavity backs but vary in size from Tour to HM
Alex Etches - GolfBox TV thank you for the reply 👍
@@alexetchesgolf Do you prefer the hot metal ....,,,the pro ,,, or the forged ?
Beware. The 8-Gap are not chromoly. They’re 1025E. I just received my set. I feel pretty misled by this. Contacted mizuno and they said that’s the way they were designed.
Can't wait for the hot metal irons. I like m&m peanuts.
Dude, you’re hilarious!!!!!!
Great production value!
Thanks for that. Another £700 I’m going to spend after trade in 😂🏌🏼♂️👌
Haha...Just get fitted!!
Hey Al, is there any chance you could have one of your fellow PGA pros give us an analysis of YOUR swing?
Hey mate!! Haha - crikey, there are lots of issues at the moment 😂 I try and avoid looking back at the swing
