Depending on how your mind works, pursuing a new driver can mean one (or seven) of many things. Looks, sound, feedback, adjustability, tour presence, performance (etc)... With the JPX-850 from Mizuno, I find myself really fantasizing about the tech built into the head, and how I can fine tune this brilliantly blue driver to my swing. Weights that not only slide from the center of the head to the back but also can be removed to send out to heel or toe to promote draw/fade bias, and eight head adjustments really just scratch the surface of what can be accomplished.
And that blue.

Design Details
In 2007 Mizuno introduced a sliding weight system called Fast Track – to alter a driver’s draw/fade tendency. Mizuno has now evolved this breakthrough technology to also be able to customize spin rate and launch angle in the JPX-850 – helping all swing speeds achieve maximum possible total yardage. A massive playing profile with a low and deep extended weighting system launches the ball into an optimized, low spinning orbit – from whichever QuickSwitch setting you choose.
The piercing blue JPX-850 uses twin 8-gram weights which can be located on either the central sliding rail, or two lateral slots. With 10 unique settings, players of all head speeds can dial in their perfect launch and spin.
In combination with Mizuno’s Quick Switch shaft release system, the JPX-850 also offers lofts from 7.5 to 11.5 within one head for the ultimate in adjustability.
The JPX-850 head is a compact, powerful 440cc Titanium driver that utilizes a Rebound Crown to maximize ball speeds for unmatched distance.
Tech Spec
Fast Track: 10 unique flight settings (4 neutral, 3 draw, 3 fade) to dial in launch and spin for increased distance.
Quick Switch: 8 loft settings from 7.5 to 11.5 degrees.
Rebound crown: Rounded crown flexes at impact for explosive distance.
“The genius of the new Fast Track is that it adds the dimension of launch angle and spin rate. Now the player is truly in control of maximizing all aspects of their ball flight off the tee.”

. I'm jk, (honestly if it did have one, it would actually make me want it more) but I do think it's cool they are able to fit in all those adjustments to one head rather than splitting them out into 3 other heads. I imagine that makes managing inventory/stock really easy on local golf shops and for Mizuno.
