Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: Mizuno MP 600
Summary: Looks great at address. The contrast between black the teardrop head and white Fubuki shaft is stellar. Slightly open at address. I had great difficulty not pushing the ball right. No matter where I placed the ball in my stance, the driver pushed the shot right, sometimes a straight block, other times side spin fade. I suspect the shaft is the issue. I used a stiff shaft and generally that has been fine with irons and hybrids. However, I have been using a TM 580 XD with an R7 Regular shaft in it. So I may not be swinging fast enough to release the club. I tried inside the ball moves, I tried speeding up my swing speed, and I moved the weights all over the place in the FastTrack system. Alas, I could not stop the ball wanting to go to the right. I had a similar issue with the older Mizuno Blue Rage drivers (Acce shaft in stiff). I am thinking I need to consider regular shafts for future drivers. The sound of the ball strike is a muted whack - dull sounding and not the ting I am used to with the Taylormade. I expected more from the club, honestly. I thought I'd be able to achieve a ball flight that would allow a slight draw. I never got close. Additionally, the MP 600 driver is not as long as my TM 580 XD. It's a good 20 yards shorter actually.

Shoots in the 90s

Summary: I shoot in the mid 80's to low 90's but my tee ball is one of the best parts of my game. Three words for this driver are solid, solid, solid. I moved from a Cobra LD-F to a Cleveland HiBore XL to this Mizuno. I was really looking at the Titleist drivers, but at $139 on *bay, this Mizuno is unbeatable (and felt better too.)
Plenty forgiving, a more boring ball flight and the sound is a solid "thwack". The movable weights do work. I'm driving the ball better and further than ever. What's not to love.
This is more of a players driver so pay attention to the shaft and loft. It wants to hit a bit lower than the game-improvement sticks.

Summary: My level of play is better than scratch but I didn't see that option so I simply chose "scratch golfer". I only play with fellow scratch golfers. I find it unbearable to play with anyone above a 2 handicap. I have no time for the nonsense that goes along with playing the game in an abominable fashion. Let the masses hear me say "take lessons!". I find it offensive to play along with a chap that chops sod while swinging. The bloke belongs in the meat wagon dare I say. This driver is just so-so. I deem it akin to a meatloaf sanwhich...lots of lard but no real meat. It is beneath me to play such a club. Carry on.
Customer Service: I refuse to call these 800 numbers only to speak with dimwits.

Summary: This is a driver that I arrived at via a Cobra, a Ping, a Cleveland Hi-Bore and a Taylormade Burner, all of which failed to give what the Mizuno has bags of ... control. Although I am still capable of some eccentric shots when trying to slap the cover off the ball, in the main this is driver which rewards good timing and a steady swing. It sounds great, looks great at address and the weights can make a difference, particularly in terms of keeping the ball low into brisk winds. It feels to me to be a good, solid club so you need a decent swing speed to get the most out of it but with a stiff shaft and a big grip, this has proved to be the driver I have been looking for!
