I was looking at wedges to buy and quite like the look of the mizuno range and have across these knock-down prices.

Can anyone tell me which are better for a mid-high handicapper? I know the obvious answer is the mx wedge, but I really think I have quite a reasonable short game, and can open up the face of my PW to get out of bunkers 9/10and have been coping with adjusting my one wedge so far.

Miz MP R Black Nickel - £50

Miz MR T WS Chrome - £50

MX Wedge (most expensive) - £60

All with 55-56 and 12-14 bounce.

Thanks for any advice or experiences you have.

I went with the MP R wedges as they looked more like my MP 60 irons. I really like them and actually prefer the forged wedge over the cast wedges like Titleist and Cleveland.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

MP-R or MP-T will be pretty nice. I just purchased the 56 and 60 MP-T wedges 2nd hand. Hopefully they work out.

I got a 56/14 MP-R in black nickel for £40 which is about $25 on clearance :D Should be here in a few days and they kind of go with my MX-25 as far as make at least!

I carry a MP-T and MP-R and really like both wedges a lot. They have a great feel, although they do not spin as much as my old Vokey or Cleveland CG14. I think the MP-R is a better wedge for bunker play, thin lies or rough (the leading edge is slightly curved), but the MP-T is better out of the fairway (flatter leading edge on that model).

I think you'll be happy with your new wedge.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
