The JPX919 Tour promises tour - calibre performance with precision distance control . It is a more compact , streamlined evolution of Mizuno ’ s standout JPX900 Tour iron from 2017 / 18 , which helped to re - establish Mizuno as the iron of choice on Tour among both contracted and non - contracted players .   Grain Flow Forged HD ( High Density ) from a single billet of 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel in Hiroshima Japan , the JPX919 Tour offers the softest , purest Mizuno feel yet . The JPX919 Tour has that compact , lean look over the ball that elite shotmakers crave , with the top edge narrowed by 10 % compared to its predecessor to match the grinds most commonly requested on tour . Despite this , it offers surprising stability for a compact players ’ iron , delivering tight distance patterns on off - centre strikes courtesy of a frame that is open at the heel portion to enhance stability and launch , while still producing a tour - preferred vibration and sound at impact . " The JPX919 Tour ’ s compact profile doesn ' t tell the whole story ,” says Jeff Cook , Mizuno ’ s PGA Tour Manager . “ There ’ s a surprising level of stability and distance control built into this geometry . Its predecessor attracted a new wave of younger tour players into Mizuno irons and made a big impact by winning back - to - back US Opens and recording a course record 61 at St Andrews .”   The JPX919 Tour features a Pearl Brush chrome - plated finish to enhance durability and soften its precise lines in bright sunlight and can be built to a customer ’ s desired specification as part of a full , split or short set .
