I have been playing Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal irons and love them. The lofts are strong which I don't mind. I like the extra distance. I've always want a forged set. When I heard Mizuno has decided to stop making the JPX 919 Forged, I purchased a new set. Should I have the lofts on the Forged set adjusted to match the Hot Metal set? I intend on keeping both sets and really do not want to keep track of distances for each, which brings up another question. Do forged and cast go relatively the same distance at the same lofts?

You need to hit the other set and see how far you hit them before you make any changes. Forged vs cast makes no difference in how far you hit them, it's loft, head design, shaft weight and length, those are what can impact distance. Once you hit them all, you will know if and what needs to be adjusted. You may find that you need to alter certain irons in the set more than others to hit your desired yardages.

Because they will be "eventually" coming up with the 921's I assume.

Yeah, I believe the new JPX line is scheduled to be released in September. But who knows with everything going on if there will be supply chain issues and all that kind of stuff.

Ahhh so I imagine they've stopped making the the whole 919 line right? Needed new irons and was trying to wait until the latest line was released thinking prices would drop for the 900s and 919s but yeah with everything going on who know's when they'll be releasing

Yes, I've heard they have started pulling the 919s from fitting studios. I'm sure they are still carried by certain retailers, but they won't be widely available with the upcoming release of the new line.

The prices of the 919's did drop. Tons of places (online and otherwise) were carrying them at 20% off. TGW.com and Rockbottomgolf.com for sure had them at 20% ... still do I think, but there are very few left anymore. A couple weeks ago you could have ordered them with custom specs at 20% off. Now, you kind of have to take what ever they may have left.

I ended up going with a set of used 900 forged irons!

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I don't think it is concept that is hard to grasp. Most people who complain find an S&D penalty too harsh for a lost ball that is presumably inbound/in a non-penalty area.  I suspect because in other sports, when you loose a point, you loose only THAT point. While that is an apples to oranges comparison, to the casual golfer it's a bit of system shock.

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By billchao · Posted

      I don’t understand why this concept is hard for people. If the ball is lost, it is lost. It doesn’t matter where they think it should be, or whether they feel like it should be lost. The bottom line is they don’t have a ball in play. I play with some people that will just drop with one stroke (if they even take a stroke at all). Frankly, I don’t care since it’s not a competition, but if they go bragging at the bar later that they shot “85” because I will call them out on it every time.

      I played in Open Qualifying about 25 years ago. I got to the last hole - I shan't share my score, but it wasn't good. It's a long uphill par 4 with the clubhouse just long left of the green. The clubhouse is out of bounds. I hit my second shot left and it got a firm bounce. Get up there and the clubhouse has a patio. Between the patio and a grass is a little channel filled with pebbles. In that channel is my ball. Channel is in play, but hardly ideal. About 8 inches behind my ball also in the channel is a sprinkler head. So I asked an official who happened to be on the patio whether I got relief or not. He had me set up to it and take a backswing. My club hit the sprinkler head (harder than I would have liked). He asked me to do it again (side note - WTF?) and I hit the sprinkler again. He begrudgingly gave me relief and I dropped it on the grass, pitched on the green and missed from about 8 feet. Holing it would have allowed me to break a certain score threshold I'd rather not flirt with. Following year, I played same course, same event and I played a LOT better. I birdied 17 to go back to even par for the day. Friend of mine told me it looked like even was playing off for last spot, but birdie on 18 would get me through (this was local qualifying, so through to final qualifying). I hit my drive in the heather right, went for it from there and pulled it heather left and wound up making double to not be in the play off (which wound up being about 8 people for 2 spots). But I digress - anyway, as I walked off 18 green I walked over to the patio where the scorers were and noticed that they had painted a white line on the grass next to that Channel, so they fixed my issue from the previous year, albeit in a way that would have been much more detrimental to my score.
