Above-average forgiveness — waffle crown + deep internal weighting + Wave Sole low-face forgiveness; multiple reviewers confirm.

At just 1.88mm, the ST-X 220's MAS1C face is the thinnest hybrid face in Mizuno's history, and in comparison to previous ST-X and CLK, the new model produces the highest ball speeds Mizuno has ever recorded with a hybrid. During testing, an average swing speed of 92.2mph resulted in an average ball speed of 127.7mph. It's not particularly long or hot in terms of flight or feeling off the face, but reviewer testing recorded 197 yards of carry distance with the ST-X 220 hybrid. Average distance — fastest Mizuno hybrid ball speeds on paper, but reviewers describe the in-flight result as modest rather than long.
