The TaylorMade P790 and the Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro both sit in the players distance category, but the spec sheets pull in different directions. The P790 carries a forged, hollow body construction with a face insert and a Speed Pocket, and it holds the stronger editorial record on file: Golf Digest 92/100, MyGolfSpy 90/100 and Golf Monthly 92/100. The JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro has no technology tags on file and scores lower, 78/100 from Golf Digest and 86/100 from MyGolfSpy. Mizuno wins on value and set makeup. The stock set starts at the 4-iron and runs to an AW, while the P790 data starts at the 5-iron and ends at PW. The 7-iron loft is 29.5° against 30°, about 1 yard of extra carry, so check wedge gapping. At $1,099 MSRP it is $300 cheaper than the P790 at $1,399.
If feel and construction matter most, and the editorial record carries weight, the P790 is the pick. If price or a longer stock set is the priority, the JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro gives you a 4-iron and an AW for $300 less. Distance alone should not decide it, since half a degree of loft is worth about 1 yard. Buy the P790 for the pedigree, the Mizuno for the value.
