Mizuno JPX Wedge 2013 Review

Designed to appeal to players of all abilities and flow from any iron in the JPX range, these wedges are traditional in shape and offer forgiveness in the cavity. They combine a generous face with a wide, smooth sole and subtle relief in the toe and heel.

The big difference from its predecessor, which has come about via feedback from Mizuno’s Performance Fitting System, is that there are more loft and bounce options available. They also offer loft-specific grooves to maximise spin characteristics with the types of shot you play with each wedge.

The grooves are narrower and deeper on the 50-54° wedges as players tend to hit more full shots, whereas the 56-60° wedges have grooves that are wider and shallower, providing extra spin on shorter shots.

Details: RRP £80 (s), £110 (g).

Lofts: 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58° and 60°. The 56° and 58° wedges come in 10° or 14° of bounce, 60° come with 5° or 9° of bounce.
