Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZfaq channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

Thanks for reviewing Rick. We’re at the point where the top drivers are all very close in performance. The gap between solid and incredible will be the fitting. Keith Mitchell lead the PGA Tour driving stats in 2023 with the ST-Z and Grayson Murray lead shots gained from the tee when winning the Sony Open earlier this season with the ST-X. Add Marco Penge winning the Challenge Tour rankings and George Bloor the Clutch - and can see that these drivers are performing at the top level. Shaft aside, there’s both an X head which some players find quicker and the MAX which is the most forgiving. Come down and see us at the Tour Studio / Bearwood Lakes and we’ll find you a driver to make a more conclusive judgement.

These "reviews" are getting more ridiculous by the video. Choosing one head and one shaft and making a determination about the entire brand's catalog is just a ridiculous way to be doing things. Let alone to a channel of over a quarter million subs, and however many other of his primary channel viewers will see this. All it means is this combo didn't work for him on this particular day, and he does nothing to try and make it better.

Rick, Guy, and H.I.T. production team, please read @mitchschwartz71’s comments and address the shortfall in what you are putting out there or did with this Mizuno ‘one only’ driver from the series studio trial. You should be (and have to be) better and more diligent than that!!

Rick, I think the Green Smoke shaft is a heavy stiff shaft for a consistent 115 - 120 + swing speed. I play that head with Smoke counter balanced shaft and it's an amazing combo. Like you the Green Smoke shaft just made the club feel off a bit, and my club head speed was down over 3mph with that shaft. I think if you had a different shaft perhaps a little less tip stiff you would crush that driver head. Love the channel keep up the great content!

The smoke green is the stiffest of stiff in the smoke family. Black is firm tip for fast tempo, yellow is same but counterweighted, blue is softer for a smoother tempo swing, green is stiff everywhere, ultimate grip n rip shaft - that's why they call it Hulk.

Been playing the mizuno drivers for a few years and they truly have always felt and sounded the best. Might be 5-10 yds short of the latest from the big 3-4, but they're as consistent and arguably easier to hit for me than anything but the Ping, and the Ping sound just doesn't do it for me. Excited to see how they continue to improve over the next few years

Thanks - the yardage thing is a bit of hangover from prior years. Go a little further back and the Mizuno 300S was the longest driver on tour by some distance……doesn’t mean we keep the title forever. Needs to be re-earned every season. The ST-G and ST-X are very very quick as you can see from Marco Penge’s current stats. The MAX more about stability (can still be the longest for the right player). The ST-Z in this test is more for players who want to avoid the left miss. Thanks again for seeing past the nonsense.

Got fitted last year and ended up with this exact driver after no expectations and no brand bias. I tried everything. My swing plain is a little flat, and this driver offer me the most forgiveness on toe or heal strikes. If you want to get what’s best for you, you basically have to get fitted. I never would have expected this driver had I not been fitted and seen the numbers. I’d played Taylormades my whole life until now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just did this with 12 Titleist Pro V1x and 12 Taylormade TP5x (24). The Pro v 1s were all very good floating at a different point every time. The TP5X all floated on the same spot every time and righted very rapidly. Have you seen Brysons caddy. He adds a tiny bit of lead tape to your green spot. If it makes the spot sink the ball is good. If it’s still the light spot the ball goes in the bin. Then the putting line is drawn through the light spot.

I think mizunos comment tastefully summed it up. With how educational KZfaq is now the audience is clued up and know that was an off the shelf driver with no fitting, using a shaft you never normally play and probably a swing weight you may not like.

I heard that st-z is not forgiving especially hitting at the heel. A new model from Mizuno "ST-Max" will be the most forgiving one. I hope that you can try them!

Hi rick I've noticed you're wearing GX gloves. What do you reckon of them ? I think they are brilliant for the price

I had the ST Z 230, it was a lovely looking driver and very straight, but I just didn’t enjoy the feel or sound. I’m now in a TR2 and love it 🔥

Big issue (and I hate to use it as an excuse), but I think a shaft change would’ve been the play. Maybe worth a shot? Also, try the stg440. Absolute BOMBER

I really like the looks of the mizuno drivers, just have yet to get along with one, I’m actually gaming a ten year old Big Bertha Alpha driver over new drivers at the moment

I actually use a Mizuno driver not because of performance or anything. It’s because of the face for some reason for me the surface area of the face feels way bigger to me on the Mizuno driver then the other drivers so it makes me feel like if I sky the ball I’m not gonna shatter the crown.

IIRC, Mizuno driver shafts standard are only 45 inches-- so it may not fly as far, but you may have better dispersion.

Id like to see you go back and hit like a Callaway rouge max ls again now you have been driver training .

Want u to do the Mizuno G driver as well very different style

You need to take a leaf out Petes book and use the same shaft in every review/comparison. Otherwise it's comparing apple's and oranges!

I don't think this works either. Every head shaft combo is different. What they can do is hit with an ok shaft and give their general impression. But they shouldn't judge the driver based on how good it performs specifically for them.

Yeah I agree completely. They aren’t marketing like crazy to build hype like Taylormade or Callaway but they’re also middle of the pack in most categories.
