Mizuno Pro T-1 Wedge Review

Having control around the green largely comes down to feel and there aren’t many brands out there that can replicate the sensation at impact that Mizuno offers. The Pro T-1 wedge is one of two new wedges released by Mizuno, alongside the Pro T-3. While the Pro T-1 wedge brings a refined new look, improving on the very impressive T24 wedge, I wanted to get it out on the golf course, put it through its paces and see if it can be considered one of the best golf wedges on the market in 2025.

One thing I love that Mizuno has implemented this year is the continuity in aesthetics between the wedges released and the irons in their 2025 lineup. The Pro T-1 wedge is a bladed players wedge that has been designed to offer the utmost in control and versatility - much like the Mizuno Pro 241 iron that is widely regarded as one of the best bladed irons money can buy.

The Pro T-1 wedge offers up a fairly compact, teardrop head shape that boasts so much shelf appeal both in hand and behind the ball. While I’m a massive fan of the soft white satin finish, there is the option of both blue and black ion finishes for those wanting to add a little color to the bag. While I’m not sold on the bright blue ion finish in hand, behind the ball I found the contrasting silver face frames the ball rather nicely.

So these wedges are very visually appealing but does the performance match the looks? Constructed from 1025 Pure Select Mild Carbon Steel and copper underlay, the Mizuno Pro T-1 wedge offers a buttery soft feel and feedback a level above most wedges I have tested over the past few years. Due to its bladed nature, it's not one of the most forgiving wedges on the market and I really noticed a drop off in ball speed when not striking the center of the face, so this is something to consider if you regularly hit full shots with your wedges.

While I tested these wedges in slightly softer conditions, I did notice there was plenty of spin being generated, particularly on smaller chip and pitch shots. Mizuno has introduced its new Quad Cut+ grooves and Hydroflow microgrooves on these wedges, which sees a tighter groove pattern on the face alongside technology that helps control moisture levels and therefore spin generation. As someone who lives in the UK, battling ever-changing conditions on the golf course is something I regularly face and so having wedges that perform just as well in the winter on wet turf as when I’m playing on firm and tight ground come the summer months is really important.

Knowing what bounce and grind options will suit you best plays a big role in your short-game performance. The Mizuno Pro T-1 wedges are offered in six different sole profiles so if you regularly play on soft ground, you may seek something with more bounce and vice-versa with firm turf. There is a new M sole which replaces the mid-bounce D-grind option found in the T24 wedge lineup and a new P sole (plus bounce) offers slightly more bounce than the D sole for additional versatility.

As someone who enjoyed the performance and actually gamed the T24 wedges, I was eagerly anticipating the launch of the Mizuno Pro T-1 wedges. It’s safe to say I wasn’t disappointed. The compact and sleek profile will suit the eye of the better golfer and the well-rounded nature of this wedge saw it perform well in every aspect of the short game. They do come to retail at £190 which is on the more expensive end of the spectrum but if you’re looking for a soft-feeling wedge with high levels of control and feedback, you’ll struggle to find better.
