Why We Like It
- A multi-material clubhead (a first for the JPX line) features a thin chromoly-steel cupface for improved ball speed and tungsten weighting for precise center-of-gravity placement.
- A smaller, more controllable iron with less offset and a thinner topline than other JPX925 models.
- The sole features a beveled leading edge, high bounce and trailing-edge grind to make entering and exiting the turf easier.
- Less weight in the toe helps position the center of gravity—a desirable trait for better players who tend to strike the ball in that location.
- The topline is also part of the face forging. Along with internal ribs, this helps deliver a pleasing sound.
- Top 5 in Performance, high-handicaps.
- SPECS: 7-iron: 28 degrees; PW: 42 degrees

The head is a little too thick. It makes it easy to get it in the air but makes it harder to work it left or right. It does jump off the face but I couldn't tell where it was going.
Gary
37, Handicap 13

The badging and cavity design are gentle and don't have an edge. The set feels comforting, reserved in its acoustics, a real grab-and-guide with terrific distance. It does so well with minimal turf interaction.
Jack
35, Handicap 1

It's a big, big club. Because of the way it looks, you're going to have this predisposed notion that it's going to be hot—and it is. It's blazing. This would be really good for someone who has lost some distance. They'll make it back instantly.
Paul
63, Handicap 4

It felt more like a game-improvement iron. The wide sole made it forgiving.
Scott
37, Handicap 14

The sharp edges at address work through the turf. Definitely for someone looking to gain distance. The sound is so quite and flat but misleading given how explosive it is off the face. Plenty of distance on mis-hits and tighter front-to-back dispersion.

Megan

Would definitely put them in my bag. Really high launching and seemed effortless to hit. The sound was like a punch, a little higher in pitch but very satisfying with great feedback.
Thomas
60, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
It was very easy to hit a high, straight ball and get great turf interaction. I like the simple badging. It gets a little busy, but you don't see a whole lot of it at address so it's not distracting. It performed like a kind of set-it-and-forget-it club.
John
55, Handicap 11

My ball flight was nice and high and super long, adding a ton of distance. I felt strong holding the club. Also, it felt really soft off the face for how far they were going.
Sándor J.
36, Handicap 9
2 years testing
It's a good-feeling club and I like the way it looks. There was a smooth transition between ball and grass. I could hit this club all day and I don't think I'd be sore
Jason
48, Handicap 0
10+ years testing
A little bubbly looking, big and round. When you look down at address, you can see the back of the club, almost like a hybrid. It had a very firm feel off the face.
Skylar
26, Handicap 7
2 years testing
These have good weight distribution—not too heavy in any particular spot. I really got good ball flights and enjoyed the progression of how the ball launched into the air.
It also flew a competitive distance. It felt soft off the face, but you could work the ball and have total control. Super forgiving. If you missed it, it just went a little shorter. Super consistent.
RC
63, Handicap 7
2 years testing
Overall, I didn't care for the topline that was a little too thick at setup, but I like the gloss-matted look. I was able to get good distance numbers. I was definitely able to get performance out of this iron. No real mis-hits. Very forgiving throughout.
Shane
36, Handicap 15
5 years testing
There was no feeling of club-turf interaction, like every shot was off a tee. And it took off like a bullet train—effortless height with tons of velocity. I got a great descent angle, too. Every shot seemed like my best shot of the day. Can I take these home in my suitcase?
Ryan
46, Handicap 14
2 years testing
My distance gain was awesome but inconsistent. It felt a bit hot, to be honest. The ball flight was penetrating, and I was able to work it both ways. Super forgiving for a distance iron.
Molly
37, Handicap 0
4 years testing
This club looks and feels a little too game improvement. Launches the highest so far. With that came a bit less forgiveness. Shots sprayed in both directions. I had forgiveness in distance but not direction. It also felt bulky in the hands and I felt I had to work more to get it back to the ball.
Alan
30, Handicap 1
1 year testing
It maybe comes close to being too hot. It just comes out absolutely steaming off the club. This thing will just go and go and go.
Alejandra
26, Handicap 5
4 years testing
It gives you the confidence you will hit good shots. No distractions. That said, it wasn't particularly forgiving. The dispersion of mis-hits was too wide. I got a long-lasting click sound at impact.
Robert
28, Handicap 2
1 year testing
Nothing overly outstanding or negative on the look. Hottest of the group I tested. Bad swings went my normal distance. The issue was the loud sound. It sounded like slapping leather—full, loud and high-pitched. If I could get over that, the lower, hot flight and workability are all there.
Jin
29, Handicap 13
1 year testing
It's heavy in the hands. I feel like the club is spinning in my hands at impact. On solid shots, there is a satisfying thud sound. Because it's heavy, I feel like it adds a lot of distance. The ball flies very high. It's forgiving and it feels like you have autopilot on.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3
10+ years testing
I love the feel-and-sound combination with this club. It was pleasant. Ball-club interaction? You hit and you see it flying off the face with a piercing flight and it would come down really soft toward the target. Put it on the toe and you still got the same sensation in terms of feel.
David
66, Handicap 8
1 year testing
It seemed like the entire clubface was the sweet spot. I had no trouble finding it. I got nice high shots that didn't give up any distance.
Matt
27, Handicap 5
1 year testing
Extremely bulky club with a muted sound and a firmer face. It looks like it would be forgiving. There's a sweet spot that gives you that lighter flush noise, but it's tough to find.
Alex
40, Handicap 11
6 years testing
The face was hot and the ball explodes off the face. My shots almost touched the clouds. It's not super forgiving but the sweet spot felt big enough that you could consistently hit acceptable shots. Everything felt a club to a club-and-a-half longer. There was a firm, springy feel off the face.
Wayne
60, Handicap 6
2 years testing
Classify this as consistent but not necessarily outstanding. One of the things that distracted me a little bit is that you can see the back edge. It sticks out a little and I didn't love that cavity-back look. Still, this would be a great club to have considering how forgiving it is.
Matt
52, Handicap 11
3 years testing
Distance is the name of the game with this club, producing about 10 yards extra for me. It did that, in part, with a fairly low, piercing ball flight. I'd be a bit nervous about holding greens with it, but if all I wanted to do was pray at the altar of distance, this is where I would go.
Ryan
49, Handicap 10
7 years testing
It really performed getting the ball up into the air and gliding through the turf with ample distance. The club is really light in your hands.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5
2 years testing
The short irons really got the ball in the air for soft-landing approach shots and were workable left to right, which is rare for me. The low number irons just catapult off the face on center hits with almost no feedback.
Anand
42, Handicap 6
10+ years testing
I couldn't miss a shot. It launches the ball high. If you want to carry any distance over water, you can have the confidence to do it. It produced the longest 5- and 7-iron shots for me. I was able to rip them. The only thing I didn't like was sound and feel. Firmer and louder than I want.
Daniel
33, Handicap 12
5 years testing
The triangular shape feels like there's a lot to work with—very comfortable with a slightly wider sole. It's a very forgiving club with electric ball speed and a penetrating ball flight. It's easy to turn over. A lot of energy off the face let it power through the wind.
Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
I love that it's not compact but big enough to instill confidence. You feel like a better player hitting it, but you're actually cheating. It's forgiving and powerful. Distance is upper-echelon, right up there with longest I hit it. Feels so good at impact—a nice cushy feel. There's no harshness anywhere along the face. You can tell if you mis-hit it, but not much.
Wei
54, Handicap 13
9 years testing
It's very pleasant to look at, everything about it seems to convey the same message: These are going to be fun to hit. The sound and feel were soft but lively, a true pleasure. Well-struck shots and slight mishits seemed to hit the window that I was looking at. Carry distances were above average.
BK
41, Handicap 1
9 years testing
These were very forgiving. This is for a player who wants to transition from game-improvement stuff. Less intimidating than other players-performance stuff. The sole acts like bounce on some of the heavy shots. That’s great. Very high launching and easy to get that. The sound is negligible, which is good.
