Choose the Forged if you strike it well and want a forged head with some help.
Choose the Hot Metal if you want more help on a mishit and stronger lofts.
The JPX923 Hot Metal is the more forgiving: Mizuno built it as a forgiving speed cavity for mid to high handicaps, where the Forged is its midsize forged cavity for good to mid handicaps. The Hot Metal has the longer head, the wider sole and 5.0 mm of offset at the 7-iron against 3.3 mm. Its lofts are stronger through the set: two degrees in the 4- to 6-iron, a 28.5° 7-iron against 30° and a 42.5° PW against 44°. The lies are the same, and the Forged is a quarter inch longer in every club. The Hot Metal is one piece of nickel chromoly with a thin cup face; the Forged is Grain Flow forged, with Chromoly in its 4- to 7-irons. Mizuno made both in either hand. We score the Hot Metal 3.5 of 5 and the Forged 2.
