First impressions
The last JPX EZ driver carried a black and orange design but now were seeing a move back to what we know and expect from Mizuno which is there very distinctive blue.

But they’ve not gone all out on the crown like they did with the JPX850 driver which was very blue, they’ve mellowed things out a bit with a nice grey crown with more of the blue featuring on the sole and the headcover.
Maybe being too blue put some people off from the start? It didn’t for me but I don’t support a football team whose rivals play in blue”¦
JPX850
I had the JPX850 in my bag for sometime as it looks amazing and really gets it out there.
The only area it was lacking for me (17 handicap) was in forgiveness.
So it was almost as Mizuno had read my mind before introducing the new JPX EZ.
The Tech
At address you can see that it has a larger headshape with the weight stretched back and out towards the heel and toe. It’s right on the USGA limit.
It looks like it’s going to be very hard to miss.
There’s the fast track adjustability (same as JPX850) on the sole to fine-tune ball flight and in the hosel you can select between 10 flight and eight loft settings with the quick switch system.
We were lucky enough to spend some time on the Mizuno European Tour truck with club designer Chris Voshall who explained to us the finer points of the JPX EZ Driver.
