Mizuno takes new approach to adding distance to fairway woods

By Mike Stachura

The equipment world has been talking for some time about using sole geometry on metalwoods to add a springlike effect at impact, but Mizuno is taking the idea a little farther.

Its new JPX-850 fairway woods utilize an accordion shape in the front of the sole to help improve face flexibility, particularly on low-face impacts. That extra mass used to create the series of waves in the sole upfront is paired with a weight pad in the rear to expand the head's stability on high and low mis-hits, as well as heel and toe misses.

The club also attempts to enhance ball speed by using a 1770 high-strength maraging steel face. And for good measure, Mizuno adds an adjustable hosel that allows the three heads to fit eight settings each and a loft range of 10 degrees (13 to 23 degrees).

Available in November, the JPX-850 fairway woods ($250) come in 15-, 18- and 21-degree lofts with each being adjustable by plus or minus 2 degrees.
