Mizuno JPX921 Forged Irons Detailed Review
Design and Technology
From a design perspective, it doesn’t get much better than the Mizuno JPX921 irons. Their head profile is compact with a thin top line that gives you confidence when you address the ball. Minimal offset contributes to the classic look as well.
It’s a widely held belief that Mizuno makes some of the finest forged clubs in the game. Chromology forging in the JPX921 irons only furthers that reputation. These irons feel like a knife going through hot butter when you hit them. The advanced forging process also creates faster ball speeds and provides more forgiveness than previous Mizuno iron lines.
Stability Framing positions mass in the irons’ perimeter, with some added weight in the toe. The result is unmatched stability through impact and untold forgiveness.
In the cavities of these irons, you’ll find a milled slot that’s larger than in previous irons. This slot not only adds to the forgiveness equation, it makes the JPX921s extremely stable through the hitting area.
In short, there’s no stone left unturned in the technology or design with the JPX921 irons.

Our Experience
I’ve been a fan of Mizuno clubs for as long as I can remember. The attention to detail and premium craftsmanship that go into every club they make are unparalleled.
The JPX921 forged irons are no different. While these clubs have the look and feel of a high-end “player’s” iron, they’re plenty forgiving for golfers of all abilities.
I was especially impressed with the aesthetics of these irons. Their straight lines, forged finish, and compact profile scream sexy. Not to mention the fact that they just look like they were meant to be behind a golf ball.
The responsiveness these clubs afford is unlike anything else too. Pure shots are heavenly, and even the mishits still feel solid. That speaks to JPX 921’s forgiveness too.
Even though these clubs are a couple years old, they remain some of my personal favorites.
Conclusion
Out of all the major club manufacturers, Mizuno is arguably the quietest when it comes to marketing. Perhaps that’s because their clubs sell themselves. They’re just that good.
Even though they’re a couple years old now, the JPX921 forged irons remain some of the most finely tuned, well-built irons on the market.
The best part is that they’re suited for just about anybody. If you have the chance to hit these irons for any reason, do it. It’ll be an experience you won’t forget any time soon.
