Practically, 45 positions all but guarantee the player will be able to choose a ball flight (both vertically and horizontally) that suits the player. Unlike TaylorMade’s drivers, you can’t lose the weights and you can’t accidentally goof up the swingweight. The driver contains two eight-gram weights in a “track” – the weights can be loosened with the included screw, slid to their desired position, and tightened in place. While the MP-600 offered 15 weight configurations, the MP-630 triples that number and allows for 45 different weight configurations.
Mizuno first introduced adjustable weight technology in their MP-600 driver ( reviewed here), and the technology has come a long way since the MP-600’s release. Read on as we shed a little light on Mizuno’s under-appreciated driver. Unfortunately, their stellar irons overshadow an impressive woods/metals lineup, the best of which may very well be the MP-630 Fast Track driver. As popular as Mizuno is for their irons, they’re at least as unpopular for their hybrids, fairway woods, and drivers. If this typical golfer kept thinking, they might never arrive at “drivers,” let alone drivers with adjustable weights. When you say the name “Mizuno” to the typical golfer, they first think of one thing – forged irons, often a muscleback or blade type material.
