Mizuno ST180 Driver Tensei CK Blue 60-S

[NZ Golfer]

Think after going through a mix of TaylorMade driver heads M1-M4 and using the Tenesi white CK 70  XS shaft over the last couple of years I think I've finally found a driver that will stay in the bag for many many years (surely)

 The 2018 Mizuno ST180 ... and with the tenesi ck blue 60 shaft seems to be a much better fit for my swing speed 110mph+ 

For one the lighter shaft gives me a better feel for the head position .. the blue head maybe even helps a touch

Now previously to the TM M1 I had a year of trying out many drivers from R11 to PING G20-G25-G30 and pretty much all the major drivers at the range test days and for me, the Taylormade drivers seem to always give me better distance and feel ..I do enjoy the F7 but was easy 10-15 yards shorter

really only been the last few months where I've been studying what shaft I should use and the effects  (In the past as long as it was Stiff-shaft it would do)

Now I actually purchased the second-half but mint Mizuno because of the shaft as the price was cheaper than trying to buy the shaft by $100..

Out on the range took a few hits to get a good feel ...and was impressed very hot off the face

The proof was in play under pressure at yesterdays weekly Club Comp where the new Driver was brilliant with only one of 14 drives getting me in trouble 

Distance wise no difference to the M4 or M1 .. IMHO its a very underrated driver - really well made strong looking head 

review ==anyone else with this driver in the bag ?????

That is my current driver. I like the blue head although I know it's not everyones cup of tea. Paired with a Aldila Tour Blue 75, cut down a bit and hotmelted back to weight. Mizuno has had plenty of great drivers that never got the respect they deserved. The new 190 is probably the first that really gets the recognition in a long time.

yes, the price was 30%+ less than what I would pay to secure a Taylormade or Ping 2018 with the Tenesi or similar quality shaft ...

Don't want to jinx the driver but at this stage, I'm really confident it will stay in the bag for a some time
