It's hard to justify giving a pitching wedge five out of five but the Mizuno Pro that lives in my bag has done enough to warrant it I think. The first point that seperates it from other wedges I've played is the loft, I'm sure it's stronger than normal wedges. It certainly has a strong flight but it's so easy to control that it makes a high handicapper such as myself capable of occasional moments of magic.

It's fitted with the same stiff rifle shaft that I've got in all my Mizunos and a Lambkin Crossline grip and the combination just seems excellent for any shots within 90 yards of the green (not going to claim I can nuke a wedge 120 yards because I can't - got an 8-iron for that shot).

Summary:

A cavity back pitching wedge that's a little stronger than most. Hits the ball true and is great for little chips around the green - a winner.
