Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks90
- Distance88
- Workability84
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You strike it well, swing above 105mph, and want a fast, low-spin, workable head with a gorgeous look.
Your strike or speed is inconsistent, or you want maximum forgiveness — the standard JPX One helps more.
Pros
- One of the fastest, lowest-spinning drivers of 2026 for a strong swing — a Golf Digest 2026 Hot List pick
- Genuinely easy to shape, with a soft, consistent fade and a stunning tour look
- Keeps ball speed on off-centre hits better than past Mizuno drivers
Cons
- A compact players' head — the miss is punished more than on the standard One
- Wants 105mph-plus and a good strike to shine
- The alloy face doesn't give the soft feel Mizuno irons are famous for
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongReasonable for so compact a head — centre strikes fly fast and straight, but it bites harder on a real mishit than the bigger One.
Distance
ExcellentSeriously fast and low-spinning — weight set low and forward strips spin for a boring flight that chases on after it lands.
Workability
ExcellentA proper players' tool — the compact, fade-leaning head lets a good striker flight it and shape it on command.
Feel
StrongA quick, solid strike with good feedback — a touch softer than the look suggests, though short of Mizuno's fabled softness.
Sound
ExcellentA sharp, lightly metallic report at impact — pleasing, sitting between dull and piercing.
Looks at address
Class-leadingOne of the prettiest heads of 2026 — a small, tour-style shape in deep gloss navy that sets up gorgeously behind the ball.
