Take the new ST180 driver for a spin
MIZUNO has announced the launch of its new ST180 Driver designed for high-speed, low-spin performance, which will be available in Ireland in February 2018.
The ST180 is the first Mizuno driver to feature Wave sole technology, which commits every available gram of weight low and towards the face, dropping spin rates for even the fastest, downward ball-strikers.
The Amplified Wave sole, originally engineered in Mizuno’s fairway woods, contracts and expands to increase the energy imparted to the ball for elevated ball speeds, while also pushing weight forward to vastly reduce spin rates.
A new Forged SP700 titanium multi-thickness face promotes accelerated ball speeds that take the ST180’s performance noticeably past its predecessors, while the striking blue head’s Internal Waffle Crown is a weight-saving design that allows more grams to be relocated low and forward to promote efficient low-spin performance.
“This was the biggest shock we’ve had in testing,” said Jeff Cook, PGA Tour Manager. “The spin rate and ball speed of this driver caught everybody out. The ST180 comes off so fast, with so little spin – it’s going to make a lot of good players question what they really need in a driver.”
The ST180 driver features a Quick Switch Adjustable Hosel that allows 4 degrees of loft adjustment and 3 degrees of lie adjustment so the clubs can be fine-tuned to the unique launch conditions and visual preferences of all golfers. A new expanded line of high-end shafts can also be fitted at no additional charge.
The ST180 driver will retail at €459 and will be available in men’s 9.5˚ and 12.5˚ models plus a ladies’ 12.5˚ model.
