Our Mizuno JPX900 3-wood review took place in the Golf Shack at Moor Allerton in Leeds.
Mizuno were very excited with the launch of their JPX900 woods, and after we hit the driver, we could see why.
It was one of the standout performers from our driver test this year and we think it’s the best one Mizuno have brought to market yet.
So we were very keen to test out the other woods in the range…
Mizuno JPX900 3-wood review – The methodology
We took a 15-degree Mizuno JPX900 3-wood and a 19-degree hybrid and got our anonymous big hitter to hit about six shots with each.
We measured all the data on Trackman. We paid particular attention to the gapping between the two clubs and also ball speed, spin and distance numbers.
Mizuno JPX900 3-wood review – The technology
What Mizuno call a Shockwave Sole helps create more ball speed while a 15g sliding weight allows players to fine tune their spin and launch.
The JPX900 3-wood comes fitted with a premium Fujikura Speeder Evolution 2 shaft as standard.
Mizuno’s first adjustable hybrid has a smaller, compact profile and is very much a long iron replacement rather than something closer to a fairway wood.
Mizuno still say it has had been built like a wood but will play like an iron.
The JPX900 face sits more like an iron than in Mizuno’s previous hybrids, while the club is set up a little shorter and flatter than previously to work especially well for players who tend to hook their hybrids.
Mizuno JPX900 3-wood review – The results
The results from the 3-wood were very consistent. There really wasn’t much variation from shot to shot with very similar launch, spin, ball speed and carry numbers.
