The JPX825 family from Mizuno already included irons, woods and hybrids. The JPX825 driver, fairway woods and hybrids are all about distance and forgiveness, the company says.
The headliner is always the driver, and the Mizuno JPX825 driver is aimed at mid- and higher-handicap golfers. The clubhead is 5-piece forged titanium with an ultra-thin, light crown. Inside the head are two weights, low and deep. The weighting profile is one focused on a low, deep center of gravity, boosting launch angle; and MOI, increasing forgiveness, particularly on off-center strikes.
First thing you will notice about the Mizuno JPX825 driver is its shape at address. With sharper edges and a more triangular appearance it certainly is a stand out look that may not appeal to all. However, visually it does work as the V in the grooves on the face mirrors the V-styling of the head, in what is a very classy looking driver
Mizuno say the the heavier weight that they have put in the sole increases forgiveness and makes this a driver for going straight, rather than one you shape. It certainly is pretty straight and the wide face is forgiving enough, producing a mid to high trajectory. Compared to the Mizuno JPX825 Irons, it certainly looks much better and with more weight further back it does seem slightly easier to hit. However for us it missed a little of the wow factor that is present in the Mizuno JPX825 Fairway Wood and hybrid.
The driver seemed relatively hard work to get going, possibly because the feel and sound were a little muted, which is a shame as the JPX825 driver is a big improvement on the previous model despite this.
