Mizuno Golf Wedges have been among the most popular wedges ever put into production. In this article I look at the latest versions of these incredibly clubs.
Mizuno Golf wedges have always been incredibly popular with amateurs and professionals alike. The current batch of wedges are divided into 3 groups-
Group 1-MP T Series
The T-Series look has a straighter leading edge than the R-Series – an alignment aid favoured by many professionals. The grooves are precision milled rather than forged for the most bite or spin allowed within the rules.
The “T” stands for “Teardrop” and the sole is based around the feedback from Mizuno tour players to give you maximum feel and touch around the greens and they come in standard or custom fitted shafts.
Mizuno consider them to be suitable for low to medium high handicappers. They also come in Black Nickel, which is more expensive than the standard mild carbon steel.
Group 2-MP R Series
The “R” in this series stands for “Rounded” as this wedge has a more rounded design which allows for greater range of shot making and working the ball. Like the T series they can be obtained in either mild carbon steel or black nickel and a black nickel plating or finish ensures some protection against rust and is softer than traditional chrome.
The loft of these wedges ranges from 52 degrees up to 60 degrees and you can have custom fitted or standard shafts with a huge range of lie angles.
Group 3-MX Series
The difference with this group is that these are said to be suitable for all handicaps whilst the T and R series are suitable for low to mid handicaps.
These wedges are cavity backed, unlike the other 2 groups, and are incredibly to use. To assist this Mizuno have employed what they call a “Y” technology which they claim increases the sweet spot to allow for mishits, particularly high into the toe area which is a common mishit spot for most amateurs.
They also use a “Power Bar” and a “Cavity Pad” which helps with playability without sacrificing feel and control.
