Mizuno's reputation is built almost entirely on irons. Forged feel is the brand's whole identity. Drivers have always been a smaller part of the lineup, which shows in how much less documented the history is compared to Titleist, TaylorMade, or Callaway. That said, Mizuno drivers have quietly built a loyal following in club-fitting circles, especially the JPX line.
Two notes on this hub: we don't have individual Mizuno driver reviews published yet, so every link below is marked "coming soon." And Mizuno's driver history, unlike the other four brand hubs, is genuinely thinly documented across the wider web, not just on our site; treat the earlier years here as a reasonable outline rather than an exhaustive record.
| Year | Series | Models | Key Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1998 | T-Zoid | T-Zoid T3 Titanium | Mizuno's move into all-titanium driver construction |
| 2003 | MP | MP-001 | Mizuno's iron-making forging expertise applied to a driver head |
| 2013 | JPX | JPX-EZ | Easy-launch, forgiveness-first positioning |
| 2016 | JPX | JPX 900 | First Mizuno driver to gain serious traction in club-fitting circles |
| 2018 | ST | ST180, GT180 | New "ST" (Stability Tuned) naming begins |
| 2020 | ST | ST200, ST200G, ST200X | Three-way player-type split |
| 2022 | ST | ST-Z 220, ST-X 220, ST-G | Refined face and CG construction |
| 2026 | JPX ONE | JPX ONE, JPX ONE Select | Current flagship, after reportedly skipping 2025 for a multi-year development cycle |
The Early Titanium Era (1998–2003)
1998: T-Zoid T3 Titanium
Mizuno's entry into all-titanium driver construction, following the same industry-wide steel-to-titanium shift most manufacturers made in the late 1990s.
2003: MP-001
A driver built with the same precision-forging philosophy Mizuno had already established with its MP iron line, a distinct approach from the cast, multi-material construction most competitors were using.
The JPX Era Begins (2013–2018)
2013: JPX-EZ
An easy-launch, forgiveness-first driver aimed at a broader range of swing speeds than Mizuno's typically better-player-focused equipment.
2016: JPX 900
The first Mizuno driver to gain real traction with independent club fitters, a turning point in Mizuno being taken seriously as a driver brand, not just an iron specialist.
2018: ST180 / GT180
A new "ST" (Stability Tuned) naming convention replaced JPX for the driver line, a naming split Mizuno still uses today to separate drivers from irons.
Modern ST-Series to JPX ONE (2020–2026)
2020: ST200 / ST200G / ST200X
A three-way split by player type (standard, draw-biased "G," and low-spin "X") mirroring the segmentation approach Cobra and Ping use.
2022: ST-Z 220 / ST-X 220 / ST-G
Refined face and center-of-gravity construction across the same three-way player split.
2026: JPX ONE / JPX ONE Select New
Mizuno's current flagship, reportedly following a year with no major release (2025) while the JPX ONE went through an extended, multi-year development cycle. Rated well for forgiveness and feel in early 2026 testing.
