Can anyone explain why this is different from your typical hybrids?? It's definitely shorter than hybrids! Would you recommend someone who is about 12 handicap for this type if clubs! I am currently using Titleist 585 hybrids but thinking about switching to these iron replacement! How is the tragetory and launch angle?? Anything would be helpful!

Theyre supposed to directly replace long irons because they have the same shaft length and hit the ball the same distance, unlike most hybrids that have a longer shaft than an iron and hit the ball slightly farther.

The launch on them is pretty high but they are very forgiving and easy to hit.

One thing you should know is that they have quite a lot of offset, so you might hit big hooks with these at first.  That and theyre pretty ugly clubs.  They work well but theyre pretty ugly.

I can definitely live with ugly looking club and tinny sounds, as long as I get pretty high launch and distance from the club. It does help that it is forgiving as well!

What do you hope to gain by switching?

The distance actually isnt that great with them.  The short shaft makes them shorter than a traditional hybrid.

Basically, if you struggle with certain irons and want something that hits the ball the same distance as that iron but is easier to hit, they are a good option.

The JPX FliHi bring long irons back into play. Between the FliHi irons and Fairway Woods, there's room for a hybrid or two.

I tried them a couple years ago and wasnt a big fan.  Too much offset for me.  If Im going with a hybrid, Id personally prefer a MP Fli-Hi or MP H4 over the JPX Fli-Hi.  I honestly expect Mizuno to stop making the JPX Fli-Hi soon because it really hasnt been a successful club for them.

You'll notice that there is a JPX-800 HD iron set but not a JPX-825 HD.

Gaijin,

Since Callaway released it X Utility Prototype iron, do you think Mizuno will reload its MP Fli-Hi?

  • 4 months later...

I just picked up a new JPX 800 HD set in an ebay auction last night......$247 for the set 4H, 5H & 6-PW with Dynalite XP shafts.

Anybody in The Sand Trap using these?

My intention is to use their New condition (never Used)...and trade them in at Golfsmith towards the JPX 825's.  I checked & the trade in value is about the same as what I just paid.

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
