The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

Mizuno has created a fairway wood that performs very well with all of its technology working together to bring distance and forgiveness. The visible technology of the carbon crown is stunning. The sole shows the very modern CoreTech and the rear sole weight is thoughtfully accented with a blue ring. Beyond aesthetics the technology in this club makes it one of the most stable fairway woods available. The sound is muted due to the carbon while being firm and not tinny.

While not as big a club head as other fairway woods it plays like a larger more forgiving one. At impact the feeling is solid, stable, and powerful. The face isn't bouncy and that promotes the strong impact feel. This seemed to launch very high while the ball still proceeds out far for distance. Some players may want a lower trajectory depending on their swings or playing environments. Yet this club is going to appeal to a large portion of amateur golfers looking for confidently consistent distance.

Ideal for
  • Best for players seeking point and shoot simplicity.
  • Best for players seeking forgiveness
  • Best for a wide range of players at different skill levels
Not ideal for
  • Not the lowest spinning
  • Not the lowest launch

The Mizuno ST-Z 230 Fairway Wood is a game-changing club that will take your golfing experience to the next level. With its innovative CORTECH Chamber technology, this fairway wood encases a 3-gram stainless steel weight with elastomeric TPU, which reduces stress on the clubface and creates an additional source of energy. This results in a more solid and powerful impact, while also reducing spin rates for greater accuracy. The Carbon Composite Crown ensures a low center of gravity and stability from off-center strikes, while the expanded front-to-back weighting provides consistent launch characteristics. The high-energy MAS1C steel face has been reworked with a new multi-thickness design made possible through the face support of Mizuno's CORTECH Chamber.

Key Features:

  • CORTECH Chamber technology encases a 3-gram stainless steel weight with elastomeric TPU for reduced stress on the clubface and increased energy transfer
  • Carbon Composite Crown ensures low center of gravity and stability from off-center strikes
  • Expanded front-to-back weighting provides consistent launch characteristics
  • High-energy MAS1C steel face has been reworked with new multi-thickness design for improved performance
  • Quick Switch Hosel Mechanism offers four degrees of adjustability for personalized customization

Kyle Emery tested this product
The Mizuno ST-Z 230 fairway wood is a great all-around performer that offers fantastic distances along with a good blend of forgiveness and consistency. New to the 230 line is the CORTECH Chamber that moves internal weighting forward to help increase ball speeds and lower spin rates. In testing, I could definitely notice how hot the ball was coming off... Read more

Aaron Rogers tested this product
This club is gorgeous. It comes with glossy black carbon crown frames. The clubhead is compact, but not too small. The forgiveness of this club is absolutely incredible, making even your mishits attractive. This wood is a high launching club with a straight bias and mid-to-low spin. The fully adjustable hosel is a nice touch for added customization.
Ideal for
  • Extremely forgiving across the face
  • Sleek and modern look
  • Fully adjustable hosel for customization
Not ideal for
  • Distance could be a tad better

What do you love about this product?

My favorite aspect of the Mizuno ST-Z 230 fairway wood was the overall feel. Crisp, responsive, and powerful sensation coming off the club face. Not as soft as the ST-X, but still a very pleasing feel. Mishits provide feedback and on center strikes feel like they rocket off the face.

Why did you choose this product?

The Mizuno ST-Z 230 fairway wood is a perfect option for low to high-handicap players looking for a versatile option that blends forgiveness and workability. There was very little the ST-Z 230 fairway wood couldn't do during my testing. It displayed elements of forgiveness, workability, distance, and feel. The club really allows you to play any type of shot off the tee or from the fairway or rough. The CORTECH Chamber produces higher ball speeds and a low spin ball flight combined with a rear weighting system produces a consistent launch. Ultimately, the overall performance of the ST-Z 230 will win over a lot of players who are looking to update their fairway wood.

Bob knows his stuff!
5 /5
He was very understanding of my wants in a set of clubs for a beginner like myself and offered three personalized sets based on my price range and height. He gave me three different options each with their own pros and cons but all of them were greatly appreciated! Knowledgeable person who made purchasing my first set of clubs seamless!

5 /5
Sara recommended 3 choices for woods and irons. I settled on the TRS2 3W and TRS2 Hybrid with specific shafts she also recommended and the Golf Pride Tour Wrap G2 grips I preferred. I selected the Mizuno JPX923 Hot Metal Pro Irons and got the 4-PW and added the G, L and S wedges with the shafts Sara recommended and the same grips I preferred. This combo is the best I have ever hit providing me with great satisfaction almost each time I hit the ball as I still, occasionally, hit a bad shot but that’s on me and not the club selection. Sara really was spot on with her selection of clubs for me and I also was recommended the Scotty Cameron Phantom putter which is the best putter I have ever had. Thanks again Sara! Really appreciate your knowledge and help!

Mick was super friendly and helpful from the start. Being that we are both from St. Louis, we started out our interaction by talking about shared experiences there which really broke the ice and made me feel welcomed. As we continued on, Mick stuck with me as I went back and forth on decisions and took a couple weeks to make a purchase. When I finally did, he even threw me a deal with a free pack of balls! Great experience and I will be shopping with Mick again in the future.

Was searching for a nice, but simple/basic hat to use while out on the course. Was linked with Ted and relieved I was!! You never really know what to expect from websites anymore...is it a real person, is there some brand or type or quota. Not a worry here with Ted. Even for something as simple as a hat, got a quick response with no hassle or pressure. Even gained a recommendation from Ted on some golf balls, which I asked about during our chat. So, all-in-all, I am beyond happy with my experience and very grateful to have worked with Ted. I highly recommend anyone searching for anything related to golf to link up with Ted, you'll be both happy and relieved you did!! Appreciate your time, Ted!

Was only looking to get a couple of boxes of golf balls and was interested in ones that help with those of us who slice. Ted didn't try and upsell anything or press additional items, just addressed the ask and recommended a great item for my use! It's a tremendous relief to have someone actually help with no agenda or motive. Highly recommend Ted for anything golf related!!!!!!! Thank you, Ted!
