We’re about 5 weeks away from Mizuno’s launch of it’s next generation Fast Track driver the new MP-630 here in Japan. This time around, Mizuno decided to release the new MP-58 and MP-68 irons outside of Japan first. These irons will also launch after the first week of November here in Japan along with the new MP-630 and become available for Mizuno Japan’s custom iron program.
The MP-630 will initally be available with Exsar MD-3 stock shaft before being available with Japan’s full offering of top shafts. The 460cc MP-630 will have 8.5 9.5 and 10.5* lofts and feature 2 x 5.5g adjustable tungsten weights in its Fast Track system. The driver features a forged Ti-4.5Al-2Mo-4V face paired with a precision cast Ti-6Al-4V body. The face appears shallower compared to the 1st generation MP-600 and as before the Fast Track system allows for fade or draw trajectories as well as a shift in the center of gravity that can also affect the amount of spin the driver will generate. Weights moved to the 1 and 10 position will create a lower trajectory shot for windy conditions while the weights in the 5 and 6 position will create higher launch and maximum carry.
At this point, it appears the Mizuno MP-630 driver won’t be released outside of Japan until some time in the new year and once we have more info we’ll definitely let you know!
10 grams of total weight won’t be enough to effectively make a difference in ball flight. You *might* change the spin but it really will be minimal. Fantastic looking driver though.
