Nice, ST-Z open at STD and flatter. 10.5 upright Face Angle looks like a typo though (should be 1 open?).

so the ST-Z 10.5 face is square when upright? What is the difference between upright and standard? Higher launch?

Nope, that was the error they fixed. It's 1dg open, same as in std. Depending on hand position a more upright driver can point more left/closed at impact. Basically it either influences how you aim the club at address and/or how you return it at impact. FA has a bigger impact dynamically, but even @ driver loft lie can have an effect on starting line & for some an upright driver just doens't sit right visually (or vice versa).

I prefer my driver to sit square looking at address. My ST-Z appears slightly open and when I finally get to use it for the first time, I'll see whether I feel I need to manipulate it in my hands. I heard the ST-X is more of a draw bias and the ST-Z should be straighter, but I'm not sure how that can be from an open face.
