52 DEGREE/09 BOUNCE WITH TRUE TEMPER DYNAMIC GOLD WEDGE FLEX SHAFT.
The Mizuno S18 Wedges feature a mid-size, rounded profile, manufactured in Hiroshima Japan with Grain Flow Forged for the ultimate in short game performance.
With the weight shifted up the blade is visible in a thicker, bevelled topline, in the higher lofts, delivering more consistent spin rates on strikes from high in the clubface (common with more extreme lofts).
This is Mizuno’s most loft specialist wedge in every way (sole grind, profile, top line and groove depth) from the 46-degree pitching wedge replacement to the 62-degree lob wedge.
"One of the keys to a good wedge game is controlling your spin rates - there's no gain in making one pitch stop dead if the next one rolls out. On the shorter shots, we're more likely to miss the sweet spot high on the face - which is a cause of inconsistent spin. The S18 is thicker higher into the blade, which evens out the spin rates on those common miss-hits." Chris Voshall, Senior Engineer
Rounded Silhouette: Allows the blade to open without impacting alignment.
Thicker upper blade portion: A thicker top line on the most lofted options delivers spin consistency from high on the face.
