Mizuno JPX One Woods Are Built Different With NanoAlloy Adding Major Speed

Let me get right to it - Mizuno makes awesome metal woods. The problem is, Mizuno also makes really good everything else, and that "everything else" tends to overshadow the amount of technology and performance in their woods line.

In some ways, this is similar to the situation TaylorMade found themselves in many years ago, when they were thought of as mostly just a driver company - now they also happen to have one of the hottest putters in pro golf.

But back to Mizuno woods - did you know their now 3-year-old ST-Z 230 recently won again on the PGA Tour this past October, thanks to Steven Fisk at The Sanderson Farms, and it is a staple in the bag of Keith Mitchell - one of the best drivers on tour since its release.

But, like anything, engineers are always looking at ways to make things better, and with the new JPX One woods they have done it with the help of NanoAlloy to increase the CoR (coeffecient of restitution) Area to bring more ball speed to more of the face.

JPX One Woods Technology

The most exciting aspect of the JPX One woods is the NanoAlloy used on the face, which increases flex while also reducing energy loss. This material, which was developed in collaboration with materials specialists Toray (The folks who supply many of the world's biggest shaft companies with cutting-edge materials), allows Mizuno to push the limits of the face even thinner by close to half a millimeter.

That might not sound like much, but when millimeters count in the world of high performance, that adds up to extra ball speed.

Just to add clarity, the NanoAlloy isn't the only material used on the face of the driver. The NanoAlloy sits on top of a forged titanium face to create the added strength and flex.

Now, even with the NanoAlloy taking center stage in the tech conversation, the new JPX One drivers, which come in two models, also feature:

- Lightweight Carbon Crown

- Quick Switch Adjustable Hosel (+- 2°)

- Adjustable Back Weight (through customization) to dial in swing weight.

JPX One Driver Models

The New One Woods line ironically comes in two models (I couldn't help myself with that one), the core One head, and then the One Select.

JPX One

This model offers a larger, higher MOI footprint, plus a lower center of gravity to increase launch and lower spin.

It also offers less face progression to help generate a straighter trajectory with less curve. For those curious about face progression or are just hearing this term for the first time, it's the measured distance from the leading edge of the driver to the center of the hosel (where the shaft goes in).

JPX One Select

This is a story of shape and profile because the Select head features all the same technology as the core JPX One, but in a more compact shape that is 4mm shorter heel and toe and front to back to move the center of gravity closer to the face.

This makes the driver slightly more workable (a fun way to say that its slightly less forgiving to provide shotshaping capabilities), and promotes a straight to small fade trajectory bias.

Fairways and Hybrids Technology

Not to be left behind, the JPX One woods and hybrids also have updates technology packages to go along with the fresh look. The tech changes include:

- Reengineered CorTech sole chamber to increase flex on the bottom of the face to improve low strike ball speeds and reduce spin. It also helps increase face flex from heel to toe for more consistency.

- A wrap-around carbon crown that moves mass lower in the head to increase launch and lower spin.

- Speed Bevel sole to improve turf interaction through the line by lowering the leading edge of the face.

- Variable face thickness through each model optimized to produce the ideal results based on lofts and a high-strength MAS1C steel face for speed and weight savings.

Price & Availability

The full line of JPX One woods will be available for presale and fitting starting on January 12th, with clubs hitting retail shelves on January 22nd.

The drivers are priced at $600, the fairway woods at $350, and the hybrid at $279 each.
