So after Mizuno released those new custom black prototype wedges that were sold out instantly, we had to get our hands on some. Tourspecgolfer who reported the release of these wedges was able to track down a couple of sets for Tourspecgolf. Each set comes with a 52 and 58 wedge with DG Wedge Flex shafts and a nice glossy black box with Mizuno in Gold lettering.
Silver or Gold?
There are two models, Silver and Gold, Silver for the MP-T Prototype and Gold for the MP-R Prototype. For those who are not familiar with Mizuno wedges, The T is for teardrop shape and the R is for round shape. Both are premium forged wedges from Mizuno Chuo factory in Japan and hand grinded and finished by Mizuno’s top craftsman in very limited numbers.
These wedges are the ultimate in feel and control packaged in a clean look with an amazingly versatile multi grind sole. Both wedges have extensive grinds including heel and toe relief to prevent any kind of digging and a focus on pure contact. As with any advanced multi sole grind it is difficult to measure the exact bounce as the bounce varies depending on the spot of the sole and how the wedge is orientated. Both grinds feature a bounce of 6 on the 52* and 14 on the 58* at their highest measured points. The 58* will especially excel in softer sand and the 52* as an all around wedge in any lie.
As of this posting Tourspecgolf has 1 set of each model. With their limited availability and high demand, there is no telling if we can get more!

Update May 27th: Our first two sets sold out but we were able to track down one more set of each!
Do you know where I can find these? I’d really like to purchase them. Thanks.
