Mizuno hasn’t had the best reputation for golf drivers in the past but the Mizuno MX-700 driver signals a new attempt to establish the company as well regard producer of drivers. It is the successor to the MX-500 and sees the sound improved from the previous generation and a streamlined club head.
The MX-700 has the lowest, deepest center of gravity and highest moment of inertia of any Mizuno driver. The result is high, penetrating trajectory and low spin making this club a very forgiving golf driver with plenty of distance and consistency.
The main selling point of this driver is the Ti0 Hot Metal technology. This means that a Ti-9 titanium clubface is combined with a 6-4 titanium body. It is this face design which enables faster ball speed across the entire face for further distance on off-centre strikes in comparison to the previous MX-500 model.
The weight saved by the Ti9 Hot Metal technology enables a broad and wide geometry which places the centre of gravity low and deep. The sweet spot is also placed in a central location for better vertical stability. This all combines to produce the low spin and high, penetrating ball flight.
In contrast to the MX-500’s strange high-pitched sound, the MX-700 has a vibration dampening internal hull to give a powerful sounding ‘thump’ and improved feel.
The end result is a driver that is easy to hit, even for players with high handicaps. It is best suited to those who lose serious distance to slight mishits or players who want a high-tech driver with plenty of forgiveness.
The club head is 460cc. The lofts are 9.5, 10.5, 12 and 13.5. The length is 45.5 inches. The shaft is a Exsar DS4 with flexes of LL, L, LT, R and S.
What the Company Says:
"All the game improvement drivers out there have high MOI and COR to the [rules] limit. We take these elements to the extreme with revolutionary Ti-9 titanium that comprises the 'Hot Metal' face. You’ll never hit it longer or straighter." - Masao Nagai, global director of R&D.
