Maybe even a winner from Mizuno.

I really like the look of it. Pretty unique idea to have the option of moving the CoG forward or back in the club though I wonder just how far it actually moves. Soon I bet there will be a club come out with sliding weights around the back of the club and front to back like this one. If it is high launch and low spin I'd game it !

I just can't buy in to all these adjustments.   If I do my part with a non-adj driver I've found that works for me, it goes straight.     If I mess up, it hooks or slices.    Its the best club in my bag.    If you're a tinkerer by nature, all those adjustments would be great ... they're just not for me.

Its interesting to see Mizuno going back to sliding weight technology, which they had long before the SLDR came out, BTW.  (Mizuno pioneered the technology with their Fasttrack drivers years ago)  I am a bit surprised to see them coming out with another JPX driver, when in the past theyve alternated between MX/JPX drivers and MP drivers.  Perhaps they are abandoning the concept of a player's driver.

I like the color.  Mizuno never seems to put as much effort into their woods, which is a shame.

FWIW, I asked my fitter about movable weights back when TM and others had 3 or 4 gram weights.  He didn't really think they helped at all. Some of the newer version have a much larger weights now.

My MP650 fairway would like to voice its disapproval. Probably the best value I've ever gotten for a club purchase. I'd put it up against most drivers off the tee.

As for the sliding weights, don't forget mizuno came up with it years ago: http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/woods/mp-630-ft/ seem familiar?

As far as abandoning the MP line of woods, I highly doubt it. You'd lose tour players over that, plus there's the very lucrative domestic Japanese market. Mizuno doesn't only concern itself with one country, it's popular worldwide.

The point of all the adjustments is to allow you to be fitted and dialed in without having to have a club fitting rack full of all the combinations that that one adjustable driver can provide. So it is for the ease of fitting  and most will say once you are dialed in then you just leave it alone. If you buy a club online that is glued in that doesn't fit you then you have no options but to sell it but an adjustable driver likely has a setting somewhere on it that fits the large majority of golfers. I personally love it because that means that all of the companies are much more likely to offer lefty clubs because one club can provide most all of the loft options.

A lot of their Pros don't use the Mizuno woods or at least not the driver. I hope they continue to develop more woods.  I am a fan of their clubs.  Check out the profiles below.

Stacy Lewis uses the same FW as you though, and she is a great player.

Well it seems Luke Donald used the driver at the tournament.

Chris Wood uses the JPX EX driver

and a few more gaming their woods.

I absolutely think they get in business with this driver.

Colors are great to. Looks better than the Nike Covert II ( red color ) i personally hate that.

I like the blue color. I wish the adjustment on the bottom went more forward, but its an interesting idea.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
