Mizuno T20

Blade-level, with a little help - the T20 is spin-weighted, with mass placed high in a tapered blade for vertical stability on off-centre strikes, a players' wedge best for golfers who find the centre, with soles too demanding for higher handicaps. Demanding but consistent for a clean striker.

Consistent but not high spin - the T20 has very consistent spin but not very high spin, average to slightly below average against contemporaries, the loft-specific Quad Cut and HydroFlow micro grooves giving dependable spin in the wet. Reliable distance control, with spin the relative weak point.

A versatile tour blade - the three grinds (Standard bevel, subtle M, aggressive C) give skilled players plenty of versatility to open and shut the face, the teardrop blade aiding shot control. Among the more versatile players' wedges for shaping shots.

Solid, if firmer than expected - the Grain Flow Forged T20 feels solid and crisp, a little firm for a forged Mizuno, with the boron infusion contributing to the firmness, a sharp click on full shots with a solid strike. Good feel, a step firmer than Mizuno's softest wedges.

A sharp, crisp click - full shots produce a nice sharp click signalling a solid strike, a crisp acoustic in keeping with the firmer feel. A clean, energetic impact note, a touch sharper than the softest Mizuno wedges.

Best-in-class - among the most well-shaped and aesthetically designed wedges, the teardrop lines flowing seamlessly at address, with understated finishing including a striking Blue Ion and a ready-to-rust Raw option. Among the best-looking wedges of its era.
