This is a great club. I modified it severely though. I yanked out the stock shaft and had a Grafalloy ProLite r 45+ shaft put in. When you spec out the Grafalloy at 45" you will see that the stiff flex is really extra stiff and the regular is just a few cycles off of a standard stiff. You would not believe the difference this makes in this club. All you have to do is take it up to the top and let it go. You can feel the head load up and it just slams into the ball. The head makes a wonderful sound at impact to. Ball flight is as low as a Titleist 975D. It also has about 5-10 yards on the 975D. Take the head and stick a good shaft in it and this club is fantastic. I hit the accel-arc (standard mizuno) shaft at the range. It was ok but it felt a little mushy and there was a huge amount of "play" through the impact zone. If your swing varies in speed 90 - 95 - 100 you will spray shots all over the place because of the flex in the tip of this shaft combined with what seems to be a high torque. Take a tip if you want this club and call Mizuno's custom department, they will say they cannot put any other shafts in these clubs, but they can and they will, so find out what you play best and go from there. The shaft is the main reason people like one club over a next. Granted you can put a firesole head on Taylor mades great shafts and it's still junk, but get your swing rated; speed, arc, plane, whatever and find out what shaft fits you, stick it in your trusty driver and enjoy the results.
Oh yeah this head is just barely legal, it's like the approved version of the ERC. I love it. Swing easy.

This is an update to my initial review of this club.

I have being using this driver for the last 5 months and i am extremely impressed with the results. Don't get me wrong this is not the club for everyone but believe me this club is every bit as long and forgiving as the clubs from Ping, Taylor Made and Callaway. And cost a lot less.

I think the clubs looks great at address, and at around 270cc the head is just about perfect. I have the stock stiff shaft and have no problems with it.

When you nail one out of the middle this club has few equals. Distance is fantastic and the ball explodes of the face with a very boring flight. Even on off center hits the distance is still exceptable with the same type of ball flight.

One interesting point. When comparing the T-Zoid against other clubs i hit them all on a golf simulator and found this club generates very low backspin on the ball - approx 2155rpm. Much lower than all the rest. And this is born out on the course with a great boring flight and lots of roll. This club is fantastic when hitting into the wind.

I will say this club is no magic cure, bad shots do happen, but that has nothing to do with the club. If you put a bad swing on any club the results will be ugly.

With all the hype about Callaway, Ping and Taylor Made drivers its easy to miss the Mizuno. But i think anybody looking for a new driver should at the very least put this on your list to try. As you can see from previous reviews there are not many disatisfied people.

To put some figures on it. I think i have increased my driving distance by about 15/20 yards. I used a Callaway GBB before. At the moment here in the UK its cold and very wet but i still manage to drive the ball 230-265 yards with a swing speed around 100mph. That includes good and bad strikes. It might not be 300 yards but in these conditions its not bad. When conditions improve i expect to see this go up.

All in all a great driver from Mizuno. And you never now you just might embarass some of those more expensive drivers.

This is an update from a previous review. This club can be really long if you swing it right. It has a sweet spot that seems to respond to a flatter swing plane (at least with me) but if you miss it you get very so-so distance. I have it with the ProForce 65 Regular which is probably just not stiff enough for my swing speed. I have the 975D with the ProForce 65 stiff and prefer it over this club although the Mizuno has an unbelievable feel when you hit the sweetspot...a cannon firing comes to mind. I would say if you tattoo it on the exact spot you will get more carry yardage than the Titleist but the 975D yields more roll.

Purchased this driver after hitting one on the recommendation of my local pro. The club with a 270cc head is just about right for my comfort zone. When struck in the sweet spot the ball jumps off the face. Was hitting a Ping ISI. I know the Ping works well for a lot of people but I just could never hit it well. My mis-hits (which happen more often than I would like to admit) with the Mizuno seem to not lose as much yardage and/or accuracy. I would also recommend the UST Pro Force 65 stiff shaft. My swing speed is about 105 -108 and the shaft feels very lively and responsive. Very nice. Overall a superb package.

AWESOME !!-It is amazing what technology is doing. I was never a Mizuno fan until recently when I purchased a set of MP-33's. Then when I tried this driver I was made a believer. The shaft is slightly heavier and has a higher kick point than the stock shaft which gives a more boring trajectory.Looks great,feels great and incredible distance, can even work the ball. If someone is in the market for a driver, they should give this one a try.

When hit well, I have found no driver that can compare to this. It can produce HUGE distances, better than any other driver I have tried and I have tried them all. But, with the Pro Force shaft, mis-hits can turn into duck hooks in a hurry, when I try to jump on one. So, the pro Force is definitly a superior shaft to the stock, but higher handicappers may want to stick with the stock which is a bit more forgiving, but not as accurate on average. On tight courses i may play my backup driver, but on open courses I am going to wail away on this. BTW, this club is 30 yards longer than my old Cobra Ti, 15 yards longer than 975D, 10 yards longer than MacGregor Tourney Ti and Precept 260 LS, both of which are also good drivers

Very forgiving and long. For players only. As a matter of fact, I think this one is better than the big brother 300S.
