Hitting the USGA conforming list are two new drivers from Mizuno. The ST-X 220 and the ST-Z 220 drivers and while we cannot give out a whole lot of information as of yet, looking at the images portrays some growth from the current models.
What are you seeing here that offers some different designs from the current models?
There were no sliding weights in the Z or X this past year either, fwiw.
Ooops. I googled Mizuno drivers 2021 and saw the weights without looking further.
Yes sir, the G which just came out has adjustable weights and the X and Z which came out earlier did not.
we have a great video with Vosh in the tech studio breaking those down
Looks like what they did in the most recent Z and X, it’s interchangeable for fine tuning SW and dialing in.
Appears to me like they’ve changed the Wave Sole Plate slightly; extending it more toe and heel – maybe looking to increase forgiveness?
And also the weighting seems to be pushed further back (in a different shape of course).
I also like the change in location for the runningbird logo. Less likely to be worn.
One of the best logos in all of sports!
And they’re pretty phenomenal
I see some big time weight allocation going on here!!
I would venture a guess you are right, based on the current models and their overall design remaining pretty neutral.
I thought the same but its subtle not full blown heel side. Z with weight all the way back reminds me of Cobra XB in that dept. Bet it launches high and is forgiving.
I think it is starting to happen. It is really hard to gain ground on the big 3 or 4 OEMs that dominate this category.
Not one vendor in my state carry’s Mizuno woods. I know my irons and hybrids won’t change, nor my putter. I’m open to a 3 wood and driver fitting. Just requires a 3 hour drive to swing a golf club.
guess i need to stop procrastinating on selling my ST-x before the value drops
How is one deemed worse? Maybe less of a fit individually? I’m not sure I have seen worse personally
Maybe "worse" wasn’t the best choice of words. More doubtful that there will be any improvement in such a short time. Of course I would relent that until we all get a chance to see and test them out ourselves, my opinion is just guesswork.
I found myself thinking of Titleist when I stated "worse". I think the 907 line wasn’t seen as in improvement over their previous product cycles overall. I’m sure some liked them though.
How would you compare this to the ST-G?
I hit the previous ST-X which is still my favorite driver of 2021, not this new one, but THP will have LOTS of info soon.
Same here! I hit the 200 ST-Z driver and 3 wood after I had my bag set. Both were fantastic! The 220 versions are on my radar!
Lots of info coming soon. Embargo and all that
Damn Embargo…I’m getting sick of that guy
I think when demo days emerge again you will see the sheep start to try their wood clubs
Sheep? I’m confused
Thks James did not realize this. Saw am Instagram on it and posted the question, how long is the embargo?
