With so many hot, new drivers on the market, we placed a dozen of the leading offerings in the hands of some eager testers to gauge their thoughts.
MIZUNO JPX825
What Mizuno says:
Powered by the dark side, the JPX825 plays as mean as it looks. A five-piece titanium construction is the engine of the JPX825 – with specific variations of titanium used for each part of the clubhead. A forged 6-4 Ti face with two-layer thickness design is Mizuno’s hottest yet, with a rounded top edge designed to keep the face ‘alive’ across an even larger area.
The JPX825’s threatening clubhead tapers back from the face, hugging low to the ground, giving a clue to the relentlessly straight soaring drives its hot metal face wants to produce. The crown piece is thinned through a chemical etching process, reducing it to just half a millimetre. This allows a heavy weight to be fixed deep in the clubhead to launch the ball high, with low backspin. The black IP face and high-gloss black crown stare down the ball and tell everyone that you’re not about to go easy.
Who plays it: Stacy Lewis (pictured).
RRP: $329
