Mizuno JPX-800 Pro
By S. Dee Davis
Serious golfers know that the Japanese make great steel and that Mizuno is a serious players club. Mizuno uses a Grain Flow Forging process during manufacture in the JPX-800 Pro that is designed to provide that soft, consistent feel we look for irons. Ball down in a divot? No problem due to this clubs triple cut sole design that is made to provide good contact no matter what type of lie. Of course, this also causes some unforced errors in soggy soil if the club digs in too fast. This club provides a low deep center of gravity for increased forgiveness and a cavity back design for extra distance. The offset is progressive (more offset on longer irons). Overall, just a very strong set of clubs that will not break the bank. A couple of pros (Charles Howell III) even play the set even though is is made for 4 – 20 handicappers. Price is around $800.
