The Mizuno M.Craft X 6 putter is a revolutionary addition to the market, especially considering the recent trend towards zero-torque putters. With a price point of $399/£429, it may seem on the higher end, but the customization options make it a worthwhile investment. The M.Craft X range offers three different mallet models, each with three hosel types to cater to different strokes and alignment preferences. Despite the hosel not being removable from the face, the backs of the putters can be changed, allowing golfers to fine-tune their setup.
Golfers can further customize their putter by purchasing additional backs and weight kits to dial in their specifications. The option to purchase a new face and hosel configuration is also available, albeit at a higher cost. The M.Craft X 6 model, with its fang shape and high MOI, is a standout in the range, offering stability and a ‘clicky’ feel through impact. The CNC milled face is forged from a single piece of 1025 steel, providing a premium look and feel.
The lack of alignment aids on the top of the putter may appeal to those who struggle with traditional sight-lines, while the black heads and shafts give the range a sleek and premium aesthetic. The Lamkin Sink Fit grip adds to the overall feel of the putter, with a nod to Mizuno’s founding year etched into the pattern. Overall, the Mizuno M.Craft X range is a solid choice for golfers looking to upgrade their putter and experiment with different configurations.
