Choose the Forged if you strike it well and want the feel and the slimmer sole.
Choose the Hot Metal if you miss the middle or catch the ground first.
JPX925 Forged $1,225 · JPX925 Hot Metal $962.50, each with its shop and checked date
The Hot Metal is the more forgiving of the two: more offset (4.8 mm at the 7-iron against 3.2 mm), a wider sole and stronger lofts (a 28° 7-iron against 30°), with tungsten low in the long irons to help them launch. The Forged is a mid-sized, grain flow forged cavity that Mizuno aims at handicaps from scratch to mid; its face borrows the Hot Metal's CORTECH design for ball speed, with a forged feel. Both come left- or right-handed, in regular or stiff, as sets of seven.
Mizuno's forged midsize cavity for good to mid handicaps: 3.2 mm of offset at the 7-iron, a 20.4 mm sole and a 30° 7-iron, with smaller heads from the 8-iron down.
Mizuno's game improvement iron, with 4.8 mm of offset at the 7-iron, tungsten low in the 4- to 7-irons for a higher launch and a sole of varying thickness that lets more of the face flex.

Mizuno's two speed cavities share every loft (a 28° 7-iron), every lie and every length from the 4-iron to the GW, with the same cup face and tungsten low in the 4- to 7-irons.
