Hoping to pop the new Mizuno Driver in the fitting I’m doing with you good pal Mr Hibbs at TourX soon
Stz is sick. Wish I kept mine….into the tsi3 now and it is also very nice
Most golfers need help getting their woods in the air. They need more loft and spin, not less.
Do you guys ever do a brackets competition for fairway woods, hybrids, and irons?
Don't move away from a fairway wood that works
Personally, I don't want to have my woods br absolute low spinning bullets. I cranked the lofts on my 3/5W so I could hold a green better when attacking pins. Distances are pretty consistent so this helps me with my course management. For reference, I'm a 20HCP.
Its going to take a lot to get me out of my Cobra Speedzone 3w, absolutely flies, very forgiving and been my club off the tee when the driver fails. Think the Stz looks the business though.
I'm using an st200 ts and loving it. Mainly as a tee club and it's good in the wind. The feel/sound is superior to others.
I bought a Mizuno 3wood a few years back because of TXG. Great club but it never found a purpose in my bag with all other clubs and shafts. (Your 'fault' again).
So, my youg neighbour who is 1-2 in HCP who use to compee for the club but lost confidence and had too work a wee to much etc… got to try the club with various shafts.
Around Sept 2022 I asked him what he thought and he said he loved it. He was not a 3wood guy but with driver struggles it fit both off and on the tee.
So I gave him the club and shaft selecred. I rather have it loved than stuck in my storage somewhere
Just got fitted last night for the ST-Z 230 driver, 3 wood and 19° hybrid. They're UNREAL and I have never enjoyed hitting woods as much as I'm enjoying these so far. 10/10
What happens when the tpu dries out and cracks and that steel weight just falls out? Garbage can?
Looks like a great club. With this kinda heat, though, would have liked to see a 16.5. It's understandable though that it may not sell enough for it to be viable for Mizuno.
Fitted for the ST-X 230 driver and the ST-X 3 wood and ST-X 4 Hybrid.
Very consistent with the driver and most shots stayed on the fairway way more forgiveness than my current setup. I didn't get on well with the new STZ 230 woods and hybrid though, it's a shame they didn't bring out an X model in the new 230 range and have to stick with the older 220 colours. But I hit the ST-X 220 better so the proof is in the numbers.
Old ST-Z 3 and 5 woods will be tough to get out of my bag. Love the flight and distance balance I get out of them.
Nothing feels like a Mizuno not even their driver and woods.
Have hit other fairway clubs and they only ones I get along with are ping and mizuno.
Absolutely considering the Mizuno driver and fairway woods this year! I am a pretty reasonable driver of the ball with my miss the high, spinny, slice. So, I think for driver, I need to consider the STZ. But I want to maintain good launch, which I can struggle with. Same goes for fairway woods. I compensate by lofting up! Yes, the old SLDR campaign. I play a 10.5 driver loft (PXG Gen 5 with the weights forward) and carry a 16.5 and 21 Sim Max 2 so that I can get some carry. I do tend to lose a little distance on my 16.5, so a 15-degree that launches well could be the ticket. I hope to try both the driver and fairway woods soon. If you have any thoughts, I would love to hear them 😉
“That’s the ideal shot”
Yep…
No HL option? No LH 5 wood…shocking. This company continues to not provide proper options for all players. Hard to support them…
I think I like the old one for over all utility but I’d you want the low spin bomb the new one is it but it probably won’t hold a green
I want to see you compare the mizuno's
to a ping i20 – 2 hybrid, absolute rocket of a club.
Nice, but not in the class of the TSR3 rocket 3W. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I dont want my Fairway to go further….
Stick with the old one. This new one did not add anything of value.
Lst??? Where da ping at?
When are you releasing the jpx923 forged and your reviews? Or have you not done a video on them?
I would play the old. I need a more versatile wood. Not a micro driver. Prefer the higher launch
My STZ 5 wood is never leaving my bag, it’s too good
I believe my rbz is made with carpenter steel,,, I'd like to see a video done with other carpenter steel woods to compare them. I love the sound and feel of my rbz!
With that heat, i think a 5 wood would suit a lot of people
Wish you’d test a 5 wood! Would love to see Matty’s distance with a 5 wood.
