OVERALL RATING ★★★★

• The Pro T3 is a player- friendly cavity-back shape with a slightly larger head, more offset and wider sole than the T1. • You don’t need to be a tour pro to appreciate a soft-feeling wedge. Mizuno has replaced the firmer boron steel used in previous wedges with a cushy carbon steel. • Narrower and deeper grooves on the lower- lofted wedges promote plenty of spin on full- swing shots. • Top 5 in Sound/Feel, middle-handicaps • 11 options (46-60 degrees), 3 grinds, 1 finish

• The heads are milled to the final shape for precise sole grinds, bounce angles and shape consistency. • Wider grooves channel debris and allow the cover of the ball to engage with the grooves better, enhancing spin and trajectory control. • Tighter groove spacing allows one more groove (16 compared to 15 on the Sugar Daddy II) for slightly more edge grab. • Top 5 in Sound/Feel, high-handicaps • 6 options (50-60 degrees), 3 grinds, 2 finishes
