I am very interested in the HL's too. However, I am fearful they may be too left biased because of the amount of offset. How do they perform for you regarding shot shape?
I will stick with my Cleveland Zipcore XL, most reviews I have seen rate them above these. And reading the posts where you discover that you had already done a review on these is wonderful, "Daddy Duty" what a wonderful reason to be tired!!!!!!
Just had a fitting at sggt where these came out on top with the la golf graphite shaft which I saw you trying on their video. Great set of irons, replaced the p790 purely for more help in the longer irons
I have recently bought new clubs, (Callaway Paradym X). I still watch these review videos for the entertainment value. Keep them coming…maybe give Bobby a bit less stick though 😊
I have the 921 hot metal pros and they are the best irons I’ve had in 40 years of golf, most of which I’ve used Mizuno. I’m sure these are just as good and can be used by any handicap IMO.
I am really glad they went with a hollow body gap wedge. On my 923 hot metals they are a regular wedge and the gapping is not good for me and it doesnt feel the same. Lets be honest the "Gap" wedge is really just a pitching wedge. I get 145 y out of the pwedge and only like 110 from the gap. I definitely prefer to see it in a hollow body and match the set verses what I got.
JPX 919, 921, 923 have the same tech with better looks! I play JPX 919 with Project X Lz Graphite 4.5 shafts perfect combination. Great carry and stopping power on the greens.
I just got a set of these, but ordered them before I found out that I need another hand surgery. Only able to try them once, and really couldn't go all out. I conceded that old age meant that I should stick with the lighter 65 gram graphite shaft, rather than the heavier 85 gram version.
I do not like the look of these, but I suspect I am more of an MP range of iron player than the JPX range. Like James I loved the JPX Tour irons. As for performance, 175 yards carry with a 7i is impressive until you consider the loft of 28.5 degrees, that is a degree stronger than my i210 6i which I carry pretty much the same distance , although with less spin and has the peak height and descent angle to stop reasonably quickly on all but the hardest and bounciest of summer greens. And I do not swing my irons as fast as James does The problem for me with these irons is that the Srixon ZX4 just look so much better and perform really well.
Performance and feel improved over the 923’s. Just a shame about the looks, cos that is definitely a backwards step. But you take the performance gain all day. Might have to wait til late 2026 for the 927’s to come out - see if Mizuno can keep the performance and feel, but improve on the looks
Personally speaking, I think it’d be like hitting a ball with an air wair boot. Let’s get back to forged blades where you risk rattling your arm up to your shoulder, that’s reet golf.
@JamesRobinsonGolf well yes, but you also did one month ago..., the thumbnail is called 'PERFECT!?'. Look it up yourself. That video ended with you complaining about the 9 iron not stopping quick enough and suggesting they don't spin enough. But this video today you're saying the landing angle makes them fine...?
Hahahaha I’m an idiot and owe you an apology! 😂🙌🏼 sleepless nights on daddy duty means unproductive secondary vids! Regards to the 9-iron stopping. It’s amazing how different conditions makes such a difference isn’t it! Also I guess it’s nice to get Chris’ opinions on them I guess 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@JamesRobinsonGolf ha, no problem. Both vids are good and fair reviews and I'll likely make them my winter clubs as a result. Now have the weekend off and catch up on some sleep. 😂
So guys… turns out I have reviewed these already… good news. We’ve gone mega in depth… I need more sleep 😂
It would be nice to see them compared to the mp 245’s
I have a set of HL’s. The have transformed my game. I’m a retired disabled Vet with back and neck issues. I can now hit approach shots to the Green!
My Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal have been amazing. I sold my TaylorMade P790s, because it wasn't even close for me.

Great irons. Love Mizuno. Many upgrade options (shafts and grips) at no charge.
Another great one James, keep them coming brother. Cheers

Never knew that acoustic ribs would make the ball travel so far

Hi James. The 925 Forged is available in Japan. Any news of the UK release date as I’m waiting to upgrade my 919 Forged set.😊
Love Mizuno dating back to 1984 when I bought a set of Mizuno Pro Originals

The tours you mentioned aren’t coming in jpx anymore, that style is being left to the MP line. The forged look much better n will be out next year

Well done James 👏 😊look nice 👍
James it would have been nice to know the distance both of you were hitting in to the greens with the gap and 9 iron

Will there be a Forged & Tour version I have the 921 forged and ❤them

well wrapped up! winter has arrived. maybe time for a trip to warmer climbs
You talk about these for a 15 handicapper? But what about 5he HL s? Where do they fit? Maybe there a better fit for a 15 handicapper
Intrigued to know why you've done a 2nd review of these?
So you didn’t see me literally get them out of the wrapper in this video?
@JamesRobinsonGolf well yes, but you also did one month ago..., the thumbnail is called 'PERFECT!?'. Look it up yourself.

I've enjoyed both reviews. I'm just wondering if you done a 2nd video to put forward a different view on stopping power?
Hahahaha I’m an idiot and owe you an apology! 😂🙌🏼 sleepless nights on daddy duty means unproductive secondary vids!

Played the jpx223’s and they felt better on all strikes than my friends p770’s. Even if the p770’s look way better.
Test these vs. T350s
I love Mizuno’s I play the MP 225’s
Mizuno’s have looked awful over the last few models , the 921 range was great but these look horrible
They are mizuno so I’m sure will play well but they are ugly. Normally mizuno makes beautiful irons.
I’m first! Woohoo
This video is better than any cure for sadness. Now I always have a dose of laughter on hand🔥
Second woohoo
My love language is a well-timed pun and a steady supply of chocolate💋
Fifth whoohoo
I tried to repeat the trick from this video, and now I have a new record - lots of laughs and a minor disaster💋
