Review: Mizuno MX-700 Driver

Dec. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- As the "MP" implies in Mizuno's lineup, the MP-600 is intended as a driver for better players. It features a neutral to open face angle at address and little or no slice correction (other than Mizuno's Fast Track weighting system that is). The MX-700, with its "MX" moniker, is aimed at any golfer looking to maximize distance, get a little help launching the ball, and reduce, if not eliminate, a slice.

The Mizuno MX-700 Driver is the much anticipated successor to the MX-560. The Hot Metal Ti-9 Titanium face expands the high COR area to deliver consistently long drives on even off centre hits. The Hot Metal technology has also lowered the centre of gravity and increased ball speed to produce lower spin and a higher, more penetrating ball flight. The reinforced internal hull of the driver helps to dampen vibration which Mizuno say means the odd sound of the MX-560 is gone to be replaced by a sweet sounding thump at impact.

The MX-700 driver is certainly easy to hit and even higher handicappers will find they can achieve consistent distance and direction off the tee. The club doesn’t feel too big at address but the clubface remains big enough to inspire confidence on every tee. The feel at impact is powerful and solid on even off centre hits and the sound is pleasingly strong without being loud enough to turn heads on adjoining holes.

With four different lofts available better players might want to go lower down the scale while the higher handicapper will be more comfortable with a more generous loft. In our opinion the MX-700 driver delivers a much more reliable performance than many more expensive drivers and with Mizuno ditching their traditional blue in favor of a yellow and black theme it looks great as well.

As I would expect with an MX club, there's a lot of forgiveness built into the MX-700. For starters, there's a generous sweet spot built into that large face. It's very easy to get the ball into the air, and mishits around the face still travel a respectable distance. I found that I was getting more carry with the MX-700 than I have with any driver, but the ball still ran out well once if finally came down.
