How do you improve on one of the more popular game improvement lines of the past few years? If you're Mizuno, you don't - instead, you pull all the great ideas and technology from your assets around the world, and build something new.
Mizuno has always made very good game improvement irons, but we’ve mostly been recognized for our MP line of game enhancement products. JPX is by far Mizuno’s strongest global commitment to the game improvement category, and we took dead aim at our competitors to beat them in every category of game improvement performance, especially distance and forgiveness. The Mizuno JPX-800 Irons is truly an incredible iron, and players are going to be blown away by the distance gains they’ll experience versus whatever iron they are currently playing.
The incredulous look on Ryder Cup star Luke Donald's face when he first hit the latest Mizuno JPX-800 irons spoke volumes for its impact on the World's No.8 golfer.
As Mizuno's leading-ranked staff player, he had been lined up to give his endorsement to the MP-63 irons he plans to play on Tour later in the year but during a break in filming a test session, Donald also grabbed hold of a 6-iron from a set of Mizuno JPX-800 Irons, the clubs aimed at the improving club golfer.
"Wow!" he said as he smacked shot after shot down the range.
A check on his ball speed, I was told at the media launch of these Mizuno JPX-800 Irons at Bearwood Lakes recently, revealed an increase of nearly 10mph off the face of the JPX-800 and an increase of nearly 20 yards in distance compared to the new MP-63. The carry of the Mizuno JPX-800 Irons 6-iron in Donald's hands was measured at 193.3 yards, compared to 175.9 for the MP-63 and a ball speed of 135.6mph (126.5 mph).

But while distance per Mizuno JPX-800 Irons is probably the major requirement of the club golfer, for the precision demanded by Donald, known for his iron accuracy on Tour, he would have to sacrifice a certain amount of workability, meaning that the new MP-63 will be more suited to him.
