There’s no denying that zero-torque putters have been the center of attention in the market over the last few years. When I heard Mizuno was releasing a new putter, I automatically assumed they were going to follow suit. I was wrong. In fact, the new Mizuno M.Craft X 6 putter is somewhat revolutionary in its own way.

The Mizuno M.Craft X putter range will come to retail at a fairly punchy $399/£429 which may initially deter a lot of golfers but there is more to this putter and the M.Craft X range than first meets the eye. I see a lot of golfers searching for bargains when it comes to a flatstick.
