Mizuno ST-200
Mizuno ST-200 Series
Mizuno is continuing their advance into the woods market this year with the ST-200 driver and fairway models. A brand that for a number of years have been widely associated with their forged irons now also produces a Metalwood family that meets the same high quality that you know to expect from Mizuno.
The ST-200 series is made up of 3 different models which all come with a Beta Rich Titanium face, constructed with multiple thicknesses to deliver high ball speeds on both centred and off centred strikes. Together with the Wave Sole, and the variable thickness graphite crown this makes the ST-200 series an exceptional driver both when it comes to distance and forgiveness.
ST-200
This is the ultra-stable mid to low spin model. The stability comes from additional weighting pulled far back on the bottom of the clubhead. Mizuno had put in 11.6 gram of weighting to and delivers a very good balance between spin efficiency and forgiveness.
Who is this club aimed at?
Because Mizuno have been able to combine both low spin and forgiveness in the ST-200, normally you would have to pick one or the other, this driver is exceptional for any golfer with a mid to high swing speed.
Insider tips
The new addition to the already extensive Mizuno shaft options is the Mitsubishi Diamana Limited Edition shafts. And what a solid performer this shaft range have been so far. This shaft being added together with the ST-200 series is definitely not a coincidence.
ST-200X
This is the high launch and draw biased model in the ST-200 series. The draw bias comes from a unique head shape, with more mass and additional weighting in the heel. Designed to work together with Mizuno’s own MFUSION 39gram graphite shaft to increase clubhead speed and launch angle.
Who is this club aimed at?
This club is perfect for a golfer searching for a driver to help against a slice and if combined with the specially designed shaft from Mizuno also increase clubhead speed and distance.
Insider tips
In addition to the extra weight put in to make this club draw biased, if you play this club from the higher loft or upright setting this club will promote even more draw bias. In other words, if you struggle with a slice, that is the way to go.
ST-200G
This model is the most adjustable option in the ST-200 series. With the movable weighting this club offers options when it comes to fade or draw bias, and from mid spin all the way down to ultra-low spin.
Who is this club aimed at?
Because of the relative low spin this club delivers in all the different adjustment options this is a club that is best suited for a mid to high swing speed golfer with very good directional control.
Insider tips?
With the weight moved all the way forward this club will produce some absolute bombs when stuck correctly. And with the weight moved back and out in the toe is a great way to take the left side out of play.
