The JPX919 Hot Metal provides a benchmark in iron design , engineered for the perfect blend of ball speed and soft , controllable landing angles . High - strength Chromoly 4140M has paved the way to a new multi - thickness face that promotes astonishing ball speeds , while a seamless one - piece cup face construction ensures surprising levels of feedback even at such unprecedented ball speeds . It shares the JPX919 Tour ’ s new stability frame , which is open at the heel portion to enhance stability , launch and a loft - appropriate flight apex for controlled , soft - landing approaches . Re - engineered Sound Ribs have been developed to hit specific vibration patterns that ensure a satisfying sensation through impact , with the JPX919 Hot Metal featuring the same Pearl Brush finish as the JPX919 Tour . The JPX919 Hot Metal offers a steeper transition into more compact scoring irons and wedges , with set - matching gap , sand and lob wedges available engineered from a softer X30 steel and blessed with precision - milled grooves and faces for improved spin and control around the greens . “ The most impressive thing about the JPX919 Hot Metal is the launch control and flight apex ,” says Chris Voshall , Senior Engineer at Mizuno . “ The extra ball speed and distance doesn ’ t come from low - flying bullets - we work the design backwards from the correct landing angles . These are irons for the golf course , not just the launch monitor !”  Availability :   4 - LW / RH & LH JPX919 Hot Metal £ 120 / € 155 / SEK 1 , 449 per iron
