MP-600 - Fujikura Fit On 360 Stiff Summary:
Like a previous reviewer said, the best way to describe this driver is Accuracy. I first tried a demo with the DS3 shaft, which was nice, but the fuji shaft was more stable for me (7 grams heavier, and a tad stiffer, so I'm able to feel the club in the backswing).
Untill now, I was using a Taylor Made 580XD, which has a very similar clubhead. I know I'm comparing with 5 years old technology, but if I hit the 580XD with a good swing I can beat my friends drives by a fair margin (all of them with fancy new technologies from Cobra, Titleist, Ping...) My problem with the 580XD is that if I overswing, I will either cut the ball badly or end up with a snaky hook. Well with the MP600, no problems so far. Of course this driver will not save me from the rough with a bad swing, but the disperssion pattern is a lot tighter than anything previously tested.
The club face deserves a special mention. The sound is just PERFECT when you hit it on the spot. It also feels dense. Like crushing an egg with a shell thicker than normal. It begs for some extra energy, otherwise the COR doesn't show up as easily as in other new drivers I have tried. For this reason, I don't think this club is for any golfer with a swingspeed under 90, unless the shaft would help in this regard.
I haven't played with the weights yet. Actually I will try not to use it to correct sidespin (personally I find that dangerous for my swing), but only to lower or higher the trayectory (looking forward to use it under windy conditions).
The bottom line... HIGHLY RECOMENDED !!! Customer Service:

MP-600 10.5* w/ Accra T50 M4 Summary:
I'm 55, a 12 hcp with 95mph driver swing speed, 6'2 and more of a swinger than a hitter. I'm partial to Mizuno, having played a MP-001 (400cc) for three seasons. Great feel, excellent sound and control. This season I upgraded to an MP-600 and like the results. Even with the Fuji 360 stiff, the impact was more solid and the ball carried a little further than the old driver. Oh, I also tried a MacGregor with a nice NVS stiff shaft, and though I liked the shaft and had decent results, the sound was thin and the control not as good as with the Miz.
Anyway, when I traded for a lighter shaft (Accra T-50, M4, which is stiff, but has a lively tip) all the pieces came together. Though I enjoyed experimenting with the adjustable weights, I can control it well when playing 1-6, which is the lowest trajectory, neutral. It allows me a little more freedom to shape the flight to minimize trouble. The sound is muted, the feel is solid, almost dense - just a very VERY satisfying result for a traditionalist. If you want/like/need a monster head with a metallic sound, this is not for you. If you prefer an old-fashioned look/sound/feel with new technology to boost distance and allow tweaking, then you absolutely MUST give this club a serious trial. Customer Service:
Dunno. Similar Products Used:

Mizuno MP-600 Summary:
First Mizuno driver I've ever played. I switched out of a TM 425TP to play the MP-600 and haven't looked back. Not the longest driver out there but my accuracy and consistancy has improved significantly.
I play the Fuji 360 shaft. Great shaft that loads well for my smooth tempo 105 swing speed. After 10 rounds I'm averaging 10/14 fairways and my misses are far more manageable. For me that equals one more GIR per side.
One more GIR per side means I'm starting to break 80 on a regular basis. Customer Service:

Mizuno MP-600 Summary:
MX 500 was always solid for me, did not like the Exsar 50 shaft though for swings above 95 mph. This club with the Fuji E360 shaft is a wonderful upgrade. The added weight is nice, and it's amazing but for someone who has never been able to work the ball on command, I am getting the sense that I can with this club. Swinging too hard is not rewarded, which for me is a good thing. I am getting 10 yds more distance, and my side spin rate has definitely decreased. Have only played in neutral position for now, looking forward to tweaking it. Customer Service:
None needed, all clubs are mizuno except putter. Similar Products Used:

MP600 Summary:
This driver is a ripper, it has a great shape and setup and the weighting system is easy to adjust and does make a subtle change to the ball flight and shape. I have stuck with the standard Exsar DS3 shaft in stiff flex and it is giving very consistent results and excellent distance. The thing I like about this driver is that I am able to work the ball both ways which is definately not the norm for me (classic cut and slice player) I think it is the shaft which seems a little stiffer even at 59 grams. You can really feel the driver head and position and I know immediatley when I am outside the line, this has allowed me to "feel" the club coming from inside and now I can produce a nice draw. My driver is a 9.5 loft and it does have a boring trajectory but the roll is fantastic and distance has improved over my T/M superquad. The main thing with this driver is the consistency, put a good swing on it and it will do its job brilliantly. I have had many drivers but this one has improved my game and hitting more fairways is great, demo one and I am sure you won't be dissapointed. Customer Service:
