I've got the 921 JPX Forged - love them.... Had them about 2 years now...
NEVER going anything but Mizuno in the future ever again.
damn, I was hoping you wouldn’t say that lol..can get a great deal on them new..I’m tempted..
I used the Mizuno MP-57 back in the day, and I agree, they are top irons..
How much?
Fitted or "guess" fitted....
the company are selling them for £675, decent stock on them, I offered a bit less and take a punt.
everything standard, stiff shaft though, kbs lite 100. I have 105 atm, but I dunno? Feel a touch heavy for me..
im 1” longer than standard but go down the shaft anyways..so I don’t know how much that will hinder my swing?
yeah - not a bad price.
They will drop again in Jan 24 as the new pro series 24X irons come out (Pro series and JPX series alternate years for new clubs)
I have the modus 105 stiff shaft, 0.5" longer... I do love them - fabulous feeling clubs and very forgiving with off centre hits.

There's a few decent deals floating about, but if you're not bothered about wrappers on the club head then you won't find better prices then ex demo stuff. Most pro shops have started putting out stock and AG have had it out for a month or so.

So basically stuff customers have swung in the shop or out back or in the simulator?

Can be, or even just ex display stuff that's never been hit if you're lucky.
Won't find much better for the price - https://www.pxg.com/en-gb/golf-clubs/drivers/gen5-driver-comparison.html
£199 for Gen5

Shot my best round at Southerndown GC today, links style course.
My driving had been bag again recently, so had a single thought on driver and I hit it, probably the best I've ever hit driver, very straight, medium length and kept it in play, until I mentioned it on the 17th, where it rolled into a bush (don't talk about how well you're driving, while driving)
My irons were also the best I've hit them, loads of compression, with the single thought of trying to hit down on it more. I've noticed on my sim, all my irons are showing a very shallow attack angle, pretty much 0.5deg down at best, with almost always a +++ attack angle, which is terrible. That was fixed today and my ball flight was penetrating and crazy straight. I'm going to be trying to keep these thoughts going!
Hit my best GIR, with 10/18 greens in reg today.
Putting kinda let me down today, but I can't totally blame it, my approach shots were landing miles from the hole, so I had a long way in for my first putt each time (check out the firsts putt distance stats). A large percentage of my 2nd putts were lip-outs or an inch outside the cup - on other days they would have fallen in and I would have scored better, but swings and roundabouts really, cant complain! Enjoyed today. Hope everyone else's games are showing improvements.

Nice sub 90 score..... But as you say.... 9 three putts in a round is killing you.....Shot my best round at Southerndown GC today, links style course.
Hope this doesn't sound harsh, and it's genuinely not meant to be - but get some putting practice in ASAP!!. 45 putts is more than 50% of your score.....
To hit 10/18 GIR is superb.... But the putting has killed you. That's a 78/79 score all day long with some practice/putting coaching etc. Some of the longer 40/50ft putts are going to be 3's, and they must be massive greens if your having 63ft/71ft/77ft putts.... That's like 25/30 yard long greens....
Get a putting mat or alike for Xmas and practice in the house.
Never heard of PXG.

The greens are huge to be fair. Multi tiered, undulating, sloped, huge and no fringe that's going to stop your ball from rolling miles off the back/front, on this links courses at least. There's no flat greens here
My other recent round there from a few weeks ago, I shot 35 putts, with only 2x 3putts. Today though, cold hands in 9deg 'warmth' never helps and I wouldn't say my putting was terrible either. I putted from off the green several times too, as the lies are so tight and the surrounding grass is like most greens - pretty slippery, but fun. When I shot 35 putts at the same course, my putting total distance was 516 feet and today, it was almost 700 feet! That tells me something, GET THOSE APPROACH SHOTS CLOSER FFS
Yes, I hit a lot of decent putts, I hit a lot of long putts, but I can say that none of the putts from 6-8 feet fell, when they normally would. A gentle tap, they'd go for miles. Difficulty was high, so I'll take it.
One thing I did notice on the greens though, the types of putts where I'd hit pure, it would run towards the hole and would gently veer off left, right at the last foot. This happened several times today, either I didn't see the break, or the holes were doughnutted, where people step and cause a volcano style slope around the hole. Either way, hit the ball great today, so I'll take the positives!
very overlooked brand, that driver offer is a steal tbh!
Kind of funny as they claim to be "the loudest brand in golf!"
Stonking good value for money - £199 for gen5 driver is a steal...
HUGE brand in USA
