Mizuno JPX ONE: New Woods with High-Tech Faces for More Speed and Control

Mizuno introduces the JPX ONE series – drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids with high-tech faces for more speed, control, and classic Mizuno feel.

Founded in 1906, the Japanese golf manufacturer Mizuno presents its new family of woods. The Mizuno JPX ONE series consists of a new driver as well as various fairway woods and hybrids, which according to the manufacturer, redefine ball speed, forgiveness, and feel.

Mizuno JPX ONE: Driver with NANOALLOY Technology

The centerpiece of the new woods is the JPX ONE driver – the world’s first driver featuring NANOALLOY face technology. In collaboration with Japanese chemical and material manufacturer Toray, Mizuno has developed a novel microscopic polymer dispersion that enables the face’s elasticity to dynamically change at impact. This material stores and releases more energy upon impact than conventional titanium or composite constructions, generating higher ball speeds over a significantly larger sweet spot.

Combined with the newly developed CORTECH face, which is up to 0.35 mm thinner than previous generations, the CORAREA (high-speed rebound zone) increases by more than 15% compared to the ST-MAX series. Mizuno introduced two different driver models in total.

The standard JPX ONE driver has a slightly larger clubhead for increased stability and straighter ball flight, while the JPX ONE SELECT features a more compact, tour-tested shape with neutral to fade-biased weighting. Both models come with adjustable weight systems and a quick-switch hosel to precisely tailor launch and spin to individual needs.

Fairway Woods: CORTECH Technology for Maximum Energy Transfer

Also introduced were innovative fairway woods as part of the JPX ONE series. They feature a newly designed CORTECH chamber where the internal distance between sole and chamber wall is carefully varied. This geometry increases the flex of the face toward the toe and heel to maximize energy transfer across the entire face without compromising the center.

Each clubhead includes a surrounding composite crown that saves crucial grams at the top and lowers the center of gravity. This results in higher launch and reduced spin. A MAS1C steel face with variable thickness ensures maximum energy efficiency at impact, while the completely new sole enhances turf interaction, enabling cleaner hits and more consistent ball speeds from various lies. With lofts from 15° to 24°, the JPX ONE fairway woods offer an ideal balance of ball speed, forgiveness, and playable trajectory for golfers seeking effortless distance with the characteristic Mizuno feel.

JPX ONE Hybrids: Compact Design with Fairway Wood Technology

The JPX ONE hybrids adopt the fairway woods’ design philosophy but in a more compact, iron-like form. Their waffle-crown structure increases face stability, allowing Mizuno engineers to position available mass lower and further back in the clubhead. This supports optimal launch and maximum spin control.

Like the fairway woods, hybrids feature a MAS1C face combined with a CORTECH chamber and the innovative sole design. Available lofts are 19°, 22°, 25°, and 28°, providing a seamless transition from long irons to fairway woods.
