Mizuno MX 500 Summary:
I'm still adjusting to this club, but I like it quite a bit. I have the 10.5 degree model with a Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue shaft and the combination is quite good. I hook drives from from time to time, but that's not the club's fault (the face angle seems fairly square). When I put a good swing on the ball, it takes off -- high, fairly long, and straight. Not a bad sound, either, considering the composite bits and pieces. Customer Service:

MX 500 Summary:
I have been struggling with my equipment that are roughly 5-8 years old. Most notably, my swing speed has decreased to a point that I needed regular flex shafts.
I went on a shopping spree and bought 2 drivers: Mizuno MX 500 10.5 degrees and Nike SUMO 13 degrees. I also got Mizuno MX 950 iron sets (all regular flex).
I have played roughly 10 rounds since I moved to Florida and my best score was 93. Half of my rounds were over 100.
Since I received my new golf set, I have shot 85 and 80. The lower score is a combination of new drivers and irons.
Here's the comparison of the two.
Both drivers are much better than my old Taylormade 360 9.5 deg stiff, which I can't confidently swing any more. I still have both drivers in my bag because I'm still testing both out.
I found MX 500 to be straighter than SUMO. With 13 deg loft, SUMO carries farther (I think). So if a tee shot requires accuracy, I use MX 500. If I need to carry trouble, I use SUMO. It has worked out nicely so far.
As for MX 500, I hit several shots off center, but it still goes straight with less distance. It's very forgiving and will keep the ball in play. If I miss hit with SUMO, it would probably travel more than MX 500 but it would be unplayable. far but

Mizuno MX %00 Driver Summary:
I purchased a new Mizuno MX 500 driver on ebay. I have never been able to hit a driver even with my most recent lesson. I took this to the range and began hitting straighter consistent shots. I then went to a challenging course that I had never played before. I shot a career low 43 on the front and a 53 on the back (not the Drivers fault). I broke 100 for the first time. My ability to get off the tees with this club attributed to my score. I have the original Exsar 50 shaft which forces me to take an easy swing. I beet the other three in my party by 10 or more strokes and even won some skins money. I am definitely glad that I purchased this club and would reccomend it to anyone. Customer Service:

Shoots in the 80s Model Reviewed:
Mizuno MX500 Summary:
Hit every big stick in the pro shop and settled on the MX500 with factory NVS 65-R shaft. What a honey!! Great feel, nice mid/high trajectory, good sound (unlike a hammer hitting a metal telephone pole!). The G10 and TM Tour Burner were close seconds, but as MX500 was a demo I got it for $100 vs. $300 for the others. I may re-shaft my Launcher 400 with the NVS R-65 and put them head to head. Interesting thing to me was I hit all the drivers about same distance. Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Taylor Made, Cobra, Mizuno, Cleveland -- no 'hot stick'.

Shoots in the 80s Model Reviewed:
Mizuno MX 500 Summary:
The most forgiving and longest driver ever. I got this baby with Fujikura Fit-On 360 stiff on ebay for $100. This baby beats my Cleveland Launcher 460 w/ Prostaff blue stiff all day long.
I hit balls on the heel but I consistently drove 250+ yarders. With good swing, I drove 280+ yarders. My swingspeed is about 105 mph.
I love the mid trajectory. balls roll farther and longer. Also, I like the little heavier weight feel. It generates bit muted sound that I am gonna have to get used to.
