Mizuno Golf has today unveiled its new ST-X 220 fairway woods and hybrids, which will arrive at retail on February 3rd.

ST-X 220 fairway woods

Engineered to produce a higher, draw-biased flight, the ST-X 220 fairway woods feature deep internal weighting and are designed for those with moderate swing speeds who need elevated launch to achieve their optimal distance and controlled landing angles.

3-wood

The ST-X 220 3-wood features a full Ti construction with a high ball speed SAT2041 Beta face – as featured in Mizuno’s drivers, combined with a Ti811 body.

Per Mizuno, the combination has helped its engineers to create a 3-wood that produces the highest ever ball speeds from a Mizuno fairway wood.

With Maraging MAS1C steel face, the 5 and 7 wood are significantly more compact than the 3 wood for optimal use from the fairways.

Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Research has built sound into the design, delivering vibration patterns elite players associate with a ‘solid’ feel. In addition, the Optimized Wave Sole is a fairway-specific design to help create higher ball speeds from low on the face – suited to strikes directly from the turf.

“There are a lot of forgiving looking fairways woods that don’t launch high enough for the average amateur. Size and footprint is only one part of the equation – most of us need a little more spin and elevation to carry the ball to our full capability. The ST-X is designed to solve that issue.” – Mizuno’s Director of Product Chris Voshall

Specs & Price

Lofts: Right hand only – 3 wood (16), 5 wood (18.5), 7 wood (21.5) degrees
Price: $299.95

ST-X 220 hybrids

Engineered to produce a higher, draw-biased flight, the ST-X hybrids are aimed at moderate swing speed players.

Mizuno’s X-Axis design features an ultra-light waffle crown, with deep internal weighting to encourage a high draw-biased flight, while at 1.8mm, the high-speed MAS1C face is Mizuno’s thinnest hybrid face to date, and it is designed to produce the highest recorded ball speeds from center strikes (compared to previous ST-X and CLK).

In addition, as with the fairway woods, Harmonic Impact Research has built sound into the design while an Optimized Wave Sole is featured in a hybrid-specific design that helps create higher ball speeds from low on the face – suited to strikes directly from the turf.

“The ST-X is a great hybrid option for players with moderate ball speeds. With the new thinner face and internal weighting, it’s a nice alternative that will suit a lot of amateur golfers.” – Chris Voshall

Specs & Price

Lofts: Right hand only – 4H (20), 5H (23) and 6H (26) degrees.
Price: $224.85

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
