How about some more options for us lefties?! Please Mizuno, please. Please. I'm needing new wedges, but when summer comes around I'm just not sure the lack of options is gonna work. What if I need a 58* with 10-13* of bounce? what if I am wanting a lower lofted sandwedge like a 54/12? There is just not enough options for us, you know when the righties are saying there aren't enough options, the lefties are really getting left out in the cold. Probably gonna be 588s for me. We'll see.

My lefty whinning is over. Sorry, had to get that out..

legitimate.  even for us right handed golfers a few more options would be great.

I hit these with some other wedges (vokey sm4, tour s) mostly chips and pitches with only a few full shots.  I preferred the t4 and was in the midst of pulling the trigger when someone suggested that I keep a 4* gap with my new i20 pw (46*) and go 50, 54, 58.  I have never tried that before and it threw me for a loop.

after considering it and reading some threads combined with not really being in the mood to readjust to the different yardages so I am pretty much locked on to 5* gaps. 51 (50 bent weak), 56 and 60 (even though i have not always had a ton of use for a 60 and am consciously working on incorporating more bump and run chipping in my life).

any, my i20's are the first irons i have had bent flat (purple dot) and it has helped.  much fewer pull hooks and hooks... a lot more slight fades but frankly that is fine (just have to get judge smails out of my head).  I bent my current wedges flat to match and I think I am hitting those straighter too (probably way overdue as I am 5'9")

anyway. I was checking the specs on the t4's and noticed they are 1* flatter than seems std (63 vs 64) and the gap wedges are 0.25" shorter.  I am still likely going to order them at 0.5* flat to match.  Does the 0.25" shorter length affect your distance on the gap?  I mean presumably it is a few yards shorter.  Since I am shorter than average anyway this should help.  Just curious what others have found.  Also, anyone else struggle with thinking of getting the OEM gap/utility wedge since it will get a lot of full swing use?

thanks for any and all feedback/insight.  

great review swan

great review swan

no difference for me with the length being shorter.

Is there anywhere the general public can get the club with the engraving?  I think that is a very nice touch.

I just ordered a set of MP64s with the PX 5.5 shaft. I am thinking about ordering the T4 50 deg and wondered if I should get the same shaft as the irons. Any suggestions?

Personal preference...  If you are accustom to the PX in wedges then yes.  I have CTAPERS in my irons - but have never made the change in wedges away from DGs300/400.  For some reason this has been a staple in my bag for years regardless the wedge played.  The weight feels right for the touch shots.

Is anyone playing these wedges with the stock spinner shafts?
Any long term reviews?

Looking at 52 58 combo

[d.chu27]

I bought a 56/13 and bent it to 54.  You still get the bounce at 11 degree.

[Tallcane]

Why is everyone so down on the stock spinner shaft?

[albatrosser]

have a 52 58 combo in these with the DG spinner shafts and love the combo.  Great spin and the great Mizuno forged feel. Couldn't be happier!
