Mizuno Announces 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 introduces the latest member of its acclaimed 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 Delivers Greater Distance

At the heart 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 entire face. A multi-layered face, optimized through detailed computer-aided engineering (CAE) analyses, further boosts maximum COR, enabling explosive distance without sacrificing control.

To optimize launch conditions, Mizuno strategically placed 26 grams of tungsten low and deep in the clubhead. This precise weighting geometry not only increases the maximum ball flight trajectory 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 created that maintains structural strength while generating additional speed at impact.

Focus on Feel

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

The Fli-Hi also marks a structural milestone as Mizuno’s first iron with Nickel Chromoly 4335+ Hollow-Body technology. The heat-treated face with extremely high strength 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 features a new gunmetal satin finish that highlights its technical nature while reducing distracting reflections at address. The ball is cleanly framed, creating the impression of a more compact, confidence-inspiring clubhead.

Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi Bridges Long Irons and Hybrids

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