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

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

Mizuno proudly presents the latest addition to 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 packed in a compact profile favored by tour players.

Enlarged Face Enhances Distance

At the core of the new Fli-Hi lies Mizuno’s most advanced face construction to date. The Contoured Ellipse CORTECH design increases 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 boosts maximum COR, enabling explosive distance without sacrificing control.

To optimize launch conditions, Mizuno has precisely placed 26 grams of tungsten low and deep in the clubhead. This targeted weighting geometry not only increases 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—this creates a thinner topline 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 produce a solid, tour-validated feel at impact. The acoustic profile has been adapted from earlier Fli-Hi models to ensure consistent feedback while implementing subtle refinements demanded by tour players.

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

Aesthetically, the Fli-Hi features a new gunmetal satin finish that not only highlights the technical character but also reduces distracting reflections at address. The ball is cleanly framed, conveying the impression of a more compact and confidence-inspiring clubhead.

Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi: Bridging Irons and Hybrids

The Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi forms the ideal bridge between precise long irons and powerful hybrids. It targets players demanding distance and forgiveness without compromising feel, control, or aesthetics. With its tour-proven shaping and groundbreaking engineering, the latest Fli-Hi has the potential to become a favorite among Mizuno players.
