To decide which Mizuno wood is best for you, look for the right combination of loft, shaft material and shaft flex.
Mizuno woods - loft
The loft on Mizuno drivers range from 7-12 degrees. High lofts hit higher shots and low lofts hit lower shots. Mizuno drivers (1 wood) with 9-11 degrees loft are suitable for most golfer. Mizuno woods with less loft than 9 degrees are more suitable for low handicap golfers. Golfers with a slower swing will usually hit the ball further using a Mizuno driver with a higher loft. The same is true with Mizuno fairway woods. The higher the loft the easier to hit the ball but the less distance it goes.
Mizuno woods – shaft.
Most tour professionals use graphite shafts in drivers. Mizuno woods with graphite shafts hit the ball a little further than woods with steel shafts and dampen the vibration caused when striking the ball. Mizuno woods with steel shafts are generally only offered as a special option. Some golfers think Mizuno woods with steel shafts offer better feel.
Mizuno woods - flex
Mizuno woods with regular flex shafts are suitable for most golfers. Mizuno woods with a stiff flex provide more accuracy for those with strong or quick swings. Mizuno woods with light flex are aimed at golfers with slower swing speeds. The extra whip in a Mizuno light flex shaft can be a great help to those who do not hit the ball very far, but will be less accurate for stronger players.
Mizuno woods - steel or titanium head?
Titanium is half the weight of steel and more expensive. Its light weight allows Mizuno to make bigger heads which have bigger sweet spots. Big headed Mizuno drivers are much more forgiving. Even tour players benefit from using titanium headed drivers. Large titanium heads on fairway woods are not as popular. They can be less easy to control when you are playing the ball from the fairway rather than teeing it up
