- The Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal irons continue the highly successful Mizuno Hot Metal iron family, which has delivered excellent distance and forgiveness through golfers by using unique materials and construction methods.
The new Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal irons utilize a new Nickel Chromoly material, which is 35% stronger than the Chromoly in previous Mizuno JPX Hot Metal irons. So, how do the JPX 923 Hot Metal irons compare to the previous model, the JPX 921 Hot Metal irons?
In this video, Chris Voshall from Mizuno joins 2nd Swing's Drew Mahowald and Thomas Campbell to test and compare the JPX 923 Hot Metal and JPX 921 Hot Metal irons on Trackman.

Was on the fence with the 921 or 923 HM. Ultimately went with the 923 because they just felt better to me IMO. The weight the shaft it just felt right. Played my first round with them yesterday and I was blown away on how this club performed. The feel alone is what had me sold. I’m coming from Taylormade RSI 1 so that was a big step up in the feel department for me. Also the ball flight is really nice on these. Was worried about the stronger lofts but they fly high and still have some spin to them. Even on my mishits I didn’t lose much distance at all. Love the look of the clubs and at address. Just a clean looking club. And the feel of a Mizuno I finally experienced that first hand even in the HM set. Absolutely love how these irons feel. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
Really appreciate your feedback on the irons - Thomas
Just got my left handed Jpx 923 hot metal pros. Love them. Perfect irons for the lower mid handicap. You can see the forgiveness but they aren’t chunky irons.
I can t decide between 923 hm and hm pro. I can't find the difference In real then should I go regular hm for more forgiveness?
@@denny2427 probably just depends on your visual preference and whether you want more ability to work the ball. The hmp has less offset so theoretically should be easier to hit fades or draws.
@@denny2427 I looked at the 921 hot metal standard irons on the weekend. If the 923 looks similar, I would personally go with this more game improvement iron. The offset looked lower in the short irons to moderate and very reasonable also with the standard hot metal.
Such a great looking iron. Both the 921 and 923 are really nice
Appreciate the feedback. It's nice to have that LH option! - Thomas
Not sure about the 923, but I recently changed from Taylormade M4 to the 921s, wow, what a difference, my best round in the M4s was 85, I just came back from DR where I took the 921s, I played all three courses at Casa De Campo (links, Teeth of the Dog, and Dye Four), my scores was amazing, Links I shot a 86 first round playing with these clubs, Teeth I shot an 81, and figured that was my best, I was a little tired and was not sure I was up to playing 3 days in row, but figured to give it a go, boy, am I glad I did, I shot a 77 on Dye Four with the 921, I hit every par 3, a few birdies, to be honest my Stealth driver was on too, 260 avg off the tee, one even 280 yrds. But the irons gave me more distance and confidence. Looking forward to the 2023 golf season.
AWESOME stuff, Harold! The JPX 921s are definitely an excellent choice and you can see why
Just got fit with the 923's at the Wilmington store. All I can say is WOW. Can't wait to get them.
Based on this I think the differences with 921 vs 923 are pretty marginal and about what I would expect. I’ve had 921 HMP’s in my bag for a couple of years and absolutely love them. I don’t think the 923’s are enough of a game changer to justify upgrading from 921’s, but if I were coming at this with an older set of irons, I would definitely give the 923’s a look.
Since you’ve had them for awhile I just found the 921 pros 5-pw for 500.00 $ do you think the 923 are worth the extra 3-400? I’m coming off a old cheap Chinese set of irons relatively new to golf
@@ChristiannTyler where did you find them new for 500??
@@BuffaloBarber24 they aren’t new but in great condition. I went to Roger dun not sure where you’re located but they have great stuff.
@@BuffaloBarber24I just found them here in the Netherlands for 559 new… it’s an outlier price so snapped them up… feel much like my T300s in Spain
Wow! 😮 Didn’t expect to see more spin from half a degree less loft. Great numbers form the JPX923, very playable for a lot of golfers
That was a great added bonus there especially for these irons that don't spin a lot due to the loft - Thomas
Great review. When you're comparing these hot players irons, I'd really love there to be a 4 iron v 4 iron in the review as well. Most 4 irons like this are around 19° these days and so are being bought as driving irons off the tee.
Good suggestion. Most manufacturers only send us a 7iron fitting head but the nice thing is at 2nd Swing we do eventually get plenty of used clubs to test out. A 4 iron test would be a nice change up - Thomas
I test fitted today with the 921 HM and HMPro the HM was a bit easier to hit because of the offset but the Pro was like butter and more workable. I’d be happy with either but I can’t wait to try the 923 models.
You can't go wrong with either 921 or 923 - Thomas
Love the look of these, can't wait to hit them someday!
Thanks for watching - Thomas
Vosh is back!! Yay!!
We loved having him on the channel - Thomas
I hit the 923 hot metal and the Wilson d9 the other day. They both performed very similar. Love the look of the Mizuno but hard to justify the price with the same results.
It can be a tough choice. No doubt Mizuno looks better but everyone has a specific budget and if the results seem similar you may not need to pay extra - Thomas
This video couldn’t have been more perfect timing as I have been contemplating between the 921 vs 923 HM irons. Looking to upgrade my set from Taylormade RSi 1. I feel like I can benefit from both sets. Just not sure which one to choose
Make sure you get fitted to compare the results for yourself - Thomas
I want a set of JPX 923 HMP so bad. Mizuno is here in my home town. I have watched a lot of videos now I want to hit them and confirm that I need a set.
You can't go wrong with 923 HMP - Thomas
Am I missing something, the 923 was shorter than the previous model per the stats even with a “hotter” face, with all the other numbers essentially the same?
In fittings, out of Mizuno Pro 225 and JPX 923 Hot Metal Pro, which iron has better ball speed consistency/ retention across the face? How do they compare to P790?
Also, out of these 3 irons, which one has the most spin?
Thanks, Joe
Pro 225 will most likely have the slight advantage on consistency. Hot metal pro will go further than P790 and P790 is a little smaller head. - For spin loft is your friend here Pro 225 and P790 with 30-30.5* of loft on the 7iron. The 923 HM Pro will have the least spin - Thomas
I have been deciding between the HM 921's and 923's for a few months now and was pretty set on the 923s because they were only about $100 more. The 921s have now gone on sale and are a significant amount cheaper ($200+), just wondering what you guys think on that? Is it worth paying the extra money for the newer model?
Depends on what kind of player you are. General scoring average and are you a high or low ball hitter. Personally I'm a high 70's low 80's hitter so I want the higher flight and more spin of the 923's. That being said I have to compare the 923's to a couple of other options before I make my choice
@@vroomgc I went and tested out the Titleist T300s as well and felt that the mizunos were better. I’m a high handicap and would say I’m probably a medium flight
I got the jpx 921 HM 2 weeks ago from curated. Brand new for $580. They were able to get me an additional 25% off.
To be honest there's really no difference! I own the 921 hotmetal and hotmetal pros, demo both against the 923 hotmetal, guess what, exact same numbers over a course of 20- 30 ball hit each club! Just my 2 cents!
What shaft abd flex was Thomas using for the test?
All the same, since we were around low 80's which generally just fits into the lighter stiff flex it was the 950GH stiff - Thomas
I tested a set with Project X LZ 5.5 115g shafts on the 923 HI and the preformed great for me.
LOL not all the spin is in the clubs. 923 hotter face and ball speed yet 921 is still within margin of error for carry and total. (the "spin" oh the carry and total are "closer" a huge improvement? Nope)And yes I have 921 pros and love em. Can't see any reason to change to the "new/improved" spread err clubs. Butter smooth with 921!
921's are still awesome irons! - Thomas
You really need to get an avg golfer with slower swing speed to review these. Watching Thomas means nothing to me. Doesn’t prove anything about these clubs created for a lower handicap player.
Appreciate the feedback. The challenge is always consistency from higher handicap golfers - Thomas
@@2ndswing That is a true statement but there are some older guys that are consistent enough but also slower. However I thought Thomas did a good job at controlling the power output overall.
Totally agree. Av golfer is nowhere near his speed so the review is only relevant to a small minority.
Why is the spin so low for a 7-iron in general?
28.5 degree loft.
Loft and hitting off a mat - Thomas
Was the shaft the same?
Yes 950GH stiff
No difference in distance though. Can’t see the point
Shouldn't be much from one generation to the next. A fitting may help you achieve those gains - Thomas
These new 923's HM are pointless. What in the world was Mizuno thinking?? There is virtually no real world difference, certainly not enough to justify "upgrading" to them if you already own 921's HM. I own the 921's (and the MP 225's as well ftr) and have gamed the 923's and there is zero difference between them other than a slightly stronger loft for 923 HM. Big deal. If you want stronger lofts, bend your 921 HM a half a degree.
What more do you want out of new irons? Consistency is important but I will say from one generation of changes you won't see much difference. Think about cars for example every year a new car model comes out but it doesn't go any faster. - Thomas
@@2ndswing Agreed
I don't think that was not enough big upgrade from 921 to 923. Amature players don't feel what are different between them when they play.
@@kimjung8 Right?
What do you like better, the HMP or 225? What’s the biggest difference?
