Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness90
- Looks89
- Feel80
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing at a moderate speed and want maximum forgiveness, an easy high launch, and a gorgeous look.
You swing fast and spin the ball too much, want to work it, or chase the lowest spin (try the Select).
Pros
- One of the most forgiving drivers of 2026 — dead straight from a big, high-MOI head, and a Golf Digest 2026 Hot List pick
- A genuinely striking, premium look — one of the best of the year
- The extra spin helps moderate swings carry the ball
Cons
- One of the spinnier drivers of 2026 — a fast swing can lose distance to spin
- The new alloy face doesn't deliver the soft feel Mizuno irons are known for
- Stability-first — no movable weights and little shot-shaping
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingOne of the most forgiving drivers of 2026 — a big, high-MOI head that flies dead straight and shrugs off a poor strike.
Distance
StrongThe catch: it spins more than most 2026 heads, so a quick swing can lose a little carry, while steadier speeds actually gain from it.
Workability
ModestA big, stability-first head — it wants to fly straight, so there's little room to bend a shot on purpose.
Feel
StrongA hard, springy hit off the novel alloy face — reviewers split on it, and it misses the buttery softness Mizuno's blades are loved for.
Sound
StrongA low, muffled thump rather than the bright ring of titanium — solid and lively, though never unpleasant.
Looks at address
ExcellentOne of 2026's prettiest drivers — a big but tidy head with a restrained navy-tinted crown and a shiny composite top.
