I\u2019ve been through Mizuno irons since I was a kid, from the TP-9s and 11s to the MP-68s and 54s, and I have to say that for a cavity blade this new boron-forged version is up there with them.<\/p>\n<p>The JPX850 forged coped with three great links courses, including the toughest of them all in Royal St Georges, as well as all the weather conditions that Kent could throw at it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #6f0\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/06\/JPX850-Forged_Upright.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4011\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/06\/JPX850-Forged_Upright.png\" alt=\"JPX850-Forged_Upright\" width=\"300\" height=\"610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/06\/JPX850-Forged_Upright.png 300w, https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/06\/JPX850-Forged_Upright-147x300.png 147w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Technology:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mizuno have used a new material in the production of its JPX850 forged blade \u2013 the steel is 30% stronger, allowing Mizuno to produce one of their thinnest faces to date. This technology has helped increase the speed with which the ball leaves the clubface at impact, giving you extra distance on each club.<\/p>\n<p>By keeping its grain flow and incorporating the thinner boron face, Mizuno have not only kept their trademark feel at impact but have now added ball speeds off the face that we have seen achieved in modern club-manufacturing techniques.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #6f0\"><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>What all this means is that not only are you gaining extra yardage with each club, helping you control the ball better and play your second shots into greens with a lower club, but it also means you don\u2019t have to forgo that great feel at impact to achieve it.
