Nicely done Hanks!
Being a former mpt-11 Guy yourself, would you game these over the mpt-11s?

Great and very thorough review Todd! A few things really stood out to me while reading this:
- liked how they used different finishes to eliminate virtually any chance of glare
- sexy wedge is right, classic sleek look to it. No big bold lettering or plastic inserts, etc
- sounds like a monster which I would like to try
- love the DG spinners as standard. When given the chance, I want some.
- disappointed to hear about ball chewing. I would never touch the Jaws because of that and have recently watched the older Vokey's doing it as well. Hard to knowingly scuff a 3-4 dollar ball.
Thanks again for the solid review.
Tappin' from my iPad!
Thorough Hanks, very thorough. I've been looking forward to your review and you didn't disappoint. I'm assuming it was a pretty easy process going from the MP-T11's to these? They sure do look great, that's a huge selling point for me. I do think it would've been useful had they provided a gap wedge for you to test. I typically utilize that wedge more for full shots and I prefer to use the sand/lob wedges for shots that don't necessarily require a full swing at it. Good job though man!
Loved it Hanks! I think there is a ton of technology for the price... One quick question, do you know if the 50* comes with the same spinner flex as the other wedges? IIRC there are two spinners and one of them is geared more towards the full shots and what not. I dont want to hijack but I really am interested in these wedges down the road, I love the fact this shaft is standard.
Great review tons of info! These wedges are packed with technology! The loft specific sole geometry is a great feature that really stands out for me on these wedges. I'm looking to get new wedges and these will be on my list to demo.
Great review T, you really did a great job on this one. I love the looks and the quad cut milled face sounds like it is just what a lot of people need to be able to get some spin on their golf balls. I'm not cray about hearing that it chews up softer cover balls though, I realize that comes with the territory but man replacing a $45/doz ball every couple holes gets expensive in a hurry!
Thanks for the great write up, sounds like Mizuno has a great wedge on their hands.
Great review Hanks. Enjoyed reading that.The custom grind on the different wedges is pretty interesting. Seems like quite a few companies are moving away from just offering a specific bounce number and going towards really fitting their wedges to the shots we play. That can only be a good thing.
Sounds like these are pretty spin-intensive too! Beautiful wedges.

I don't know, I'm a little disappointed with the bounce offerings. I use a 54* and 58* wedges, and I would like a little more bounce than 9 and 10 degrees, respectively. Not sure I would like these in the sand. OTOH, I'm certainly willing to try out whatever sole design Mizuno provides with those clubs before writing them off.
These wedges are now available at Blind 9 Golf (http://www.blind9golf.com/mens-wedges.html)! And they are always happy to offer THP members a discount!!
