Mizuno relaunches their T-Series Wedge range

Mizuno, the Japanese equipment manufacturer long renowned for its beautiful, industry-leading forged irons and wedges, is relaunching its T-Series wedges with the classic teardrop profile T20, Grain Flow Forged from 1025E mild carbon steel for the ultimate in greenside feel.

Mizuno, founded in Osaka, Japan, in 1906, has long held an enviable industry- and tour-wide reputation for crafting the very finest forged wedges in the game, offering golfers the ultimate blend of looks, feel, control and workability around the green and on shorter approach shots.

For 2019, Mizuno will be making its T-Series wedges available to the golfing public once more in the form of the new T20, a classic teardrop-shaped wedge forged from 1025E mild carbon steel, which offers the benefits of Grain Flow Forged HD precision at the point on every golf hole where you most need it – in the scoring zone.

Perfected for over 50 years at one factory in Hiroshima, Japan, Mizuno’s forging expertise is revered for its consistency of manufacture, distance control and incredible feedback. This reputation may be most commonly associated with Mizuno irons but the precision and feel of Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forged HD process offers scope for even more payback in the wedges where touch and feel are most critical.

T20 wedges feature New HYDROFLOW MICRO GROOVES, which are vertically etched to help release moisture and maintain spin even in damp conditions. Each T20 wedge is spin-weighted, with weight discreetly placed high within a tapered blade for increased spin and vertical stability on off-centre strikes.

To ensure consistency and predictability in the scoring zone, each head features precise CNC-milled grooves and is mechanically milled to the highest possible tolerances after Grain Flow Forging to ensure a perfectly flat striking face and consistent levels of spin. An element of Boron-infusion in the 1025E mild carbon steel billets makes them more durable for longer-lasting groove performance and reliable spin.

In the higher lofts, T20 wedges feature a wider, shallower groove to better facilitate those partial shots around the green. In the lower lofts, the grooves are narrower and deeper to better suit full shots.

The heads feature a classic teardrop profile, but this too varies from loft to loft. The lower-lofted 46˚ pitching wedge retains a defined teardrop profile, but this flows through to a more rounded profile in the 60˚ degree lob wedge as the need for versatility increases around the green.

T20 wedges will be available in three different finishes – two plated models (Satin Chrome and Blue ION) plus a RAW and ready-to-rust option. Grind options are loft-specific and range from STD BEVEL to Subtle M and Aggressive C grinds.

“Although our T-Series wedges haven’t been available to the public for over a year, they’ve become even more popular on tour over that time,” says Kyle Hammond, Mizuno’s PGA Tour Technician. “The teardrop shape, forged feel and addition of a ‘tour only’ RAW finish brought the wedge to iconic status. The updated T20 has been a long time in coming but with a few extra design tweaks we learned over the last year it will finally bring all that wedge goodness back to the public.”

Mizuno has strived to “create the best products for consumers” for 113 years, and the new T20 wedge adheres firmly to that original spirit and desire, while offering the best performance benefits that modern technology can bring. #ReachBeyond
