最新消息，全新Mizuno MP R-12 挖起杆将在9月份上市。此款挖起杆旨在帮球手轻松实现铁杆和挖起杆之间的无缝搭配。

　　我们知道杆面角度小的挖起杆和大杆面角挖起杆之间的杆底打磨方式是不同的。比如 50°的距离杆采用的是三面研磨(triple cut)杆底设计，杆底前缘和后缘都是倾斜的。这种杆底设计能让挖起杆延续铁杆打的手感和性能。正如Mizuno研发部总监Llewellyn所说，MP R-12的最大优点在于它就像11号铁一样好用。

　　56° 和 58°挖起杆的采用的是C型打磨杆底，把杆底反弹角从杆头趾部移到了趾部，这样能有效避免啃地，让球手更容易的在沙坑和长草击球。趾部和根部的反弹角逐渐变大，力求在各种球位下都能应对自如。

　　另外，Mizuno的工程师通过仔细研究发现对于杆面度数小的挖起杆沟槽越深越窄越容易产生倒旋。因此MP R-12 的距离杆(50°- 54°)采用的花式沟槽(QUAD CUT GROOVES)技术和56-64°挖起杆之间的略有不同。

　　Llewellyn说：“距离果岭越近，比如30，40或者50码的劈起球，沟槽越宽越浅产生的倒旋越多。”

　　MP R-12挖起杆的标配杆身是True Temper的DG Spinner，有银头和黑头两种款式。

　　定价：120美元

　　The new Mizuno MP R-12 wedges, which are set to arrive in pro shops in early September, have two unique features that should appeal to golfers who are trying to seamlessly blend their irons and wedges.

　　First, the sole grinds on stronger-lofted wedges are different from the sole grinds on the higher-lofted models. For example, the 50° gap wedge has a “triple cut” sole design that features a beveled leading edge, the sole itself and then a beveled trailing edge. This sole design makes the wedge behave and feel like an extension of your irons.

　　"If there is one thing that this club is good at, it's being an 11-iron," said David Llewellyn, manager of research and development for Mizuno Golf.

　　The 56° and 58° wedges have a modified C grind that removes bounce from the toe but leaves it in the heel to help golfers get out of the sand and rough more easily and stop the club from digging. The bounce in the toe and the heel is aggressively ground off the MP R-12 long wedges to maximize versatility.

　　In addition, by studying full and half shots closely, Llewellyn and Mizuno engineers discovered that a narrower and deeper groove is more effective at creating spin on stronger-lofted wedges. Armed with that information, they built the MP R-12 gap wedges (50°-54°) with a slightly different version of the company's Quad Cut grooves than the higher-lofted wedges (56-64°).

　　"The closer you get to the greens, like on a 30-, 40- or 50-yard pitch shot, the shallower and wider grooves actually give you more bite," Llewellyn says.

　　The MP R-12 wedges will come standard with True Temper's new DG Spinner shaft and will be available in either a satin chrome or black nickel finish for $120.
