Mizuno T22 Wedges Review
The Mizuno Golf T22 wedges are a fresh take from a brand that specializes in feel and performance in their golf clubs across the board. Designed primarily for the better player but able to be enjoyed by any skill level, the T22 wedges are available in three finishes and a variety of bounce and loft options.
Mizuno T22 Wedge Technology and Design
Mizuno Golf pulled out all the stops for this sleek, grain flow forged addition to their stellar wedge lineup. Available in denim copper, satin chrome or raw finishes, the T22 wedges feature the same outstanding feel and sound that you expect from Mizuno.
Mizuno T22 wedge grind options
The T22 wedges are available in four grind options: S, D, C and X grind. Each option features different benefits for the player contingent upon the shots they want to hit and playing conditions they frequent.
The S-Grind features a minimal sole to allow for a wide range of different shots, while the X-Grind is on the opposite end of the sole spectrum, offering extreme forgiveness and bounce for players who need it. The C- and D-Grinds fill the middle nicely, offering different layers of sole thickness that can be mix-and-matched throughout your wedge set.
The modified teardrop design of the clubhead offers a compact look at address that low-handicap players will prefer. Each wedge has a spin weighted blade design that offers higher, consistent spin across the face no matter where you make contact.
Quad Cut Milled grooves are sharper than other wedges in this category, prolonging the life of the wedge without adding excessive spin. These HydroFlow Micro Grooves perform admirably in wet conditions, allowing you to maintain shot consistency and predictability.

Performance and Feel
Having been fit to the wedge set I now use in my bad, the Mizuno T22 wedges are absolutely outstanding in all categories. I went with the copper finish, of course, because they are some of the most unique-looking clubs I’ve ever owned.
From inside 100 yards, the T22 wedges gave me everything I needed in terms of shot height and spin. Approach shots held the green nicely — even with a little backspin juice! — even when hitting shots from the rough. Feedback from the wedges felt crisp and muted, similar to what you’d expect from a forged iron.
What I loved most about the T22 wedges are the versatility around the greens. Having been fit into a mixed grind set, I now have all the tools I need to hit chips, bump-and-runs, flops, or any other shot I can think of with any of the three wedges. This once again speaks to the importance of a proper fitting with a certified professional who will match your swing tendencies and short game needs with the right wedges for your game.
If I were to critique any quality of the wedges it would be their weight: they are a little on the lighter side in comparison to other wedges I’ve played. This isn’t a bad thing, of course, and can be easily remedied in many ways. However, I would once again highly recommend paying close attention to your yardage gaps when purchasing a wedge set, especially since clubhead weight can have a big impact in that metric.

Overall Impression
I absolutely love the Mizuno T22 wedges. Everything from the look, feel, sound, and versatility in shot options make these some of the best wedges I’ve ever played. Mizuno has outdone themselves with these wedges, and I’m sure you’ll think the same if you give them a try.
