Summary:
Highly recommended. Mizuno also makes grear fairway metals. I got both clubs with the Platinum stiff shaft. I tried the Aldila NV65 in the 3 but did not like the trajectory so I went back to the stock shaft Mizuno uses. I purchased these clubs after trying them at a demo where every major manufacture was there. These work the best for me.

Summary:
Great club. Long, penitrating, ball flight. Very square, i'm able to work the ball both ways (Natural draw bias). Most beautiful line of woods ever.

Loved my Taylor Made 200 steel woods and thought i would never switch, but after getting the 460 driver and falling in love with it i tried this wood and have since gone all mizuno in the bag.

Summary:
Siff Exsar Sixty shaft

Classic head shape, sits very nicely behind the ball.

Compared to other fairway woods I have tried this club has a draw bias with a very penetrating flight, does not balloon at all.

A hit out the sweet spot feels fantastic, but even if hit off the toe or heel the ball stills goes relatively straight. Probably due to the graphite shaft, but a miss-hit shot still feels good. Probably better to get a steel shaft if you want more feedback. Exceptionally easy to hit off the fairway.

I normally hit my driver approx. 260 yards, but managed to equal or better that with this club. My first round using this club I played 8 over, compared to 14 normally and it's mostly due to accurate driving.

Absolutely recommended, well-done Mizuno!

Customer Service:
No problems yet but previous experience with Mizuno in the UK was good.

MP-001 3 wood & 5 wood stiff and reg flex

Summary:
I am not impressed with these fairway woods in either a regular of stiff flex graphite shaft. As some have said the sound is mute which is good but I was totally inconsistent with them. Rigth and then left and the 5 wood in particular blew up, I'm talking into a huge balloon. I have the new MX-23 irons and can't get enough of them, they are the best irons I have ever played, but these woods have got to go. I'm sure glad I didn't sell me Cobra SS fairway woods the Mizunos are not even in the same catagory in my opinion. Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news but I was really disappointed particularly after all the positive hype on here. Good luck, if you purchase these I hope for your sake it was just me and not the clubs.

Won't be need it.
