Good Day.

It's been suggested that I try the Mizuno JPX EZ, but they don't make them for lefties.

I'm looking for suggestions on something comparable.

Thanks.

Hi! Do you mean the standard JPX EZ or the forged? What about it are you looking for in terms of being comparable? The game improvement nature of the clubs or the gunmetal finish or both? If you're looking for the combo of similar looks and help, I'd suggest the Taylormade Speedblade. It's super forgiving, very popular, has a great gunmetal finish, and can be had for really cheap now. If the finish is less than important you're in the game improvement category generally and there's dozens of just current year models, never mind going back a year or two to save money for similar performance.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm looking more for the game improvement, something a bit forgiving.

The Mizuno JPX-850 is a game improvement iron but they aren't forged.

There is a forged version for lefties. I tried a 6i and it was really sweet. . .

I tried the JPX-EZ and the JPX-850 for lefties as well, and didn't like the sound as much. The forged really do sound nicer off the face.

I own the 850 forged, they are not very GI, especially not compared to the EZ.  Mizuno recommends the JPX-EZ for 10-35 handicappers (RH only), the JPX-850 Forged are recommended for 6-16 and the JPX-850 are for 10-25 cappers and are available in LH.

I would suggest the ping g30s. I was disappointed that mixing doesn't cater to us lefties. I am very pleased with my pings. Give them a try and get fitted.

True, but the OP is a 16HC, so it seems like he could use them (I'm only a 13-ish and found the one 6i to be pretty easy to hit even though it's like my 5i). Really bad shots seemed okay on the simulator. Probably would have sliced into another green in real life, though. :-X

These seemed nice too, but don't look as nice as the JPX-850 Forged.

I would try the following:

Ping G30  - very forgiving and easy to hit

TM RSI1's - has the groove slots on the face - helps with mishits

Mizuno JPX 850 - newer version of the JPX 825 below

Nike Vapor Speed - look sharp and hit well

Callaway XR - very new - haven't hit them yet

Cleveland 588 MT - cheaper than other major name brands but very forgiving

Mizuno JPX 825 - should be able to get a great deal on these since they are older

All should be comparable to the JPX EZ line.

Nice review lineup! I still think the 850 forged with Boron, looks much nicer. . .

Thanks for all the replies.

I found a 6i of the Mizuno JPX 850 off of ebay. I'll get it fitted and give it a try.

      Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

      We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
