It is my mission to make this driver sing.
Mizuno ST-G220 Driver
If he sees it and gets back to it.

I mean... Yeah - I'm that kinda guy I suppose hahaha
I got Dean on the UW so it’s only fair. I’ve never seen a Mizuno driver. This will take some guess work

X is the fade killing draw beauty.
G is the low spin monster with weight manipulation at your disposal.
Z is scary and open hahaha
Wanna talk shafts? Hahaha Atmos Tour Spec Black?

I prefer counter balance

LOW SPIN on the G. Maybe the lowest I hit all year.

I thought I had a conversation at one point with someone who said we'd all be surprised at how many shafts are actually counter balanced.
For the longest time I was a die hard OG HZRDUS Yellow guy, which was awesome and CBed.

In my defense, I did call it a monster.
And I promised Vosh 1,000 of my RPMs of spin so I guess I am relegated to it anyways.
I’ll call the guy in Waverly OH and see if I can get a fitting. He does Callaway as well. Be an interesting shootout.

Two HEAVY hitters.
I’ll update when I get answers. This would be an expensive guess

I demand live posting during the fitting.
It would be choppy but worth it. I’ll keep that in mind.

I’m pretty humbled by this driver man. A bad swing and it’s laughing at me. A good swing though is pushing 275-280, and we like that.
Total newbie here, but stumbled across THP doing research...great site and forum, glad I found it! Anyways, I just picked up the ST-G 220 with an X-Stiff 60g HZRDUS Smoke shaft and can't wait to get it out on the range and the course to try it out. I went to a local Golfers WH store and hit just about everything I could...new Rogue MAX LS and Rogue MAX, Stealth+ and Stealth, Cobra LTDx and LTDx LS, G425 max, TSi2...just to name a few. I'm a high-ish swing-speed golfer (116-120 mph) that usually spins the crap out of the ball (3K plus, lots of times over 4K), and it goes very, very high...so I was obviously looking for something to lower my backspin. I initially was drawn to the Stealth, I liked the looks, felt great, forgiving etc...and the LTDx...I got my highest ball speed was with the Cobra. Then I asked the guy if he had the ST-G 220 in stock and they did...and just holding it, it felt much better...and the look, I loved it. Then I hit a few balls and couldn't believe the spin I was seeing, between 1600-2100 on good strikes...I've never seen those numbers before. Some stinkers <1000, but they were really bad strikes. Then the distance (all shots were made using full fade bias setting)...I was regularly hitting (on a Foresight LM) 320+ total distance, which I've also never seen before...the other clubs I was seeing a ton more spin and was at about 306-310 for total distance. I worked it down to the Cobra LTDx and the ST-G 220, gave each club 5 more swings, then on my last swing with the Mizuno I got 168 mph ball speed and 333 total yards, my jaw dropped...I couldn't believe it, and I walked out with the Mizuno. Overall it was just a better club for me on that day, better dispersion, a lot more "good" shots, much better distance, very forgiving...when I didn't strike it so well...the ball still got out there in play. Really hoping this all translates to the course, we shall see. I'd definitely recommend giving this club a try, especially if you're like me and have a tendency to spin the ball within an inch of it's life and have a really high ball flight. I'll report back once the snow melts and I can get back on the range. Thanks all...
