Mizuno JPX 850 driver being fitted throughout the UK from 2nd February

The JPX-850 wood line has landed in Europe and is now being fitted throughout the UK. Shipping commenced on February 2nd. 

The next generation of Mizuno’s industry leading FAST TRACK sliding weight system has been making waves since a prototype was spotted in play at the 2014 Players Championship. The Shockwave sole JPX850 fairway woods have been in Stacy Lewis’s bag since July – in a blacked out version.

The JPX850's are immediately available with Mizuno co-engineered Fujikura Orochi a graphite shaft or the Motore Speeder 6.3 Tour Spec – with other shafts available through a custom program.

European Tour Operations Manager, Alex Thorne has been testing the 850 driver since July 2014.  “The 850 is a great driver to work with, because of the range of adjustability built into the head. Generally it’s a very low spin design – which is a great start on tour. But there’s no one weight setting that seems to suit everyone.  Most of the guys have gone for one of the three ‘straight’ or four ‘fade’ settings – but they’re nearly all different.”

European Marketing Manager, David Matthews, “With a moveable loft from 7.5 to 11.5, this driver quickly becomes a lot of fun for amateurs too. Our fitters have unlocked a lot of distance for mid handicap guys by adding loft and moving the weights to the forgiving, external settings. In the US the JPX850 has been our fastest selling driver in well over a decade. By the end of January, Mizuno US were already out of stock until mid April. The early signs are that the JPX850 will track a similar path in Europe.”

The JPX850 wood series will be available for testing at Mizuno’s Fitting Day program and Performance Fitting Centre network from Feb 2nd.
