Mizuno JPX 923 Irons Review - Hot Metal, Hot Metal Pro, and Hot Metal HL (High Launch)

I've been playing the new Mizuno JPX 923 irons for awhile now.  The JPX 923 Hot Metal Pro, the JPX 923 Hot Metal, and a newcomer to the family - the JPX 923 Hot Metal HL (High Launch).  And the common theme with all these irons is ball speed.  Seriously fast ball speed.  In fact, these are the longest JPX irons of any I've ever hit, hands down.

But there's more to this new JPX 923 line than just Nickel Chromoly speed.  All three models are extremely playable, even the Hot Metal Pro (HMP) has fantastic forgiveness.  And the ability to blend any of these irons seamlessly into a mixed or combo set will give players all kinds of options that fit pretty much every skill level.  In a nutshell, the JPX 923 irons are the most fun to hit JPX irons of all time.

Irishmen Hugh Foley and Matthew McClean Join Josh Persons and Bryce Hanstad in U.S. Mid-Amateur Semifinals

It seems appropriate somehow that a pair of Irishmen have advanced to the semifinals of the 41st U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship at Erin Hills.

Cottages on the property are named for iconic Irish venues such as Ballybunion and Lahinch, and the pub has an Irish theme.

While the layout might not remind anyone of the historic links courses in Ireland, Hugh Foley, 25, and Matthew McClean, 29, have found the surroundings to their liking. And on a glorious Thursday – temperatures in the 70s with breezes in the 10- to 20-miles-per-hour range – the two Irishmen advanced to the semifinals in their first-ever appearance in this championship.

Titleist TSR Driver and Fairway Wood FIRST LOOK - A Titleist Fitting Review

I had just finished my fitting for the new Titleist TSR drivers and fairway woods at Windmill Lakes Golf Club and couldn't stop smiling walking back to my car.  When I got in my car I just sat there for awhile, still smiling.  Even thinking to myself "wow, just freaking wow."

Yes, I was extremely impressed with each new TSR driver and fairway wood model I hit.  The enhancements and new technology was real, and performance gains backed up by the numbers.  But even beyond that I was truly amazed the driver and woods I hit best were not what I expected.  And if not for my fitter Justin Long, I might not have even tried one of the drivers.
