Not everyone has given up on titanium, you recognize.

While carbon fiber has develop into a preferred substitute materials for titanium alloy — and for good, legitimate causes — within the crown and sole of drivers and fairway woods, Mizuno says they’re still getting the toothpaste out of the titanium tube with the ST200 line of drivers.

The company is utilizing what it is looking a stronger titanium alloy in upgrading from the ST180 and ST190 drivers from the last two years. The face insert in the brand new ST200 line has what’s called solid SAT 2041, which the corporate says is stronger and more flexible than the 6-four titanium the company (and others) used within the earlier drivers.

Without getting too into the weeds, SAT 2041 has a structure that is more durable and recovers quicker without being so heavy, allowing Mizuno to hike ball speeds and improve power switch at influence with a more complicated face insert featuring varied ranges of thickness.

However, while titanium remains to be evolving, the corporate is utilizing carbon fiber within the crown of the ST200 lineup. The crown has inner ribs designed to strengthen the crown to higher accommodate face flex, whereas the load savings move the middle of gravity decrease and titanium forging sheet more back in two of the three models, whereas improving the MOI in all three. The wave pattern on the sole also is more compact than the prior model, enhancing the CG location.

There three drivers within the series are the ST200, the ST200G and ST200X.

The ST200 is the flagship of the road, and it has an adjustable hosel and a weight section in the back-middle of the only real to increase the MOI rating north of 5,000 for improved stability while keeping the middle of gravity low for perfect launch circumstances for many players. It’s available in 9.5- and 10.5-degree heads. The ST200X is a lightweight mannequin with larger obtainable lofts. Draw bias thanks to weight in the heel. It makes use of a 48-gram shaft and weighs 267 grams total, saving 50 grams over the other two models. These lightweight drivers became popular in Japan and are starting to catch on with some older golfers here, too. It’s out there solely in 10.5 levels.

The ST200G is the driver within the series that produces the least spin and is most compact. It has a weight observe that allows a participant to dial in spin inside a 300 rpm vary relying on where weight is positioned. The corporate says the ST200G spin profile continues to be decrease than the ST190G model, even with the ST200G sporting the burden all the way again on the track and having a higher MOI profile than its predecessor. It’s out there solely in a 9-diploma head.

All three drivers have a loft sleeve which may change the loft by 2 degrees up or down, giving a 4-diploma vary.

The Mizuno ST200 drivers are available Jan. 21 for preorder and Feb. 4 at retail for $four hundred for the ST200 and ST200X and for $500 within the ST200G.

ST200 fairway woods

The ST200 fairway woods are available two models: the ST200 and the ST200 TS.

The TS mannequin is more compact but is adjustable, whereas the ST200 is not adjustable and has a bigger footprint for larger MOI and increased forgiveness. Both use maraging MAS1C steel, a new alloy for Mizuno that is been utilized in race automobile engines, titanium tube that is significantly thinner than the ST190s.

The carbon composite crown is new, featuring inside ribs for strengthening the construction. The wave structure was also made tighter, like within the driver. The load savings have been, of course, used to push mass decrease and farther back to drop CG compared to its predecessor.
