Mizuno’s ‘Year of Innovation’
Mizuno has announced a number of new technical breakthroughs in what is called ‘a year of innovation’ with the new JPX850 line. The line boasts a number of technical and design breakthroughs for the Japanese manufacturer – all industry firsts, aimed at increasing ball speed and distance
A
rguably the most impressive is the introduction of Boron
within Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forging process. The introduction of Boron (JPX850 Forged) has allowed Mizuno to increase the strength of its Forged material, allowing its R&D team greater design freedom – and ultimately more distance from iron to iron. There is also a timely re-
introduction of Mizuno’s Fast Track sliding weight system in the JPX850 driver. Having introduced Fast Track back in 2007, time has proven Mizuno to be ahead of its competition - who introduced their own sliding weight systems in the last 12 months. The new Fast Track sliding system works back from the face – allowing golfers to dramatically change their spin
rates. Mizuno’s research unveiled that optimising spin rate was the quickest way to increase overall driving distance. The Shock Wave sole is a new
take on increasing ball speed from the face of the smaller headed hybrids and fairway woods. The corrugated effect allows the entire head to flex on impact – delivering an additional energy source to the clubface. “It’s rare to have so many
breakthrough technologies at one time,” commented Tetsuya Kanayama, senior R&D Manager. “Normally golf equipment evolves with incremental changes. So we are incredibly proud to unveil these breakthroughs and help golfers hit the ball further than ever before.”
Highlights include:
JPX850 Driver - The piercing blue JPX850 uses twin 8-gram weights which can be located either on the central sliding railto adjust spin off the face, or in two lateral slots to alter the driver's draw/fade tendency.
JPX850 Fairway Wood & Hybrid - The JPX850 Hybrid and the adjustable JPX850 Fairway Wood utilise Mizuno's Shock Wave sole to enable the entire club head to contract and expand on impact – delivering an additional energy source to the clubface.
JPX850 Forged - Mizuno’s new material is 30% stronger than its traditional 1025E steel billets – allowing for a thinner face and extreme ball speeds.
JPX850 Iron - The framework ensures ball speeds are consistently high across the entire clubface and that high COR is not created at the expense of feel or control
MP-15 - The playing profile and head-size of the MP-15 is based on the classic MP-64 – with 10% greater forgiveness created through the use of the Ti insert
MP-H5 - Refined from the long iron replacements established on tour by Luke Donald, the MP-H5 pushes the concept further with a complete flow of hollow and part hollow irons (from 1 iron to PW)
