I understand the 'ugly' about the JPX - too busy.  the 900s look a lot better.

MP5 is pretty aggressive - especially if buying new.  If you can, try to hit the 53 or 54 - really nice.

regardless, we're all different - use what feels good for you.  good luck

I like the look of the 54's better out of the two.  Will have to see if they have any new or used.

Thanks and I will let you know how I make out.

I have not ever heard of the JPX as ugly clubs unless you are talking about the EZ line.  I like the way they look at address but I guess I can understand the vast difference if you are used to the MP lines.

Sorry, maybe not all of the JPX line.  I dont like the Orange color on the EZ line or the Blue on the 850's.  The 900's dont have any color so they are the better of the bunch.

I have the 850 pro which are black and silver.  I kind of like the lack of colors on irons so I am with you for sure.  I just really like how they look at address

Had a set of the MP 54's.  Great clubs but did not offer the forgiveness and distance I was hoping for. Currently looking at the new JPX900's.  Beautiful design and based on the reviews are great performing clubs.

I used to play Mizuno MP32's and liked them a lot before switching (Titleist MBs). I hit the MP5s and wasn't a big fan of them, the weight seemed off to me for some reason and the short irons seemed to have pretty large faces. If I were to take another look at Mizunos I'd check out the JPX 900 tours but that's assuming cost isn't a major factor.

I ended up buying some MP 67's, barley used... looked almost brand new!  Should get them today.  Wanted to try them out tomorrow but everyone is tied up.  Might try to go out as a single.  (Never done that before)

If I dont get to hit the course I will go to the driving range for sure to hit a bucket and try them out.

Thanks for sharing your stories!

Good luck - I need to post my JPX SW and LW in the marketplace soon too.  67's should be fun to use

I just sold a set of MP-25s for a set of JPX 900F irons. You would be surprised on how close the head size is between the two. The JPX is more forgiving and feels great, preforms great, and looks great.

Well I finally got to hit my MP-67s and man are they sweet!

I didn't get to hit them on the range, straight to the course as most of the ranges up here are closing.  I was a little worried as I have never hit the irons and don't like to just go out and play with a new set but that's what I did.

I hit most of the irons and they were going rocket straight or had a nice little draw to them.  The long irons had a nice flight to them and they rolled out nice.  The short irons had a nice high flight and were checking up and even spun back a few times.  The wedge was awesome.  Every shot was spot on with full, 3/4 and 1/2 shots.

The odd part here is that the lofts on my Mizuno's are less than my Miura's but I was hitting the ball further and had to drop down a club for a lot of shots.  This happened after a few holes and I was getting use to the clubs.  One would think it would be the other way around... lower lofts would mean club up not down.... right?  Its not like I was swinging out of my shoes.  I was swinging like I always do.  They both have Dynamic Gold S300 shafts in them but the Mizuno shafts are spine aligned.  Can that make that much of a difference?

Arrrrg, sorry, I meant higher.  Was multitasking and messed up both tasks!

Below are the stats for both.  This happened after a few holes with both the 5 and 6 irons.  the 5's only have 1 degree difference and the 6's have 2degree differences.  I didnt hit the 8 yesterday but after having to club down for those two I had made the adjustments and hit 9 and W in spots where I would have hit 8 and 9.  Strange.

    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree. 
    • Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i
    • I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.   
    • I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
