Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness88
- Feel86
- Looks86
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a stable, high-launching fairway that lands soft and feels good, without paying flagship money.
You want the outright longest, lowest-spin option — a dedicated distance fairway will beat it for yardage.
Pros
- Steadies off-centre hits superbly — a heel or toe strike still runs out to a useful number
- A high, steady flight that holds greens, with Mizuno's signature feel
- A sole shape that slides superbly through the ground, plus a genuinely adjustable hosel
Cons
- Solid but not among the longest — the higher spin gives up a few yards of carry
- A forgiving head with only modest shot-shaping
- No movable weights — flight tuning is via the hosel alone
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA genuine strong point — a flexing inner structure and light crown keep the ball fast on heel and toe strikes that usually die.
Distance
ExcellentSolid rather than long — impressive ball speed, but a higher spin profile trades a few yards for a steadier, greenable flight.
Workability
ModestA forgiving, high-launch head that flies fairly straight — the hosel tunes flight, but there's little shaping on tap.
Feel
ExcellentA refined, solid strike off the steel face — Mizuno's hallmark quality, smooth and satisfying through impact.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, muted note at impact — quiet and quality, well short of a loud or harsh crack.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, classy head at address — a composite-crowned shape with the understated polish Mizuno is known for.
