Mizu 6 X Adjustable hosel: Yes X Loft change: 12 settings +/- 1°
TECH: The smaller head (445cc) is aimed at faster swing speed players and is easier to shape shots with while a “power wave sole” allows the entire sole of the driver to flex, enhancing spring back particularly on shots hit low on the face. A new, larger face cup expands the sweet spot across more of the face, 4g of weight has been removed from the crown to enhance MOI.
WE SAY: It’s an absolute beast in the right hands. Our test pro impacted shots both high and low on the face, giving the Z765 a seriously good work out. It’s got to be said shots hit low on the face performed particularly well, which is worth remembering if your natural tendency is to impact shots below centre. The head’s unashamedly fuss-free and aimed at the better player – there are no crown graphics or alignment aids, which will float the boat for a small niche of very decent golfers.
TOP GEAR VERDICT
If you’re a fan of slightly smaller drivers and have a tendency to hit shots low in the face, the Z765 is worth seeking out. It’s now in its last year on the shelves so there’s a chance you might even find one for a bargain price.
