Mizuno M.Craft X putters: 3 things to know

Normally, when you buy a putter, aside from the loft, lie and length, you’re pretty much stuck with the same configuration you bought.

But with Mizuno M.Craft X putters, you can purchase multiple parts to your putter and interchange them freely as much as you want.

Here are three things to know about Mizuno M.Craft X putters.

1. Fully adjustable and interchangeable putter

Mizuno has been able to capture a pretty significant market share in putters thanks to the latest releases of forged M.Craft and M.Craft OMOI putters.

But other than adjustable weights, there weren’t very many customization options.

With M.Craft X, customization is the name of the game thanks to a new design that allows you to screw together three different face assemblies — each with a different neck — and three different backs to create the exact mid-mallet putter you’re looking for.

“We made it a point to, how can we make this as adjustable as possible while not losing any feel or not having too many parts of it get complicated?” Chris Voshall, Mizuno’s head of product, told GOLF. “There’s other adjustable putters out there where you can screw on that screw or change the weight and stuff like that, but all of them have a ton of different parts and the more parts you have the more your feel is going to be affected because each separate part is going to adjust the way the head vibrates and how true and how long it vibrates.”

There are different neck designs, all attached to forged and milled face: the plumber, slant and bend (P, S and B), along with three back shapes: Four (a more angled square back), Five (a round back) and Six (a wing shape).

To make things easier for the consumer and preserve the feel, the only parts needed are S face and S back, which are held together by the adjustable weight screws.

”So every other putter, it’s like a weight screw that lives in a body that then has to be screwed to the face, so it’s all these extra parts that are super complicated,” Voshall said. “Literally the only parts of ours are the front, the back and weights.”

It also makes it valuable for players who purchase the putter then decide they want to make an adjustment later. If they like the neck style, they can keep the face and only buy a new back, or vice versa.

2. Mallet-like stability, blade-like feel

Thanks to the forward position of the adjustable weights and the aluminum construction of the backs, the M.Craft X putters have a more blade-like feel to them.

The larger head and the weights themselves help increase MOI, making these putters just as forgiving as larger mallets. This makes them perfect options for blade users who are looking to get the benefits of a more-forgiving design while still retaining an arcing stroke.

3. Mizuno forged feel

As one would expect from Mizuno, the face and neck are forged from a single piece of 1025 steel to ensure the same classic Mizuno feel the company is known for. The face is then CNC milled to ensure optimal roll characteristics to help players with speed control.
