Club Review: Mizuno STZ/STX Driver

By Justin Pahl, Miles of Golf Club Fitter 

It’s ShowTime, as Mizuno likes to say!  

The new STZ and STX drivers are the culmination of their 3-year rapid-fire development project to create the most widely played drivers its global tour staff has ever seen. Which in turn produces an incredibly good driver for a wide range of golfers. Now, the company known for its high quality, high performance irons, can compete with any of the titans of the 2021 driver category. 

Last year’s model, the ST200 lineup was exceptionally good. Fast ball speeds, good launch conditions, forgiving structure and solid feel were a few of the things that the ST200 line excelled at. The new STZ and STX models have improved each of those aspects to make these drivers faster, lower spinning, extremely stable and better feeling.  

They have 2 drivers in this lineup, the STZ and the STX. The STZ is the more neutral head. The center of gravity is pulled as far away from the face as possible which makes it Mizuno’s most stable or in other words, the most forgiving driver they have ever created. After hitting it, I can wholeheartedly back up that statement.
