Do any of you have good/bad experience of the MP600 driver ?

I trialled an MP600 from a pro shop and could not hit it for toffee (over 3 rounds) it did'nt matter what configeration the slide weights were put in it still had me playing from the boondocks on the right of the course! the MX560 on the other hand is fab! been in the bag for 4 weeks now and have not regretted buying it once!

Also at £159 its almost half the cost of an MP600 a real bargain!

Got fitted for one back in January. It replaced a TM R7 425.

It may not be quite as long but it is more acurate so far. I tried a variety of shafts and eventually ended up with the right configuration according to the monitor results. Now that it's in use every week the results are coming along nicely. Very nice looking club, sits well behind the ball and isn't too loud when it strikes the ball. The face sits square and isn't closed which I don't like. You do need to be able to swing well and strike the ball well to get the best out of this, it is not as forgiving as the MX560 which I also looked at, but didn't like the look of it at address.

All in all I'm happy with it and it is doing well, but don't just rush out and buy one off the shelf withoput trying, I had a totally different shaft type and spes than I expected to get. If I'd bought off the shelf on an impulse buy, I wouldn't have bought the combination I have now.

Tin,I've had one in the bag for about three months now. Really pleased with the control and accuracy I'm getting from it.  The weights system takes some time to adjust properly to your swing, but seems to make a difference (If only in the mind !!) . Would certainly suggest you give this fine looking club a try .

Tin Cup - well worth a try and get fitted for it should you like it.

Reminds me of my well loved R510TP head which is a total classic.

I've been using one for a few months and found it to be a very good club. I agree with DCB in that I found it not as long as my previous driver (I've probably lost about 10yds), however, my accuracy with it has improved, I'm hitting more fairways than I used to so it has improved my game.

The weight system does take a bit of getting used to, but well worth experimenting with. I got a friend to change the settings from draw to fade without me knowing which was set. It does work, it won't cure a raging slice or hook but it will allow you to set up for a particular course.

Most importantly, don't just buy one off the shelf, go and get fitted properly, preferably at one of the Mizuno National Fitting Centres. I had a good idea what shaft I needed before I was fitted, what I ended up with was totally different and much better.

I've since compared my idea of the ideal fitting to what Mizuno recommended and there is quite a difference. I'm a big believer in having clubs properly fitted, even down to my putter. It really does (IMHO) make a difference.

I chose the MP 600 because I have a personal preference for Mizuno clubs, no doubt if I had been fitted properly for a Calaway, Taylor Made or whatever make I would have seen an improvement, in the end it's down to personal choice.

Whatever your choice, best of luck with it.

My mate has the MP600, he was forced to change due to his old driver being illegal and now he his hitting longer and straighter than ever! DOH He has had a mess around with the settings and has finally gone back to neutral (I believe). Unfortunately, I have only hit one shot with it so far as everytime we have played recently it has been in a comp, so I cannot comment on it personally but there is no way he would go back to his old driver (which he said he loved).
