Mizuno JPX Fairway Wood Has a High Technology

Sometimes I'll think of the things I do for golf, and all I can do is laugh. It's during the winter doldrums that the pull of this crazy sport seem to render me even less sane than normal. The past two weeks are a prime case study whenever my wife decides to have me committed.

Sleep deprivation, long drives at odd hours to check out new golf gear, practice sessions in the snow. They all add up to a weird mix of dedication, passion, desperation and without a doubt, obsession.

The new JPX Fairway Wood is Mizuno's latest high tech fairway. Featuring Mizuno's UDS technology (Ultimate Dynamic Stability), it has super large sweet spot and low center of gravity produce trajectory optimized for maximum distance.

But this year, for many of us, the snow showed up, and it's never gone away. Even after a couple days above freezing, I still have 3-4 feet of snow piled up in my backyard. What does all this have to do with golf? Well, I'm learning that snow fuels the golf fever more than anything else on earth. There is no grass to think about seeking out a bundled up nine holes. There are no options to chip balls around in the backyard. Even the driving range provides little relief, as I learned a week ago.

The odd thing was, upon arrival, I realized there were already 15 or so people in line, so I knew that I wouldn't be getting a gift card. As I was about to say forget it and head home, I considered that I'd likely get back on the couch, spend some time reading golf message boards, then head to bed. So, how many times do you get to hang out in a golf shop at midnight? I ended up sticking around, and it was a pretty good time.

I saw at least one Mizuno JPX sell, and there was a steady stream at the register. From a personal perspective, I became far more aware of these drivers and was really surprised by how well I hit them both. Certainly in the mix as I hunt for my 2011 weapon of choice.

In the end, it all leaves me - and my fellow members of the golf addicted class - to make some really strange decisions, all in the name of scratching that itch, or finding that fix.
