Which Mizuno hybrids?

[mrshinsa]

Mizuno has three hybrid options.  

What are the key differences, and why pick one over the other?

Is it me or do they have the worst website for a major manufacturer?

I’ll try and keep it simple. 

 

STZ 230

More traditional hybrid with adjustability.  Compact in size, flatter flight window.

 

FliHi

Meant to be a long iron replacement.  Lofts start at the 4i.

 

STX 220

Larger footprint and draw bias.  Non adjustable, easy to launch for moderate swing speeds.

The JPX-923 Fli-Hi hybrids are an interesting offering -> I have them in 26,23,20* in my weekend / cottage set.

 

They are priced the exact same ( $cheap ) as an iron in the JPX series, are ordered with an iron shaft ( not a .370 hybrid shaft ) , and are meant to blend in with any JPX iron series, hence offered by the loft number, not labelled 4H,5H,6H etc.  They are also shorter in length to make blending more seamless.  For example, the 23* is 39.0" whereas the 220/230 are about 40".    Though they do not have an adjustable hosel ( epoxied in like any iron ) , the hosel is bendable.

 

Sound and feel-wise, they make a nice solid thwack sound.  👍

I have Recoil 95S in mine ( no upcharge ).

I am trying to decide what hybrids to get to compliment my recently received JPX923Tours.   I didn't order a 4i with the set.  

 

For one thing, how can I possibly add the FliHi hybrids to my set after the fact?  PGA Superstore was mis informed and literally told me they are only available with a hot metal set.  But anyway, they told me I can't order them seperately they are only available with the set, so is it not possible for me to somehow order them after the fact to add with my JPX tours?  I'm definitely intrigued by them, would probably get the 20 and 23, the 5i is at 27 I believe.  Would be nice to have in the same shafts as my irons.

 

but I do have to say, based on various reviews I'm also curious about the STZ, will have to try them.  Double the price of the Fli Hi's, but adjustable.  longer shafts...

 

For me, i need something to cover 195 carry and 205 carry approach shots.  My JPX923Tour 5i I carry about 185 on decent strikes...but anyway, in theory the two hybrids could get me the extra carry distances..  but its pretty much impossible to try these Fli Hi's out..nobody has them to demo.

ST-Z 230 22* 4 hybrid.

I don't "buy" that answer from PGA SS about the JPX hybrids can only be bought in a set.  I ordered just the 23 & 26 along with a Mizzy putter in the early spring, and recently ordered the 20* and another Mizzy putter 6 weeks ago.  I got no resistance from my dealer or his Rep, though I'm in Canada.

I just got a set of 923 Hot Metals, and I got the Fli Hi 4&5 to replace my 4&5 iron. I really don’t like them. I hit them way too low. I would have been better off just getting the irons they were supposed to replace.

I have had this style of flihi in a Mizuno set in 2014 and I did not like the style.
