Mizuno ST200G

Adjustable, but tour-leaning - more reliable on mishits than the ST190G, with the Fast Track weights set to the rear adding forgiveness. A high-swing-speed head that's steadier than a typical low-spin tour driver but not as forgiving as the standard ST200. Stable when set back, demanding when set forward for spin.

The high-speed head - the lowest-spinning driver Mizuno had ever produced, built for high swing speed efficiency with about 2 mph more ball speed than the ST190G, and ultra-low spin that translates to strong distance for hard hitters. Long for the player who delivers speed.

A real strength - the Fast Track system's two 7g sliding sole weights introduce draw or fade bias and move the CG, letting golfers dial in a consistent shot shape or eliminate a miss. Genuinely shapeable, well beyond the standard ST200.

Solid and stable - the feel of the face is very pleasing, incredibly solid and stable, with a responsive, informative impact. A strong, confident sensation for a tour head.

The relative weak point - a little tinny in sound, despite work toward a Tour Preferred acoustic, though it's fairly loud but not overpowering. Confident but not refined.

A highlight - a sleek black finish, carbon-fibre crown and square set-up make for a clean look at address, ranking among the best-looking drivers of 2020. A premium aesthetic.
