 Feidiad, yn ysgolafio, mae'n gai'r cyllid yma. Mae'n gyfnwyr yn ffordd. Mae'r parw deillod maesunau ST200. Mae'n argymell ar y dda, gallwn eich wneud. Ond mae'r parw deillod maesunau, mae'r phu yma yn ddau, mae'n ffordd. Mae yma yn dda – mae'n ddweud beth awbent a'r cysylltu. Ond boe'n gwirio, boe'n gwirio, yna'n eu mewn gwirio oherwydd, Let's get in some golf balls down here at Fogolfchester and see if this driver pitched in at 2.99 can mix it with the big boys. Right, so let's just talk about this price point for a little bit, because what is it that you want from a driver? Massive amounts of, that complains is the wrong word, but no one is liking this price points at the minute, this 450 sort of barometer or 400 plus let's say in terms of drivers. But there's been a couple of products that have come out of late a review, a Cleveland product last week that's in around the 270 mark. I'm going to be reviewing today the Cobra speed zone driver again 299 and we've got this driver that might be 349 actually the Cobra I'll check that before so don't quote me on that bit but this ST200 is quoted at 299 on the shelf and for me all those people who are complaining about the price of stuff then I think if this performs then it's a real answer to those problems let's forget those 450 plus drivers and let's have a look at some of these King Cobra's Cleveland's, Mizuno's surely it's a massive opportunity for them to pinch a bit of this driver market. First of all let's talk about its look shelf appeal wise I think it looks superb there's nothing to suggest is a cheap driver in terms of its looks it's still got a fantastic finish looks great underneath I think plenty of people will go to it I like the fact there's not a lot going on I'm not reviewing its sort of sister product but that idea of those two adjustable weights again it gets a little bit complicated for me but then you turn it over and it's got classic driver looks it's a high gloss finish it's got this sort of carbon underpin that looks really nice I haven't gone on a shaft yet so we'll talk about it at address very shortly but in terms of off the shelf profile of head absolute winner and that price drag as well I think it's going to attract plenty of attention this but it doesn't matter unless it performs well so this time we will get into some golf balls right first thing to note before we go any further I'm going to go with the old trusted 10 side blue it's nine and a half degree as a driver head and we're going to stick it on a sort of standard setting so that's the uh if I can find it where are you right let me get that sorted and uh we'll crack on I think that for me comments down below first of all how many of you are using first of all tried a mizuno driver how many of you would have got one in the bag how many have you tried the st 200 right that's killed a few seconds while I get sorted right we're good to go I'll hit some range balls to get started I've warmed up I'm good to go and I'll give you some feedback and then we'll get on to some seed golf balls some proper balls and we'll get some data collected right first opinions like I said let's have a look at address I mean it's it's really nice it's not going to go through all the claims in terms of what mizuno claim this driver will do but it's very much the sake because it's the same tale isn't it fast ball speeds the claiming low spinning and the claiming plenty of forgiveness so at address again go mat that position it's really nice I'd prefer if it didn't have the mizuno logo sat directly behind the ball it's a bit of an odd shape logo so not something that sits particularly sort of square on my eye so yeah i'm not overly keen on that but in terms of how the crown looks very much classic in its shape it's not too elongated it sits very nice indeed and a bit of a confidence inspirer right I won't talk about sound because like I said I'm going to use a use a range ball for this purpose it's a good start in terms of line and direction so we'll be happy with that if we go off sound off that and like I said it's always different in here it's always different using range balls so maybe I'll confirm that a bit later but I would certainly say again one thing that for me it's an important part is that they can be either really high pitched or very sort of dull and muted and to be fair it sits right in between I would say again from what I've tested of late it's it's got a lot of similarities both looks from above and sound and feel of what I just hit to the maverick range and that being a very much a positive as well just hit another ball and see what we can sort of well if straightness was a factor we'll forget I'll go and have a look at distance and all the rest of it very surely but we have a pylon in the distance which is the target line and believe me neither of them are too far off so that's an half decent start I think I will carry on eating some golf balls maybe get a breath in between we'll switch over then to some proper balls like I said collect some data when I've got that swing speed up and we'll sort of analyse the performance of this club but maybe have a look in terms of how it matches up from the clubs I've tested in recent weeks the likes of the maverick the likes of the sim let's have a look in terms of and get that sort of it's all about for me getting club head speed at similar to what we've done in previous tests and then maybe we can draw some parallels and see how this is performing in terms of ball speeds and then we'll look at dispersion as well right so as ever I'll try and keep this short and sweet and simple unfortunately I've not an opportunity to take this on the course this product which I always like to do and see how it does in terms of performance but for me what we've achieved so far is very easy and straightforward and one I can get to some results quite quickly so I'm going to throw you up what I got sort of five shots in that were similar in terms of club head speed you'll see an average of 94.7 with a ball speed of 145.3 spinning at two six now arguably the spin number across the board there you'll see hello an average of two six it did pop up a few times and arguably a little bit spinning in terms of where you'd want to be and will have some impacts in terms of that overall distance and what we look to achieve from the driver so getting this club a little bit more dialled in I'm sure we could tweak that number and bring it down and get some better performance out of it overall carry 235.6 I'm just having a look again just across the board there in terms of everything relative to club head speed and where they went up and when they went down it was simply down to what I achieved in terms of club head speed but again the good to go back to that ball speed very consistent across every shot and maintained a good ball speed I can't measure personally I don't measure where I've hit it on the club face itself I would guess that I'm spraying it around a little bit around that club face the sweet spot so the idea that ball speeds have been maintained across those five shots very very similar suggests to me it's got a bit of forgiveness in there certainly helping me out um 11.9 in terms of um in terms of launch angle it wasn't that highest it was quite again um the more penetrating type of ball flight I actually liked the ball flight and that 11.9 launch it certainly wasn't blooming up there and neither of that 80 peak height it wasn't either again probably on the lower end I would have suggested rather than higher um and yet that overall number well it's very much a a calculation number that's based on those other bits and carrying out at 260 230 odd whatever it was carry very similar to the numbers that I were of achieved and I think before we go any further the one bit I said I would do and I've forgotten about is we'll just have a little look back on last week's number which will mean we've got at the pause button here while I go and collect that data one second right I'm back I'm back with data let's throw these up for you Maverick and Sim from last week um slightly quicker in terms of swing speed club head speed to 96 and 95 so don't forget to bear that in mind a 146 148 club head speed 145 so yes it was quicker in terms of ball speed but there's a quicker average swing speed spin number higher with the Maverick similar in terms of the number on the Sim launch angle again they both launched higher with the Sim and the Maverick and a peak height was considerably different and I think that's pretty much fair to say to be honest here I did notice that surprised me a little bit but those other two products particularly that Maverick was absolutely ballooning the ball up there but don't forget there's adjustability in those club heads there's adjustability in terms of the loft being the main one that we could make some differences there and that changed things up if required then the overall assessment is very simple and you can probably work out for yourself at 299 mazun have got a proper driver on their hands here because it ticks the box in terms of looks it certainly matches up in terms of performance from drivers that are 100, 140, 150 quid more expensive so it's got to be one you've got to consider I think the issue will always be because last year's ST 100 wherever it was product was very very good I don't know their sales numbers but it tends to be for me irons mazuno do you think drivers in the same way I'm not so sure and that's the question that we can start answering in the comments below because if it was based on performance rather than perception absolutely superb ticks a lot of boxes the price one being absolutely massive anyway as ever that's me done it's simple and straightforward it's my honest assessment and I hope you enjoyed it keep on watching because I'm about to test another one of these that fits into that lower price category it's a cobra speed zone I'm late on the scene with this but I'm going to give it a go
