Mizuno ST190 woods, anyone?


j.a.

Recommended Posts

So I took a bunch of clubs I didn’t use and made a deal for a brand new Mizuno ST190 5 wood and other stuff in a nearby shop. The club looks great, in store test was very good and came home. The idea was to replace an old Callaway 5W XHot2 that works very well.

Yesterday I took it to the course and I couldn’t hit it from the turf, my best shot went like 120m and lift was around 1ft, very disappointing. At the end, I took it to the range with similar results. What has been your experiences with this model?

In the meantime the XHot2 is back to the bag.

Were you making good contact on the course and getting it that distance/apex?

I own a ST190 TS 3 wood, slightly deeper face (but not that much) and I personally like it a lot better from my previous Cobra F7 but I think it was more of a shaft issue. Launches fairly easy on and off a tee with the ATMOS Black TS shaft that came with it. One problem that kind of bugs me is the face wear when you hit it a lot especially at the range. The darker finish tends to leave some marks

I bought a ST190 15° 3 wood with Fuji Atmos Blue in December, I could not get along with it. I picked up a F9 3 wood this week, same Atmos Blue shaft. I played it today and hit on the range. It's so much better than the ST190. I love the low profile the F9. Only negative to the F9 is it very upright.

I game the ST190 driver and thought the fairway would be just as good. It just didn't work for me, launched to low and no adjustments. The F9 at 14.5° with the same Atmos shaft launches higher and goes further. Easy decision.

I could hit a putter that far. Not a club problem.

Gamed the ST-190 3 and 5 woods last year. Felt and look good, but had trouble getting them in the air. Prefer G410s better due ease of getting them in the air and the ability to adjust.

My wife plays the JPX900 3 wood and tried to use the ST190 and just couldnt. She hated it.

So after making fun of her I tried it out along side my Epic Flash fairway and I didnt like it either.

The ST190 driver on the other hand has been awesome.

Is it a swing weight issue? Perhaps a shaft issue? I can get quick with light clubs and get very inconsistent results.

In my experience the TS 3 wood is a rocket. I am a big fan. But I had to pair it with the right shaft, otherwise I would be in the same boat. It isn't a high launching FW, so I needed the right bend profile and weight. Bummer it hasn't worked out so far...

Interesting comments from everyone, thanks so much.

Yesterday there was a multi brand demo day at my home club, I tried a Srixon 5W and couldn’t hit it, it was somewhat frustrating. Then I walked to the Callaway tent, grabbed a Mavrik 5W and everything worked, the ball went airborne easily and to a decent distance. Both clubs were hit from the turf. I couldn’t test the Ping G410 as the guy was busy with a fitting but weeks before I used a 3W that worked fine.

I have no problems with my TEE 3W and the Rogue 7W. The first doesn’t go that high but is almost long as my driver. I’ll insist with the ST190 or it will go elsewhere.

First off, the X2 Hot is a great fairway, the X2Hot Pro is even better. I played that one forever and would recommend you look at the Cobra F9, Ping G410 or Wilson D7 as easy to launch 3 woods off turf. Ended up with the F9 with Atmos Blue and I never even had to loft up from 14.5 because it gets up quick. Definitely longer than the X2Hot Pro for me.

The shots where I made good contact were where the ball went farther but mostly rolling. I must hit it using different tee height and see how it goes.

Honestly I don’t like the black finish on the sole, it feels that the paint or finish will go shortly. That’s what I like of my old TEE XCG5 that after years of use and abuse, it looks still good.

They are low spin and low launch, im a low swing speed senior and it shouldn’t work, but I play the 5 wood in a atmos 6 red regular and it works great for me. I don’t use it going into greens but it’s a great club if you can hit fairways, rolls for ever.

Yeah, there are some clubs that worked well on over 100mph swings, I mean heads + shafts. My ST190 5W has the Atmos 6 Red whereas the Cally XHot 5W has a Project Xv, both are stock shafts and regular. Definitely launch is higher on the Cally but the balls from the Mizuno run like a rabbit but less distance than the old club that can go around 175m ~ 180m

I have the 3w and 5w. Deeper face, but I prefer that as I like to hit 3W off the tee. These woods do have more penetrating flight, but I wouldn't call them extremely low launching. I would say they are fairly user friendly off the deck, but you need to hit down a couple degrees and make good contact with them. They aren't going to perform if you are sweeping the wall.

I have an ST190 TS 3W with a GD AD DI 6s and this thing is a monster off the tee. I don't use it much from the fairway. I did run into an issue when playing in the rain that I couldn't get it up in the air and we attributed it to just not enough spin with the wet club face and ball. Other than that, it's got a nice, penetrating ball flight with this set up. I'm getting better with it off the turf since I've stopped swaying off the ball, but still get that occasional low squirter. I still trust my Adams Tight Lies Tour 5W way more from the fairway.
