Mizuno ST190 & ST190G Drivers Thread


null

Recommended Posts

There's a lot of buzz with about Mizuno's new drivers.  Mizuno expects that their staffers will opt to game Mizuno metal woods rather than going for another driver.  

Have you demoed the new Mizuno drivers or are you gaming one?  Use this thread to talk about them!

Have seen them in hand from the rep, but didnt' get a chance to hit them.  But they look fantastic, and he said the guys who have tried them in Europe and a few in the US on Tour plan on putting them in the bag in 2019.   Will definitely be waiting in line at the PGA Show demo day to give them a try.

...  LOVE that the Mizuno ST 190 will keep up with TM, Ping, Cally and Cobra. Pictures look great and performance seems to be equal to all the other drivers listed above. Pretty good endorsement that DLIII put one in his bag.

It will be interesting to see how driver share gets divided up between Cobra, Srixon and Mizuno

I myself played the JPX 850 Driver and have to say the thing was a flat out bomber. Throw in the Tour Spec Speeder that came stock and it was well worth the price. My only complaint was that it wasn't as forgiving as the other drivers on the market. If Mizuno figured that out with these, they could be winners!

So, I was really the only one of the four of us selected for last year's ST180 testing to get along with the club in a big way, so I love my Mizuno driver and if the ST190 is an upgrade, it's a hell of bomber. I don't see the need to upgrade myself and I actually prefer the blue over the black, but the tech is legit. I wouldn't be shocked to see a jump up for those with Mizuno irons to make the switch to a Mizzy driver.

I was able to hit the ST190 at the Des Moines expo, it is awesome! It felt better the the Cobra F9, Titleist TS2, and was comparable (in sound and feel - no launch monitor data was available) to the ping G410.

How is the head shape of the ST190G? I really liked the shape of the jpx850 but I didn't really care for the blue.

As one of the reviewers who didn't get on as well, I did say that if the driver had some adjust-ability to dial in the ball flight, it might have done better for me. Seeing this in the ST-190 made me smile. This driver has some real potential and should be on the test list ofr all. If they have increased the forgiveness and MOI it could fit into a lot of golf bags this year in a crowded 2019 driver market.

The head shape of the G looked to be a little shorter front to back, more rounded at the top and towards the toe. Overall they both looked awesome. The black with the new wave sole is sweet.

The ST180 had some dead spots on the face, so lost yardage was significant when not hit in the center of the face. If they’ve fixed that issue, then this could be a heck of a driver! My numbers with the ST180 were dang near optimum at CC.

Anyone know what the shaft options will be for Mizuno ST 190 line? Haven’t seen anything details on what the stock shafts will be...
I loved the JPX 850 driver and shaft combo with the Speeder Tour Spec. Always liked the stock shafts Mizuno pairs with its woods.

I'm also interested in the Shaft choices.   I swear I saw something that showed the Atmos Tour Black as the ST- G Standard and the ST Standard Atmos Blue and Red...  Maybe I'm confusing another MFG...

Honestly, this is one of the drivers I want to try out this year, along with the Epic Flash & Cobra F9. I was a huge fan of the ST-180, so this should be awesome to hit when it arrives in February.

I finally got the ST190 in my hands today in Nashville.  The look is fantastic but boy does it sit open at address.  Those of you that have hit this club did this impact performance at all for you?

I hit it today, and I HAVE to have a driver that looks open! My miss is a hook, so anything square-to-closed is a no-go. It didn’t affect performance for me.

I hit some drivers with various aftermarket shafts, but didn’t officially do a fitting. Saw the highest ball speeds with F9 and M5, M5 was straighter for me, but F9 was consistent in the ball speed. I’m going to keep my G400 Max through Spring as I really haven’t hit it during “golf season”. It works well for me!

I wonder if that's an over correction from the 180. I found last year's model was a hook machine, and I struggled to deliver loft to it (and I had a higher lofted model than my gamer). So in reality they might be bringing it back to the middle, or making an exaggerated change from last year (assuming you can mitigate the face angle with the adjustable weights they added as well).

Yeah, great point.  To me last years model sat closed.  Although the 190 sits open it may benefit me a bit as it encourages me to roll my wrists a bit better and follow thru.  Going to try to hit it this week outdoors.

To me, I feel like it is going to come down to the ST vs. the F9. With all of the positive buzz around these drivers, it definitely has me excited to hit them. I have hit most of the new stuff, and thus far the F9 has been the standout for me, and when you factor in the very reasonable price tag i am thinking its going to be hard to beat. Considering that the ST is going to fit into a similar price bracket, I am excited to see if it can keep up with the F9. 

Should be able to get my hands on one within a couple of weeks to give these two a good head to head. 

Really excited to hear the comment around the face sitting open at address.
