Mizuno MP-T11 Black Nickel Wedges.

Mizuno MP-T11 Black Nickel Wedges.

New groove regulations introduced on tour in 2010 will become standard for all wedges manufactured and distributed after Jan 1 2011.

With grooves becoming more standardized, other factors become increasingly important to control spin rates around the greens. Material and club-head construction are now key to manipulate the golf ball - which is where Mizuno's Grain Flow Forged wedges excel.

Forged from 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel, Mizuno's MP T-11 provides a pure, soft club-head that holds the ball a fraction longer on full pitches. On shorter pitch shots where the ball does not fully compress, CNC milled score-lines between the grooves ensure maximum traction.

A wider, shallower version of Mizuno's QUAD CUT groove is used on 56-64 degree models to assist traction on the shorter, partial strikes - where the ball cannot fully compress. Over 50-54 degrees, QUAD CUT uses a narrower, deeper configuration, suitable for fuller, squarer strikes.

Spin rates are accompanied by the shot making prowess of a compact teardrop shape. The thicker topline is bevelled down by a 360 grind, which also keeps the lead edge tight to the ground on a variety of shots.

The new MP T-11 wedge line is available in two finishes; Two Tone White Satin chrome and glare resistant Black Nickel.
