The Mizuno S23 Copper Cobalt Wedge uses "Grain Flow Forged HD" technology. One-piece Grain Flow Forged HD from 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel at Mizuno's iconic facility in Hiroshima, Japan – where Mizuno irons have been produced since 1968. It is a carbon steel that is 30% stronger than alternatives. Also, as a result of forging versus casting the wedge, it has a softer feel and can be bent to accomodate different lie angles if you need that sort of thing.
Another key feature of the S23 Copper Cobalt Wedge is the "Harmonic Impact Technology" (HIT). It involves finely tuning the head geometry to get ideal impact feel and feedback on shots. This technology contributes to consistent spin rates and helps golfers achieve more accurate shots with enhanced touch and precision.
The wedge also incorporates "Quad Cut Grooves," which are precision-milled narrow/deep grooves optimized for stronger lofts and wide/shallow grooves optimized for higher lofts. The grooves are designed to conform to the USGA and R&A regulations while providing exceptional grip on the ball. This helps to generate high spin rates and consistent stopping power, particularly on approach shots and chips, enhancing the player's ability to control the ball's flight and land it softly on the green.
Design-wise, the Mizuno S23 Copper Cobalt Wedge has a striking copper cobalt finish that not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also provides durability and resistance to wear. The clubhead's compact shape with a teardrop profile offers a clean look at address and inspires confidence in shot-making. The overall design combines advanced technology with a visually appealing finish, making the S23 Copper Cobalt Wedge a reliable and high-performing choice for golfers seeking improved spin, control, and versatility in their short game.
