Mizuno M-Craft X S5 Golf Putter

Mizuno · £279

A forged blade putter with a clean topline, shown from above.

Worth being NRY provisional

A forged putter body at two hundred and seventy-nine pounds, which is the cheapest serious putter here and arguably the best feel in the category. Mizuno forge their irons and apply the same process to this, and forging a putter is unusual: most are cast or milled. What you are paying for is the sensation at impact, which on a putter is most of what the club does.

For
Anyone who wants to feel the ball come off the face and dislikes an insert.
Not for
A player who needs a large mallet to aim. This is a blade and it asks you to aim it.

What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
