i got fitted for a driver a week ago and out of all the clubs i hit the mizuno was the best. great feel, sound, distance, and consistency

[@LetsPlayThru]

[@juliusagdeppa5732]

what shaft used? club speed? ball flight?

[@brandondaling3776]

@@juliusagdeppa5732 I got fitted for the stz Saturday. Ventus black x-stiff 7.5 degrees. The thing that stuck out to me was the dispersion... By far and away the most consistent

[@chazychaz008]

I got the mizuno Stz with x stiff hazrdous smoke rdx black shaft 9.5 degree and it’s a beast. Love it and people need stop sleeping on mizuno drivers from now on

[@frankleemartin54]

I just ordered a used Mizuno STz on eBay. Picked it up for $250 and it looks like it is in mint condition based on your rating. Good news is I can test it and send it back if I don't like it because the company has a 30-day return policy. I order the 10.5 because as reduce loft to 9.375 it opens the face 2.5 degrees and the 10.5 is 1 degree open. I like to hit a little cut shot so an open face looks good to me in setting up. I am having a little buyer's remorse after seeing your distance comparison. I have an TM M1 that I still carry about 240-250 in the air, so we'll see if there are any significant distance gains. If not, it'll be going back within 30 days. I also ordered a brand-new set of 2020 MP-20 HMB's (3i-PW) for $850. The new list price was $1399. They also have a 30-day return policy. Pretty excited to see how they play. I used to play the MP-14's back in the mid 90's and I absolutely loved those clubs. Looking forward to that magic feel only a Mizuno can give you.

[@brandonrivers8275]

I love the sounds after each hit from the drivers. I had to double check on what I was watching. Love the videos

[@myopenmind527]

Just got fitted for the mizuno STz. Really seeing big gains in distance and accuracy compared to my old Callaway. Regularly finding the fairway at 275 yrs and drives of 293 & 295 on my last round. I’m one happy Mizuno customer.

Thanks so much Jonathan. Welcome to the channel!

[@johncooper4209]

Looks like you purchased the correct club. Can see by the smile on your face and you did seem amazed by some of the results. Good to see what half a degree raise in the Sim 2 can do. Great and honest review again as always. A pleasure to see your videos.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks John. Gotta say, I’m shocked that 1/2 degree made any noticeable difference...but in fact it was HUGE. Lesson learned for me right there.

[@ChiliDippaGolf]

That sim 2 is a beast! I thought that last hole would have been so much closer between the 2 but damn. Great in depth test of these 2 incredible drivers! Doesn't get more real then that! Great job out there on the course Gabe!

[@LetsPlayThru]

They are both amazing in their own ways. But I am really happy with my choice right now. I might have to tell the wife a sad story, she’ll have to move to the couch because the Sim2 is coming to bed with me 🤣

[@kevinbutler5271]

Watched four of your videos in the last couple of days. Content is great and it is refreshing watching a "regular" golfer. It is also really nice seeing side by sides of competing clubs as opposed to watching individual reviews and having to compare them in my head. You got a new subscriber and if you ever want to play a course in Orlando you let me know.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Awesome Kevin, really happy to hear it’s been helpful. Thanks for the Otown invite. We’re actually hosting a Tampa meet up in September so let me know if you want the details on that.

[@swrveGaming]

Loved watching your two videos, really glad I picked the sim 2. After watching your vid I knew I made the right choice when getting fitted. Extremely pumped for mine to come in the mail!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Awesome, I hope you enjoy your new driver! Please come back and let me know how you hit it.

[@swrveGaming]

@@LetsPlayThru hey just an update after having the driver a little over a month and a half now. It is awesome!! The sim 2 max hits extremely straight and I hit bombs with it. I love this driver and probably won’t stop using it for a really long time

[@swrveGaming]

I also think playing the extra stiff 70g shaft helped me out a lot too

[@Blackhorseveteran]

Another excellent video. I'm already pretty long off the tee, and don't have an issue with distance, so I'm still looking at the Mizuno for tight dispersion. I'm a lefty, so some hitting centers don't have all the selections to try...and I need to watch/rely on others videos to come to a decision. Thanks for an actual on course test.

[@kennyhoosen215]

If your in the market for a Mizuno Stz, I got a lefty I wouldn’t mind letting go of

[@OneSlowLT1]

The shooting the pin and not back at the tee box is going to throw off how much further one is. The course layout can be 10 yards closer to a hole just depending where you are on the fair way

[@samstauffer8764]

Thanks, but were the shafts that came with the club, used? Would you think about changing shafts?

[@bluey1000]

I bought the Sim2 Driver and got to test it last night. My good shots and bad shots all felt long and penetrating. Off center shots gave up very little distance and held their line. Definitely went further than my trusty M2 and were also great into the wind with the reduction in RPM's. I was having so much fun it was tough to leave the course. Worth every penny.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks for sharing. Had a very similar experience too. The mishits still flew which is awesome.

[@terrorfactoryfilms]

Nice review, thanks. I totally agree re: the feel of the SIM2 not being all that great, even on solid shots. I absolutely love the look of the SIM, but the feel (to me) is too sluggish, heavy, and dead. Haven't tried the Mizuno yet, so will have to give it a whirl.

[@LetsPlayThru]

It's def worth a test. They're both so solid really, hard to choose.

[@davezalinko1354]

Went and swung irons and drivers the other at a simulator. Went with Sim 2 Max, and irons, as well as Ping G425 Max driver and irons. Haven’t swung for a long time as I live in a winter climate. Was a little rusty at the start but in a few swings things were back to normal. First swung the TaylorMade stuff. Really liked the look of the driver and irons. Both driver and irons seemed very forgiving. Was hitting 7 iron 175-180 and driver on average 285-290. Then went to the Pings. Irons were on average close 10 yards longer and seemed to fly straighter. Then came the driver. I was expecting big things from this ... but was actually disappointed. On average it was 15-20 yards shorter than the SIM 2. The one thing I didn’t like was the sound it made. It was like a “thud”. The one thing it had was more forgiveness. Question is ... would it be wrong to have Ping irons and a Sim 2 driver? Maybe there is another brand I should be trying. After watching this video it’s obvious the Sim flys like a plane. Thx for this video, great analysis of each and great honesty.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Not sure if you saw my PING driver video but this was EXACTLY my experience too. Totally fine to play different manufacturers in my opinion.

[@davezalinko1354]

Yes I’ve seen them all. 😂😂👍👍

[@vincejackson04]

A mixed bag of clubs to me means you've picked what suits you in all different areas, not just followed a brand name, so I think that's cool !

[@Giovanni-zc1lv]

Love this type of content On Course with all the toys! I can't get through the stock TM S shafts for years. So a shaft change morenthan likely? I went through the JDM phase a few ago and I do know love that Mizzy feel. I haven't been able to kick the Adam's F12 LS with Fubuki @ for 12 years. 2nd brand new head never hit Yet! Cheers

[@LetsPlayThru]

Fubuki, nice! I totally get that, Giovanni.When you feel comfortable and are familiar with the club, that’s the best.

[@stevev1758]

TM added length could be 45.75" shaft compared with STZ 45". I'll take more fairways myself. thanks for good video!

[@johng9796]

Fantastic video!!! I have three requests (if possible).1. SIM 2 vs SIM 2 Max 2. TSi2 vs TSi3 3. Winner of 1 and 2 v.s. each other.

[@LetsPlayThru]

SIM 2 VS SIM MAX will for sure happen. Will try for the others. Thank you

[@home4ya]

great review, I think your Sim2 was undefeated as the 1 Mizzy winner was a toe hit (which can be long) vs Sim was a "Jimmy Swagger" (healer) and those are short so hits not equal. Always fun to find a driver set up best for your swing, congrats. I much prefer on course reviews, too many variables. Be fun to see the same test with Sim2 vs TSi3 vs Epic Speed, soon I will see how those compare to my gamer (Ping 400 max) but have to do inside, I dont have access to demos. My guess is all 3 will be longer but I'm not willing to lose fairways hit so we'll see. Well done.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Dave. Jimmy Swagger has me like 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@connke867]

Great vids, I binged a bunch of your content recently. I want your opinion, do you think it's worth upgrading from a 2008 TaylorMade R7 CGB Max to a new 2021 driver? I like my old driver and wondering if the $500 is worth it.

[@jasonmiller4080]

Yes! Great video thank you. Any head to head vids are awesome. I think after watching your vids the Sim2 seems like it’s gonna be your champion.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I definitely feel like I’ve made the right choice for me this year

[@markk171]

Love this type of video...on course, real conditions is the truest test. I sport a 20+ year old Adams Tight Lies 363cc Titanium 9 degree stiff shaft driver. I am looking for a replacement this year. So far, my Adams has out performed a couple of the newer drivers. But, I REALLY want to test out the Mizuno and the Taylormade. The Cobra line is also something I really want to try. Of course, I will try as many as I can! Again, thanks for the videos!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Whoa! That’s a classic right there. Let us know what you end up liking the best please.

[@coltharris8471]

I’m interested in your third hole you played. The Mizuno tracked well left of where the Taylormade did, yet when you picked up recording, the Mizuno was way right and the TM ball was pretty far to the left. They must’ve both gotten pretty bad bounces in opposite directions to end up with that outcome.

[@cryptolockxrp2014]

Just bought the STz new for $210 out the door! Beautiful club!

[@OneSlowLT1]

Would love to see you go through more of an in depth fitting with top models You found this year. Just pulling them off the shelf and hitting them kind isn’t there best way to go about it from shaft to shaft could change feel, distance, swing weight, launch,

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks. We did do this with Wade a few weeks back, but you’re right...I should go thru the entire fitting process myself and tape it. Will try to make that happen.

[@OneSlowLT1]

@@LetsPlayThru Think finding the right shaft/swing weight/length combo along with getting the head exactly where YOU present it the best for the best spin/launch window I think you may get to a lot more of them par 5s than you think 🤭🤭

[@johnklink4825]

Shat is the transmission. Tell us what you’re using in each driver.

[@kodigeiger3177]

What was the shaft length of these drivers? I see the Sim 2 is 45.75 and Mizuno is 45 inches, which could be the reason for the extra yardage.

[@pegteam1714]

Just a thought here, I'm pretty sure that if you committed to the sim2 then you got it after a custom fit session? Where as the SZ is coming to you direct from the shelf, so is that really comparable? I'm guessing that mizuno have 16 or s free custom fit shafts for a reason, and any one of those could work better or you than an off the shelf generic stiff flex. Otherwise, yep, a fun review.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks... to answer your questions they're actually both off the shelf / stock setups, nothing too fancy shaft wise on either. No customizations from me. Just purely what any average joe could pickup in store / online. That is one amazing thing about Mizuno though, that you can get a number of customizations and they don't charge for it. A +1 in their category for sure.

[@TheBigbone7]

PXG 0211 driver, have you tried it?

[@gilleonard7378]

Great test. Just not a TM fan. The Mizuno is plenty long enough for me by your testing. Would like to see a test between the Sim2 and the Callaway Speed.

[@CameronMoses]

Loving these on course shootouts! Would love to see you hit a SIM vs SIM 2. I have a SIM and when I hit it sweet, this thing just goes. Not the fastest swinger in the world and can easily stick with my mates and even out drive them sometimes. I find the SIM gets lots of roll out too.

[@lnick9428]

Nice battle. The TM Sim 2 seems to be a beast. One of my buddies has last years TM Sim and despite us having similar swing speeds ( ~ 90 mph) I usually outdrive him. lol I've have the Ping G400 for close to 4 years (Graphite Design Xdirectional shaft) and it's the most forgiving driver (over 9000 MOI I believe) I've had even though it's 445cc's. I'm 65 and ~ a 11 handicap and need all the forgiveness I can get. Ordered a Ping G425 from Edwin Watts last week. Don't expect it to be any longer (maybe a touch more forgiving), but wanted something new. Got mine with the Tensei Orange Raw 55 at 45 1/4". Should be coming in a few weeks from Ping. For those thinking about a PING club this year. Their stock grips come with Arrcos. However, the last 1/2 inch on the grip there is no shaft there. You can bend it over with your thumb. So if you don't want Arrcos you need to order it from Ping. Otherwise if you just regrip it'll be 1/2" shorter. Would like to see the Ping G425 against the TM Sim 2. Doubt it would win distance wise, but forgiveness wise it would win imo. I do have last years TM Sim Max OS irons. Again, all about forgiveness for me.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I think you're right...at least based on my simulator tests, the G425 is more accurate / consistent I'd say. I was pleasantly surprised by the Arrcos addition. Just noticed it on my 3 wood today in fact. Thanks for checking out the vids.

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

Is there any chance of comparing the new Tour edge C721 driver against either the Mizuno or Sim2 Please. i'm hearing some great reviews about the T/E C721 and its well priced.

[@James_Vaughn]

Good shootin! Looks like you made the right choice. With the ball speed numbers being so close, the Sim2 must give you better launch/spin conditions.

@@LetsPlayThru That is a good increase. I have a friend who owns a local golf shop, so I get to try out all the newest stuff, however, I have yet to find more than a few yds difference between them.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I’m not 100% sure on that to be honest. I would think it depends on the shaft.

Just a thought....👍

Really appreciate that, Jeffrey, thank you. I’m right in between in terms of shafts. But I generally lean toward stiff flex. My driver is 60g Stiff. I am def going to try and do a shaft comparison video soon. 🙏

[@Denim0920]

Love the review but the second shot had to go to sim2. That faded more off the face than your mizuno ball according to shot trace. No fade/slice there and it clears the mizuno. Fairway is better than rough 90% of the time. 5 yards there on that shot isn’t much IMO. Thanks for the review. Sim2 is hot.

Fair points indeed

[@Denim0920]

Good luck with the sim2! Got myself one. Ventus blue shaft. Love the flight and control. Distance is a monster on it. Mizuno did feel great but like you said the forgiveness on mis hits with the sim2 is enough to go for it.

Hold your horses bro. You swing harder than me so you can handle the disparity in the length of the TM vs the MIZZY. I find that I can't get around so well on a 45 3/4 inch driver (TM standard length). I can get around on a 45 inch driver (Mizuno's standard length). Winner for me would be Mizuno all day long. Also, just to let your viewers know TM does nothing swing weight wise if you order the Sim2 in a shorter length than its standard of 45 3/4 length. Most guys would be more accurate and hit longer(on average) with the consistency of a shorter length driver. Winner Mizuno all day long ( for most of us slower than average swingers).

How can you measure distance from the tee by measuring to the flag. It's all dependent on where the flag is? You could hit it 300 yards on a dog leg hole of 400 yrds and end up 200 yards from the hole. Poor system. But thanks for trying

[@LetsPlayThru]

I appreciate the critique...my thinking was “what club puts you in a better position to score,” is really the most relevant metric here.

[@mrwoo33]

@@LetsPlayThru totally appreciate your thought process. In all honesty, drivers nower days should be about forgiveness and suitability. We know that R&A /USGA measures show that COR means that they are all pretty much the same. So refreshing to see how amateurs like ourselves will hit the ball 👍

[@rickhammel9541]

If you're only swinging 99 I would suggest a 10.5 degree.

[@markbarry789]

Are you based in Tampa?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes

[@drhee99]

you can't measure the distance of the drives by lasering the remaining distance to the flag. They both could have flown the same distance but if one flew towards the apex of the dogleg and one flew toward the outside corner, the ball at the outside corner is going to be way farther away from the flag. I would like you to repeat these test but with you lasering a target on the tee box, or just using GPS to track your shots.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks, yes got some similar comments so I ended up changing the methodology of how I measured these. Now using GPS to determine it in all of our vides.

Just commented on a different review of yours. But went from the ST-Z to the Sim2 . Really no comparison.

[@petercusanelli5663]

Why would you not just do the whole test with same specs?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Some will play a stock config right off the shelf, some like to customize their setup a bit. Gotta say, I didn't think 1/2 degree would do anything and I was pleasantly surprised to see it made a considerable difference. Wouldn't have known unless I tested that.

[@maamold]

Based on the numbers you were getting the SIM2 gave you lower spin numbers and rolled more because of it.

[@j2pac88]

It's still not an apples to apples test. I believe that the SIM 2, comes standard with a longer shaft. Unless you were playing the same shaft, in the exact same length, it's tough to call this a fair comparison, IMO. 🤷

[@simonbainbridge4843]

Don’t forget the Mizuno is 45” stock length though.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Ah, good to know. I'm not sure I ever looked at that. SIM 2 is 45.5" I know for sure .

That’s 100% true

[@raymondm4441]

Unless you use same shaft, same length, same SW etc.. Comparison is no good. Sim 2 already starts out at 3/4 monger in length.

[@cwugrad396]

only 3 mins in but i’d rather be 113 out than 99 out. but the look, sound and feel of the TM can’t be beat ... i don’t like the shiny crowns

[@LetsPlayThru]

Both are super solid. It’s almost 6 in one hand half a dozen in the other. I think it just comes down to personal preferences, one a bit longer and the other a bit more consistent. Can’t go wrong tho

[@cwugrad396]

@@LetsPlayThru both solid but I am partial to TM, Ping, PXG bc of the matte finish and no glare. for the money that Mizuno is a real winner

Sim has lower spin and thus runs out more with less carry on shot # 4

Yes, I think that's exactly right.
