Who it’s for: Golfers who value proven Mizuno iron and wedge performance but prefer a different visual style.
What you should know: Mizuno is adding new Black Ion and Denim Copper finishes to select irons and wedges, giving players more aesthetic choices without altering the feel, forgiveness, or performance of the original designs.
The deep dive: Mizuno isn’t in the habit of changing a winning formula, but the company knows that sometimes golfers want to put their own visual stamp on their gear. This fall, three of Mizuno’s most in-demand models—the JPX 925 Hot Metal irons, the Mizuno Pro T-1 wedge, and the Mizuno Pro T-3 wedge—are getting fresh finish options designed to give players more aesthetic choices without altering the performance characteristics that made these clubs popular in the first place.
When the JPX 925 Hot Metal irons debuted last summer, they brought together cast Nickel Chromoly 4335 cup face design with a variable-thickness CORTECH hitting area and strategic tungsten weighting in the 4–7 irons. The design delivered increased ball speeds, consistent gapping, and a higher launch, while topline ribs helped to improve sound and feel. Those traits remain unchanged in the new Black Ion version, but the darker finish reduces glare and adds a stealth-like appearance that fits well with the technology-driven profile.
The Mizuno Pro T-1 wedge has been the company’s flagship for precision shot-making since its January launch. Forged in Japan from 1025E mild carbon steel using Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forged HD process, the T-1 features a copper underlay for added softness at impact and is available in six grind options to handle virtually any course condition. The new Denim Copper finish, available exclusively in the United States, nods to classic wedge styling while toning down glare at address. It creates a more traditional look that pairs well with the club’s tour-inspired shaping.
For golfers who prefer more forgiveness in their scoring clubs, the Pro T-3 wedge offers a shallow cavity back with a slightly longer head shape to improve stability on off-center strikes. Like the T-1, it features Mizuno’s Quad Cut grooves and Hydroflow micro grooves, the same copper underlay, and is available in multiple sole grinds. Now finished in Black Ion, the T-3 gains a bolder, more modern appearance that can be especially appealing in bright light or on firm turf, where the darker surface offers a crisp contrast at setup.
Whether it’s the stealth of Black Ion or the warmth of Denim Copper, these new finish options let players tailor the look of their irons and wedges without sacrificing the feel, spin, control and forgiveness that define Mizuno’s current lineup.
