Mizuno Golf has today unveiled its new ST-X 220 fairway woods and hybrids, which will arrive at retail on February 3rd.

ST-X 220 fairway woods

Engineered to produce a higher, draw-biased flight, the ST-X 220 fairway woods feature deep internal weighting and are designed for those with moderate swing speeds who need elevated launch to achieve their optimal distance and controlled landing angles.

3-wood

The ST-X 220 3-wood features a full Ti construction with a high ball speed SAT2041 Beta face – as featured in Mizuno’s drivers, combined with a Ti811 body.

Per Mizuno, the combination has helped its engineers to create a 3-wood that produces the highest ever ball speeds from a Mizuno fairway wood.

With Maraging MAS1C steel face, the 5 and 7 wood are significantly more compact than the 3 wood for optimal use from the fairways.

Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Research has built sound into the design, delivering vibration patterns elite players associate with a ‘solid’ feel. In addition, the Optimized Wave Sole is a fairway-specific design to help create higher ball speeds from low on the face – suited to strikes directly from the turf.

“There are a lot of forgiving looking fairways woods that don’t launch high enough for the average amateur. Size and footprint is only one part of the equation – most of us need a little more spin and elevation to carry the ball to our full capability. The ST-X is designed to solve that issue.” – Mizuno’s Director of Product Chris Voshall

ST-X 220 hybrids

Engineered to produce a higher, draw-biased flight, the ST-X hybrids are aimed at moderate swing speed players.

Mizuno’s X-Axis design features an ultra-light waffle crown, with deep internal weighting to encourage a high draw-biased flight, while at 1.8mm, the high-speed MAS1C face is Mizuno’s thinnest hybrid face to date, and it is designed to produce the highest recorded ball speeds from center strikes (compared to previous ST-X and CLK).

In addition, as with the fairway woods, Harmonic Impact Research has built sound into the design while an Optimized Wave Sole is featured in a hybrid-specific design that helps create higher ball speeds from low on the face – suited to strikes directly from the turf.

“The ST-X is a great hybrid option for players with moderate ball speeds. With the new thinner face and internal weighting, it’s a nice alternative that will suit a lot of amateur golfers.” – Chris Voshall
