Spotted: Mizuno JPX-900 Driver
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.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

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

jpx 850 was a SOLID driver. can’t wait to hit this and see if the 900 is an upgrade.

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

used mizzie drivers (mp 600, 650, jpx 850) for years and nothing has ever broken. They are hot though!
cr
Jul 9, 2016 at 4:37 pm
they don’t break for you because you don’t swing fast enough with your 75mph swing

Jul 11, 2016 at 10:00 pm
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.
