Why We Like It
Because wedges often feature long hosels and substantial mass toward the heel, the center of gravity leans toward the heel, but that doesn’t make for an efficient wedge, particularly for average players who tend to hit out on the toe. Mizuno addresses this by using a shorter hosel and a cavity in back that stretches from just right of center all the way to the heel, leaving more mass in the toe area. This creates a more centered CG and extends impact for maximum spin.

Reviews
Simple shape. Feels compact on full shots. Makes ball-first contact around the green. Easy to clip the ball and hit a variety of shots from the sand.
Alejandra, 25, Handicap: 5Great proportions. Nice touch on full shots. Has the clean, sharp contact I'm looking for. Good greenside spin. Able to hit standard chips, flop shots and everything in between.
Thomas, 59, Handicap: 7Traditional look. Big hitting area encourages center strikes and prevents toe hits. Nice ball flight and distance. Bounce is generous and helps me swing the club through the sand without it feeling bulky.
David, 56, Handicap: 13This is The Key to Good Wedge Play
A proficient wedge game can turn double bogeys into par saves and drop scores from the mid-90s well into the 80s. In this video, Ashley Moss shows you why solid contact is the first step to dialing in your wedge distances.
