How to identify this generation
- Confirm the HL suffix and compare the head to Mizuno's JPX925 gallery.
- Do not substitute standard Hot Metal or Pro lofts; those variants share 28° 7-irons.
What to notice in the specifications
- The HL 7-iron has 3° more static loft than the standard and Pro heads.
- The pitching wedge is 45°, compared with 42° in the other two variants.
- All three 7-irons list 37.25 inches despite different loft and head designs.
Checking a club you own? These are the maker's published figures for an original build, not measurements of your club, and a source date is not the year it was made. Bending, reshafting or a hosel adjustment changes loft, lie and length, so identify the head by its own markings and have a fitter measure it when its history is unclear.
