Mizuno irons have been my go-to for years, but I admit I’ve been missing out on their wedges. That changed when the T24s showed up at my door last month. The moment I pulled the initial wedge from the box (a 56-degree wedge in that gorgeous Denim Copper finish), I knew these were different from the T20s I'd tested years ago. The topline looked cleaner, more polished, like someone had taken a sculptor's chisel to remove every unnecessary gram of metal.
Setting them next to my trusty Vokey SM9s, the difference was subtle but noticeable. The T24s have this teardrop shape that just looks right at address, especially in the higher lofts. And that Denim Copper finish? It's not just marketing fluff; it develops this beautiful patina after a few rounds that makes each wedge feel yours distinctly. (Though if you're the type who needs pristine clubs, stick with the Satin finish.)
The Mizuno T24 Wedge redefines precision and feel, offering golfers exceptional control and consistent performance around the greens. Designed for players who demand the best, this wedge enhances your short game with superior craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
Here's where Mizuno's heritage really shines through. These wedges are forged from a single piece of 1025 Boron steel, the same process they use for their legendary irons – and you can feel it immediately. I've tested cast wedges, milled wedges, and everything in between, but there's something special about the way a properly forged wedge feels at impact.
The Boron steel gives these wedges about 30% more strength than standard carbon steel, which means the grooves should last considerably longer. But it's the copper layer underneath the nickel chrome plating that really caught my attention. Mizuno claims it improves feel and increases contact time with the ball, and after three weeks of testing, I believe them. There's this soft, buttery sensation at impact that reminds me why I fell in love with forged clubs in the beginning.
What really sold me was the consistency. Whether I'm hitting a full 56-degree from 95 yards or a delicate flop shot over a bunker, the feel remains predictable. That continuous grain flow they maintain during forging? It's not just marketing speak; it translates to a distinctive "click" at impact that tells you exactly how you struck the ball. Bad shots feel bad, good shots feel pure, and there's no confusion about which is which.

I was skeptical about the Hydroflow Micro Grooves initially. Every manufacturer claims their grooves are groundbreaking, right? But then I played a soggy morning round after overnight rain, and these grooves proved their worth. The laser-etched micro grooves between the main grooves actually channel moisture away from the impact zone, think of them like tiny drainage ditches.
During that wet round, I hit my usual 54-degree approach into the 7th green from about 80 yards out. The ball was sitting in wet rough, moisture everywhere, the kind of lie that usually produces a flyer. Instead, the ball checked up after two hops. Same story on the 12th hole from a soaked fairway. The spin consistency in wet conditions is noticeably better than my previous wedges.
But here's what Mizuno doesn't shout about enough: the Quad-Cut Plus Grooves. They've varied the groove pattern based on loft – tighter spacing on the higher lofted wedges, where you need maximum spin for those touchy shots around the green. The 60-degree has noticeably tighter grooves than the 50-degree, and it makes sense. You're not trying to spin a full 50-degree shot the same way you're trying to grab and stop a 30-yard pitch with your lob wedge. Mizuno specifically engineered wider grooves for the 54-60° lofts to maximize spin performance on those critical approach shots.
After about 150 balls on the range and four rounds, the grooves still look fresh. That Boron steel strength isn't just marketing; these grooves are holding up better than any wedge I've tested in recent memory. Regular groove inspection after 75 rounds helps maintain optimal spin control throughout the wedge's lifespan.
This is where the T24s really separate themselves from the pack. Five different sole grinds might seem like overkill, but once you understand what each does, you realize Mizuno has created a system where there's genuinely a perfect wedge for every player and condition.
I tested three grinds extensively. The C-Type (my favorite) has mid-to-high bounce with generous heel and toe relief. It's the Swiss Army knife of the bunch, works on tight lies, fluffy rough, and everything in between. I put this grind in my 54 and 58-degree slots, and it's been money. The sole glides through turf without digging, and I can open the face for flops without the leading edge coming off the ground.
The V-Type grind, new for this generation, is fascinating. High bounce in the center with aggressive relief on the trailing edge, heel, and toe. I tested this in a 60-degree angle, and it's perfect for players who like to manipulate the club face. You can hit it square for a standard shot, open it up for a high spinner, or even close it down slightly without the bounce fighting you. It's particularly good from bunkers, that high center bounce prevents digging while the relief areas let you play different shots.
The X-Type, with its low bounce and aggressive relief, wasn't for me (I have a steeper attack angle), but I let my scratch golfer buddy try it, and he loved it. If you're a sweeper who picks the ball clean, this grind is pure gold on tight lies and firm conditions. The S-Type delivers high bounce with limited relief, making it the perfect choice for players who prefer traditional full shots without manipulation.
Most companies use the same head shape across all lofts, just changing the face angle. Mizuno actually engineered different shapes for different lofts, and it's brilliant. The 50 and 52-degree wedges have a straighter leading edge – perfect for those full shots where you want confidence that the club will square up naturally.
As you move up to the 54 and 56-degree wedges, the shape shifts to a more traditional teardrop. Then the 58 and 60-degree lob wedges have this beautiful rounded shape that just screams "versatility" when you open the face. It's subtle, you might not notice it immediately, but after a few rounds, you realize each wedge feels purpose-built for its intended shots.
The polished topline deserves special mention. They've removed mass from the toe and blended the hosel more smoothly into the head. The result? These wedges look smaller and more player-friendly at address without actually sacrificing hitting area. It's an optical illusion that builds confidence. The spin-weighted blade design with that flared upper portion also helps generate more spin on those high-face strikes we all hit from the rough.
The Mizuno T24 Wedge redefines precision and feel, offering golfers exceptional control and consistent performance around the greens. Designed for players who demand the best, this wedge enhances your short game with superior craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
You'll get a 90-day warranty period when you buy Mizuno T24 wedges through Golf Galaxy, which includes their Play Guarantee. Since Mizuno doesn't provide direct manufacturer warranties, your coverage depends on where you purchase. Different retailers provide varying warranty terms, though most match competitor products. You'll need your receipt and proof of purchase for any claims. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
Yes, you can get extensive custom shaft options beyond standard selections. You'll find 33 different shaft choices available for your T24 wedges, including premium options like Dynamic Gold Tour Issue and Recoil ESX. You'll want to work with a professional fitter who can match your wedge shafts to your iron shafts for consistency. Custom fitting centers offer these specialized shafts along with grip and length customization to enhance your short game performance.
You'll find T24 wedges are pricier than previous Mizuno models, retailing around $180-185 per wedge compared to older versions. The S23 models typically sold for $130-150, while earlier T20 and T22 wedges carried lower MSRPs under $180. This price increase reflects significant upgrades you're getting - the new 1025 Boron steel, QuadCut+ Grooves technology, and five sole grind options that weren't available in previous generations.
You'll find left-handed T24 wedges available across the loft range, though Mizuno hasn't explicitly confirmed every single loft option comes in left-handed versions. The documentation shows left-handed availability for multiple configurations including higher lofts like 58°, and they're offered in the Soft White Satin finish. While the complete 46° to 60° range exists in right-handed models, you'd need to check with Mizuno directly to confirm specific left-handed loft availability before ordering.
Your T24 wedges come standard with the Lamkin UTx 360 grip, a midsize, non-tapered design that's built for comfort and control. You'll appreciate its soft, tacky texture that manages moisture well and reduces hand fatigue. The grip features a 360-degree texture pattern for maximum traction in different weather conditions. It's available in multiple colors including black and white, and you can customize with other grip options through Mizuno's fitting centers.
The Mizuno T24 wedges are the real deal. After three weeks of testing, they've earned permanent spots in my bag, replacing wedges I've trusted for years. They're not just forged wedges with good marketing; they're genuinely creative tools that deliver measurable performance improvements.
Who are they for? If you're a feel player who appreciates forged construction and wants maximum versatility from your wedges, these are worth every penny. If you play in varied conditions and want confidence that your wedges will perform in the wet, the Hydroflow grooves alone justify the investment. Players who want to carry fewer wedges but maintain shot options will love how versatile each grind is.
Skip them if you're on a tight budget (there are good options at half the price) or if you prefer the firmer feel of cast or milled wedges. But if you're serious about your short game and want wedges that blend traditional forging with modern technology, the T24s are as good as it gets in 2024.
