Mizuno T22

Blade-level, with spin-weighting help - the tapered blade places extra mass high in the head for more consistent spin and a penetrating flight regardless of where the face is struck, though greenside forgiveness is not great. A players' blade that demands a clean strike.

Consistent, dependable spin - the loft-specific Quad Cut milled grooves and HydroFlow micro grooves keep spin consistent and reduce drop-off in the wet, with plenty of spin and good distance control, and a flat, penetrating trajectory. Strong, repeatable distance control.

A versatile forged shotmaker - four grinds (S minimal, D moderate, C heavy relief, X extreme heel-toe-leading relief for short-game artists) let players manipulate the face and bounce, the compact modified-teardrop blade aiding shot control. Among the most versatile players' wedges for shaping shots.

Best-in-class - the one-piece Grain Flow Forged HD construction with a copper underlay (as on the MP-20 irons) gives a pure, buttery feel that upholds the Mizuno reputation, soft and responsive even on range balls. A clear step up from the firmer T20, and among the softest wedge feels.

A soft, quiet note - the T22 pairs its buttery feel with a very quiet impact sound, a soft, understated acoustic from the copper underlay. A clean, muted impact note matched to the soft feel.

Clean and classic - the compact modified-teardrop frames the ball without excess, a clean wedge with classic styling that is a little rounder and softer than some, with a beveled top edge and rich Denim Copper finish. Among the better-looking wedges, a touch less razor-sharp than the T20.
