Where it wins
- Feel85
- Looks85
- Sound84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You fight a slice or want an easy high draw, and value a soft feel over top-end speed or adjustability.
You want to adjust the flight, work the ball, or need the most speed — a newer, adjustable hybrid fits better.
Pros
- Very forgiving and easy to launch, with a built-in draw
- A genuinely soft feel and pleasing sound — a Mizuno strength
- A clean, tidy look at address
Cons
- No adjustability — you're locked into the high, drawing flight
- Only fair distance — not the fastest hybrid
- A 2021 model, now several years old
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongForgiving and simple to hit — a slightly bigger, offset head with deep weighting keeps a mishit fast and turning gently left.
Distance
StrongSolid rather than long — a quick face gives fair pace, but the high, drawing flight and 2021 tech leave it mid-pack.
Workability
ModestA high, drawing flyer — an offset, forgiving head that turns the ball over, not one made to hold a fade or shape.
Feel
ExcellentA Mizuno strength — a genuinely soft, cushioned strike off the face, a step above most hybrids for feel.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, satisfying note at impact — smooth and mellow rather than loud or harsh, matching the soft feel.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, tidy Mizuno head — a smart, simple shape with a little offset that reassures without looking bulky.
