Where it wins
- Feel85
- Looks85
- Sound84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You battle a slice and want a forgiving, high-launching fairway that turns the ball over, in a clean package.
You want the lowest spin, most distance, or shot-shaping — the neutral ST-Z fits better.
Pros
- A slice-fighting draw bias with no offset look at address
- Forgiving and easy to launch high, with strong ball speed
- A refined, quality Mizuno feel and clean shape
Cons
- Higher-spinning than the neutral ST-Z, at the cost of a little distance
- A draw-leaning head with minimal shot-shaping
- The draw weight is fixed; only the hosel tunes flight
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongSteady and forgiving — heel weighting and a rescuing sole keep a stray strike fast and heading left of trouble.
Distance
StrongLong and gentle for a slower swing — big ball speed and a high climb, though the extra spin shaves a touch of carry.
Workability
ModestA slice-corrector, not a shaper — the built-in draw weighting turns it over and leaves little to work rightward.
Feel
ExcellentA smooth, solid strike with Mizuno's quality signature — dependable and refined through impact, if not the hottest.
Sound
ExcellentA quiet, refined note at impact — clean and dampened, the muted acoustics Mizuno tends to deliver.
Looks at address
ExcellentA tidy, understated head that gives away no draw cues — a clean, classy footprint that most eyes will settle over easily.
