Mizuno’s JPX Fli-Hi hybrids are engineered to replace less reliable long and mid-irons to help golfers of varying standards get the most from the longer end of their golf bags.
The JPX Fli-Hi range of hybrids from 4 to 7 – designed to correspond directly to the irons they have been created to replace – are packed with innovative technologies to help golfers launch the ball high and land it soft from longer range. Weight is located internally on the back side to encourage a draw bias in addition to higher launch.
“We see a lot of players with moderate swing speeds who hit many of their longer irons the same distance. They just don’t have the clubhead speed or consistency of strike to launch the stronger lofted clubs,” said Chris Voshall, Mizuno’s director of product. “The JPX Fli-Hi is designed to give those players more practical distance gaps and consistency of flight.”
The Fli-Hi’s wider footprint delivers an even more playable, high-flying alternative to its predecessors. Its stainless steel 17-4 face and 431 body deliver an upgrade in ball speed, while the bendable hosel allows for adjustments in lie angle. A lighter crown allows for a higher ball flight, while a re-engineered Wave soleplate increases the effective high ball-speed area of the clubface to deliver more consistent ball speeds.
The JPX Fli-Hi range features a graduating profile from fairway wood to hybrid to maximize playability. The 20-degree (Fli-Hi 4) has a wider fairway-type profile, moving toward a tighter hybrid-type-shaped 29-degree (7) with a deeper face. With a deeper center of gravity than the irons they replace, the JPX Fli-Hi produces more predictable launch and spin rates, thereby more reliable distance gaps between clubs.
A Mizuno Swing DNA center offers qualified fitters to analyze and make recommendations. Each JPX Fli-Hi has a suggested retail of $137.50 per club.
