The Mizuno ST-Z 230 is the low-spin, neutral-flight option in the ST-230 family, targeting players who want a penetrating trajectory with reduced spin. A center-of-face-focused CG and slightly more compact profile deliver consistent distance with workability. This driver appeals to golfers who appreciate Mizuno's craftsmanship and want a strong-performing driver at a price below the premium tier.
