Oct 04, 2004 The Mizuno MP-001 driver sits perfectly behind the ball and is very forgiving all over the face, as you would expect. We tested the 9.5 degree version with the standard stiff shaft. Teeing the ball high and hitting on the up like any good launch monitor system tells you to do, sends the ball in a powerful high arc for maximum distance. Nov 26, 2015 The Mizuno MP-001 460cc Driver has a lightweight K shaped forged titanium body and graphite crown position the centre of gravity lower and deeper to optimise launch conditions. Contact: 0118 936 2100 Web: www.mizunogolf.com. The Mizuno MP-001 driver features a lightweight carbon-fiber composite crown that meets a titanium face and body to produce a low, deep center of gravity for high-launch, low-spin (read: long) drives. The forged titanium Percussion Face sports the highest legal. Model Reviewed: Mizuno MP-001 460 10.5. This driver is the easiest to consistently hit the sweet spot of any I've tried. The weighting helps square the club face at address, which makes it very forgiving. At this loft it hits low and long. Dec 29, 2003 While some manufacturers have been churning out drivers with a short shelf life claiming to produce those extra yards that give amateur golfers bragging rights over their mates, Mizuno.
983K 8.5, 983K 9.5, 905T 9.5 YS-6+, Mizuno MP-001 9 Graf Blue Stiff, Cleveland Launcher 460 9.5 ProForce Gold, MacTec NVG1 and 2, Callaway ERC Fusion, and now back to the Mizuno MP-001. The MP-001 head and NV stiff shaft combo is where it's at. Alike previous posts, MP-001's trajectory isn't high. In fact, I'm considering purchasing a 10deg.
What we say...
A little like the MacGregor, the Mizuno MP-001 was reviewed rather more favourably by our test panel than the bare distance stats would suggest. We particularly liked its classic looks, its well-balanced feel and its juicy, responsive sweetspot. Yardage obviously isn’t everything, because all three testers had the MP-001 in their top handful.

As with the Callaway and the Yonex, the MP-001 features a graphite composite crown, which is lighter than traditional titanium, allowing the designers to bring the centre of gravity low and deep within the club head for higher, less-spinning drives.
The FlightScope readings reveal that the rate of backspin produced by the MP-001 was indeed lower than most other clubs tested; with a littler more loft Spencer would almost certainly have hit longer drives. Interestingly, the two non pros, with an 11 degree model, found the Mizuno averaged as long as any tested.
Golfers who feel they need an alignment aid on the crown of their driver might not like the plain, deep blue finish of the MP-001, and the 300-yards-or-bust brigade might want a hotter face, but for the rest of us it’s one of the best all-round performers.
Verdict: Gorgeous looks, superb feel and the latest graphite-crown technology. Highly recommended.
The Mizuno MP-001 460cc Driver has a lightweight K shaped forged titanium body and graphite crown position the centre of gravity lower and deeper to optimise launch conditions.
