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

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

Mizuno proudly presents the latest addition to its renowned Mizuno Pro family: the Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi. As a tour-tested utility long iron, the Fli-Hi was developed to deliver higher ball speeds, higher launch, and refined workability, all in a compact profile favored by tour players.

Enlarged Face Delivers Better 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 the maximum COR, enabling explosive distance without sacrificing control.

To optimize launch conditions, Mizuno strategically positioned 26 grams of tungsten low and far back in the clubhead. This precise weighting geometry not only increases the maximum trajectory but also enhances stability and forgiveness. Combined with Mizuno’s innovative L-Face geometry, a groundbreaking welding technique that increases sole flexibility, the Fli-Hi features 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 tune vibration frequencies to deliver a solid, tour-validated impact sensation. The acoustic profile has been adapted to previous Fli-Hi models to ensure continuity in feedback while implementing fine adjustments demanded by tour players.

The Fli-Hi also marks a construction milestone as the first Mizuno iron with 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, enabling tour fitters to precisely tailor performance to individual player preferences.

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

Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi: The Bridge Between Irons and Hybrids

The Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi forms the ideal bridge between precision 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, this latest Fli-Hi has the potential to become another favorite among Mizuno players.
