Who is it for:Is there your name on your bag or not? Are you a professional golfer, a college player or someone who is capable of winning the A Flight at your club championship’s tournament? The JPX 923 Tour is a control-and-feel-oriented option that could suit you.
The skinny: These irons were forged to appeal to the best golfers. They have minimal offset, a thin topline, and a narrow sole. They have some perimeter weighting but the JPX 923 Tour is all for feel and control to help shot-shaping golfers.
The Deep DiveMizuno introduced the Mizuno Pro musclebacks last year. While most golfers don’t have the consistent, powerful swing to use them, many people admired them on social media, in pro shops, and on the fairways.
The JPX Tour irons are one click more playable than the Mizuno muscleback blades. With the new JPX 923 Tour, Mizuno is focusing on control and feel.
For a soft feel, the JPX 923 Tour is made from one piece of 1025E mild steel. However, the steel is first covered with a thin copper layer before final chrome plating. To enhance the soft feel of impact, the copper layer was added to Mizuno Pro irons. It’s also included to the JPX 923 Tour as a sign that this club is part of the Mizuno Pro or JPX families.

The JPX 923 Tour features the shortest blade length, narrowest sole and the thinnest topline among the five new JPX 923 Irons. Mizuno even added curvature to the topline to make it appear thinner.
To help clubs get through the turf faster, Mizuno also added extra trailing edge relief. Fitters will benefit from the added bounce if they wish to improve the loft at any club. The leading edge of delofting clubs can be lowered, which can lead to digging. Adding extra bounce to the JPX 923 Tour irons can help strengthen them without making them dig too much.
