What the differences mean
The S23 offers the wider selection: 12 loft/bounce/grind combinations against 11 for the Pro T-3. The S23 also has the deeper grind catalogue: 4 sole grinds against 3.
The S23 is sold from 46° to 60°, the Pro T-3 from 46° to 60°. Only the Pro T-3 comes in 48°.
The scoring lofts are where bounce and grind choice matters most: at 56° both offer 2 options; at 58° the S23 offers 3 options to 2; at 60° the S23 offers 2 options to 1. More options at a degree means more ways to match the sole to your turf and swing, which is what a wedge fitting actually selects.
The Pro T-3 arrived 2 years after the S23 as its replacement. Wedge generations usually carry over the core loft ladder and adjust the grind catalogue, groove spec and finishes, so the older model is the value buy while stock lasts — the trade-off is the newer grooves, which matter more the more you play.
Which should you choose?
The Pro T-3 is the newer generation, so it carries the current groove spec and the fuller retail availability; the S23 is the value buy while closeout and used stock lasts. The option chart above is the tiebreaker — if the exact loft, bounce and grind you play is only in one of them, that decides it.
Both option charts are reproduced in full on their own pages: Mizuno S23 specs and Mizuno Pro T-3 specs.
