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 introduces the latest member of its renowned Mizuno Pro family: the Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi. As a tour-tested utility long iron, the Fli-Hi is designed to deliver higher ball speeds, a higher launch, and refined workability, all within 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 enlarges the effective hitting area by 37%, resulting in higher ball speeds and more consistent performance across the entire face. A multi-thickness face optimized via detailed computer-aided engineering (CAE) further increases the maximum coefficient of restitution (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 boosts maximum ball flight but also provides additional 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 retains structural strength while generating added speed at impact.

Focus on Feel

As with all clubs in the Mizuno Pro series, feel is central to the Fli-Hi’s design. Using Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Technology, carefully 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 continuity while implementing subtle refinements requested by tour players.

The Fli-Hi also marks a structural milestone as the first Mizuno iron employing Nickel Chromoly 4335+ hollow-body technology. The heat-treated, ultra-strong face generates explosive ball speeds, while the untreated, softer body allows for precise loft and lie adjustments. This enables tour fitters to perfectly tailor performance to individual player preferences.

Visually, the Fli-Hi impresses with a new gun-metal satin finish that emphasizes its technical character and reduces distracting glare at address. The ball is neatly framed, creating the impression of a more compact, confidence-inspiring clubhead.

Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi Bridges the Gap Between Irons and Hybrids

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