Our Mizuno JPX900 driver review took place at the Golf Shack at Moor Allerton Golf Club in Leeds.
We decided to have two testers, myself a 17 handicap who struggles with driver (I’m not sure either) and our anonymous big hitter.
Although our regular anonymous big hitter was in the Seychelles on holiday so we drafted in his younger brother.
We both hit the Mizuno JPX900 driver with the results being monitored on Trackman by our resident pro James Whitaker
Mizuno JPX900 driver review – First impressions
This driver has so much shelf appeal due to the stunning blue crown and the intriguing amount of adjustability on the sole.
The head is larger than the JPX850 and the finish is a classier matt blue.
It’s a lot closer in size to the JPX EZ driver and Mizuno say the JPX900 takes the best bits of both previous drivers.
It should be more forgiving than the JPX850 but offer less spin than the JPX EZ.
Sounds good eh?
Mizuno JPX900 driver review – The technology
As well as a bigger head, there’s increased adjustability.
I’d say this is arguably the most adjustable driver on the market.
There’s two weights, like with the JPX850 and JPX EZ, where one can be put in the heel or the toe or anywhere along a track which runs front to back.
This can help dial in spin and promote more or less face closure for particular shot shapes.
And there another pad on the sole which offers an open, closed or neutral face.
You can also use the Quick Switch hosel to change the loft from 7.5˚ to 11.5˚.
Mizuno say despite the level of adjustability the MOI (resistance to twisting on impact/forgiveness) remains very high.
With their entire JPX900 woods range Mizuno are making a statement that they are not just an iron company and can fit even the world’s best players through the bag.
