Mizuno T20 Wedge £140

-

GM Verdict

Mizuno is known for its soft-feeling irons, and this also transfers into its latest wedge offering. The Grain Flow Forged T20 wedge feels solid and crisp and the gentle, muted sound contribute­s to a buttery soft feel. Spin control was also very good on a wide variety of shot lengths, helping inspire a more committed swing as you know the ball will check up quickly on the second bounce. The square, straight leading edge assisted with alignment and, along with the impressive off-centre forgivenes­s and precise CNC Milled grooves, helped produced consistent distances and a tight dispersion on full shots where you expect to get close to the flag.

Across the three loft-specific sole grinds there’s enough scope for most abilities of player to manipulate the face and counter different ground conditions, although it would have been nice for either the STD Bevel, Subtle M or Aggressive C grinds to have been marked on the wedge so we knew for sure which was which. The added vertical stability meant the trajectori­es in the loft range travelled through a similar flight window on full shots for added control and predictabi­lity.

The thick topline might make the T20 wedge look a touch chunky, but that aside, it’s ideal for players who prioritise a soft feel. Everyone will enjoy the consistenc­y and control it provides when trying to attack the flag and get up-and-down.

The soft feel was pleasing

Key Technology

New Hydroflow Micro Grooves are vertically etched to help release moisture and maintain spin 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.

An element of boron infusion in the 1025E mild carbon steel billets makes them more durable for longer-lasting groove performanc­e and reliable spin.
