I tested the Mizuno JPX 800 Irons with a True Temper Dynalite Gold s300 shaft. At first glance, it is apparent the Mizuno JPX 800 iron is designed as a game improvement club.
Mizuno designed the JPX 800's with a low and deep center of gravity. The combination of the low COG and strong lofts really help the average player get a lot out of these irons the JPX 800's are some of the longest irons out there by my books.
The JPX 800's provide some workability for better players who prefer to shape their shots. Since the irons are designed to hit high and straight I had a difficult time controlling trajectory. They utilize a thick top line with a triple cut sole designed to make the iron more playable from any lie. The pocket cavity helps deliver the largest MOI of any Mizuno iron. The chrome finish looks sharp with blue and black accents.
The Mizuno JPX 800 is extremely forgiving and still produce high and straight shots on off center hits such as the toe or heel. It delivers a firm "crack" sound at impact. Shots struck in the sweet spot feel very smooth. Personally, I enjoyed the slightly heavier feel of theseirons.
