Mizuno T24

Blade-level, for confident strikers - the compact head and lower flight make the T24 best suited to confident short-game players, though the high spin and multiple bounce options help higher handicaps who get creative. Demanding but rewarding for a clean striker.

Best-in-class spin - the T24's higher-spinning Quad Cut grooves with HydroFlow micro grooves really grab the ball, one of the highest-spinning wedges around, with better spin than the T22 in dry and wet conditions. Among the highest-spinning wedges available for tight distance control.

Best-in-class - five grinds (S, D, C, V, X, including a new high-bounce V for steeper attacks) cover every delivery and condition, the compact teardrop blade aiding shot control. Among the most versatile players' wedges for shaping shots.

Soft and receptive - the Grain Flow Forged HD Boron head with a copper underlay feels beautiful, both soft and receptive, with a really solid sensation at impact and a little sweetness to perfect strikes. Among the better forged wedge feels, if a fraction less buttery than the boron-free Pro wedges.

A quiet, full note - a notably quiet, below-average-volume muted knock that is nonetheless full-throated rather than thin, one of the more pleasing wedge impact sounds, a soft, understated acoustic from the copper underlay. A clean, premium impact note.

Best-in-class - the classic teardrop steps away from the busier T22 graphics for a clean line and subtle branding, with the loft and bounce tucked neatly on the toe, with improved aesthetics and premium finishes (Soft White Satin, Denim Copper, Tour Raw). Among the best-looking wedges in golf.
