2024 has been a very interesting year for driver launches. With COR having been limited for many years now, it seems that manufacturers have given up on telling us that their driver is massively longer than its competitors (at least on center strikes). Instead, the message of 2024 for the best drivers, seems to be all about forgiveness, MOI and stability.
Entering that market is the Mizuno ST-MAX 230 driver, promising to be Mizuno’s most stable driver ever. Now, if I were a suspicious man, I would be wondering whether I had a spy in my R&D department if I were running TaylorMade, Ping or Mizuno, as it seems that all three have essentially achieved the same thing in the same way!
