Mizuno is an elite golf brand, no doubt about it. Their equipment is made to exact tolerances and with no compromise in build whatsoever. The company have just launched its latest range to woo the golfing community and bring distance, forgiveness, looks and quality all in one great product. The Mizuno ST-Z 230 Driver takes over from the hugely successful 180 and 220 models and comes with a perfect blend of distance and forgiveness. With a classic head shape the ST-Z 230 Driver gives impressive consistent playability and a powerful feel at impact. This driver features all-new technology in the form of a CORTECH chamber that encases a stainless steel weight with elastomeric TPU. This new feature takes the stress away from the thinnest-ever clubface and uses it to create an additional source of energy. This also pushes weight closer to the face for less spin. Mizuno testing has shown a gain of between 2 to 5mph with a drop in backspin. This will certainly be welcomed off the tee box. A unified carbon sole plate pushes weight to the extremes of the head for higher stability. The back weight is located centrally in the back of the head, this ensures straight flight.
The look is again sensational, with a gloss black finish and carbon-effect pattern underneath. The Mizuno blue finish on the underside is striking and very appealing. Definitely one of the most premium-looking drivers of 2023. This Z model is designed to give a neutral ball flight and lower spin. The face design is again a work of art and is finished with the B-Titanium script in the top corner. A very lively and powerful feel and sound that is distinctly Mizuno, millions of golfers love this feel and sound. Mass is spread evenly to encourage a highly stable strike. Straight, stable and as forgiving as they come.
Mizuno prides itself in the sound they achieve in the ST range and the new ST-Z 230 is no exception. The company's famous harmonic research has built sound into the design, delivering vibration patterns that players adore. The optimised wave sole also contributes to added ball speeds, especially from strikes low on the clubface. 4º of loft setting adjustability allows personal fine-tuning of launch and trajectory. Nothing feels and sounds like Mizuno- more performance, more often.
