Mizuno JPX-850 Forged Irons
By S. Dee Davis
Mizuno has made some subtle, but sexy changes to their players iron but switching from carbon steel to boron-infused steel, a material that is lighter and about 30% stronger than carbon steel to create a powerful iron that has many features to enhance your iron play.

Our tests noted a more penetrating ball flight, increased spin on shorter shots, and great support on thin shots with the increased steel strength. We gained 10+ yards per club.
