Highly resilient Forged SAT2041 Beta Ti Face: As a high strength Beta Ti, SAT2041 maintains its characteristics and resists micro fractures for longer than the commonly used 6-4 Ti.
New Multi-thickness CORTECH Face: Refined to maximize the return from Mizuno’s Beta Ti face. Ball speeds most noticeably improved low on the clubface
Quick Switch Adjustability: 4 degrees of loft adjustability to fine-tune look and trajectory
Optimized Wave Sole Plate: Delivers an additional contribution to ball speed – low from the clubface
Z Axis design for straight-line flight: Balanced use of carbon composite on the sole and deep central sole weight are biased towards a straight-line flight and low spin efficiency

After reading several reviews decided to take the plunge. Very glad I did. Not only has this Mizuno driver added distance off the tee, but as advertised, it is extremely forgiving.

It kept my drive straighter than what I was using.

The Mizuno ST-Z is a great driver. I debated over this and the ST-X bit decoded that the lower base 9.5 would be the ticket for me. I chose the hardest 60g X-stoff shaft and will say, I have an average club head speed of sound 115 mph, turning the club head over can be tricky woth this shift at that club head speed. I’ve had to go to a stronger grip to achieve this. I’ve seen guys with 120+ club head speed having an easier time turning this club over. Honestly, woth this combo, if your swing speed is less than 115 mph, you will probably want to stay with the stiff shift. The trajectory at the stock 9.5^ club face is a bit high for me, and lowering it may be what I do moving worward, however I’m launching it around 12*-13* woth fairly low spin, ball speed around 161 mph and carry + roll between 290 and 315.
Off the range and on the course I’m able to shape my shots easily enough, especially since a push to the right seems to be the natural shot for this club with my default neutral grip. With the strong grip the shot is more penetrating and straight as an arrow. Because I can’t turn the club face over naturally, a draw is not going tk happen right now, higher club speed would allow the shift to activate more freely, and the club face might be easier to close assisting with an easy draw.
At address, I’m a bit strown off with where the alignment aide shows the center of the club. At address, it is closer to the heal and looks odd, I haven’t had a new driver in over 12 years, so the modern tear shape is a new adjustment for me, as a result I’m hitting g kore on the toe than I like, which doesn’t help that push to the right lol.
The Larkin grip is nice, but the head cover is underwhelming. I don’t know where this trend for cheaply made headcovers came from and I’m not a fan of it, bit for the the time being this seems to be an industry trend. There is no padding in the headcover, it is well made, good stitching, quality lines, but there lacks an essential length to protect the shift from rubbing the bag. I’m also not a big fan of the color scheme, but it matched the driver head color scheme which I do like. The carbon fiber crown surprisingly acts as an alignment aide as well, the transition to the carbon crown creates a straight line, bit the pattern of the carbon fiber weave, in direct sunlight, creates a horizontal line to the mizuno alignment aide, very nice touch.
In summary, this club is great, my dad said he has never has more trouble seeing the ball come off a club face because of the higher ball speed. I can feel when a good shot is hit, and where on the club face the misses occurs, something I’ve struggled woth in the past with many other name brand drivers.
Great driver, take the time to get the riggr shift fitted for your swing and have fun, the price is also closer to what I use to pay 10 years ago for a new driver, so good on mizuno there as well.

Absolutely perfect. Consistent 275-300, very few bad shots and what bad shots there were, were slight right or slight left and still 200.
