Sound and Feel Mizuno JPX 800 Irons- Perfect golf clubs

Sound and Feel Mizuno JPX 800 Irons- Perfect golf clubs

Having said goodbye to the MX series this year, Mizuno had the new JPX series waiting in the wings to fill the game improvement gap. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to review the new Mizuno JPX 800 Irons, since they deliver outstanding sound and feel, which help Mizuno win popularity. Read on to find more about the irons.

 

Much Praised Look and Feel

Though distance and forgiveness were key design goals/intentions, Mizuno’s engineers didn’t forget what has made them so popular – that much praised sound and feel. They are a big jump into the game improvement category for Mizuno Golf.To achieve their high standard for these qualities, Modal Analysis and Harmonic Impact Technology was used to tune everything to perfection. As a side note, you may not be aware, but the other major contributor to the sound and feel is the Grain Flow Forging process, proving that this quality is a consideration from the very beginning.

Unique Metallurgical Savvy

The fact is simply that Mizuno, like several other companies, have figured that alpha maraging steel makes a hotter iron face than does titanium. An iron’s face does not allow enough space for the spring-like effect to take place with titanium. It takes a driver or an over-sized fairway metal in order for that to happen. Mizuno, whose metallurgical savvy has been well known for years, have come up with a super hot alpha maraging steel alloy, and found a way to poind it so thin that the face has noi choice but to act like a spring on impact. Whether you buy into the hype of “Max COR Technology” or not, the fact remains that the science behind it is very good, and that Mizuno has found a way to make their JPX 800 Irons faces thinner, and thus springier. 

 

From Mizuno

The JPX-800 is an iron specifically designed to be amazingly forgiving and explosively long. The unbelievable distance of the irons is achieved by combining MAX COR Technology, Hot Metal™ Face construction, and an exotic pocket cavity to hit the maximum allowable limits for energy transfer, far exceeding previous Mizuno irons, and the competition.

An aggressive triple cut sole ensures solid ball striking from all types of lies, and a multi-material cavity badge provides tuned impact sound with enhanced feel and sharp looks. The JPX 800 Irons utilize the world’s most advanced game improvement technologies to help the serious mid to high-handicap player score like never before.

 

Overall, these irons are the new flagship of Mizuno, for they boast all the unique features of the brand. If you have used Mizuno golf clubs and feel great about them, these irons will be a great choice to replace your previous clubs.

The large clubhead and deeper box structure makes the broad sweet area of the shaft, forged by soft iron, possible. The balance weight design, by adopting tungsten steel alloy in the middle of its bottom, realizes the much lower center of gravity and higher MOI(moment of inertia). Restrain the sway by hitting, bring forceful flight and extend the flight distance

From Golfers:First of all, let me say this club is very well made. I know this is kind of personal, but the clubhead shape and size is perfect for me… not bulky bullet shaped aerodynamics, nor weird dented crown (like cobra’s or cleveland hi-bore’s). Just very classic. I bought this club at a very fair price (120 US$ used), and the clubhead was in mint condition. At first I was having problems with the grip (golf pride m-21) that felt way too thick for me. I’ve read on forums that many people think the same about this grip (maybe it is designed for thinner butt shafts).

Morover I have small hands, so a tendency to fade the ball increased to a slice that was driving me crazy. Clearly I was not “releasing” enough before impact because of this. So I switched to a thiner Taylor Made Grip (plus some corrections to my backswing), and problems are totally gone. Now I’m able to hit dead straight, or with a mild draw. The Fujikura shaft is very stable, and I’m not afraid to hit it harder, like with my previous driver. Raw distance is not really important for me (since I really need accuracy to improve my game), but with a 95 to 105 mph swing I’m able to fly the ball to some respectable 260 – 290 yards. I have not played a lot with the weights, because I’m not interested in correcting sidespin, but I would like to try other “neutral” setups in the future, specially 1-6 to decrease backspin (very valuable in windy conditions). One last thing: I also tried this driver with the stock Mizuno shaft, which is lighter, and I was able to hit it a little longer, but not as consistent as with the fuji shaft. This club will be in my bag for a long time (probably until mizuno releases something newer).

In such a case, you should pay a visit to http://www.mygolfwholesale.com for further information, as far as I know they supply golf clubs through a golf wholesale method.

Which is Better for My Golf Game? Graphite Golf Shafts or Steel Golf Shafts?

Which is Better for My Golf Game? Graphite Golf Shafts or Steel Golf Shafts?

Shafts for golf clubs are primarily made of either steel or graphite. The steel shafts are made from a carbon steel alloy and protective chrome plating is applied to prevent it from rusting. A graphite shaft can also be called a composite shaft because it made from multiple layers of carbon fiber and epoxy resin holding the layers together. There are even some shafts made of both steel and graphite. However, you are probably wondering which is best for you?

Steel shafts have been used for golf clubs since the 1920’s, although earlier versions can be

dated back to the turn of the 20th century. Graphite shafts are a relatively new material used in golf, dating back to the late 1960’s, but didn’t gain widespread acceptance until the mid 1980’s. Both materials are used for some of the following reasons.

Steel shafts are less expensive to manufacturer and easily able to make consistent from shaft-to-shaft. Steel shafts are made from a single material, so creating a new model is limited to geometry changes to the shaft such as the outside diameters along its’ entire length, wall thickness, distance between each step (unless it is a stepless shaft) and usage of additional metals (such as chromium, vanadium and nickel) in the alloys. Premium steel shafts cost about the same as low end graphite shafts.

Graphite shafts were originally designed to make a lightweight alternative to steel shafts. However, there are graphite shafts that actually weigh more than some steel models, but this is very rare. Steel shafts range from approximately 90g to 130g, while graphite shafts can be a low as 39g. The most popular weight range of graphite shafts for woods is 60-70 grams and for iron shafts the weight is closer to 70 – 80 grams. One of the biggest advantages to graphite shafts is their lighter weight.

Since the graphite shafts are generally lighter than steel shafts, there is a potential for greater distance because they may be able to be swung slightly faster. Most graphite shafted clubs are assembled longer in length than standard steel-shafted clubs. Golfers that tend to be less consistent may find the steel shafts to give them greater control. But for those golfers, such as ladies and seniors, who need additional length to enjoy the game better, graphite shafts are a welcome alternative.

Another advantage of graphite shafts over steel is from a design standpoint. As earlier stated, graphite shafts are manufactured from multiple layers of carbon fiber. Each layer can be a different modulus (strength) material and can be applied at different angles to contribute independently to the stiffness or reduction in twisting along the length of the shaft. This allows graphite shaft manufactures almost limitless possibilities in new designs.

Because of the various materials able to be used in the manufacturer of the golf shaft, there is a much greater range in pricing as well. An inexpensive graphite shaft may cost .00, while the most expensive shaft can cost as much as 00.00! Although most graphite shafts normally found in – range. Expect a club with a graphite shaft to cost more than with a steel shaft.

This is one reason why you so the majority of golfers have both steel and graphite shafted clubs in their bag. Greater than 90% of all drivers have graphite shafts in them. This is because the driver is designed for maximum distance and is much larger and easier-to-hit than they were just a few years ago. For fairway woods, more than 80% are equipped with graphite shafts as players tend to match the driver with the same type of shaft. Golfers, who tend to hit the ball a long way and/or need more control, may find steel to their liking. There are a number of lightweight steel shafts available as an alternative to graphite.

Irons and wedges are usually just the opposite in the shaft material choice. Approximately 75% of irons sold today are sold with steel shafts. The primary reason for choosing steel may be an economic factor as the irons and wedges make up a great percentage of the clubs in the bag. The other reason why golfers choose steel in their irons and wedges is for control rather than increasing distance, especially among stronger individuals. However, there are a number of quality graphite iron shafts that come in all different weights and stiffness to match nearly every golfer.

The choice between steel or graphite shafts for you will be based on if you are looking at greater distance or not. Greater distance will come at a greater cost, not only economically, but for those who already don’t hit their ball very straight, hitting the ball further may even compound the problem. Make sure to make the choice wisely based on your personal goals and current tendencies.
