Mizuno has a long history of producing excellent putters, frequently through collaborations with some of the biggest names in the putter business, with TP Mills, Bettinardi, and even Scotty Cameron all at one time associated with manufacturing putters under the Mizuno brand. However, it’s been a while since the MP Series and Line 90 putters came out in 2013, so the brand’s return to this sector of the equipment market is as welcome as it is overdue.
And they’ve come at it with a premium range called M.Craft. Forged from 1025 mild carbon steel, and deep CNC milled to create precise shape, enhanced roll and soft feel, the M.CRAFT putters will be available from March in three head designs.
The M.CRAFT I is a square-back blade with mid-slant neck and maximum toe-hang, and is designed for those players with an exaggerated putting arc. The M.CRAFT II is a classic heel-toe blade with plumber’s neck and mid toe-hang and is best suited to those with a moderate arc to their stroke. The M.CRAFT III is a face-balanced mid-mallet offering stability for those with a mild putting arc.
Weighing 355g, each putter head features two 8g weight inserts that can be switched out with a kit that includes two 3g weights and two 13g weights, enabling the overall head weight to be adjusted to suit player preferences and a variety of putting conditions.
Each head is offered in White Satin, Blue ION or Black ION finishes. They are fitted with a Nippon Original shaft, and a Lamkin Deep Etched Full Blue cord grip, and Mizuno M.Craft branded putter head cover.
