Where it wins
- Looks86
- Feel84
- Sound82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing at a gentle pace and want a simple-launching, stable hybrid with a soft draw and a lovely look.
You want maximum speed, a low penetrating flight, or to work the ball — a faster, lower-spin utility fits better.
Pros
- Very forgiving and genuinely easy to hit, with a high flight
- One of the best-looking hybrids, with a stable Mizuno feel
- A mild draw bias that helps a moderate swing
Cons
- Not the longest or hottest — a modest ball speed
- A loud, high-pitched sound that won't suit everyone
- No adjustability, and the draw bias is subtle
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongSimple to hit and rock-steady — a slim crown and a low, rearward mass raise MOI, holding a mishit fast and straight.
Distance
StrongFair, not fiery — a thin face gives decent pace, but a high, spinny, drawing flight keeps it short of the hottest hybrids.
Workability
ModestA high, straight-to-drawing flyer — a forgiving head built to turn over gently, not to work shots either way.
Feel
ExcellentFirm and dependable in the hands — a well-balanced, planted strike that feels trustworthy off the centre.
Sound
ExcellentA loud, treble note at impact — a sharp, ringing click that reads as strong feedback, brighter than a classic Mizuno.
Looks at address
ExcellentOne of the tidiest hybrids around — a clean, slim Mizuno profile with a touch of offset that sits a treat over the ball.
