Turned down to 17, it’s 3w long for me. And I hit 3w well off the deck.I think I need to try the 5 wood soon.

Vosh and Jay Smiff just did a Mizuno Live where they talked a lot about the Max at the start.I’m watching for the ST Max Driver due to release in February.
It’s supposed to be at the PGAS.

@Vosh68 has me very interested but he could sell me on ice in the middle of Ohio winter TBH.
Which shaft (s) have you had in your ST-G Ti 3-wood?I am so glad that I tried a different shaft in it before deciding that it wasn’t a club for me. we often hear the advice that when you find a great 3 wood, hang onto it.
I started with the stock Kai’li Blue 70. I just couldn’t deliver the head consistently. I don’t know why, but those Kai’li shafts don’t fit me. I threw in a Graphite Design AD HD 60S and it became a completely different club.Which shaft (s) have you had in your ST-G Ti 3-wood?
Consider that the smaller head size and shorter shaft of a 3-wood tends to promote better rhythm and tempo swings than does a large head longer shafted driver.FW for me has never been an off the tee option, as I have always tried to have faith in my driver to get me in the fairway or to bomb and gouge the course. I think I'm going to try to change that mindset this year- and remove the 2nd driver from the repertoire.
Very very valid points- I'm one who plays two drivers though, my ST-G is the short one playing just slightly longer than a standard 3W, and then my ST-Z plays at the standard length. For me, I'm debating dropping the STZ from the bag entirely just based on how well the STG has performed.Consider that the smaller head size and shorter shaft of a 3-wood tends to promote better rhythm and tempo swings than does a large head longer shafted driver.
I am not suggesting abandoning the driver is a good idea, but for some players swinging driver only 5 or 6 times per round (instead of from 14 tee boxes ) does help the swing tempo for all the clubs within the bag.
Which ST-G driver model do you play? I made a few swings with the ST-G 220 and could not get the ball to carry far enough, so I continue to play my ST-Z 10.5* driver.Very very valid points- I'm one who plays two drivers though, my ST-G is the short one playing just slightly longer than a standard 3W, and then my ST-Z plays at the standard length.

My guess is that the ST-G 5-wood from ground lies will produce awesome distance shots.This 5W vs DARKSPEED 5W is on my mind.

Eventually I will get around to trying an ST-X driver or maybe the forthcoming ST MAX, to learn how those models compare to the ST-Z.
I thought the ST-G drivers went from ST-G 220 to ST-G 440 and don't remember an ST-G 230 model.STG-230 that I received at the Victory Cup last year. However I played the ST-Z 230 all '23 in the lead up

I really see the merit in a two driver setup and everyone’s swing is different. For me, though, a couple of these 3 woods are so hot off the face, they almost act as that second driver in the bag. I get that a driver head is so much bigger and has higher MOI, but when set up correctly, I have found the ST-G to be very easy to hit. The added bonus of having another good option off of the turf is huge.Very very valid points- I'm one who plays two drivers though, my ST-G is the short one playing just slightly longer than a standard 3W, and then my ST-Z plays at the standard length.

I haven’t looked into the DARKSPEED fairways, because I love what I have and my eye isn’t wandering, but if the ST-G 5 is anything like the 3 has been for me, it would be a fun shootout.This 5W vs DARKSPEED 5W is on my mind.
I think they would both be a blast for sure.I haven’t looked into the DARKSPEED fairways, because I love what I have and my eye isn’t wandering, but if the ST-G 5 is anything like the 3 has been for me, it would be a fun shootout.
Got it! I've only swung the ST-G220 and am hoping for some direct-comparison review of the ST-G 220 vs ST-G 440. My guess is that they are similar, both designed for high swing speed players who want a driver which produces lower trajectory shots than the ST-Z or ST-X models. But I could be wrong, maybe the higher loft option of the 440 G model makes it a very different club compared to the 220 G model?
Apologies may not be named 230, but it's the '23 version
