Thanks for all of the Mizuno reviews. Just bought a set of the 923 Hot Metals. I wanted the 923 Forged but the forgiveness of the Hot Metal sold me. Feel of hits out of the center feel pretty close to the Forged and don’t sound clicky.

Your are doing excellent work. Love this in depth comparison

This is Crazy. These were the two irons I was fitted for! I haven't bought my irons yet. Happy for this video

Thanks for this excellent video, I’ve gone for the 923 HL, absolutely brilliant club for us oldies with a slower swing speed. Actually picked up a few more yards 🥳. I did test the 430’s but the Mizuno were in a different world when it came to feel.

Great review. I’m in the market for some new irons and these are on the shortlist. It would possibly add to the review if you were to put them in the hands of someone like myself (mid-high handicapper and social golfer). They could add their perspective on looks, feel and confidence inspiration. And you could talk through the various stats and what they mean informing the choice of that person and countless others. I am available most weekends and bank holidays…. 😂

Thank's Jay already got MP 225 irons love them

Many thanks for another H2H comparison👍👍 The numbers for each club are so similar making a buying decision would be down to brand preference, aesthetics and acoustics (as I'm a deaf old bugger I would disregard the sound). As I am a PING & Mizuno fan and they both look okay-ish to my eye, I have no idea which I would choose. Luckily I don't have the spare cash to buy any Irons this year, so the problem is averted.

Very good review. You looked at and considered all the angles and discussed them in depth. Very fair in your comparison and acknowledged that tomorrow the trend could flip the other way. I am always amazed at the many reviewers on KZread and their overly sensitive focus on sound. Outside the sound is totally different than inside the studio and it really has no bearing on the club results. I honestly never even notice nor consider the sound when evaluating or hitting clubs. Really is not a feature for me. Well done!

Great review showing how much a bad average weekend hacker can get away with 😀 Love the way you show all results from the mis-hits. I've just won a ping g430 bundle , driver 3 wood and hybrid and full iron set from caddy comps so i guess I'll be trying out all the face on those g430 irons. 👌👌 Keep up the good work 👍

Would really like to see how the Srixon ZX 4 MK11 compare to these two clubs. Thanks

From the fitting numbers I got with the JPX 923 Hot Metals, we knew that the 923 HMs were going to be hard to beat.

Great review! Where do the Mizuno 225 irons fall? Are they in this category? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I tested both yesterday. Eventually went with ping because I hit it slightly better. Both added a whopping 32 yards to my existing Taylor made M2s and I get that part of that is the loft. I’m a bang average 16 handicapper. I hit about twenty 7 irons in a row with the G430 onto the green, carrying around 160. I wasn’t quite as good with the Mizuno and to be honest, I wanted the Mizunos when I started the fitting. I just got the Mizuno driver and I liked the idea of a Mizuno set. We tried all 3 versions of the Mizzies, the latest Taylor Made and for me ping produced better accuracy and distance, especially when we found the right shaft. I just kept hitting the green. Love them, I could probably have loved the JPX too had we really honed in on the shaft. Not much between the clubs. I can’t wait to get them delivered before I move to my new home….. on a golf course!

Man, you are the Review Master! Excellent job as usual and your swing is the best I've seen of all of the reviewers. I bet those Good Good guys are afraid of you. lol Because I'm not that good of a ball striker sometimes, I might have to go with the G430 irons. I tried the i230 iron and I love it, when I hit the sweet spot. I'm sad about what happens when I hit the toe or heel. I'd rather have the i230. That said I want to hit every green. I think one advantage I have is, and you will laugh, is my slow swing speed. It's hard for me to miss a green with a 70mph swing speed. What is selling me on your review of the g430 is how they go almost the same distance with all hits compared. When I miss the i230 it seems to miss much shorter. I'd like to get both thinking I might become a better striker using the i230. The thing is I am running out of years to play so the G430 it is.

@AskGolfNut

Жыл бұрын

The G430 will definitely mask a bad day at the course strike wise at least. They offer additional help in launch also so as the speed reduces having that extra help with the CG being further back and lower always helps. Appreciate very much your kind feedback. Doing the work it do and making my content in the way I do is very labour intensive.... Guess that's why the other guys don't give evident head data to go along with any verbal conclusions 🤔😁

I ordered HM HL graphite with different grips 5-GW for $1500 au at largest Aussie retailer - Pings $2100 plus extra for graphite and grip changes

Good review. I like the detail that you include. I have a question about the numbers. The spin is good for a forgiving 7 iron, the angle of decent is well above 45 degrees but the ball is shown as rolling out 15 yards. That does not make sense to me. A few yards yes, but not 15. I am interested in both of these clubs, but I want a ball that stops close to where it lands for the scoring clubs. The 7 is on the edge of that type of club, but that is a lot of simulated roll out. Is that just a launch monitor issue?

@AskGolfNut

Жыл бұрын

Hi Frank, great, question. It will, be due to me comparing them on the Foresight Range hitting down the fairway, rather than into a green. Due to the possibility of both clubs going different distances it's better to keep everything apples for apples and it react with the floor exactly the same way. If I had set it to a distance to hit a green then the total distance would have been much much less 👍

Just been fitted for the 923 and they're womderful, tried the Pings, P790s and Stealth too. Mizuno worked best for me.

Was just fitted this week at Golftec...After hitting all the brands on the rack it came down to these two. I hit both very well, the 923 pro just gave me a tad better shots overall. Most of the shots off the Ping came as a slight baby fade. Best shots off the Mizuno were baby draws....In fairness to Ping my existing bag has Mizuno 825 Pro forged which I love...Playing the less offset may be the only difference. The Pings were very sweet....just not the Mizuno for me. It's commonly said Mizuno players can feel a Mizuno in a blind test....The comfort zone of the head weight had a lot to do with my choice...It was odd to feel the difference between the major brands head weight. Now I have 3.5 weeks to wait for my new sticks.....it's going to be a long month!

I’m biased because I’ve got the 923hm but they look much nicer than the Pings . Happy with my purchase

Great comparison I’ve been waiting for 🙏🙏🙏. Interesting that Mizuno irons are notoriously flatter than most while Ping are more upright than most. Looks wise I think the Mizuno takes it, Ping has a bit too much going on in cavity. Would like to see you test these at mere mortal swing speeds as well lol. I imagine Ping does a bit better in the longer irons than Mizuno does due to the extra bounce. Although that 41 degree Ping Pitching wedge can create some issues at that part of the bag 😬.

The first time I saw your you tube review, I thought it was a lot of detail, but now I look forward to your reviews cause I know you will back up your conclusions. Back to the comparison, I finally got an opportunity to hit both of these clubs. I have to tell you I wanted to love the Mizuno JPX and they were good, but the Ping G430 was by far the most solid iron that I hit. I was both longer and more accurate and hit them higher. But again very ironic that you did the comparative review of my 2 finalist. Thanks So much for your content. I look forward to the next one!

There are so many worse game improvement irons on the planet that no one should think twice if they purchase either of these. For me, better sound, better looking, 100rpm more rpm, it says Mizuno on it, you simply can't lose buying it - you want slightly softer, slightly better feel - buy the upcoming 923 Forged. Ping seems to have fixed the Driver, woods & hybrid sound, irons have to be next. That said, you will never go wrong buying a Ping. The sound just isn't the best.

My 5 cents worth of advice: in the heat of battle on the golf course, you want irons that you can rely on to deliver a good shot reliably... Ping is the answer. Sure, the Mizuno irons look much sexier and feel better on the odd shot, but continuous shot reliability is what we golfers look for. I started playing golf 50 years ago (log time!) and Ping was the go-to golf irons then. Today, nothing has changed... it is still is Ping!

I much prefer the Mizuno looks, but unfortunately require an iron that is 3 or 4 degrees flat. That requirement eliminates the Mizuno, which seems to be 1.5 degrees more upright than other manufacturers. Bummer.

Hi Barry, I'm glad you know your fitting requirements, not many people do so that's a good thing. I would say though that from a fitting position, Mizunos have always been one of the flattest irons standard compared to all other manufacturers. If you had said Upright 4 degrees I would of agreed that you would need to potentially search elsewhere. Titleist for example are 1.5 degrees more Upright than Mizunos standard like for like, so in actuality if you are looking for comparative flatness, Mizuno should be very near the top of your list to seriously consider 👍🏻

@AskGolfNut perhaps I'm misreading the specifications then? When I compare Titleist, TM Stealth & Mizuno HM 6 irons eg, the Titleist & TM are 62.5 degrees & the mizuno is 61 degrees. I thought the higher number is flatter? Very happy if I'm wrong?

Higher the number the more upright it is, lower the number the flatter 👍👍 have you been for a custom fit to get all your required specs?

well that is good news then, as Mizuno here we come I think. I was custom fitted into 4 degrees flat many years ago by a PGA professional. That meant I was either buying forged irons, so that could be bent accordingly, or Ping irons & I didn't like the feel of Ping irons. When I was younger & a better golfer forged irons were fine, but at 68 years young, cavity backs or similar are my preference now. ​@AskGolfNut

we are all improving, why wouldn't you want a g430-

Mavriks are easier to hit for me

It's hard for me to trust your review is fair with all the Mizuno gear everywhere... Especially when I've seen the 425 & 430 doing so well out there.

My personal choices are exactly those, but my review is unbiased in the basis of giving honest and open club head data attached to any ball data performance differences. If there are any performance benefit in any particular area, by me giving detailed head data analysis, any and all variances good bad can be easily equated. So absolutely you have a point and I'm assuming this may be the first time you have watch my content. But I can assure that my own personal choices in brands that I personally like have absolutely no bearing on which wins or loses in any particular comparison. If I didn't give the data I do, I absolutely understand that people could doubt what I'm saying with one way or the other. I'm intensely honest and believe in giving evidence based conclusions 👍 Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍

I'm sure this was a good review - but too much waffle at the start and I noticed the 28 min run time. Gave up.

That's ok Dave, my channel isn't for everyone. I do it differently, I properly test equipment, also on miss hits and test properly how forgiving equipment is or isn't. It takes time, and I guess that's why no one else do reviews like I do. They'd rather concentrate on creating click based content 👍 Thanks for the comment though 👍

@@AskGolfNut ok - maybe I was having a bad hair moment. I do watch some of your stuff. But 28 mins is ott. It’s not about “click bait”, it’s about editing content to a reasonable timeframe so you, the KZreadr, can get your point across, and we, the viewer, can benefit from the content. There is a reason why most clips on gear reviews are approx 10mins. Granted some other types of golf vids are 30-60 mins, but they are rarely gear reviews.

It's ok Dave, no need to justify your point. I agree. I've tried for years to find a balance between reducing the content length but then anything I say has been criticised for not having sufficient evidence to back anything up. Especially when I'm doing reviews and obviously Mizuno reviews with my choice of clothing on show. It's important that I give evidence to prove anything said. Thinking about what you said, always open to comments. I may make 2 reviews, 1 shorter no more than 10 minutes and the other in depth review, full length 🤔
