Mizuno on track with new ST-G 220 driver

The ST-G 220 driver features three weight tracks to help golfers dial in their preferred shot shape and trajectory even more precisely

“Having that little bit of extra adjustability is especially useful out on tour – where we can fine-tune a player’s flight – or make an adjustment for a particular tournament when the player doesn’t want the feel of a completely new driver,” said Chris Voshall, Mizuno’s head of club design.

The evolution to the ST-G 220’s weight locations offers a rare combination of both backspin and fade/draw adjustability options. Traditionally, adjustable drivers have been more effective at just one of those tasks. In every setting the ST-G 220 delivers impressive performance from off-centre strikes, with consistent feedback across the varying weight positions.

“The ST-G 220 has so much more effective movement of weight along both the X and the Z axis,” added Voshall. “We can set it to be very low spin, a more playable mid spin, heavily fade or draw biased and just about anything in-between.”

Like the ST-Z and ST-X, the ST-G 220 driver also features Mizuno’s latest SAT2041 Beta Ti face. SAT2041 stands for Super/Alloy/Titanium/20% Vanadium/4% Aluminum/1% Tin and it offers 17% more tensile strength and 8% more flexibility than traditional 6-4Ti.

Greater draw/fade bias: Increased separation between lateral weight tracks.

Consistently Solid Feedback: A tighter range of feel and sound across the weight settings.

Quick Switch Adjustability: 4 degrees of loft adjustability (7-11 degrees) to fine-tune look and trajectory.

Optimised Wave Sole: Delivers an additional contribution to ball speed from low on the clubface.
