Why We Like It
This is the epitome of a modern iron for better players. The blade length was shortened in the 6-iron through pitching wedge from the JPX921, and the topline is trimmer. On the sole, a more rounded trailing edge increases shot-making ability and makes it easier to get through the turf. As with most Mizuno irons, its “grain-flow forging” process tightens the carbon steel’s grain structure to produce a beyond-pleasant feel at impact—a reminder that you don’t have to play for pay to enjoy benefits normally reserved for tour players.

Reviews
Compact head and thin top line with a soft feel off the face. Cuts through the turf and produces a higher ball flight that doesn’t balloon or lose distance.
Ricky, 45, Handicap: +2The stability of the clubface allows you to shape shots. Center strikes feel energetic and have a predictable, mid-to-high ball flight with minimal vibration in the hands.
RC, 62, Handicap: 7Sleek and stealthy, these irons feel like they explode off the clubhead but aren’t out of control. Ball flight was consistent and confidence-inducing.
Conor, 30, Handicap: 7Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
