Mizuno jpx one driver review: the details

Mizuno has long been regarded as one of golf’s premier iron makers, but their drivers have historically struggled to hit the same heights. Until now!

The launch of the Mizuno JPX One driver aims to change that narrative. This driver introduces a new face material, a fresh design philosophy for better performance.

So, has Mizuno released a driver that can finally compete with the Callaway, Titleist and TaylorMade? Find out in our full Mizuno JPX One driver review.

NCG Summary

Mizuno JPX One Driver

National Club Golfer and National Club Golfer magazine

NCG SUMMARY

The Mizuno JPX One is a substantial step forward for the brand when it comes to their drivers. It successfully combines striking aesthetics with an all-new face material and a forgiving head shape to push Mizuno up to compete with the big boys of drivers.

Although, I wasn’t able to unlock the ball-speed gains Mizuno claims this driver possesses, I did find it to offer a strong feel and a solid overall performance which goes beyond its price tag. Something different from the typical mainstream driver options.

PROS

Looks great – very confidence inspiring
Plenty of forgiveness
A wide range of golfers can use it

CONS

Ball-speeds aren’t particularly quick

First Impressions

Without doubt, I think this is one of Mizuno’s best looking drivers to date. The distinctive blue face frames the ball really nicely and gives the club a bit of an identity without making it distracting in any way.

I was a fan of the feel at impact – it felt good. I found it to be solid and quite satisfying, as if it felt as though you were being rewarded for hitting a good shot. It also has those crisp acoustics that are more refined than those of earlier Mizuno drivers.

NCG Verdict

During testing, I found the JPX One produced consistent and respectable performance. Though I din’t quite experience the breakthrough in ball speeds I was hoping for and expecting.

My ball speeds generally hovered around the mid 150mph range, with my best swings reaching 159mph. Don’t get me wrong they are still very competitive numbers, they just don’t put the Mizuno ahead of other leading drivers from other brands.

A more pronounced issue was variable spin, with certain strikes climbing into the 3,500–4,000 rpm range. When this happened, carry distance dropped noticeably.

However, my well struck strikes told a different story. I was able to unlock efficient spin and strong launch conditions to help push between 260 and 280 yards of carry.

From a technology standpoint, the centrepiece of the JPX One is its NanoAlloy face, a material adapted from high-impact sports such as baseball and tennis.

Mizuno claims this face dynamically alters its elasticity at impact, allowing it to flex more efficiently and retain speed across a wider portion of the striking area.

The manufacturer has also made the face significantly thinner than any of its previous models. Equally the head shape is slightly shallower but increased in size length wise to make it more forgiving.

Final Thoughts

I definitely think it is the most convincing driver Mizuno has produced to date. The club looks great behind the ball and offers a level of performance that finally places Mizuno alongside the major brands in the driver market.

Out of the two models from Mizuno’s new drive range this is definitely the one that most golfers are likely to use. It’s a bit easier to hit and less tour orientated.

If you factor in the feel and forgiveness it offers, there is no reason why you shouldn’t consider this as a legitimate contender to go into your bag in 2026.
