ATLANTA – Mizuno, founded in Osaka, Japan, in 1906, has long held an enviable industry andtour-wide reputation for crafting the very finest wedges in the game, offering golfers the ultimate blend of looks, feel,control and consistency around the green and on shorter approach shots.
For 2020, Mizuno has unveiled the ES21 range of wedges, engineered to help players generate the consistent spin ratesneeded for a more effective short game.
Traditional wedges have a sweet spot that is slightly to the heel side, making it hard for many players to find consistency.But the ES21 wedges feature a higher, more central sweet spot which, combined with a super stable design, delivers asquarer strike and greater levels of more controllable spin.
A multi-piece stainless steel construction features a hollow body for a higher and deeper center-of- gravity, while the hightoe and low heel keep the wedges extremely stable when the face is opened.
ES21 wedges feature Quad-Cut Grooves: ultra-precise CNC milled grooves cut into durable Grain Flow Forged Boroninfused steel. In addition, Hydroflow Micro Grooves, which are vertically etched, help release moisture and maintain spineven in damp conditions.
The ES21 wedges are available with either a standard or wide sole option, each model featuring a surprisingly narrowtop line to give the confidence-inspiring look of a players’ wedge at address.
Perfected for over 50 years at one factory in Hiroshima, Japan, Mizuno’s forging expertise is revered for its consistencyof manufacture, distance control and incredible feedback. This reputation may be most commonly associated withMizuno irons but the precision and feel of Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forged HD process offers scope for even more payback in the wedges where touch and feel are most critical.
“We’ve taken a very Mizuno type approach to the ES21 by keeping the top line very sleek – despite the technologyinside. Our testing showed that there’s a lot of good golfers out there who will be surprised at the gains they could makeby having more predictable spin numbers,” said Mizuno’s Director of R&D David Llewellyn.
Mizuno has strived to “create the best products for consumers” for 114 years, and the new ES21 wedge adheres firmly tothat original spirit and desire, while offering the best performance benefits that modern technology can bring.#ReachBeyond
