Mizuno ST MAX 230 Golf Hybrid

Mizuno ST MAX 230 Golf Hybrid

The Mizuno ST MAX 230 Hybrid is built for golfers who want dependable distance, a high launch and a straight, predictable ball flight. Its large footprint, low-profile head and deep weighting create impressive stability, while the MAS1C steel face and expanded CORTECH Chamber help maintain ball speed across the face. A Speed Bevel also makes the hybrid effective from both the tee and turf.

Key Features & Benefits

• MAX Stability Design – The large footprint, low-profile head and ultra-lightweight waffle crown allow weight to be positioned low and deep. This promotes a high, straight and predictable ball flight with excellent forgiveness.
• High-Energy MAS1C Steel Face – The high-strength face is designed to generate fast ball speeds across a wider area, helping maintain distance when contact isn't perfectly centred.
• Expanded CORTECH Chamber – A dense stainless-steel weight and elastomeric TPU construction works with the clubface to create an additional source of energy. The chamber has been lengthened and positioned closer to the face to help preserve ball speeds across a wider section of the hitting area.
• Speed Bevel – The modified leading edge improves turf interaction, helping the club move cleanly through the ground while retaining speed on shots played from the fairway or rough.
• Ultra-Lightweight Waffle Crown – Saving weight higher in the head allows more mass to be positioned low and deep, contributing to stability and a consistent high launch.
• Quick Switch Hosel – Provides 4 degrees of adjustability, allowing golfers to fine-tune loft and trajectory to better suit their swing and course conditions.

Who Is the Mizuno ST MAX 230 Hybrid Best For?

The ST MAX 230 Hybrid is particularly well suited to beginners, high-handicap and mid-handicap golfers who value forgiveness and consistency over shot-shaping.

Its stable head design makes it easier to produce a straight, reliable flight, while the high launch can help golfers achieve useful carry distance from a variety of lies. More accomplished players who prefer to work the ball may find its highly stable design less suited to intentional shot shaping, but it is an excellent option for anyone prioritising predictable performance.

Fit & Setup Guidance

The Quick Switch hosel offers 4 degrees of adjustability, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune the hybrid's loft and trajectory. The ideal loft and shaft combination will depend on your swing speed, launch conditions and the distance you need to cover.

For the best results, choose a loft that creates a useful gap between your existing fairway wood and longest iron or hybrid.
