How are HIKSTIK’s vintage wood lacrosse shafts bringing new life to classic heads. What makes these custom-crafted shafts unique for collectors and players. Why is the father-daughter team at HIKSTIK passionate about preserving lacrosse history.
The Birth of HIKSTIK’s Vintage Wood Shaft Project
HIKSTIK, a Texas-based producer of high-quality wood lacrosse shafts, has recently unveiled an innovative product that’s capturing the attention of stick collectors and lacrosse enthusiasts alike. The father-daughter team of Terry and Rachel McCarthy, who run HIKSTIK, have developed “new” vintage wood shafts specifically designed to fit plastic lacrosse heads from the 1970s and 1980s.
This project arose from a growing demand among collectors looking to restore and complete their vintage lacrosse sticks. Finding original wood shafts in good condition for these classic heads has become increasingly difficult. Recognizing this need, HIKSTIK set out to create a solution that would breathe new life into these cherished pieces of lacrosse history.
The Challenge of Vintage Head Compatibility
One of the main hurdles HIKSTIK faced was the lack of uniformity in vintage lacrosse head designs. Terry McCarthy explains, “We quickly found that the round throats did not have uniform dimensions, even within the same brand. They vary in diameter and in depth.” This variability meant that creating a one-size-fits-all solution was not possible.
Crafting the Perfect Fit: HIKSTIK’s Innovative Approach
To overcome the challenges presented by vintage head designs, HIKSTIK developed a two-pronged approach:
- Creating a repeatable, high-quality production process
- Building a comprehensive database of throat measurements for vintage heads
After experimenting with various tools and techniques, the company invested in a long beam wood lathe and sought expert guidance to perfect their craft. This dedication to quality ensures that each shaft is tailored to fit specific vintage head models with precision.
Wood Selection and Craftsmanship
HIKSTIK’s vintage shafts are crafted from a variety of premium woods, including:
- Hickory
- Oak
- Purpleheart (for tri-laminate options)
The company’s commitment to quality extends beyond just fit. Each shaft receives the same meticulous attention to detail as their standard wood shafts, ensuring a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Reviving Lacrosse History: The Collector’s Perspective
For lacrosse stick collectors, HIKSTIK’s vintage wood shafts offer a unique opportunity to complete and restore classic sticks. By combining these custom-crafted shafts with vintage heads, collectors can create stunning pieces that showcase the sport’s rich history.
How does this revival impact the lacrosse collecting community? It allows enthusiasts to:
- Preserve and display vintage heads that might otherwise remain incomplete
- Experience the feel and aesthetics of classic lacrosse sticks
- Create one-of-a-kind pieces that blend historical design with modern craftsmanship
The Anatomy of a Vintage Lacrosse Head: Understanding the Nuances
To fully appreciate the complexity of HIKSTIK’s vintage shaft project, it’s essential to understand the unique features of classic lacrosse heads. What makes these vintage designs so challenging to replicate?
Beveled Throats and Variable Dimensions
Vintage lacrosse heads, such as the STX 73 and STX Sam models, feature beveled throats that connect to the shaft. These throats vary not only between brands but also within the same model line. The subtle differences in diameter and depth require precise measurements and custom fitting for each shaft.
Material Considerations
The plastic used in vintage heads may have undergone slight changes over time due to age and use. This factor adds another layer of complexity to the fitting process, as HIKSTIK must account for potential material variations when crafting their shafts.
The Art of Stringing: Completing the Vintage Stick
While HIKSTIK’s focus is on creating the perfect shaft, the company recognizes the importance of proper stringing to complete the vintage stick experience. For their showcase pieces, HIKSTIK enlisted the expertise of Erik Lemelbaum from Lacrosse Unlimited, renowned for his exceptional stringing skills.
How does professional stringing enhance the overall quality of a vintage lacrosse stick?
- It ensures the pocket complements the head’s design and era
- Proper stringing can affect the stick’s performance and feel
- It adds authenticity to the restored piece
Beyond Vintage: HIKSTIK’s Customization Options
While the vintage shaft project has garnered significant attention, HIKSTIK continues to offer a wide range of options for modern players and collectors. What additional features set HIKSTIK’s products apart?
Custom Engraving
HIKSTIK provides custom engraving services for their wood shafts, allowing players and collectors to personalize their sticks with names, numbers, or special messages. This feature adds a unique touch to both vintage and modern lacrosse sticks.
Wood Variety and Finishes
In addition to the woods used for vintage shafts, HIKSTIK offers a diverse selection of wood types, colors, and finishes for their standard shafts. This variety allows players to choose a shaft that not only performs well but also reflects their personal style.
The Future of Wood Lacrosse Shafts: Blending Tradition with Innovation
As HIKSTIK continues to refine their vintage shaft production and expand their offerings, what does the future hold for wood lacrosse shafts in a market dominated by modern materials?
Embracing Heritage
The growing interest in vintage lacrosse equipment suggests a renewed appreciation for the sport’s roots. Wood shafts, both vintage and modern, offer players and collectors a tangible connection to lacrosse history.
Performance Considerations
While metal and composite shafts dominate competitive play, wood shafts continue to offer unique performance characteristics. The natural flex and feel of wood appeal to players looking for a more traditional lacrosse experience.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness
As environmental concerns become increasingly important, wood shafts may see a resurgence due to their renewable nature and biodegradability compared to synthetic materials.
Preserving Lacrosse Legacy: The Importance of Vintage Equipment
HIKSTIK’s vintage wood shaft project is more than just a niche product for collectors. It represents a broader effort to preserve and celebrate lacrosse’s rich history. Why is this preservation important for the sport?
Educational Value
Vintage equipment provides tangible examples of how lacrosse technology has evolved over time. This can be invaluable for educating new players and fans about the sport’s history.
Cultural Significance
For many Indigenous communities, lacrosse holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. Preserving vintage equipment helps maintain connections to these traditional aspects of the game.
Inspiration for Innovation
By studying and recreating vintage designs, manufacturers like HIKSTIK can gain insights that may inform future innovations in lacrosse equipment.
HIKSTIK’s dedication to crafting high-quality wood lacrosse shafts, both vintage and modern, demonstrates the enduring appeal of traditional materials in a sport that continues to evolve. Their vintage wood shaft project not only serves the collector community but also plays a crucial role in preserving lacrosse history for future generations. As the sport continues to grow and change, companies like HIKSTIK ensure that the roots of lacrosse remain alive and accessible to players and enthusiasts around the world.
HIKSTIK’s ‘New’ Vintage Wood Shafts
We introduced you to HIKSTIK a while back, the Texas-based producer of some of the finest wood lacrosse shafts we’ve come across, with a great background story, too. But the company just recently showed us something really, really cool.
HIKSTIK, run by the father-daughter team of Terry and Rachel McCarthy, returns with a unique product that is sure to resonate with the growing number of stick collectors out there. It’s the company’s “new” vintage wood shafts, which are custom created to fit vintage plastic lacrosse heads from the 1970s and 1980s.
You’ll have a tough time finding vintage shafts in decent shape that could be used with those old vintage heads you have sitting around. But the good people at HIKSTIK have been working on this project for some time and have the process now nailed down.
“With interest from individuals who wanted to replace the wood shaft for their vintage 1970’s, 1980’s plastic heads, we sought to deliver a product that would work on those older round-throated heads,” Tery says. “We quickly found that the round throats did not have uniform dimensions, even within the same brand. They vary in diameter and in depth.”
You can see examples of the throats Terry refers to below.
“Our problem was two-fold: to create a quality process that we could repeat over and over, and to create a database of the throat measurements of vintage heads. We tried a variety of tools and techniques without much luck and finally decided to make an investment in a long beam wood lathe and some turning lessons from a local expert. We worked on our hickory, oak and even purpleheart tri-lam shafts to perfect our technique so we could deliver a high quality product to our retro customers. We’ve expanded our database and have accurate measurements for most (but not all) vintage heads. We do have a few contacts out there who are collectors who have given us a great deal of help and have essentially helped launched our ‘new’ vintage wood shaft product.
“
To complete the sticks, we had the two heads we’ve put on two of the shaft — an old-school STX 73 and an STX Sam — strung by Erik Lemelbaum of Lacrosse Unlimited, one of the best stringers around. Together with HIKSTIK’s custom wood shafts, these are now gorgeous pieces of lacrosse history.
For more information on HIKSTIK and to place orders, visit the company’s website.
The bevelled throats of some vintage lacrosse sticks call for a unique fit, which is what HIKSTIK has learned a great deal about. From left to right, two ash shafts, two hickory shafts and a purpleheart/oak tri-laminate.
Each of these custom crafted shafts is the same high quality work that HIKSTIK produces for its normal wood shafts, which come in a range of wood types, colors and finishes.
An STX 73, the same model we sent to HIKSTIK. However, these older sticks had very minor differences in the way the shafts fit.
Here’s that same connection point on an old STX Sam. We sent one of these to HIKSTIK to get a ‘new’ vintage shaft.
The STX 73 (left) and the STX Sam (right) that we sent to HIKSTIK to have shafts custom created for a perfect fit. The heads were then strung by Erik Lemelbaum, making for a couple nice collectors pieces.
A closer look at the throat of the STX 73.

Moving Mizuno woods forward – GolfWRX
Since 2019 and the launch of the ST190 series, Mizuno has quickly changed the perception around its metal woods. With the new ST-X and ST-Z drivers, along with the new ST-Z fairway woods for 2021, it is once again proving Mizuno isn’t just an iron company anymore.
The ST-X and ST-Z drivers represent the next evolution for Mizuno and are a culmination of a focused team effort to prove that, when side by side with the industry leaders, Mizuno drivers can both compete and win the battle of ball speed, spin, and dispersion.
A global effort to produce better (The “how’d we get here?”)
As a global brand, Mizuno used to have a small issue with market segmentation when it came to its club releases, meaning that depending on where you were in the world, there were different metal wood sub-brands to cater to various consumers.
This worked OK for the individual markets, but overall, it wasn’t working worldwide for one simple reason—more designs meant Mizuno engineers had to stretch their biggest resource, time, thinner. It also didn’t create a lot of continuity in the products, which from a consumer-level, always made it feel like Mizuno’s approach was just “let’s give this a try!”, and it really wasn’t working.
This brings us to the “New Mizuno.” Since the original ST190 series was released in 2019 (don’t forget development started long before the release date), Mizuno has had a fully dedicated team in place working on metal wood development and technology. This has allowed engineers to work tirelessly on creating drivers that win on both a technology front as well and where it matters most: in fittings and on the course where golfers care about performance.
The technology inside the 2021 Mizuno ST-Z and ST-X drivers
- SAT2041 beta-titanium faces: This titanium material is not new to the world of aerospace engineering, but as golf clubs are concerned, it had mostly been found previously in high-end JDM (Japanese domestic Market) drivers because of cost but was first used last year in the ST200 series drivers.
SAT2041 has higher strength and rebound properties allowing Mizuno engineers to improve the multi-thickness areas behind the face for higher ball speed, and save mass to reposition around the head.
SAT2041 has higher strength and rebound properties allowing Mizuno engineers to improve the multi-thickness areas behind the face for higher ball speed, and save mass to reposition around the head.- New CorTech face design: Now, speaking to the faces, thanks in part to the material and Mizuno engineers’ ability to tweak and adjust based on continuous R&D, the faces of the ST-Z and ST-X drivers have been made thinner in certain areas to further optimize CT and COR, which contributes to more consistent ball speeds and additional discretionary mass.
- Using discretionary mass differently: A few grams here or there mean a lot in the golf club design world, especially when it comes to drivers. Mizuno shaved mass around the head to boost MOI in both of the new drivers and create performance separation in how they will work best for the intended players. Both of the new drivers have a carbon crown and also feature carbon panels around the sole skirt to help precisely locate the center of gravity.
Meet the 2021 Mizuno drivers
Mizuno ST-Z driver
The ST-Z replaces the ST200 and has been designed to offer the highest MOI possible without sacrificing lower spin—this driver is all about stability. Mass saved around the head, thanks to the carbon panels, along with the better-optimized face has allowed the designers to position the CG as close as possible to the neutral axis, to raise MOI, and create a neutrally biased driver.
Compared to the ST-X, the Z is longer heel to toe and slightly shallower to once again use any and all available options to maximize performance and playability.
Mizuno ST-X driver
Although the new STX driver shares a similar name to the previous ST200X designed to be an exclusively lighter weight draw-biased driver, the new STx is for any golfer seeking slightly more spin compared to the STz and also greater workability, thanks to a center of gravity positioned slightly more forward and closer to the shaft.
- STz Driver face height
- STx Driver face height
From the bottom, the easy way to separate the ST-X from the Z is the reduced amount of carbon on the sole and slightly more heel-biased back weight to aid the engineers in repositioning the CG.
The ST-X’s slightly deeper face and shorter heel-to-toe length help to make the driver ever so slightly more draw-biased than the ST-Z but also happens to make the driver more workable.
For those still in need of a premium lightweight option, the new ST-X has the ability to be built to a lighter and longer spec similar to the ST200X thanks to the adjustable weight in the sole, which goes from a stock 11-gram weight to just four grams when built to J-Spec. This brings the head weight to 194 grams vs. 201 grams in the standard ST-X configuration and 204 in the ST-Z. When matched with the M-Fusion shaft, you get a driver that competes against any other in the ultra-lightweight category.
2021 Mizuno STX and STZ drivers prices, specs, and availability
The ST-X and ST-Z stock shaft options are directly driven from popular profiles on tour and feature a familiar story of high, mid, and low launch. The drivers will also carry a fourth shaft option, which is a carryover from the previous ST200X.
High Launch – Project X Riptide CB 50g and 60g
Mid Launch – Fujikura MotoreX F3 60g
Low Launch – ProjectX HZRDUS RDX Smoke Black 60g
High Launch and ultra-lightweight – M-Fusion
Mizuno will also continue to offer upcharge shafts options including:
- Tensei CK Pro Orange and White 60 and 70g
- Fujikura Ventus Blue and Black 60 and 70g
- Graphite Design Tour AD Di6 & 7 along with XC6 & 7
STX and STZ drivers will be priced at – $399.99
The Mizuno STX and Z driver’s pre-sale starts today January 25th, with products on retail shelves starting February 18.
Mizuno ST-Z fairway woods
Technology and design
- 3rd gen MAS1C high strength steel face: Last year, with the ST200, Mizuno completely overhauled the internal structure of its fairway woods, and the ST-Z is the next evolution. Similar to the driver, engineers have improved the CorTech multi-thickness pads behind the hitting area to raise ball speeds while also improving sound and feel
- Carbon crown: When it works, it works, and the carbon steel crown of the ST-Z fairway woods reduces mass from higher in the head and gives the engineers the ability to better position it to deliver the performance variables they are searching for.
- New shaping: After all the material and sciencey stuff were figured out, the last part of the new fairway woods to consider was the shape. It seems simple, but the shape not only has a huge impact on the club’s physical performance, but it plays a major factor in how golfers perceive it in the address position. The leading edge and the hosel transition have been adjusted to appeal to the target players and make it more efficient from the turf, which is where most players will use their fairway woods the most.
Specs, prices, and availability
The ST-Z fairway woods will be available in the lofts of 15 and 18 degrees, and with Mizuno’s Quick Switch adjustability, the fairway woods can go up and down two additional degrees.
The stock shaft configurations for the ST-Z will be the Fujikura MotoreX 7 in stiff flex and the ProjectX RipTide CB in regular.
The ST-Z fairway woods are priced at $299.99 with pre-sale and fitting tools available starting today January 25th with the product on retail shelves on February 18.

Goin’ Ol’ Skool! – The Art of Lax Blog
My recent piece and blog post: “The making of Ol’ Skool” reminded me of a situation a few years ago to revisit and revive the days when shafts were either aluminum or wood, heads were not offset and REAL stringing was “traditional”.
Having such things today and going against the current trends sets the definition of “Going Old School”.
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
I was the assistant varsity coach of the Poly Prep School in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and we were in Orlando, Florida for pre-season training in the early-March days. Our hotel accommodation at The Disney Wide World of Sports complex, was one of many housing numerous high-school lacrosse programs in the country for the same reason, that the turnover of teams checking in and checking out was at a fast and steady pace. Due to that circumstance our rooms were not ready for us to settle in, thus we had some time on our hands. To make time pass, some kids “tossed the rock” in the parking lot, while others spent time listening to their iPods or did whatever their individual creativity opened up to.
A little over an hour went by and we received word that our rooms were finally ready to occupy. The players, along with their roommates rushed into their designated rooms, some of them bumping into the housekeeping staff that just finished their work. It was at that moment one of the staff got my fullest attention by asking me,
“Coach, does this belong to one of your players… I found it near the trash bins?”
Having no idea what she had found, she held in her hand an original, white, scuffed, scraped, unstrung, STX Excalibur head – one of the MOST popular and BEST lacrosse heads ever produced!
My response to her, “YES, it DOES!”
Who would’ve thrown such a thing away or leave it behind?
I decided to take it. By doing just that I gave it a new life but keeping the traditional, old school characteristics that I remember. The following series of photos portray the revival of the STX Excalibur “going old school”.

Mizuno STZ and STX Drivers
Mizuno irons have long been considered the game’s best and now Mizuno’s new ST range of drivers and fairway woods are set to join them in the same rarefied air.
The new clubs are the culmination of three years of development and refinement of Mizuno’s previous ST models – the ST190 and ST200 – and it has delivered performance gains that have made the wait well and truly worth it.
The Mizuno ST line-up extracts every last drop of ball speed, courtesy of a second generation titanium face, while impact sound and feel has been enhanced following input from Mizuno’s Tour players.
Get ready to experience the new Mizuno ST drivers and fairways in February 2021.
FACE VALUE
Mizuno’s second generation driver face, known as the SAT2041, might not have the sexiest name to ever grace a golf club but it is extremely efficient at doing its job: launching the golf ball high, long and straight off the tee.
For those interested, the name refers to the ingredients of the special blend of titanium alloy the face is modelled from:
Super Alloy Titanium, 20% Vanadium, 4% Aluminium, 1% Tin.
It’s a lightweight high-strength titanium alloy that is superior to the more commonly used 6-4 titanium and its qualities are perfect to craft the detailed face design that features in the new Mizuno ST X and ST Z drivers.
SOUND AND FEEL REVISED
Engineering a highly satisfying feel and sound into the new ST line-up was a priority for Mizuno after feedback from their Tour players.
It is a tedious task to tune the impact sound and feel in a golf club, two variables that are highly sensitive, but Mizuno cracked it through a combination of the new SAT2041 face and a revision of Mizuno’s Wave Sole design.
Mizuno describe the new feel and sound as a dense and solid sensation at impact but it really is best experienced in person, particularly after launching a new Mizuno ST driver high, long and straight.
TWO MIZUNO DRIVERS
The pair of unique head shapes in the ST line-up – the ST Z and ST X – meet the varying needs of golfers to a tee and provide different launch and ball flight options.
Both drivers feature Mizuno’s quick-change adjustable hosel that alters lofts over a four-degree range.
MIZUNO ST Z DRIVER
The Mizuno ST Z driver features a deep back weight on the sole that makes it ultra-stable and forgiving while offering low-spin rates that aid straight-as-an-arrow ball flights.
It’s suited for players with a higher swing speeds and has the wider footprint of the two new Mizuno drivers.
BUY Mizuno STZ Driver
MIZUNO ST X DRIVER
With a more compact shape and a draw-biased design via heel-side sole weighting and a carbon-fibre toe, the ST X driver has proved popular in testing among Mizuno’s Tour staff.
It has a more upright lie angle than the ST Z driver and it is a good choice for players with mid-to-low swing speeds, especially in a J-Spec configuration that includes a feather-light 39g MFUSION graphite shaft.

MIZUNO ST Z FAIRWAY WOOD
Mizuno know from experience among their Tour players that fairway woods are the least replaced clubs in a golfer’s bag.
Players have a habit of sticking with what they know works and it became a large factor in the creation of the new Mizuno ST Z fairway woods.
The ST Z fairway wood is traditional in shape but features subtle improvements to classic shaping, including noticeable enhancements in the transition points around the leading edge and hosel.
Available in 3 and 5 wood lofts, ST Z fairways are equipped with Mizuno’s third generation MAS1C face, with provides the perfect combination of low spin performance and stability – characteristics that are relatively rare in fairway woods.

Wooden Lacrosse Sticks Vs.
Carbon Vs. Titanium
The quality of your lacrosse stick depends a lot on the type of material used. Lacrosse sticks come in different materials such as metal, carbon fiber, and wood.
Every lacrosse player needs to select a lacrosse stick carefully by considering some essential factors.
Players at beginner and intermediate level need different kinds of lacrosse sticks. On the other hand, advanced players need to use lacrosse sticks made of different material.
Mostly advanced lacrosse players use lightweight sticks with a broadhead. Each type of stick comes with its advantages and disadvantages.However, the strength of the stick matters for ensuring its high durability.
Here in this guide, we have reviewed the best and top-rated lacrosse sticks of 2019:
Bamboo or Wooden Lacrosse Sticks
Wooden lacrosse sticks are successfully thriving in the market from a very long time. Wooden bats are great for playing lacrosse, and they bring outstanding results. However, wooden shafts are not perfect for offensive or attackman players.
Burd Wood Defense and Attack Shaft
Last update on 2021-04-06 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API
Burd lacrosse is well-recognized for offering high-quality wooden lacrosse sticks. A Burd wood defense or attack shaft is the best shaft that lacrosse players can buy at present. Moreover, the Burd lacrosse sticks come with one year warranty.
Pros
Long-Lasting – Wooden lacrosse sticks are highly durable and stay like new for many years to come.
Wooden shafts are stronger and offer excellent stability to the players.
Stronger Checks – Wooden sticks are highly preferred by the defender because they provide stronger checks.
Wooden lacrosse sticks are heavy, and that makes them perfect for making a harder check on attackman.
Intimidation Effect – Wooden lacrosse sticks gives players a very stylish and boss-like look.
Thus, if you want to make a style statement then choose wooden shaft. Plus, if you are going to command a game, then a wood stick will increase your effectiveness.
Cons
Grip – Wooden lacrosse sticks don’t possess the same grip qualities as traditional carbon fiber lacrosse shafts do.Having a firm grip is vital if you want to remain ahead.
The grip of wooden shafts is not as stronger and comfortable as traditional carbon fiber shafts.
Warping – Wood does not work well with water or moisture. Therefore, a wooden shaft will warp after getting in contact with water.
Heavy Weight – Wooden lacrosse shafts are quite heavy, and that makes them uncomfortable for the players. Heavyweight is a severe problem with the wooden shafts as not every player can play well with the heavy-weight shaft.
If you well-built, healthy body then you can go for wooden lacrosse. But wooden shafts are not flexible, and thus they are not for those who want more flexibility.
Carbon Fiber Lacrosse Shafts
The carbon fiber lacrosse shafts have become famous from the past few years. A large number of lacrosse players now use carbon fiber shafts. Plus, these shafts are very lightweight and thus highly used by attackman and offensive players. The best carbon fiber shaft is Dragonfly lacrosse shaft launched by Epoch.
Advanced engineering process made the Dragonfly shaft more durable and flexible. Plus, this shaft also offers excellent grip due to high-quality coating.

- The ST-Z is a low- to mid-spin driver with higher MOI.
- Retail price is $400.
With the launch of the Mizuno ST-X and ST-Z drivers, the company hopes to build on the momentum from its previous ST releases while making its case that it belongs in the conversation with the top-selling driver brands in golf.
New Rules
In past Mizuno stories, we’ve discussed how and why the company’s drivers disappeared from the PGA TOUR. When its competitors began buying Tour counts, notoriously frugal Mizuno grew comfortable with its Tour ambassadors not playing its drivers. The approach was to give its staffers plenty of time to work their way into Mizuno driver. More often than not, they never did and the company never said much about it.
For more than a decade, the count of Mizuno drivers in play on the Tour held steady at zero.
Over the past couple of seasons, things have changed. The company has rolled out a fresh approach—a new rulebook of sorts. Like many of its competitors, Mizuno has become increasingly rigid about staffers bagging its drivers. Potential new Tour signings are advised to be absolutely sure the driver is going to work.
As Tour player feedback has played a more significant role in designs like the ST-X and ST-Z, Mizuno’s Tour counts have ticked up, though admittedly “up” was the only mathematically viable option.
Along the way, you may have noticed that Mizuno has accelerated its design process.
Iteration is now on the clock with one year becoming the standard cycle for the once more conservative brand. Average golfers—at least those who pay attention—love longer cycles but for Mizuno the extra time became a liability. If a Tour player didn’t like the driver, Mizuno had to wait 1.5 years to try again.
Not exactly a recipe for Tour success. And so, one year removed from ST-200, here we are. The company believes enough advancements have been made that the time for talking is over. If you want to take that to mean that ST is short for Show Time, that’s reasonable enough.
Mizuno ST-X and ST-Z Drivers
Mizuno’s latest one-year-cycle drivers are the ST-X and the ST-Z. Some of you may immediately notice the absence of a low-spin, movable-weight ST-G. The G is sitting out this release cycle but that doesn’t mean it won’t be back.
The X and Z names speak to the distribution of mass within the clubhead. With the ST-X, mass is pushed along the X-axis towards the heel, providing draw bias.
With the ST-Z, mass is pushed along the Z-axis, low and towards the back of the club. The idea is to increase forgiveness while keeping spin under control.
Mizuno’s big picture goals for the ST-X and ST-Z were pretty straightforward: take what was good with the ST-200 and build on it. Evolve the technology, show gains and, while we’re at it, improve the looks, sound and feel of the drivers.
Here’s what Mizuno did in pursuit of those goals.
CORTECH Beta Titanium Face
2021 is shaping up to be the year of the driver face. That’s always true to some degree but this year, more than any other in recent memory, the face is the thing brands are pointing to as the source of speed.
In the case of the Mizuno ST-X and ST-Z drivers, the material itself hasn’t changed from the previous generation. Mizuno is still using Forged SAT 2041 Beta Titanium. Mizuno believes the material is superior to anything its competitors are using.
“Everybody has their material story that’s better than everything else,” says Mizuno’s Chris Voshall. “We have that and more.”
Voshall points specifically to Beta Titanium’s higher strain rate recovery and finer grain structure. The first means the material returns to its shape faster, promoting incremental ball speed gains. The second one means the material is less prone to fatigue which ultimately means greater durability and, more importantly, less CT creep (speed of the face increasing over time).
Mizuno did some reengineering of its driver face topology, strategically thinning an area in the lower portion of the face to boost speed on low face contact but, like most of its competitors, a portion of the speed story comes from tighter tolerances.
As Mizuno has become more familiar with SAT 2041, it has gained a better understanding of how far it can safely push its design targets while still providing consistent parts that conform to USGA rules. One of the easiest ways to gain ball speed is to design to raise your CT targets.
When you have your head fully wrapped around the capabilities of your face material, you can do exactly that.
WAVE Feature Optimization
A signature feature of its metalwoods for the past several generations, both the Mizuno ST-X and Mizuno ST-Z drivers feature a WAVE sole design.
The purpose of the Wave sole is to remove stress on the face by absorbing some of the deflection in the low area of the clubface. Functionally, it’s similar to TaylorMade’s Speed Pocket or Titleist’s Active Recoil Channel. Mizuno says that leads to a larger COR Area (the portion of the face that provides near-max ball speed).
CT Rib structures
I suppose you could say the CT rib structures connecting the top of the Mizuno ST-X and ST-Z driver faces are the top of the heads complement to the WAVE Sole. The features serve to expand the COR area and provide increased durability while ensuring the CT remains within legal limits.
With the three technologies (CORTECH face, WAVE sole and CT Ribs) found in the ST-X and ST-Z, Mizuno is trying to gain speed by taking advantage of the lack of absolute correlation between COR (the USGA’s old standard for governing driver speed) and CT (the current standard).
There’s near-universal agreement that, within that space, there is an opportunity to push speed beyond what the old rule would have allowed for while still remaining under the current limit.
We’re not talking huge gains but there is room for incremental improvement as materials evolve and manufacturing advances allow for more complex geometries to be produced.
Refined Aesthetics
Filed under “aesthetic refinements,” Mizuno has updated the look of its carbon fiber crown. While the entire crown is gloss black, a large portion of it features a visible carbon weave pattern. A broad leading edge surrounds the weave pattern.
The carbon fiber elements on the sole also show off the weave. It’s a small detail but, in one man’s opinion, it makes for a more refined and visually appealing design overall.
With the commonalities covered, let’s look at the individual model details.
ST-X Driver
The Mizuno ST-X is the company’s entry into the draw-bias space. Mizuno understands that draw bias isn’t for everyone (it’s part of the reason why it makes more than one driver) but it’s also hoping golfers will be open-minded about fitting.
The ST-200X got a fair amount of play among Mizuno’s female roster and there’s reason to believe average golfers could benefit as well. The company’s approach is to provide the draw bias many golfers need without trading away all of the forgiveness.
ST-X Driver – Not exclusively long and light
Where the Mizuno ST-X driver differs from the previous model is that it isn’t built to J Spec (Japanese Specification). Unless you want it to be, that is.
J Spec remains an option but it’s not the only option.
That speaks to Mizuno’s desire not to pigeonhole the ST-X driver as something exclusively for 70-year-olds.
This time around, the standard ST-X driver is 45 inches with an 11-gram weight screw and a total head weight of 204 grams.
The lightweight and long J Spec version is 45.75 inches with a four-gram weight screw and a total head weight of 194 grams.
Basically, the Mizuno ST-X driver is what you want it to be, which is how it should be.
The Mizuno ST-X driver is available in 10.5 and 12 degrees.
Stock shafts in the standard ST-X driver include the Fujikura Motore X F3 and the Project X EvenFlow Riptide CB (both “real-deal”). The stock shaft in the J Spec version of the ST-X is Mizuno’s M Fusion 40.
Mizuno ST-Z Driver
The Mizuno ST-Z driver is the company’s middle-of-the-market entry. It’s a higher MOI (forgiveness) head designed to produces low to mid spin by keeping the center of gravity close to the neutral axis.
The Mizuno ST-Z is described as offering forgiveness with low spin which is an increasingly common designation within the market place.
Mizuno says the ST-Z driver has a neutral bias (no predisposition to draws or fades). The weight screw is centrally located and instead of a single carbon-fiber sole piece like the one in the ST-X, the ST-Z driver offers two carbon-fiber sole plates balanced on either side of center.
The Mizuno ST-Z driver is available in 9.5 and 10.5 degrees. The 10.5 model is available in RH only. The stock length is 45 inches.
Pricing and Availability
The Mizuno ST-X and ST-Z drivers are $400. Retail availability begins Feb. 18. For more information, visit Mizunousa.com.

Name hidden, 10.
10.2019
Advantages: Oranzhevenky
Disadvantages: One continuous drawback
Commentary: All disadvantages in one case, the battery turns 20 minutes and charges at least an hour. Inside, everything wheezes, holds together and dangles, got rid of neg on fast. Before him, he really worked as a screwdriver, although he was old. changed to Bosch is also good!
Name hidden, 29.07.2019
Advantages: Impact, drills brick and concrete.
Disadvantages: too heavy, big cartridge, you can’t crawl everywhere.
Commentary: for two years without any reason the batteries died. the reason is not in the battery banks, but in the board … apparently they are chipped for a certain time.
Sergey K, 27.07.2019
Advantages: It fits perfectly in the hand, it is well balanced, there is no backlash (and in general the build quality is at a height), fast charging (1 h), two batteries. ) For that kind of money, he is also a shock!
Disadvantages: Not revealed yet!
Comment: I made a gypsum cardboard suspended ceiling at home, screwed screws (95×4 and 90×6) into the wooden ceiling, so they flew like a bullet!
30 Nm – doing their job! In short, I’m happy with the purchase! I took for 3070 rubles.When a week later I took another one (to a friend), the price was already 3420r.
Pavel I.
, 27.06.2019
Advantages: good moment, hands twisting
blocking of the shaft! a very good thing, the chuck can be held by hand, the bits and drills will not fall out.
durable case
Disadvantages: 1 ratchet is VERY oak (even at 1 position it does not work)
2 batteries are disgusting (they heat up after work and do not charge until they cool down, but cool down for a long time). the acc-ry itself is of a strange design … at the bottom of the ventilation hole, you can’t put it in dirt or dust.
4 a lot of wide holes in the case, I’m afraid nothing would get jammed, especially the brushes are very open.
5 ac-ry do not hold (maybe because of the purchase in the international magician. I was lying, the makitu took the same story)
Comment: when I liked it, and after the first day of work at the facility, I almost gave it to him.
for the house you can, for the pros NO!
Sergey S., 02.06.2019
Pros: Chuck locking is very good. The case is good, comfortable in the hand. The price for the drum is very reasonable.
Disadvantages: Well, let’s just say – the ratchet is not very good.
Comment: At home, in the country, in the garage, an irreplaceable thing. Certainly not for professional use, but for household use.
Igor B., 03/13/2019
Pluses: 1) Good build,
2) motor stopper (it is convenient to clamp bits and drills,
3) chuck with a lock (bits and drills do not fall out)
4) the speeds switch well (there was DeWalt – there the speeds switch very hard)
Disadvantages: The ratchet does not work at all when twisting 25 screws in the GKL.
It began to crack when the 50s were screwed into wood and euro screws when assembling furniture
Comment: For assembling furniture and other installation work – suitable, for assembling drywall structures – I DO NOT ADVISE
Pavel S., 18.01.2019
Pluses: Powerful, hollows like a hammer drill (the function really works).handy case, famous brand.
Disadvantages: – after half a year, one battery died, while during these half a year I used the shura only three times, four times for little things in everyday life. The service said. not a warranty case, although it did not dip into any liquids, nor did it fall from anywhere. It is expensive to buy a new battery.
