Mizuno M.Craft X putters: 3 things to know

Normally, when you buy a barrel, other than loft, lie and length, you’re pretty much stuck with the same setup you bought.

But with Mizuno M.Craft X machines, you can buy many parts in your machine and change them as freely as you want.

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

1. Fully adjustable and interchangeable

Mizuno has been able to capture a fairly significant portion of the barrel market, thanks to the latest releases of counterfeits. M. Craft AND M.Craft OMOI the throwers.

But aside from the adjustable weights, there weren’t many customization options.

with M.Craft Xcustomization is the name of the game thanks to a new design that lets you stitch together three different face assemblies—each with a different neck—and three different backs to create exactly the middle hammer gauge you’re looking for.

“We made this point, how can we make this as customizable as possible without losing any feel or having too many complicated parts of it?” Chris Voshall, head of product at Mizuno, told GOLF. “There are other adjustable strings out there where you can screw that screw or change the weight and things like that, but they all have a bunch of different parts and the more parts you have, the more your feel is going to be affected because each a separate part will regulate how the head vibrates and how true and how long it vibrates.

There are different neck designs, all attached to the forged and milled face: plumb, beveled and bowed (P, S and B), along with three back shapes: Four (a square back with an angle) , Five (a round back) and Six (a wing shape).

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

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

It also makes it worthwhile for players who buy the warehouse and then decide they want to do a fix later. If they like the neck style, they can keep the face and just buy a new back, or vice versa.

2. Hammer-like stability, blade-like feel

Thanks to the forward position of the adjustable weights and the aluminum construction of the rear parts, the M.Craft X pawls have a more blade-like feel.

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

3. Mizuno feel fake

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