Mizuno JPX 900 drivers

[KT35]

I went in to hit the 917 demo yesterday and the shop had just gotten the new Mizuno Driver. I hit them both for almost an hour in the sim. I was not that impressed with the 917. However I was very impressed with the feel and look of the Mizuno. That blue head looks awesome sitting on the ground. I hit balls off the toe and heal and didn't see the big drop off in distance like the previous models.

 

I got the driver with the new speeder evolution II 569. The shaft is legit. I didn't think I would like the lighter shaft but the more I hit it the more I fell in love. I was playing the Taylormade M2 previously and my biggest complaint with that club was dispersion. I don't seem to have the problem with the Mizuno as I went straight to the course yesterday and the dispersion was much tighter. I'm very happy with the purchase so far!

 

My SS was 99-102

Did you try the heavier shafts?

I did try the heavier shafts because they didn't have yet. The only ones the had received was the 569

I got the stiff flex 569

 

Thank you, wasn't sure if maybe they offered that in x flex.

 

 

At least tell me it sounds awful, :lol:

I can't even tell you that. Honestly I kind of think it sounds like the older titilest drivers. I really like the sound. The shop is waiting on the other shafts to come in. When they do I will go try the others but I really like the 569.

[CallTaylor]

Did you buy it or were you just testing a demo on the course?

[Guileman]

Oh crap. Just when I thought I was done for the year. You post this...arrgghhh ...

Haha, we'll I had enough credit at Global Golf I pulled the trigger. So thanks for your review. Our swing speeds are similar so hopefully this works out and kicks my Titleist 915 out of the bag; has to sound better at least :lol:

[cwolfe888]

This driver is really that good like OP said. Mizuno spent a ton of time developing this. They got everything right. One of the straightest drivers I've ever hit

Ok...make that 3.. I've got a couple mph (and I mean 2) on you boys but damn if I am not motivated to make it 3 buyers by virtue of this review.

My 915 is about to get kicked out of the bag..

[Lefty431]

Just got an f6+ this year.. Since this is coming in lefty will give it a go as well!!

[Bunkersarebigcups]

Man this is tempting...

Ive been looking for an upgrade the last year and a half but couldnt find anything I liked as much as my 910.

Gotta give this a try

Make it 4. I will be getting one now

[Buzzkill]

I'll be getting too BUT I'll wait until the prices drop - already paying near retail for the hybrids and irons because I won't wait.

Oh, cmon' make it 5 :taunt:

 

 

 

More companies should offer wrx discounts because of threads like this.

Mizuno usually doesn't price drop.

[Nic1972]

I will at try the JPX 900 woods when they will be available here in Europe next February....

[KT35]

Did you buy it or were you just testing a demo on the course?

 

I bought the club. I played three rounds with it now. (Shot 80, 80, and 79) I'm extremely happy so far. I hit it as far as my old M2 and I have a much tighter dispersion. The biggest difference I have noticed after three rounds is that I feel like I have control off the head the entire swing. I guess I may have to go try ou the hybrids next.

Tempted for sure! Best price I've seen on the driver is $399 shipped at the moment.

[adamr12]

Where have you seen $399? I am seeing $599. Canada though but I know the exchange isn't that bad

Can't give up source until I decide what I'm going to do - not sure how many items seller has but I'll keep you folks posted. I'm seeing prices at $499 which must be a U.S. thing.

[jetmech879]

My God this is a good looking driver! I really don't think there is any way I won't have this driver in the bag in the next month!

I want this in the stiff shaft. Anyone tried the three different weights. how will the 60g compare to the 68g shaft. Will I see a difference as a 10 handicapper? Obviously a small weight but anything else?

[cwolfe888]

With speeder shafts the heavier you go the lower the launch. So like the 569 is listed as a mid launch,661 is listed as mid to low depending on flex, and 757 is listed as low

[johnnythunders]

Startd the year with g30 then bought an m2 too low spin and bad dispersion then got a g which is just a little better than the g30. Also had an xr16 and bertha but they were about the same as the g/g30 but didnt like the look.

 

Looking forward to trying this driver, ez and new fusion, other than that nothing looks interesting out there for 2017.

 

I think my bag is set except for driver for 2017.

[jdsuowner]

There is a JPX 900 Driver posting in classifieds if anyone is looking for one at a discount
