My back up wedges are the older Mizuno MP-T wedges and I took them out last week since my gamer wedges were in my friend's trunk. They feel a bit heavier than the Vokey or Cleveland wedge and feel quite dead when making contact with the ball. First time using forged wedges and did not like it at all. Took some time getting used to the weight of the club. Is it just me?

To a point - yes, it might be you. But noone can tell you what's the best wedge for you. If you like a club, then that's it.

In my case, I had Mizuno MP-R wedges, and loved them. But then I decided to try Vokeys because of all the love given them on this forum (and others I'm sure). I liked the Vokeys very much, but eventually realized that I also liked the Mizunos a lot. After about a year of using both intermittantly, I wound up with the Mizuno 58-degree for my lob wedge, and the Vokey 54-degree for the sand wedge. And I'm starting to hedge on that one.

Once you get used to the slightly heavier weight of the Mizunos, they can be deadly. They aren't, in my opinion, that heavy - but they are heaavier.

It's a lot like putters. ALL KINDS of different weights, for example the Scotty Cameron blade vs. the Heavy Putter. But you know what? They both work for different people.

What you prefer is the important thing. Just make sure you give both a fair try, in order to give yourself the best tools with which to enjoy the game. Good luck.

I will attest that they are just a tad heavier than most other wedges. I currently have a Cleveland CG12 in 52* and a MP-T in 58*, and I believe the MP-T is one swing weight heavier. However, most wedges are heavier in their higher lofted versions versus their gap wedge and lower lofted versions. Therefore, that may not be a fair comparison.

I like Cleveland wedges a lot but I just think I have more feel with the Mizuno, especially on those finesse shots. I am absolutely lethal with my MP-T. I feel I can confidently get up and down nearly every time. That is why I am currently in the process of trying to find a 51* MP-T wedge to compliment my 58.

I had them and hated them.

I found they dug in as the sole grind is so aggressive

Switched to clevelands and have never looked back

I have to agree with "the MP-T's are deadly". I have changed my wedges so much in the past three years b/c none of them felt the way I thought they should. Picked up the 51* and 56* Mizzys from Edwin watts used and they are exactly what the doctor ordered.

Great wedges

I like the weight, the club head is felt throughout the swing, even on 25%-50% swings

G10 (VS Proto 65 X) or 905S (speeder X) / X Tour 3W (VS Proto S) / Adams Idea Tour Proto 18* (VS Proto S) / S59 Tour, Z-Z65 Cushin (D2) / Mizuno MP-T 51-06 , 56-10, / Miz TP Mills #6 ~or~ Cleveland BRZ #5

I love my mp-t wedges I had the older version and just upgraded to the quad cut grooves. I think all wedges are similar but wedges are all about feel so maybe they just aren't for you.

Wedges are very personal so that might have been the case for you. There might be some people who swear by them and others like you who didn't like the feel / head weight.
Personally I haven't had a chance to try them but the review on the main site seems to suggest they feel just a tad softer than the Vokeys Erik used to play.

I like them. Went from Clevelands to MP-Ts. Find myself using the 56/13 for almost everything around the green now.

I love my MP-Ts, but I've had the faces since April '08 and I need to accept that and get new ones. I wish I had relatively new ones sitting around! For whatever reason, I don't like the MP-T10s.

i think I may have misread the original post.

I had the MPT10 wedges which I hated and have never tried the normal MPT range

I played for 14 years with Ping Eye-2 clones (Pro Tour Blacks), and got pretty good with the stock PW and SW (LW never caught on).

In May 2009, I switched out my irons and wedges. Hardest part of the transition was getting wedges zeroed in. It's year 2 now, and I switched the X20 AW for the CG14. Things are looking up.

Now, if I ever get to go out and play without being rained out (7 rainouts since May)...

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
