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

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

Mizuno proudly presents the latest member of its renowned Mizuno Pro family: the Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi. This tour-proven utility long iron is designed to deliver higher ball speeds, a higher launch, and refined workability, all packed into a compact profile favored by tour players.

Expanded Face Enhances Distance

At the core of the new Fli-Hi is 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 face. A multi-thickness face optimized through detailed Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis further boosts the maximum COR, enabling explosive distance without sacrificing control.

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

Focus on Feel

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

The Fli-Hi also marks a technological milestone as Mizuno’s first iron featuring Nickel Chromoly 4335+ hollow-body technology. The heat-treated face offers exceptional strength for 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.

The Fli-Hi’s new gun-metal satin finish not only underscores its technical character but also reduces distracting glare at address, framing the ball cleanly to give the impression of a more compact, confidence-inspiring clubhead.

Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi Bridges Irons and Hybrids

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