It was LOW. It’s fast as hell, but man it’s low spin.DUDE. Remember when I was hitting it at HQ? I had to switch heads because it was so low

was able to hit this yesterday and I have mixed emotions. It definitely performed for me but the sound was awful IMO. Maybe outdoors it sounds different but initial reaction is this is not a driver id want to hit repeatedly. I know sound is something stupid to complain about if it performs but it bothers me enough to not want to play something I dont like the sound of
Performance wise, just like the previous 2 G series, this was super low spin. I hit 13 launch and sub 2000 spin over and over. For my offseason swing I was very impressed with the speed also. I didnt get to play around with all the weights but properly fitted I think this would be a very tough driver to beat head to head

Todays influx of Mizuno driver stuff made me think about this driver. How low spin would it be in comparison to the 220z with the weights in the back?
Looks like the G still beats it out:
That’s the old Z….and I can say having done that comparison as well, the G is still lower launching and spinning than the Z. The G might be the lowest spinning and launching head I tested this year.

You are typically a very high ball hitter are you not?From what I'm seeing, I second this. I may have to put the weights in the back or loft it up. I'm still not quite sure what I just said outloud.
I had to do both, and it was still not quite enough. But on the nuts, filthy long.From what I'm seeing, I second this. I may have to put the weights in the back or loft it up. I'm still not quite sure what I just said outloud.
I am, yes. For me, this thing is like hitting wind cheaters. In current neutral mid flight setup at 9 degrees, I wouldn’t at all be surprised if I was launching 8-10 degrees on a normal swing. Normal for me was 13-16.You are typically a very high ball hitter are you not?
As someone who is 15-20 handicap and struggles a little with distance (210-220ish carry) would this be too low spinning for me? Ball speed maxes out around 140mph, no idea what my usual spin numbers are.
I like the level of adjustability and Golfworx are doing a deal with this and the ST-Z 3W for just over $510 which is a great price for two clubs.
Hoping to see my swing and distance improve a bit this year too so the adjustability makes sense from that perspective too.
I think it depends on your swing speed, and based on the numbers you provided, I assume you are in the high 80s, low 90s. Because I was getting similar numbers. I preface the following by saying I love the feel of the club and it's fun to swing. I have 3 shafts for it, one is mid launch, one is mid- hi and the last is high. I got the most distance from the high launch shaft. But still most drives were in the 220-230 zone. So, to sum up, I do not think you will get the laugh or spin you need to increase distance. I think one needs a faster swing and consistent launch angles. I did find when I worked on launch I could move the weights to the sides and get a bit more distance, but still inconsistent - probably due to the low spin.As someone who is 15-20 handicap and struggles a little with distance (210-220ish carry) would this be too low spinning for me?

No I made a mistake! It's $770510 for both total?

Hope that helps.
Cheers Des. Wasn't looking for more distance with it, just not losing any due to the spin.It's not a deal if it does not work for you.
Based on how you described your swing, I'd say no, you will not get extra yardage with it. It is low spin, to get some spin, you'd have to hit down on that driver and then the ball would not launch and because it's low spin it would still be low and not spin. Nowheresville.
It only comes in 9 deg. It's a good driver for high speed, high launch players who would probably need to play a different shaft than their usual.
Find something else. I think the 2020 fairways also need more speed to make them work - especially a 3 wd. They are excellent fairways, lots of cc's but you need more than a 85-95 driver swingspeed to get them to go.

No I made a mistake! It's $770
