Mizuno JPX 925 Fli-Hi Utility Iron

Game improvement is the label here, which separates the JPX 925 Fli-Hi from the Mizuno Pro version sharing its name, and the loft card follows suit: 19, 22, 25 and 28 degrees, reaching much further down the bag than a driving iron would.

A 17-4 stainless steel face sits in a multi-material head, with UST Mamiya's Recoil DART ESX as the only shaft, in graphite, across flexes from ladies to X-stiff, in either dexterity. Four heads at three-degree steps is set-building rather than gap-filling territory. That distinction matters. A golfer could reasonably carry two or three of these in the space the long irons used to occupy, all of them behaving the same way.
