Spotted: Mizuno JPX-900 Driver

Published

Jul 7, 2016

Mizuno has a new driver on the USGA’s Conforming Club List. Called the JPX-900, the driver appears to have several adjustable elements, the most interesting of which is a sliding weight in the heel section of the club that looks to have the ability to alter face angle. There’s also a three-rail adjustable weight system that appears similar to the company’s Fast Track Technology used on its JPX-850 driver.

Mizuno is yet to offer any details on the new driver, so we can only offer our speculation. When the words open, neutral and closed are written on the sole of a club, however, we have to assume that face angle is being referenced. The ability to alter the face angle of the driver through an adjustable sole attachment, which would assumedly interact with the ground to make the club face point more to the left or more to the right at address, is a feature we haven’t seen used in a driver design since TaylorMade’s R1 driver was released in 2013.

Also visible in the black-and-white photo of the JPX-900 is an adjustable hosel, which gives golfers the ability to tweak loft and face angle simultaneously. The adjustable hosel, adjustable weights and adjustable sole attachment would offer golfers three levels of fine tuning that have to excite Mizuno fans.

Hit one today in San Antonio… Very solid, nice feel and sound, ball just explodes off the face… Try one you may be surprised… Also the 3 wood looks great, plus the 900 series irons and new wedges are a must see!!!

I have a secret device to open or close the face on ALL my clubs It’s:-
1) loosen your hold
2) rotate club open/closed by required amount
3) re-grip .
Damn, now the secret’s out , they’ll never sell another new driver .
Cheers all, Nige .

  i prefer to keep my strong grip where it is and like the driver head to rotate on its axis of the hosel adaptor, then turn my hips and shoulders to where i’m going to hit it and then swing the club on the path that gets me the curve of the ball I want. your mind blown

I think it’s safe to say that nobody cares about Mizuno drivers. Right, folks?

  By putting the COR beyond the limit with these Titanium clubs means it’s so thin there is a likelihood of face breakage more than the ones below the limit is why companies don’t risk taking it to that point as often as consumers would like, is why there is so much tech being put into golf balls

      they don’t break for you because you don’t swing fast enough with your 75mph swing

        Your high swing speed sky shots most of broken your drivers: “it’s a high pop up … back … back … oh foul ball”

Maybe a few to many adjustments for the average golfer to mess with. Personally, I don’t like drivers that force you to sole the club to adjust it.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

1 day ago

May 12, 2026

Gianni Magliocco

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
