Spotted: Mizuno JPX-900 Driver
Mizuno has a new driver on the USGA’s Conforming Club List. Called the JPX-900, the driver appears to have several adjustable elements, the most interesting of which is a sliding weight in the heel section of the club that looks to have the ability to alter face angle. There’s also a three-rail adjustable weight system that appears similar to the company’s Fast Track Technology used on its JPX-850 driver.
Mizuno is yet to offer any details on the new driver, so we can only offer our speculation. When the words open, neutral and closed are written on the sole of a club, however, we have to assume that face angle is being referenced. The ability to alter the face angle of the driver through an adjustable sole attachment, which would assumedly interact with the ground to make the club face point more to the left or more to the right at address, is a feature we haven’t seen used in a driver design since TaylorMade’s R1 driver was released in 2013.
Also visible in the black-and-white photo of the JPX-900 is an adjustable hosel, which gives golfers the ability to tweak loft and face angle simultaneously. The adjustable hosel, adjustable weights and adjustable sole attachment would offer golfers three levels of fine tuning that have to excite Mizuno fans.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Hit one today in San Antonio… Very solid, nice feel and sound, ball just explodes off the face… Try one you may be surprised… Also the 3 wood looks great, plus the 900 series irons and new wedges are a must see!!!

I have a secret device to open or close the face on ALL my clubs It’s:-
1) loosen your hold
2) rotate club open/closed by required amount
3) re-grip .
Damn, now the secret’s out , they’ll never sell another new driver .
Cheers all, Nige .

i prefer to keep my strong grip where it is and like the driver head to rotate on its axis of the hosel adaptor, then turn my hips and shoulders to where i’m going to hit it and then swing the club on the path that gets me the curve of the ball I want. your mind blown

I think it’s safe to say that nobody cares about Mizuno drivers. Right, folks?

jpx 850 was a SOLID driver. can’t wait to hit this and see if the 900 is an upgrade.

By putting the COR beyond the limit with these Titanium clubs means it’s so thin there is a likelihood of face breakage more than the ones below the limit is why companies don’t risk taking it to that point as often as consumers would like, is why there is so much tech being put into golf balls

used mizzie drivers (mp 600, 650, jpx 850) for years and nothing has ever broken. They are hot though!

Jul 9, 2016 at 4:37 pm
they don’t break for you because you don’t swing fast enough with your 75mph swing

Your high swing speed sky shots most of broken your drivers: “it’s a high pop up … back … back … oh foul ball”

Maybe a few to many adjustments for the average golfer to mess with. Personally, I don’t like drivers that force you to sole the club to adjust it.
