The Mizuno JPX 923 irons launched in 2023 across three variants: Hot Metal (game-improvement distance), Forged (players' distance), and Tour (compact players). All three benefit from Mizuno's hallmark grain flow forging and exceptional feel — even the Hot Metal, which uses a different construction, delivers the quality finish Mizuno is known for.
Mizuno irons hold their value exceptionally well in the Australian market due to limited supply — Mizuno does not have the same retail saturation as TaylorMade or Callaway in Australia, meaning used stock is scarcer and prices hold up strongly.
Mizuno's import premium in Australia is real and justified. The JPX 923 in any variant is a genuinely premium product that you'll rarely find discounted heavily in the used market. The Hot Metal is underrated as an all-rounder — it genuinely appeals to 8–18 handicappers who want distance with Mizuno's famously pure feel. Don't be surprised to pay close to the prices above.
All prices are AU$ private sale estimates for right-handed clubs with stock shafts unless otherwise noted.
| Variant / shaft | Like new | Good | Average | Worn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JPX 923 Hot Metal | $1,100–$1,400 | $880–$1,100 | $680–$880 | $440–$650 |
| JPX 923 Forged | $1,250–$1,550 | $1,000–$1,250 | $780–$1,000 | $510–$740 |
| JPX 923 Tour | $1,350–$1,650 | $1,080–$1,350 | $840–$1,080 | $550–$800 |
Left-handed sets have a smaller AU buyer pool. Deduct 10–15% from the ranges above for left-handed clubs unless otherwise noted in the price guide.

Mizuno irons are frequently reshafted to premium options, particularly by players who specifically seek out Mizuno's feel:
Australian prices consistently run 15–25% above FX-converted US and UK equivalents. Use this table to verify that a listing is priced correctly for the AU market.
| Condition | PGA VG (USD) | → AUD | Golfbidder (GBP) | → AUD | AU private sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Like new (Hot Metal) | ~$635 | ~$984 | ~£545 | ~$1,063 | $1,100–$1,400 |
| Good (Hot Metal) | ~$500 | ~$775 | ~£430 | ~$839 | $880–$1,100 |
| Good (Forged) | ~$570 | ~$884 | ~£490 | ~$956 | $1,000–$1,250 |
| Good (Tour) | ~$615 | ~$953 | ~£530 | ~$1,034 | $1,080–$1,350 |
Australian used prices are higher than international equivalents due to lower supply, higher import costs on new equipment, and limited price transparency. This is real and structural — not seller optimism. If a listing is at FX-converted US levels, that is a genuine deal.
Selling: Facebook Marketplace and the Golf Clubs For Sale Australia group are the fastest platforms for popular models. List at the top of your price range with "offers welcome". eBay AU gives broader national reach but charges 12–14% in fees — factor this into your asking price.
Buying: For popular models, don't rush. The AU used market for mainstream clubs is well-stocked and most listings are priced optimistically. An offer 10–15% below asking on a well-priced listing is a reasonable opening position. Always ask for photos of the face, sole, hosel and shaft label before committing.
