Mizuno ST-Z FW vs PING G425 FW

[agood3putt]

Anyone hit both head to head and can give some insight on your findings of the fairway woods?

I saw the video should’ve prefaced with that. Matt isn’t human so looking for ordinary peoples opinions lol

Great way to phrase it, lol.  Also, I can see in your sig you have the new ST-Z - how do you like it? I'm very tempted to give it the dreaded test drive.

Seems a deal with real aftermarket stock shafts at no upcharge.

 

3 wd wants to launch/spin and that may help many. If I remember Matt dialed down the loft to get a similar comparison with the Ping. Mizuno was very impressive with a tour look.

I tested it at demo day a couple weeks ago and loved it. Got it with a Diamana D+ LTD shaft so it’s taking some time to get to me!

Anyone else have any experience input on both head to head?

 Mizuno is better sounding and a bit more fade biased to me. Ping is more forgiving.  Only 18 holes with the Mizuno so far, hit the Ping on the simulator.  Hope to play tomorrow and will provide more feedback.

I have not hit the ST-Z head but know the ST190 and ST200 well and like them both.  I agree with the posters here that they are both great heads and the Ping is slightly more forgiving.  I chose the Mizuno head (and may upgrade to the ST Z) because my 3 wood is used much more off the tee than the deck and I found the deeper face to be much better suited for me off the tee.  It is a great tee club that you can still use off the deck but certainly not as easy as the Ping from the fairway.
