Mizuno Golf T20 Wedge Review: PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway

I'm a wedge freak.  I have countless models, lofts, grinds, and even designs.  The short game is what it's all about for me.  And few things in golf are more satisfying than sticking an approach right on the pin, or escaping from what seems to be an impossible lie in the sand or rough.  

 

The right wedge can improve your scores immediately, and make the game more fun than you ever before imagined.  And the new Mizuno T20 wedges are the gold standard for scoring and fun.  Feel is unmatched, spin is spectacular, and they were the most consistently performing wedges I hit this season.
