Love the 460 even more! Probably mostly the shaft (Aldila) but with a nice tempo, you can hit fairways every time, even on mishits (just shorter). Gaining probably 15-20 yds using this combo

I got this baby on Ebay for $70 lightly used. 10 degrees with Aldila NV65R. I have a swing speed of about 110 so I thought the R flex would be too whippy, but it's keeping up with me well allowing me to reach about 240 yds with little effort. My friend, who is a complete golf noob, was hitting decent shots with it without even having learned much basics of the swing. He just swung at the ball and yet it went a good 200 yds. It's a very forgiving driver that has a timeless, simple look to it, in contrast to the busy looking drivers that have come out lately (R7 cough cough). I recommend the 400cc for a good mix of looks and performance. There are many people selling this one on Ebay, so good deals are plentiful (although I don't understand why they'd sell it).

Yeah right, unless your ball rolled the length of a cart path and skipped across the parking lot.

it's a winner

the 400/10 with the exsar60 reg shaft fits my swing perfectly, so my swing must fit the parameters of the typical duffer profile it's set up for...
a mid-80s swing speed, hits straight (it's supposed to be draw biased a bit, but I don't have a slice anyway) out there about 200, so no complaints...an easy shaft to control and turn over, moreso than the mp-001/460 was for me at least...
@ under $75 it's a great buy!

I've been hitting the MP001 400 in a 9 degree with a ProLaunch Reg for a year now and am thinking of either going to a 10 degree, same shaft or maybe the 460 version, to get the ball flight up a little more. Love the club, great feel and distance. Price isn't bad either. Care to offer any suggestions one way or another.

Re: Mizuno MP-001 Driver Review

Switched from 983K (Fujikura Speeder 757) to the MP-001 (Fujikura 370) about 3 1/2 months ago.

Picked up about 12 yrds (250 - 255 avg w/roll) without sacrificing accuracy. Mis-hits are ok, ball-flight tends to be medium but that's more a product of my swing than the club.

A friend of mine (scratch golfer) has the same club with Aldila NVS-?? (sorry, forget the exact model), and averages 270 (w/roll) off the tee. When he really goes after it, he bombs it out there 300+, but has to pull the wedgey outta his butt.

Real good club.

If your swing speed is 110 and you're hitting it 240 - especially with an R flex shaft - something ain't right. My swing speed is around 105-108 and I hit my 3 wood 250 with the NV-65 stiff.

Re: Mizuno MP-001 Driver Review

One of the worst modern age (IE 400 CC+) drivers I've tried.

Mizuno hasn't really gotten it right with the driver just yet.
