Mizuno Announces Pro Fli-Hi: The Next Step in Tour Utility Irons

Mizuno announces a new iron. The Pro Fli-Hi features an enlarged face and impressive distance.

Mizuno proudly presents the latest member of its renowned Mizuno Pro family: the Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi. Developed as a tour-tested utility long iron, the Fli-Hi is designed to deliver higher ball speeds, a higher launch, and refined workability, all in a compact, tour-preferred profile.

Enlarged Face Enhances Distance

At the core of the new Fli-Hi is Mizuno’s most advanced face construction to date. The Contoured Ellipse CORTECH design enlarges the effective hitting area by 37%, resulting in higher ball speeds and more consistent performance across the face. A multi-thickness face, optimized through detailed computer-aided engineering (CAE) analyses, further increases maximum COR, enabling explosive length without sacrificing control.

To optimize launch conditions, Mizuno strategically positioned 26 grams of tungsten deep and low in the clubhead. This precise weighting geometry not only raises the maximum ball flight but also adds stability and forgiveness. Combined with Mizuno’s innovative L-Face Geometry—a groundbreaking welding technique that increases sole flexibility—a thinner topline is created, maintaining structural strength while generating added speed at impact.

Focus on Feel

As with all clubs in the Mizuno Pro series, feel remains paramount with the Fli-Hi. Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Technology uses precisely engineered internal ribs to fine-tune vibration frequencies, producing a solid, tour-validated impact feel. The acoustic profile has been adapted from previous Fli-Hi models to ensure consistent feedback while incorporating refinements demanded by tour players.

The Fli-Hi also marks a design milestone as Mizuno’s first iron featuring Nickel Chromoly 4335+ hollow-body technology. The heat-treated, high-strength face delivers explosive ball speeds, while the untreated, softer body allows loft and lie adjustments. This enables tour fitters to precisely tailor performance to individual player preferences.

Visually, the Fli-Hi sports a new gun-metal satin finish that highlights its technical character and reduces distracting glare at address. The ball is cleanly framed, creating the impression of a more compact, confidence-inspiring clubhead.

Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi Bridges Irons and Hybrids

The Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi serves as the perfect bridge between precise long irons and powerful hybrids. It targets players seeking distance and forgiveness without compromising feel, control, or aesthetics. With its tour-tested shape and pioneering engineering, the latest Fli-Hi has the potential to become a favorite among Mizuno players.
