Mizuno JPX Woods & Hybrids - long term test

[DCB]

Picked up a JPX 18° 5wood for £79.99 when Direct Golf opened in Edinburgh a couple of weeks back. Today was the first chance I've had a using it. Really pleased with my purchase. It will fit into my bag and be a very useful addition. I've had a JPX 21° 7wood in the bag for the last year as it works well instead of a hybrid or 3 iron.

As others have said, it's really easy to use, although it gets the ball up well, it isn't too high a flight, so you get a good distance out of it. It's easy to hit both off a low tee or off the deck. My one has the stock shaft and it works well for my swing speed.

Looks like the old F60 4wood has been deposed at long last.

Just back from 18 holes with Swinger, HotDogAssasin and Brookesy and it marked the first on-course outing with the Driver.

Conditions weren't favourable but better than I expected them to be. Ground was akin to concrete but not nearly as cold as I thought it would be.

Driver went really well all day and I only hit two that really cost me shots. Easy to hit and goes enough, even without a full swing (too many layers). Can't see this coming out of the bag any time soon. Hit more fairways today than I have in a long time and was 10 over through 14 in these conditions before the cold set it, the body started to seize up and the wheels came loose.

Overall very happy thus far. Can't wait to try it once it warms up a bit!

First round of the year with these clubs on a course that wasn't a total frozen tundra.

Played 18 at my old haunt, Belton Park, today and the wind was unbearable at times which caused the shot making to be tricky.

All 3 JPX clubs got an outing today. The driver was used off the majority of the tee shots and again was just a joy to hit. One tee shot was totally lashed at and ended up 150 yards sliced right, but that was down to just a horrible swing trying to keep the ball low into the wind on that particular shot. Save that and the par 5 tenth which leaked right a bit, every other tee shot with the driver found the short stuff or trickled into the 1st cut. Just an awesome club.

The hybrid and 3 wood are a similar story, shot shaping with the hybrid is a joy and I hit one of the finest 3 wood drives I've ever hit going down the 16th hole.

Further confirmation that these clubs are going nowhere.

Good reviews!! Just bought the 3 wood today and giving it its first run out tomorrow.

You will not be disappointed sir!

Aztecs, you was right. Definitely not disappointed. Didn't hit it off the tee but off the floor it was fantastic. Much better than my previous 3 wood. Definitely worth the £79 I paid for it.

79 is a bargain. Wait until you use it on the tee. I hit one of the sweetest three wood's on the 16th hole on Saturday (GB72 can attest to how nice it was!). 'Twas a thing of beauty.

I really can't get over how easy the clubs are to hit, yet at the same time can be used to work the ball.

My hybrid is rapidly becoming my go to club.
