Where it wins
- Looks85
- Feel84
- Sound83
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You have some swing speed and want a fast, low-spin, forgiving fairway with a clean, modern look.
You need the cleanest contact from tight lies or a built-in draw — the draw-biased ST200 X helps a slicer more.
Pros
- Among the fastest fairways of its year off the tee, with a low-spin flight
- Forgiving and stable for a low-spin head, holding ball speed on off-centre strikes
- An adjustable hosel and a clean, modern shape at address
Cons
- Turf contact from tight lies lagged the best of its rivals
- A neutral, straight-flying head with little scope to shape shots
- No movable weights; only the hosel tunes flight
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongSteady for a low-spin head — a light sole and thinned crown add stability, so mishits keep much of their ball speed.
Distance
StrongIts headline — a fast maraging-steel face and low spin give big ball speed and a long, driving flight.
Workability
ModestA neutral, straight-flying head — it holds its line by design, with only the hosel to nudge trajectory.
Feel
ExcellentA firm, energetic strike — lively and solid off the face, with the quality response Mizuno builds in.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, ringing note at impact — firm and lively rather than muted, a shade louder than the ST heads that followed.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, modern shape that sits flat behind the ball, with face lines that make lining up straightforward.
