Mizuno Announces Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi: The 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 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 profile preferred by tour players.

Enlarged Face Enhances Distance

At the core of the new Fli-Hi is 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 coefficient of restitution (COR), enabling explosive distance without sacrificing control.

To optimize launch conditions, Mizuno strategically positioned 26 grams of tungsten low and back in the clubhead. This precise weighting geometry not only raises 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, this creates a thinner topline that maintains structural integrity while generating additional speed at impact.

Focus on Feel

As with all clubs in the Mizuno Pro series, the Fli-Hi emphasizes feel. Thanks to Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Technology, precisely engineered internal ribs fine-tune vibration frequencies to produce a solid, tour-validated impact sensation. The acoustic profile has been adapted from earlier Fli-Hi models to maintain feedback continuity while implementing subtle refinements 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 face with extremely high strength delivers explosive ball speeds, while the untreated, softer body allows adjustments to loft and lie angles. This enables tour fitters to tailor performance precisely to individual player preferences.

Visually, the Fli-Hi features a new gun-metal satin finish that underscores its technical character and reduces distracting reflections at address. The ball is framed cleanly, conveying 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 link between precise long irons and powerful hybrids. It targets players who demand distance and forgiveness without compromising feel, control, or aesthetics. With its tour-proven shaping and innovative engineering, the latest Fli-Hi has the potential to become a new favorite among Mizuno players.
