The new wedges feature a more compact overall look with a thinner top line and a shorter distance from heel to toe to accentuate a player’s ability to control these essential scoring clubs.
The three new Mizuno ST230 drivers make a big push forward towards improving ball speed and optimising launch conditions with a lot of light carbon composite and a little bit of heavy steel.
Mizuno’s latest wedge offering is forged from mild 1025 carbon steel and features a back-cavity area designed to move the centre of gravity more towards the centre of the face.
Two new models join Mizuno’s ST line of drivers, the ST-X 220 and the ST-Z 220, and both use expanded carbon-composite sections in the sole and crown to create more stable heads designed to produce more consistent launch conditions all over the face.
Mizuno’s ST-G 220 joins a lineage of weight-kit drivers that dates back more than a decade, features three tracks – heel-side, toe-side and rear-centre – that fit two seven-gram weights to tweak launch, spin, forgiveness and direction.
With the new ES21 wedges, the Mizuno team is asking golfers to reorient their thinking, not only in how a wedge can be made but what a better player – on any golfer really – might be looking for.
There are not many companies, if any, that can introduce five sets of irons at one time – throw in a specialty set of long-iron replacement hybrids to boot – and still make you believe that each has its place. But that’s precisely what Mizuno has done with its next iteration of its modern JPX lineup.
Packed with forgiveness and power, these Super Game-Improvement Irons will have you playing better in no time. We considered 19 models; 13 made the list.
