![]() Like a previous reviewer said, the best way to describe this driver is Accuracy. This club will be in my bag for a long time (probably until mizuno releases something newer). One last thing: I also tried this driver with the stock Mizuno shaft, which is lighter, and I was able to hit it a little longer, but not as consistent as with the fuji shaft. I have not played a lot with the weights, because I'm not interested in correcting sidespin, but I would like to try other "neutral" setups in the future, specially 1-6 to decrease backspin (very valuable in windy conditions). Raw distance is not really important for me (since I really need accuracy to improve my game), but with a 95 to 105 mph swing I'm able to fly the ball to some respectable 260 - 290 yards. The Fujikura shaft is very stable, and I'm not afraid to hit it harder, like with my previous driver. Now I'm able to hit dead straight, or with a mild draw. So I switched to a thiner Taylor Made Grip (plus some corrections to my backswing), and problems are totally gone. Clearly I was not "releasing" enough before impact because of this. Morover I have small hands, so a tendency to fade the ball increased to a slice that was driving me crazy. I've read on forums that many people think the same about this grip (maybe it is designed for thinner butt shafts). ![]() At first I was having problems with the grip (golf pride m-21) that felt way too thick for me. I bought this club at a very fair price (120 US$ used), and the clubhead was in mint condition. not bulky bullet shaped aerodynamics, nor weird dented crown (like cobra's or cleveland hi-bore's). I know this is kind of personal, but the clubhead shape and size is perfect for me. It's a good 20 yards shorter actually.įirst of all, let me say this club is very well made. ![]() Additionally, the MP 600 driver is not as long as my TM 580 XD. I thought I'd be able to achieve a ball flight that would allow a slight draw. The sound of the ball strike is a muted whack - dull sounding and not the ting I am used to with the Taylormade. I am thinking I need to consider regular shafts for future drivers. I had a similar issue with the older Mizuno Blue Rage drivers (Acce shaft in stiff). Alas, I could not stop the ball wanting to go to the right. 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. So I may not be swinging fast enough to release the club. ![]() ![]() However, I have been using a TM 580 XD with an R7 Regular shaft in it. I used a stiff shaft and generally that has been fine with irons and hybrids. 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 had great difficulty not pushing the ball right. The contrast between black the teardrop head and white Fubuki shaft is stellar. ![]()
