jayjay0808 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Got a ST190 on order with the Atmos Black Tour Spec Black 6X. Looking forward to it. My best tournament year was when I played the JPX 850.

Thin2win Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 On 2/25/2019 at 6:41 AM, newballcoach said: 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). I found the same thing testing the 180, I couldn't find the right half of planet earth with it. But everything else was great. I know they said they built the 190 with the desire to get it some tour adoption, that would require giving it a more open face for that demographic.

Sent from my SM-A600A using MyGolfSpy mobile app This is a golf.com article (I know, more like "article") but Ryan Palmer (who was part of the leaderboard at the Honda) said this: "Equipment contracts are not worth the money." He was talking in the realm of a few hundred thousand dollars. I would imagine for a bigger name that number might approach a mil? Especially if they want to use you in advertising, etc. I don't know if guys on the fringes of the tour are worth the money for the OEM to invest in, so they are probably just happy with free clubs and tour van access. He's more of a true free agent than all the former Nike guys. Those guys are still getting their Nike money while playing whatever club they want,so there isn't as much of a financial incentive for them. https://www.golf.com/gear/2018/12/04/ryan-palmer-equipment-contracts-not-worth-it/ romeopapazulu and mbrodeur86 2 Quote WITB Driver- PING G400 LST w/ Project X Evenflow Black Fwy- TM Aeroburner 16.5HL Irons- Callaway Steelhead XR (3-PW) Wedges- Callaway MD3 (50,54,58) Putter- Cleveland TFI Satin Cero Ball- Snell MTB-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdumble21 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I just went to try out the ST-190 driver against the Callaway Rogue Sub Zero on the launch monitor after not swinging a club for a week. Rogue came back with a swing speed of 108mph, 233m carry and little pulls (shaft wasn't really working for me). The Mizuno came back with SS of 114mph (average), 238m carry and very straight (and I could hit little cuts and fades with it!!!).

I am probable one of the only ones that will say that, but it had too much going on with the crown. Too many bumps and ridges for my eye. I like a clean simple look and Mizuno has that!

jayjay0808 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Received my ST190 on Friday and was able to get it out for a couple rounds this weekend. First round was really getting use to a different feel, 1 I went from a 8.5 lofted down in my Titleist to 9.5 straight in for the ST190. 2 I went to a 68 gram Atmos Tour Spec Black vs my trustee Aerotech Claymore MX48 which was only 50 grams. Yesterday's round was a much different story, hit some of the longest drives in the last couple years for me. And hit all but two fairways. Gonna get some more use out of it. But Mizuno has a winner. Feel and sound were just so solid.

JamesThomas Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I received my ST190 HL a week ago and have played 3 rounds with it. I'm more accurate than I was with my Ping G30, and the G30 was no slouch by any measure. My drives have been a few yards longer, maybe 5-7 yards. All in all, an improvement, especially given the time of year. Love the feel and sound, and the ST190 is definitely forgiving. My miss so far has been high off the toe, but the shots still find the fairway without losing a lot of distances. Obviously I don't know how this driver will work for others, but I'm very pleased with it.

Stumpnav Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We had a Mizuno demo day at our club a couple of weeks back. I tried the 190 and got good numbers with it. I got fit into a Tensei Orange shaft. It came in last week and I've been able to hit it at the range a couple of times. I like that I can hit it hard without worrying about it hooking. mbrodeur86, Wedgie and Wrosy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy_BNG Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Mine arrived last Thursday but work and weather didn't allow for any range time last weekend. Currently have a fujikura XLR8 51 shaft with a Mizuno tip on it that I have been giving the waggle test to since Sunday lol. Thinking about putting a tip on my old 50M4 black tie shaft to do some testing this weekend. Suppose to be 71 with rain so I'm hoping to find an hour of dry weather to hit the range. Apparently I am driving my wife nuts talking about wanting to get out and swing a club! Here are some glamor pics of mine.

GolfSpy_BNG Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Well first range session in the books. Not surprising the swing was very rusty. Weather was a brisk 54* with a 10mph tail wind for reference. After warming up with my wedges, I jumped straight to the ST190 as I was most eager to hit it. First swing was a baby cut that flew forever. The range has a 300 sign at the end of the range followed by a field. Using my range finder the sign measured 288 yards. The ball carried beyond the sign into the field. What? First swing with range balls carries over 290, that has to be a fluke. Turns out it wasn’t. Every shot carried the sign with very little movement. This thing wants to go straight. I did have to really work to hit a draw as everything today was a baby cut or push right. I bought this blind and I couldn’t be happier. I have found my driver for the year. Maybe even found one to stop the hoing.....? Time will tell. I am hoping with the UST VTS TSPX shaft coming I can up the loft to position 6 or even 5 to help move the ball right to left since that is my preferred ball flight.As for the sound I think it is perfect. Just slightly higher sounding thud/thwack compared to the epic, z785, and F9 but definitely more explosive feeling.I think it is going to be a good year for me and my Mizuno. I say they finally got it ALL right looks, feel, sound, and ball speed.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Wrosy and mbrodeur86 2 Quote What is in my Sun Mountain C-130 bag or Jones MyGolfSpy bag Driver: Dark speed LS 8* set to -1.5* with an Attas Daaas 4x shaft @ 45” Fairway: F85 3 wood with a XPhplexx Agera X @ 42.5” F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" Driving Iron: Rapture 2-Iron Irons: SMS Pros 4-PW with Steelfiber I95s Wedges: SMS 50* T grind with Steelfiber i110s Glide 4.0 46* zz wedge shaft Glide 4.0 E grind 54* zz wedge shaft Putters: Mezz.1 34” 69* lie EV5.1 black 33.5” 69* lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedgie Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Picked up my ST190 on Tuesday and took it out yesterday for the first time. I hit 33% of the fairways and missed right 50% of the time. Distance was the same as my XXIO X driver which I missed left with a lot of the time. My misses right were more of a push than a fade. The XXIO is so light I may just need to get used to the additional weight of the ST190.
