T-ZOID 10.5* with UST Proforce 65 Regular Shaft
Forgiving and very long. Better than competitors. Sound when impact is very nice. If you want to buy new driver, this driver must be in your test lists. You'll know by yourself. I never confident when shot driver, but not with T-Zoid. I'm very confident and I can do it very very good. Just one word. YOU MUST TRY IT.

Mizuno T-zoid TI 9*
I had the benefit of testing this club in many different shaft configurations when the Mizuno tour van was in town, and also compared it to those other drivers listed. Selected the 9* T-zoid with Accel Arc Pro reg/stiff shaft. It was built in the van and picked up the next day. Very solid, very, very long, and very straight. The pro version of the shaft weighs in at 70 grams, vs. 60 for standard Accel Arc shaft and most 'boutique' upgrades. It's a very solid shaft, preferred over the stock shaft, Pro-lite, Proforce, and BiMatrix. Never believed in buying extra distance without loss of control, but I'm now a believer. 20-30 yds. longer than my GBB with prolite and with UST, and much straighter. Just a great 'crushed it' feel with control I haven't seen since my steel shafted days. Highly recommend w/Accel-Arc Pro shaft. The regular/stiff in the Pro version seems tighter than the stiff flex stock shaft and better boring trajectory. Just right for my 100 mph swing speed. With no upcharge for the Pro shaft, it's a great upgrade. Similar Products Used: TM300, Great Big Bertha, Cleveland QuadproTI, Titleist 975 |

Mizuno T-Zoid Forged Titanium Driver
Mizuno T-Zoid Forged Titanium Driver 9 degree. I like this club a lot but I am going to reshaft as many others have with a UST Proforce 65 at 44". I have the stock Accel Arc stiff shaft and it's a bit too whippy for me (I have a fast swing tempo.) I've got the UST PF 65 in a fairway wood and love it, I have heard and agree that it's a good fit for this driver. As is, the club is reasonably forgiving and I love the way it looks. When hit well it rockets off the face with a low trajectory and it's long. My swing speed is 100-105 and I get a consistent 280 with several 300 yard drives to date. The shaft is more difficult to control if you really go after it, an easier swing works better. I bought mine brand new on Ebay last fall for $230, so even with the reshaft it's under $300, a much better deal than anything else out there in my opinion. Hard to go wrong with this club, it's in my bag for the long haul. Similar Products Used: TM Supersteel, Cleveland |

Mizuno TZoid 10d w/ Grafalloy Prolite Stiff
This is my second review of this club. I will have to eat my words from my first review in saying that I would stick to the stock shaft. Like other reviewers wrote on this site, the stock shaft is a bit too whippy and also has a tad too much torque for my taste. I spoke to a couple of club pros and retailers who said the stock Accel-Arc stiff shaft plays about a midflex down. So the stiff plays more like a stiff-regular. Anyhow, my swing speed was about 100mph and now likes the Grafalloy stiff even better. This is a good combo for my swing and it is very stable, much more so than the stock shaft. I've read that the UST is good with this club, but I didn't want to go quite that stiff. The Grafalloy stiff is probably in between the UST and the stock shaft. Same great head and feel, same great distance when you hit it on the button. I range in the 235-250 on average and have hit a few in the 260-280 with this setup. I can't ask for anymore than that. Customer Service None yet. Similar Products Used: 975d, Ping TiSi, Firesole, Yonex ADX 200, Steelhead Plus, Hawkeye and others that aren't as nice nor as long as the Mizuno. |

Mizuno T-Zoid Titanium Driver
I first had some doubts if this driver wasn't to hard to hit : Well it is definately the most forgiving driver I have. Amazing nice feel, HUGE sweet spot and incredible distance. When hit in the sweet spot the ball realy rockets off the face. Toe and heel shots seem to straighten out. Also easy to work the ball in a fade or draw, even for a 17 handicapper like me.

Mizuno forged titanium driver
This club is a decent driver. The only thing which gave me true problems was the factory stiff shaft. I am very dissapointed in the shaft, specifically because it snapped in half upon contact with a ball. Other than that, I get great distance, and feel with the club. For the price it is one of the best drivers I have ever felt, except for the shaft. Customer Service Not very good at all. After the shaft snapped, I sent it to Mizuno asking for a reshaft. After attempting to talk me out of their help, they finally helped me out, and did a reshaft. The problem with this, however, was that they mistakedly sent me a used 9 iron. I have just sent it back, and am praying that this time they will get it right. Similar Products Used: Taylor Made, Titleist, Callaway |

Mizuno Forged 10 * S300 shaft
What a cannon! This driver is the longest I have ever hit. I had it reshafted with a S300 shaft, because I am not comfortable with a graphite shaft. This club has a great feel. What an awsome price on the best driver on the market! Similar Products Used: Callaway VFT, Titleist 975D, Taylor Made 300 series |
