Included in this line are the 'ST-X 220 Hybrid' and the 'ST-X 220 Driver.' The Hybrid model features Mizuno's 'X-Axis' design which optimizes the weight distribution deeper into the waffle crown. On top of this, the ST-X 220 Hybrid boasts Mizuno's thinnest [hybrid face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/square-putters) to date, measuring in at 1.8mm. This results in the ST-X 220 Hybrid being a lightweight club that is easy to swing while delivering a strong hit with a higher draw bias. The ST-X 220 Driver, on the other hand, is a heavier club geared towards high ball flight and consistent swings. The center of the club features a stability-enhanced X-Axis design that ensures the golfer's swings are more consistently accurate, even if they are off by a small margin. The face on this club is a thick layer of forged titanium that uses 'CORTECH' technology to deliver more efficient drives.
