2018 Official Forum Member Review - Mizuno ST180 Driver

Recommended Posts

You could always learn to golf the correct way.... Just saying it's an option

 

The sound is slightly higher and slightly more tingy than my GMax, really, I think it sounds closest to the ping G from 2 years ago but a little quieter.

It isn't offensive like my old Cleveland Monster Hibore XLS, but I think it is the weakest part of the driver.

Bump for my stage 1 being up!

 

Please ask any and all questions possible. I want to know what the people want to learn about this thing!

My biggest curiosity is the sound, is it a muted sound when the ball comes off the face, or is it a bell like sound?

 

Edit, just saw some comment about the sound guys, thanks fo the awesome info

Went out too the driving range yesterday with my trusty VoiceCaddie and the combatants. Used the ShotTracer app on my phone and my wifes slightly less than steady hands to take some videos of the two. These were the two best ones, and the Crow laughing really adds to the sound track.

I know we've been talking about the sound of the driver in this thread a bit, but I feel a need to say this, and I preface it by saying this is my express opinion and mine alone. If you're concentrating on the sound at impact as to potentially affecting a purchase decision of any golf club, I think you're nuts.

thanks for the video. I was finally able to pick out the difference in the sound. It is very subtle,but yes,the Mizuno is a tad more muted.

 

Sorry for beating up on a dead horse just going through all the posts.

I'm glad to see Mizuno getting some credit for something other than just their Irons. I know the matte blue is a polarizing color for many golfers but I kinda love it! I might have to take a crack at this driver once it starts hitting the used rack. I'm looking forward to all of your thoughts in stage 2.

Yep! Although we don't have a year long golf season, we are blessed with several great golf shops in the area! I'll have to stop by after work one of these days.

I know sound has no effect on the performance of the club but mentally it can be very detrimental to my game. There was not enough money on Earth to get me to play the Taylormade R1, the sound that made was like nails down a chalk board to me 😒😝

The blue is really a stunning color, and it does well in direct sunlight. Personally, I think it is the 2nd best looking driver this year behind the Cobra F8.

Been a rough two weeks of golf for me. Work has had me in Ohio, Oregon, California and Washington in the last 10 days. But I have a weekend to practice, then the state Mid amateur tournament starting Tuesday.

How was the accuracy with off center strikes?

Did they still fly fairly straight or where they all over the place?

They went in the direction of the swing path, which I thought was good. Also got good distance from them. Obviously most, if not all of it was operator error, but the driver did bail me out a bit.
