Mizuno MP-600 Driver

Golf Monthly Verdict

The MP-600 has definitely been worth the wait. It set up well to the ball, delivered a satisfying ooomph at impact and produced a hang-time that had me scurrying off to my current driver for a direct flight comparison. A real return to form for Mizuno in the driver stakes. Where next? More On Test: - Mizuno MX-560 driver review - Mizuno MX-200 and MX-100 irons review Galleries: - Mizuno-MX-950 Blended Set pictures

The MP-600 is a 460cc driver targeted at better players. It provides a classic address look plus the scope to tweak ball flight via its Fast Track weight system. An ultra-thin titanium crown ensures plenty of weight low and deep in the head for forgiveness, but if maximum forgiveness is your most pressing requirement you may be better off with the MX-560.
