Mizuno ES21
54°, 56°, 58°, 60°
Our take: A hollow-body wedge is not the type of scoring club we’ve come to expect from Mizuno, but consider us among the true believers of the ES21’s awe-inspiring technology and surprisingly efficient performance. According to a recent tester, “The weighting is amazing. I felt as though I always knew where the head was during the entire swing.” It looks like a traditional wedge but read below and you’ll quickly see it’s far from it.

The details: Featuring a hollow-body construction made of 431 stainless steel, the ES21 has a higher and deeper CG for a more controlled ballflight and a Grain Flow Forged clubface with Quad-Cut milled grooves and laser-cut Hydroflow Micro Grooves that combine for tremendous spin. It’s as high-tech as you can get with a wedge, all without compromising a versatile shape that makes it easy to use for open-faced lob and sand shots.
