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.
A note on this hub: the JPX ONE has a review. Older models below are marked "coming soon." Mizuno's earlier driver years are thinly documented, so treat them as an outline rather than a complete record.

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.
