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

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

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

Enlarged Face Enhances Distance

At the core of the new Fli-Hi lies Mizuno’s most advanced face construction yet. The Contoured Ellipse CORTECH design increases the effective hitting area by 37%, resulting in higher ball speeds and more consistent performance across the entire face. A multi-thickness face, optimized through detailed Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis, further boosts the maximum coefficient of restitution (COR), allowing explosive distance without sacrificing control.

To optimize launch conditions, Mizuno strategically placed 26 grams of tungsten deep and far back in the clubhead. This precise weighting geometry not only increases the maximum ball flight but also enhances stability and forgiveness. Combined with Mizuno’s innovative L-face geometry—a groundbreaking welding technique that increases sole flexibility—a thinner topline is achieved that maintains structural strength while generating additional speed at impact.

Focus on Feel

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

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

Visually, the Fli-Hi impresses with a new gunmetal satin finish that not only emphasizes its technical character but also reduces distracting reflections at address. The ball is cleanly framed, giving the impression of a more compact, confidence-inspiring clubhead.

Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi Bridges Irons and Hybrids

The Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi forms the ideal bridge between precise long irons and powerful hybrids. It is aimed at players seeking distance and forgiveness without compromises on feel, control, or aesthetics. With its tour-proven shaping and pioneering engineering, the latest Fli-Hi has the potential to become a new favorite among Mizuno players.
