Man I love the look of that!

That's a pretty solid increase in ball speed but a little concerning if spin gets too low. But, getting in to that shaft profile you mentioned should help a bit.

To be fair it’s something I struggle with on the Max K. I’m quite low spin on the driver. Another guy I saw hitting it in the Sim yesterday was not having any trouble with low spin.
 
Had a chance to hit the JPX One. Not a huge fan of the sole, but the face is very cool to see and the crown looks like a classic gloss crown, but with the deep navy blue that shows when it catches the light. Really nice, subtle incorporation of blue into the crown.

I knew I should be expecting a bit of a metallic sound at impact, but that first swing still took me by surprise. It was pretty fun to hear that crispy metallic sound.

Ive never gamed a Mizuno driver and it’s been a while since I’ve even swung one, but the JPX One, based on just a few swings, is definitely worth looking at more closely. It was right up there in terms of speed with the other drivers I hit. Not the absolute fastest, but 100% on par. I hit the 9* and did not experience the low launch that a couple people had mentioned.

First swing was a good one and between the sound and result, all I said to myself was “wow”.

this is actually a really good way to put it.
I very much like the sound personally.
It reminds me a bit of epic flash, which was a bit polarizing, but when you sent it, it sounds so freaking good

The Epic Flash was one of my favorite drivers for sound ever. It was explosive sounding. Interesting comparison there.
 
PGA Show eBay’ing?

Maybe….

SELECT!
 
This will be hit soon. This week. Slightly disappointed that initial feedback seems to indicate that it's not going to be the fastest release this year.
 
The more I see these, the more I want to hit them. Secretly I hope they perform the best for me when I go for a driver fitting.
 
I would like to try this one but I don’t think any place has any left handed demo heads in my area across GG, PGASS and a local shop that sells a ton of mizuno stuff.

The ST-Max was straight in my limited time trying one but wasn’t dialed in for my swing. Would really be curious if this one could compete for me.
 
I still can't get over the fact of how good this driver looks in pictures. I really need to go find it in the wild.

Me too if I'm honest.
 
The forecasted weather this weekend is likely putting a stop to my driving up to Watts in Memphis to hit them. :(

But, it will happen soon.

weekend looking brutal for the SE
 
To see evidence of long drivers to be optimally fit at 11 or 12* is wild to me. I like seeing that kind of difference in clubhead design/performance.
 
Wheeeeew.

Hot hot.

Select was waiting for me when I rolled in last night.

Really excited to mess around with this one, just couldn’t say no.

After seeing it at the show, it was a good call. Absolutely insanely good looking clubhead.
 
I'll be hitting these tomorrow at my fitting. Should be fun.

I didnt hit the select, just the core head, but this release looks very good. The crown in particular and look at address is fantastic. Very clean top, looks plain and not distracting at all, but then when it catches a little light you get a glimpse of that dark/deep blue.

I’m over the moon excited to start working with it
 
The select is just insanely good in hand.

Although im already planning on turning the loft up on the 9.0 head I bought because they definitely are lower launching.
 
@Lord Tox you were right.

Holy cow this is an animal.
 
So, the Select driver head.

I've got about a dozen swings on it indoors since my garage is cold as all get out right now (gotta get that mini-split installed haha) and its early, but it really does have the makings of something SPECIAL this season.

Speed right now is the standout, as has been talked about a lot. In fact, its faster than my OPTM LS, which surprised me a little bit.

I think the sound is actually really good. Its a nice in-between of things. But, its also in a cold garage. That said, I did hear a TON of people hitting these at the PGA Show demo day and it was good there too.

That brings us to launch. It is a low launching head, for sure. I'm a HIGH ball hitter with driver, and I'm seeing 30-32 yard peaks at standard 9.0. So, next time I'm going to loft it up a little and see whats what.

Even then, spin is low, speed is high, my excitement is growing.
