Just thought I would say hi from the USA!! I recently got fitted here in the US at a Mizuno Demo Day and got fitted with a set of JPX 800 Pros with PX 5.0. What a great day I had. The Miz Rep Lou was very knowledgeable, thought these irons would be an excellent fit for me. My optimizer settings were right on with my own experience. I got a real good deal with the PX 5.0s at no extra cost due to the Demo Day. My first round with them went like I expected, long, accurate and satisfying.

One day, I was trying out the Callaway Razr X Tours when the sales guy asked me to try out this mystery club. Without looking at it, I made some swings and immediatly noticed all the things these clubs are famous for. I kept saying to myself, "What is this club". I then turned the club over and saw it was the JPX 800 Pros. I knew nothing about this iron, but WOW, what sweet clubs. Loved the look, feel and performance. Being the same price as the Callaway's, it was a no brainer. Did my research and went to the Demo Day, and the rest is history.

One last thing, I can't get over the popularity of this brand here in Europe vs the US. I had no problems finding plenty of love, reviews, comments, etc for these clubs. Hardly any for the Razr X Tours.

My home club is Cog Hill in Lemont, IL. This is where the BMW Championship is held on a little course known as Dubs Dread.

Thanks,
golfnut1982

I've been struggling for a while with my titleist AP2s in fact I've never really got on with them and in particular hated the Project X shafts. Id heard a few good things about the JPX 800 Pro and made a fitting Appointment with Mizuni at their fitting centre in Wrexham.
I had a bit of a nightmare with my Sat Nav but got there late expecting to have missed the appointment. Simon very kindly stayed late and in that hour i learnt more about golf shafts and what they can do than in the whole of my golfing career. What is nice is to be able to see the ball flight allied to the trackman figures and we soon had it narrowed down to the JPX pro and KBS shafts -ordering them tomorrow I cant wait.
For those on the fence dont wait, go and get fitted these clubs are special

First of all, welcome to another convert from the States.

Down the middle - interesting because i had the AP2s (changed from MP30s) with project x 5.5 - could not live with them - the flight was higher than i liked and the clubs were nowhere near the feel you get with the old or current MP range. Moved on after 12 months to the MP58s after a fitting session. Awesome.

I've heard nothing but great things about the JPX 800 pro, so no doubt you will enjoy them. have fun.

Greetings all! I, too, am a newbie to the forum from the states (Sin City- Las Vegas). Enjoy the comments and knowledge of Mizzy owners here on the Forum. Just recently purchased my set of pros, and cannot say enough about them. Just right for a mid-capper like myself. They are exactly what Mizuno intended them to be, a perfect blend of G.I. and player irons. Previously gamed Ping G15's, but as the handicap lowered a bit, decided to go a different route. Hit these at a local golf shop, and ordered a set on the spot. To me, they possess all of the qualities of a G.I. iron, with the addition of great forged feel. They also are very easy on the eyes, contrary to most other G.I. irons. Still in the honeymoon stage, but don't think it will change!

This is all great, but not for my bank balance, it's making me want to just order a new set!

Birthday next month so I might treat myself :)

I was going to say "how could you keep one set for 10 years?" but I realised that I have a set of MX20 irons that I bought new in 2000! - They are in a friends place in Asturias (Spain) so I only get to play with them when I visit (so not for a year & counting :() - They still go well, but the heads look enormous compared to the usual MP irons I have played with of late (MP5's currently)

I had a set of these when they were first released. Lovely clubs to hit, think I ended up moving them in to another forum member a few years later. I remember doing the fitting on a Monday morning, ordered them and picked them up on the Friday of the same week,morose were the days. They weren't standard either 😉
