What we say...
We review the Mizuno ST-Z 230 hybrid, Mizuno’s single-model hybrid golf club offering.
The Mizuno ST-Z 230 hybrid is a mid-to-low spin, high-launch, adjustable hybrid.
It comes in a range of lofts, but, unlike many manufacturers, Mizuno is only offering one hybrid model. Brands like TaylorMade and Callaway tend to release more than one model with different target golfers in mind, but Mizuno feel the ST-Z 230 can do it all and offers enough improvement to secure a place among our pick of the best hybrid golf clubs.
Utilizing a high-energy MAS1C steel face boosted by Mizuno’s CORTECH Chamber, Mizuno say the ST-Z 230 hybrid delivers exceptional ball speeds and a powerful, solid sensation at impact.
It has a slightly larger, more playable footprint than its predecessor the CLK, with a waffle crown and thick sole weight engineered to create a low sweet spot and deep center of gravity for high launch and efficient spin rates.
“The CORTECH Chamber is very effective on the fairway woods and hybrids as it does such a good job of lowering the sweet spot – maintaining ball speeds when you have to pinch one from a tight fairway,” says Mizuno’s Chris Voshall.
The ST-Z 230 hybrid is available for right-handed golfers as a 2H (16°), 3H (19°), 4H (22°), and 5H (25°). Left-handers can get a 3H (19°) and 4H (22°).
Mizuno’s previous hybrid, the Mizuno CLK, was a solid but not standout performer in our hybrids test last year. It will be interesting to see if the ST-Z 230 offers enough improvement to secure a place among our pick of the best hybrid golf clubs.
