Where it wins
- Feel88
- Looks87
- Sound86
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a slightly arcing stroke and want a wider, more stable milled blade — a natural step for a blade player moving toward a mallet.
You want a face-balanced setup, full mallet MOI, or a compact classic blade — the M.CRAFT VI or a traditional blade suits you better.
Pros
- A wider heel-toe blade body for more stability than a classic blade
- The renowned Mizuno crisp, solid milled feel
- A removable weight kit and blade-to-mallet transition appeal
Cons
- Still a blade, so less MOI than a mallet
- A moderate toe hang won't suit a straight stroke
- A crisp rather than the softest feel
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongGood for a blade — a wider heel-toe body lifts stability over a classic blade, ideal for a blade player moving toward a mallet.
Distance
StrongDependable — a deeply milled forged 1025 carbon-steel face rolls the ball smoothly for consistent, reliable distance control.
Workability
FairWorkable — a short slant neck with moderate toe hang suits a slightly arcing stroke, releasing well through impact.
Feel
ExcellentA crisp, solid milled feel — forged 1025 carbon steel lets you feel each putt off the face at impact.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, solid note at impact — the forged milled face gives clean, clear feedback on the strike.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, wide-body blade with a single sightline — a tidy, modern shape offered in three finishes including blue ION.
