Contrary to prevailing attitudes, not every golfer can hit a hybrid. If you hit irons well, then a hybrid with an iron look and low center of gravity may be the answer. Mizuno's Fli-Hi clubs do the trick. I did change the shaft from the Exsar shaft because the stiff felt like a board. I re-shafted with a UST Irod regular flex and the club really came to life. It is interested because I hit stiff shafts in everything else. Anyway, for the price, these are excellent iron-like hybrids for those golfers that are hybrid inhibited this will do it. Great club. Mizuno club-making is the best!
I took a chance on this driver as I was looking at a variety of drivers to upgrade from a 2014. My prior driver had no complaints, but lacked distance as the shaft was cut down almost two times inches while I was learning to play the game. I looked at a lot of drivers, and mizuno woods are under the radar and can be found for great prices. At the deal I got, I decided to go with the stiff stock fujikura shaft, and am glad I did. I am not a great golfer, but getting better at avoiding the bigger miss which used to be a slice. With this club and shaft, I feel now like I can aim up the right side and the harder swings draw back to the left. In addition the larger looking head shape is nice, really reminds me of pings g25 or other g series, and in addition the club sits with the face neutral or slightly closed. I have yet to get into full experimentation with the loft and weight settings, but for me the movable weight in the back is good and seems to help my ballflight. For loft, it's still hard to tell on the soft wet Ohio courses what loft I should be set at to get more run or carry distance, but the good thing about this driver is that one driver head covers all the possible lofts. At courses now, I am measuring distance from tee boxes with a gps unit, and my mistakes are still going about 220, which is close to what I was getting with good drives. I know everyone on golf forums exaggerates distance significantly, but my well hit balls on wet courses are now averaging about 250 with little roll. The extra easy distance and being in the middle of the fairway makes even the longer par 4 scoreable. Try the mizzy for the price, and look past the marketing hype.Read full review

This driver is great for a stronger golfer with it's stiff shaft. As for me it's a little hard to use, but that's not the clubs fault. At my age a more flexible shaft would have been a better fit for me.

I've been using my 2-iron for as long as I can remember. But, I've recently (finally) moved up to the Mizuno irons, and thought I needed another 2-iron. Then, I came across this Fli-Hi hybrid club! Needless to say, that my 2-iron days are now gone. This club is versatile and easier to hit than my old 2-iron. This club (in my opinion) can replace a 5-wood and will help get you out of those low-lying shots. This club is also get off the tee with ease!
unlike all other hibreads Mizuno builds theirs with an all metal forged head. The club is very attractive. At 73 yoa my driver (10.5*) clubhd spd is 80mpr yeilding 185 on the fly w/roll out 225-235, off a tee I can hit this club (18*) 175-185 yrds. Off fairway I've yet to master. I would say I can hit it any better than my 3 or 4 iron which I trust time/practice will make the difference. I also own but no longer carry a TaylorMade 22* hibread which I didn't care for. On shorter par fours with the club off the tee I experience streight shots that allow use of short irons for your approach shots and long par threes, again using a tee, its an excellant club. Mizuno, arond since 1906, makes a quality product, I play their MX-25's w/graphit shafts.
