Tested and ordered. Never tested a driver that gives me the length, direction and dispersion like this one. Ordered immediately. Loved the feeling and sound of it too, which is not to be forgotten
Brooooo.. this driver has changed my golf life LOL. I was skeptical of changing, but was long overdue to change my driver. I bought a used STG that was hiding on the rack. Hit some practice swings and felt it was the one. I did have to tinker with the weights to get it to perform the way I want. I also changed the shaft to grafalloy stiff, and BOOOM it goes! Its def redifined LONG and Forgiving drivers! My last tourney I hit 70% of fairways in the middle, the fairways I did miss were all in play and just slightly off the "technical" boundaries of the fairway. Love it!
Just got one and the thing that stands out for me with this driver (and doesn’t get mentioned in any reviews I’ve seen in RUclips land) is the roll you get with it, it’s not as easy to hit as the Sim2 or the Epic Speed or the G425 but WOW is goes so well when hit properly, as Al said “Strike is Everything!”
Mizuno have been doing incredibly over the past few release cycles, and keeping the price sensible too. My driver is 11 years old now and new one will be a mizuno.
This really does seem like a driver for everyone providing you like the shape and sound..... Adjustability for all shapes and abilities, with the right shaft and loft this could be my next driver......perhaps!
Thank you Alex. Great information and I chuckle several times during the video. Your channel is definitely not a cookie cutter of the other golf channels. Please don't change a thing. I love the simulator but an occasional on the course reviews would be great. I really need new irons this year and I have never been fitted before so just a little about me before I ask to have you recommend some game improvement irons to hit when being fitted. I am 65 years old, 19 handicap. My biggest complaint is that don't hit my irons very far. 7 Iron = 135 to140 yds 22 degree hybrid 185 yds. My current irons - 2008 Callaway Big Bertha irons. I went into a golf hitting bay at our local golf store just before my total knee replacement surgery last December and tested a Taylormade P790 7 Iron. First swing.......177 yards. Second swing 179 yards. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks for any suggestions that you can offer. Again, love the channel.
Mizuno woods are far too overlooked. I've hit the JPX 900 with a graffaloy rocket prototype and the ST & GT180's and they're absolute monsters. Almost put one in the bag till I switched to the Callaway XR Speed in 2018 because the latter was so long and really stable. Great stuff! I do slightly miss the papa smurf blue since I do like a good helping of cheese with my stuff 🤣
The best driver I ever had was a Mizuno MP001 from back in 2005 or so... I won it on a bet from the golf course pro shop after driving a ball further than the shops manager with it....
I really like my 10.5 ST-Z. I don’t have the swing speed anymore for a tuned down low spin rocket launcher. Big AL is a beef boy though, he hits bombs.
Alex. Why not do what you said you wanted in the Sim 2 vid. Take a driver onto the course, play 18 and just try to pure bomb every drive and see how low you can score when putting it all on the line!!!

IT'S PERFECT! Got rid of my SIM and put the STG-220 in the bag. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! The STG sounds so nice and feels INCREDIBLY SOLID.
Only problem is it doesn't have a spaceship on it :/
agreed!
Nothing like waking up to Al ripping drivers! The adjustability on that thing is awesome.
My boy! Cheers
i cant wait to try that driver. glad you are doing better mate. big love ottawa canada
Try both weights in the BACK position. Worked great for me. But you can move em all over. so cool.
@@ashleywalls4097 one small problem I just found out about. They do not make it in left handed. So I can’t try it. Damn it
@@mikeachtereekte7910 Oh man that really sucks!!

Mizuno drivers are the best value on the market. Especially the X and Z.
Mizuno have been doing incredibly over the past few release cycles, and keeping the price sensible too. My driver is 11 years old now and new one will be a mizuno.
Matt has just received a message from Mizuno saying Al passed the 360 yard mark in testing. Next Up Matty boy !!
Jesus Christ mate you got me sold on the intro music, yeah boy I’ll take one haha 😂
Good to see you back. Been missing your antics.
This really does seem like a driver for everyone providing you like the shape and sound.....
Adjustability for all shapes and abilities, with the right shaft and loft this could be my next driver......perhaps!
Love the content of video , Thanks for the review ....Greatly appreciated Regards from Canada East Coast - Halifax .

I love the opening. You are so funny. Great to see you back.

Glad to see you back Al. I have the Mizuno ST 190 and this looks tempting.
My brother just got this driver and initial reactions are good. I am playing the ST-Z and absolutely love it.
Did you hit his 220? If so, any big difference you saw between yours?
Glad to see you back swinging again. 340 ish carry… 😳 bombs away.
Getting there mate!
Just a lil flicky dicky for this guy 😎🤷♂️
Hi Alex - can you do a video on your swing mechanics? Curious to know what positions you are trying to hit in downswing and weight transfer. Thanks
The best driver I ever had was a Mizuno MP001 from back in 2005 or so... I won it on a bet from the golf course pro shop after driving a ball further than the shops manager with it....
Still have my mp-001 with Grafalloy BLUE shaft. Incredible combo. Been lookin for a driver to compare with it ever since. Til now with this one
deffo one to consider when i go for my next fitting in the new year
Absolutely mate! thanks again for supporting :)
Great video. Its the first Mizuno driver thats tempted me.
Have you already reviewed the Takomo range?
Link in answer, if you have!
Love it! 💪 is back
Mizzy killing it again. Nice one Al. Hope the injury is getting easier
I really like my 10.5 ST-Z. I don’t have the swing speed anymore for a tuned down low spin rocket launcher. Big AL is a beef boy though, he hits bombs.
Which one is longer? PXG0811 XT or the mizuno PG 200, please let us know
Yay! I'm rockin the "non-offensive" ST180 myself. Spaceship blue and all! 🛸
Same here. Not too bad at all. I like the colour!
I actually always thought the wedges and m craft putters looked cool in the blue. I guess it's just down to preference.
11:22 - Is...is that a sky mark on the club, Al? :-)
So I’d it going in the bag? And how does it compare to the other 2 new Mizuno drivers?
Ever tried one of those drivers from Krank? Would love to see that!, 💣
This driver got me in to the 300 yard club. It's amazing!
I just banged this 318 the other day had to buy it:
I've still got the gt180 in the bag.....awesome driver
Love that driver looks!. I game the STZ 3 wood and it’s a gem. BTW, which shaft are you playing?
Al, you need to do an Annual Driver H2H to find the best Driver and call it the "Tonkin Award"👍
Love it 🤣
Alex. Why not do what you said you wanted in the Sim 2 vid. Take a driver onto the course, play 18 and just try to pure bomb every drive and see how low you can score when putting it all on the line!!!
ltdx ls vs this which one are you gaming out of the two?
What’s the bomb settings?
Alex, can i ask? What do you mean by how fiddly the weights are?
Been trying to find one with Sr Shaft. No luck so far other than having one built
Nice, Al (364 💪) Shaft?
swinging out of your shoes. .. must be the white belt. everyone was Kung-fu fighting
did I miss the part where you mentioned what shaft is in it? assuming it's stock?
I had the gt180 for a while until I went into full on taylormade fan boy mode😁 wish sometimes I’d kept the 180 ☹️
6:54 is that a sky mark??😲
Hey Al, is it going in your bag?
If I am hitting st190 well, am I losing out on anything to the 220?
WOW! YOU DADDY SMACKED THEM LAST ONE'S.
Well, if it wasn't for naming rights, they should have just called it the 'STIG'. Oh how I miss Top Gear.
The last sentence was a little hard to hear.. Did he say"I love fisting"?? Or "I love this thing"?.. lol..
Love my ST200.
What up Al!
I’m getting mine in 8 days
But would you game it ?
don't stand behind the screen - the ball may come through.
what is yor swing speed Al?
Hey mate!
Course about 122-125
Out the boots I can push 130
I feel a txg chALlenge coming😁
Has anyone tried to hit it with one weight forward on one side and back on the other?
I've tried 'em all over. best for me both in the back postion.
And for human beings with swing speeds that ARE on this planet ... ?
Stroke it out of toe, heel... Rear. WTF... Rear???
Honestly, who thumbs down this video?
A TM fanboy
Who left the dummie mark ?
Brenda must hate that mizuno.. she has no balls in her garden to sell… 🙈🙈
Haha this dude insane
I was the first to view the video. You can’t take that from me
First
haha nice vid. would be interessting to see it fighting against the taylormade. brendas worst nightmare :D
