Just saw the new mizuno wedges

[EZ Swinger]

and they look pretty sweet. In my opinion they look different then most other wedges. I think it might be that they have a smaller club head. Ive never had a mizuno wedge or even hit one but I might actually get one of these just because I like the look. Anyone else seen these?

Which ones are you talking about?? I have a 60* Mizuno R series and I plan on replacing my cleveland (56*), and buying a 52 to have laying around to interchange in and out of the bag. I'm curious, because I was actually getting ready to leave and go to the store to look at the 56 and the 52.

I just bought the Titleist Vokey wedges and like them better then my old Mizuno wedges.

they are called the mizuno mp t-10 white satin wedges. They look a lot different than the old mizuno wedges.

So I go to progolf yesterday and deal with some yahoo who I am pretty sure works on commision. I walk in an he says can i help you find anything. I told him i was looking for a 56* wedge and I'd like a Mizuno r series to match what i have now. He finds one that 54* and in the black nickel which I was looking for a 56* in the satin finish. I tell him no I'm looking for a 56 and he says to me "well I can bend it 2 degrees for you" I almost turned around and walked right out of the damn store.. I couldn't believe he actually said that to me. Oh well I know now I'll never shop at progolf again.

Ive seen them and they look pretty sweet. Ive got both the MP-T and MP-R wedges, which I really like and Im looking foreward to trying out the new MP-Ts to see how they compare.

I don't understnd, whats wrong with that?

Every degree of loft you change, it also changes the bounce by the same degree. If you bend a club 2* weak, you add 2* of bounce. 2* stronger loft, you take 2* of bounce off the club. Bounce is arguably more important than loft when it comes to wedges.

what he said. i was just kind irritated that i went in there ready to buy a new wedge and this guy wanted to modify one to suit what i needed instead of even offering to order me one. If he would have told me I can order you one and it be here before Friday I would;ve paid in full right then and there, but the fact he made it clear he wanted to make a sale no matter what it was made me mad. I could understand if it was a rare wedge, or an odd ball loft/bounce etc, but a 56* wedge is a pretty common wedge.

Wouldn't that essentially make a 54 with low bounce (never seen a 54.14) into a 56 with 12 degrees. I have bent some of my wedges and I don't see any difference in the way they perform except 5-10 yards longer.

I would bet a small fortune that the only players that could tell a performance difference between a vokey 58.08 and vokey a 60.08 bent to 58 is on tour. I have both right now. I got the SM 58 because it is was on sale and I love spin around the greens and it was time for an update.

Yeah, a 54.10 bent 2 degrees weak would be a 56.12. Most people probably wouldn't see a big difference. I think like he was saying, it's more the principle than anything.

I'd agree probably that your average player wouldn't notice the difference of 2 degrees. Most people don't know how to turn a 90 yard swing into an 80 yard swing either... my point being that the average once a week or twice a month golfer doesn't know his yardages all that well. Personally, I do notice the difference between a 60 and a 58 as far as distance/trajectory control. I tried a new wedge setup with a 60 and just couldn't get used to it so I went back to the 58 since I was used to my yardages with that loft.

Back to the OP's statement though... I dig the look of the new wedges. I think that Satin looking finish is sweet... and the raw black is sick looking. But looking down on them at address, they look a lot like most other wedges available. The remind me of my old Cleveland RTG wedges. I actually prefer the slightly more boxy look of the current Mizuno Wedge offerings. I guess they just seem to blend better from my irons...

Nevertheless, they're sweet looking. I'm just hoping to find out what they plan on offering that will have conforming grooves!

you hit the nail right on the head. the reason i was irritated was this guy was just trying to make a sale right then and there buy selling me a new club that would need to be modified to be what i wanted originally, when he could have very well just ordered one to spec and i would have bought it then. Might have to wait till the weekend and hit up a golfsmith(ugh) to take a look at these new mizuno wedges. They look pretty nice on there website.
