What the brands claim Manufacturer claim

5 claims

Mizuno ST-G

  • Mizuno pitches the ST-G as a low-spin head whose weight track moves between ultra-low and mid-low spin.
  • Brand says the CORTECH Chamber and a new Beta Rich titanium face give faster, more consistent ball speed.

Mizuno JPX ONE

  • Mizuno says its NANOALLOY face loses less energy at impact, raising initial ball speed.
  • The brand says a redesigned CORTECH face works with the NANOALLOY face to enlarge the high-speed area.
  • Adjustable hosel and weighting are pitched as a way to tune launch, spin and look.

Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)

2 min read

Neither driver has a published launch price, length, lie or MOI, so this comparison runs on a handful of rows. Both come in right and left hand, and both have a hosel that adjusts ±2°.

The fact that changes anything is loft. Your ST-G came in 9.5° and 10.5°; the JPX ONE comes in 9°, 10.5° and 12°. If you want to go a step lower than 9.5°, or you'd like a 12° head rather than cranking the hosel up, the JPX ONE covers it.

Weighting is set up differently. The ST-G has weights on a track, which Mizuno pitched as moving the head between ultra-low and mid-low spin; the JPX ONE has movable weights instead. The ST-G is 440 cc; Mizuno doesn't publish the JPX ONE's head volume. Mizuno says the JPX ONE's NANOALLOY face loses less energy at impact and raises ball speed. That is the brand's claim, without a number we can set against the ST-G.

Our read: keep the ST-G unless you need the 9° or the 12°. If you do switch, check on a launch monitor whether the movable weights do what the track on your ST-G does for your spin.
