thanks for the video's mark! I'm a 13-15 handicapper with a mid 80's swing speed with a 6iron, watched your old video on the jpx's, then went out and got fitted for a new set. after being tired of being 2 clubs shorter than my playing partners, all i have to say now is BOOM!!!!!!!!! the clubs give me at least an extra 10 yards and a very high launch when i need to get them up. more than anything they're very easy to hit and very forgiving, giving me a huge confidence boost in my iron play!!!!
I tried the Burner 2.0 today (Std setup, graphite shaft - they didn't have the JPX). After a warm up with my present 9i and 6i and after a few swings I got the rythmn of the club right and well struck shots went about 15y longer than my present 6i and felt wonderful in the hands. Off shots went on line but shorter by 10 yards approx. I am definitely considering them along with the JPX800, Cobra S3, Wislon Ci9. Great series, thanks a million. Seamus, 15h/c hoping for better......
Hi, great video. I ordered myself the JPX800's on Saturday. I got custom fitted and had a good experience at American Golf. Tried before buying and the Mizuno's just launch off the face like you said. Can't wait for them to arrive! Thanks for your help
I was considering both of these clubs and ended up going with the Taylormade burner 2.0's with graphite shafts... I really like Mizuno's but chose the Taylormades because they were more readily available used at better prices online. Probably has to do with the success of the rocketbladez irons. Paid $350 for the Taylormade graphites 5-AW and then bought an Adams Ideatech V4 hybrid for my 4 iron. I'm about a 15 handicap and feel like I have a dream set of new irons!
I hit both of these clubs (along with Cobra S3s). While Mark is giving feedback on good hits it was actually the mishits, because of my inconsistency, (along with trajectory) that led to my decision to go with the Mizuno JPX 800s... The Cobras felt really good, on all hits, but I really couldn't decipher between the sweet spot and those slightly off (keep in mind I was only hitting into a net at the golf shop). They weren't quite as hot as the other two sets.
As I expect mishits to happen more with my game as I haven't played very much for years and it'll take some time before I have much consistency I decided that the 800s were right for me. The 1st time out was really quite bad as it had been 6 months since my last round but, the 2nd time (after practicing with some birdie balls - Mark, you should really review them as they are fantastic) was awesome. Again, I apologize for the huge post but just wanted to give a duffer's opinion.
The Taylormades fired hard but the trajectory seemed much lower. The mishits gave plenty of feedback but also seemed much harsher than the other two. The Mizunos were perfect. They were hot off the face, had a higher trajectory, and the mishits gave sooo much feedback yet still managed to feel good. I hope this makes sense but I knew if I hit it off the toe, thin, left the face open, but it still felt smooth off the face and far less punishing than the 2.0s.
Sorry, I typed all this up then realized there was a character limit. I put some time into so I'm just gonna make multiple post. Just read them backwards or whatever you need to do. I'm a recreational player. I've played less than 10 times a year the last 5-6 years. I typically shoot 90-95. I have more free time and have decided to play a lot more golf. I was desperately needing to update my irons (Taylormade Super Steel Burners).
hey mark imjust starting off with golfing right now im using these doug sanders irons that were my grandpas and i was looking at the 2.0s and the jpx 800s what club do you think would be best for someone just starting?
I actually didn't like the Taylormades, believe it or not I lost distance lol compared to my nike victory red full cavity. Also I found them a bit chunky, I am not a good player but I do prefer a more classic and more skinny iron. Now I wanna try the JPX800 pros and the MP53's. Don't mean to put anyone off this is just my opinion
Video Response Request Are the TaylorMade Burner 2.0's longer than standard size or longer than the others? I just purchased some, and can't stop hitting fat shots.
I don't get the mentality of these irons, they are low CG irons, yet you launch them lower than you launch a blade like an MP68 (based on your other reviews), therefore as you said they are playing 2 clubs stronger. Why are people so obsessive about iron distance, I hit a 6 iron about 155-160 carry I really don't need a 6 iron I hit 180 I have a 4 iron for that. It's worse at the low end how many gap wedges would I need...? 3 maybe.
Bought the TaylorMades. Why? They cost less and most of the country clubs in my area fit for the TaylorMades and hardly anyone, other than big box stores, carry the Mizunos. TaylorMades also has frequent demo days in my area but Mizuno does not.
Interesting. He says they are virtually the same but his best shot with the TM was better than his best shot with the Mizuno. Same with his worst shots with each club. Plus he hits a shot down in the 4000s and a low 14.2 degree launch angle with the Mizuno which was his worst shot by far. I think the TM's performed better in this test if you listen the LM readouts.
I know this comment is 5 months later from when you posted, but fat shots could be do to your swing. Your hands might be releasing too soon causing you to get caught up in the turf behind the ball and coming through the ball fat.
Hi there, love the channel.. I went for the Mizuno's because I felt they offered much better feel and I hit them more consistenty and found they were more accurate. both are great clubs though, but i felt it was easier to enhance my game with the mizuno's because they had a much better feel.. Just wondering though if you could take a look at my channel please, because I've got a video of my swing up there and just wondered if you could help me sort it out? my channel is 'billybobsmile' cheers

Both have good feel. I went with the chrome 2.0 vs the JPX 800 purely because of cost. Burner was $310, JPX was $499

Dang Mark, what did you change in your swing? It looks longer with better tempo, nice!
