Mizuno ST190 Driver / Keith Mitchell testing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- Keith Mitchell was the first PGA Tour player to put Mizuno's ST190 driver into play in October 2018 - the very week it was published on the USGA conforming list. We visited Keith in December at a chilly Sea Island GC, Georgia to see what had convinced him to be the first to put the ST190 into play and see if it was still in the bag. The Mizuno ST190 will be available from Feb 2019. More info at golf.mizunoeur....
Thanks to Keith for being open minded enough to be the first PGA Tour player to put the ST190 into play. It's been a while since the last Mizuno driver win on tour - seems fair reward to Keith for trusting us.
Must admit I haven’t seen much of this guy but he talks a lot of sense and has a great swing.
He did pretty well this week at the Sony Open too.
Whos watching after his win.
3,1 attack 2200rpm some good numbers...way to go Mizuno..looking forward
Keith Mitchell's win at the Honda was really nice to see. I hadn't heard of him before but I came away liking him. Seems to handle himself well. But I was mostly impressed with his 18 footer that he made to win the tournament. That was clutch AF
So excited to give this bat a try
Tried this club yesterday and wow! It’s for real, blew away 410 and others. Not a long hitter, but always spin too much. If your looking for low spin and forgiveness, this is great. Always played Ping, not anymore!
Thanks Rick. Taking a while for people to notice.....but it is happening. Keith will have helped.
mizunogolfeurope Yes no doubt. I’m an older player, with slower swing speed as well. The Atmos shaft worked also. The fitter was impressed also.
I have this head on a VA composites Raijin and it's the absolute best driver I have ever hit. I'm now 52 and can still reach 550+ yard holes in 2 and sometimes with a long iron. I could not be happier!
Looking forward to trying this one out... 180 performed well for me but the color and sound were a no go. This seems to sound much better, can't wait to hit it. Keith seems like a good dude, will be rooting for him this season.
Very talented player too. Something happening soon for Keith.
@@mizunogolf1906 btw, are these spin numbers typically what he likes to see? Thought they may be a tad high but if he likes to cut the ball I guess it could be a factor...
@@nickdelia9122 He did say he likes to cut the ball. Based on that and his swing speed, I bet its right in his wheel house....
Looking forward to this 👍
Big win. Love it.
Can't wait to hit one of these drivers. They look fantastic.
Great to see Keith doing well. Watched him miss the web top 25 for his card in a devastating way. Played the rest of the tour finals and got his card and no looking back.
Very high ball speed for such a cold day. Low launch and high spin compared to his peers. 💯 on range vs playing. I've rarely liked my fitting clubs in an actual round.
Sounds better than the 180, that’s for sure.
Mizuno clubs are just so awesome. Wake up people and give them a go!
The last Mizuno driver I able to test was the JPX 900 and I hit it just as good as anything else at the time with the correct shaft. Only reason it didn’t end up in my bag was I’m the type that is slow and stubborn when it comes to changing drivers, 3 woods, and irons. Wedges, hybrids, and putters I will change at the drop of a hat because, at least in my area, you can easily find very cheap and very gently used wedges and putters so it’s it like your out a lot just to give something different a try. That said my greatest strengths are driving accuracy and high GIR. That’s probably why I’m so slow to change drivers and irons. I will however be in the market for a new driver and irons this next spring and the new Mizuno offerings will definitely be tried out and considered.
finally~ mizuno takes black crown !!! awesome,, love it !!!
Of course the Tour Guys get Hot melt in the heads, so this is still different then off the rack clubs. Why I keep lead tape laying around. I'm loving the looks of this driver from images. Excited to try
Been a Taylormade guy my whole life. Got a shaft fitting today for the M5 driver and 3 wood. Cobra tempts me with that F9,felt really good and you get a premium shaft included. My 3 wood is recommended for a Tensei orange that's a 250 up charge. I dunno. Maybe I'm too loyal. Mizuno stuff has always appealed to me too. Gonna have to try this driver out. I believe they go with the premium shafts as well with no up charge.
Currently play a ST180 love the club but the feeling isn't mutual. Although fitted for club struggle with a push, push fade.
Shaft is a stock orange Tensei ck series 50 flex-s. Did change the original grip to a Golf Pride midsize multi compound with 3 layers of tape. Any ideas? Alternatively is the ST190 less fade biased.
Have you tried the UP settings? I was not liking the st180 when I first got it. I also was push, push fade. I move it to UP9.5 and I have never hit a driver center face as much.
@@frankpipolo1431 Thanks Frank. Have in the 10.5U setting
Will both models be offered in lefty?
Very very very very very very very cooooool driver 👍
(You have set this video to 'UA-cam-playback only' so it won't actually play on your website! (where I first found it)).
Fixed - thanks.
Really looking forward , when will Mizuno be releasing for sale in Europe Ireland 🇮🇪?? 😊
We'll be shipping mid Feb. Will be worth the wait.
Same for Italy ?
@@user-fn3zh8nw4f yes - same timings.
Everybody craps on the Mizuno Blue drivers but I loved that they were bright blue. Be different.
Robert Davis I actually liked the blue color that they used for several years. Color is never even a consideration of any priority for me. I’m pretty open to the looks of any clubs as long at it performs with two exceptions of course. If a club even has the appearance of a closed face or looks or the appearance of being overly upright I will automatically write it off. I won’t even want to bother hitting it. Other than those two things, absolutely nothing appearance wise has any sway over me.
Shaft ? Stiffness ? Swingweight ?
Keith seems like a pretty cool dude
The anti-Bryson Dechambeau :-) Interesting guy, like his view on the game. Hope he has a great season. Note that his SG off-the-tee stat is right up there.
Talented young player who has side stepped the media so far.
Can’t wait to give this a try. Hopefully you guys are a real player in the woods market this year. Any new hybrids or hollow headed irons in the pipe line?
Yes - more to follow on the 22nd Jan.
is that a t1100
Own the rogue sub zero and tried this and have to say slightly better numbers and best numbers out there as rogue sub was best. Not changing as just bought rogue and happy but the mizuno bettwr number just and slightly more forgiving id say, can shape both the callaway and mizuno so yeah mizuno stepping up game and i like their brand and marketing they dont hype or lie they just make damn good clubs i have to say still playing the t11 wedges and wish they would copy those and re release in blue wouls be bad ass.
This looks way better than the m5/m6 and f9. Those clubs look cartoonish and gimmicky.
On top of that from what I've seen so far it performs. I'll have to give this one a shot.
Thanks - glad people are noticing.
Are the lie angles the same in both?
And guess who won today?
I'd be keen to know what had done to the weighting with the glue he was alluding to... like what was the final swing weight, where did he put the weight (face?), etc. Doing that kind of tweaking has to change the the performance characteristics right?
If we get more info, will let you know.
I'm guessing based on his preferred shot shape that the hot melt was placed by the toe. Typically tour players, especially high speed ones play drivers D4-D5 but DJ plays his at D7 I believe.
Ben Ross I would tend to agree. The technology advances are great but folks have to know that the way pros get their equipment set up is loads diff (with loads diff playing characteristics) than the general public is going to get buying these clubs off the rack. Good luck trying to get your driver to D5 from Golf Galaxy.
@@-TroyStory- fortunately I have a friend with a Tour Van hot melt gun. The Epic SZ is the first of my last 5 drivers that I haven't hot melted
Hi Guys, what'll be the stock shaft offerings with this. Any real deal Tensei's like on the 180?
Cheers
All that published on 1st feb.
Looks like a great looking Driver with great numbers and no Flash Face, Speed Injection Bull Shit!
Hope you do well with it, would love to see Mizuno give TM & Callaway a bloody nose!
When will these be available in Australia?
Should be mid feb - same as EU and US.
Always great product, but this may be the best!!!
Which head is more draw bias? st190 or st190g?
ST190G with weights in the heel.
Want one !
His swing reminds me a lot of Keegan Bradley
Hope that performance matches the look.
Really does. We've had more early traction on tour with this already than last 6 years of drivers combined.
mizunogolfeurope that’s great to hear. When is the worldwide promotional launch? I see two of your main competitors have launched their 2019 range.
@@myopenmind527 You'll start to see test reviews from the 22nd January.
mizunogolfeurope thanks. Really looking forward to seeing those. 👍
which tournament did he win? the cucamonga open?? lol
No - the Honda on the PGA Tour.
Cashmere Kieth !
No carry numbers....waste of time.
Why do carry numbers matter? Dude is 177 ball speed. That's easily over 300... even on a cold day.
I Am Mars actually no, the range grid is right next to the trackman numbers and he was avg 270-290.
@@iammars142 it does matter. All the pros now use a trackman....You don't think carry is important to know how they're doing? Sounds like you're new at golf. Please don't reply, I don't talk to newbies.
@@cluman1 lol
@@Justin-uf9lc I see the grid now. You're right. He was putting that out about 280 in the air on that day. I'd expect 177-178 ball speed to carry 295-300 in more normal conditions. You can check Keith's stats from his win last week at the Honda and they'll probably line up.
Aborted quickly.... tis just another commercial which is loaded with unrealistic praise before it even starts. They're getting more and more tricky in how they advertise these days. You need to check who the uploader is before you get suckered in. This industry is rife with bull. They have to make you purchase a new "wheel" before your tyres are worn out else they'll go bust.
All factual. Keith plays this driver and we wanted to tell the story of how it ended up in his bag. Doesn't mean you have to enjoy it - but no trickery at work.
