Where it wins
- Feel88
- Sound86
- Looks86
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a straight stroke and want a highly stable, full face-balanced mallet with the renowned Mizuno feel and easy centre-shaft alignment.
You have an arc stroke, dislike a centre shaft, or want a compact blade — an arc blade or a heel-shafted putter suits you better.
Pros
- A full, face-balanced mallet with high stability from a heavier head
- A responsive forged 1025 milled feel
- A centre shaft that makes squaring the face to the target easy
Cons
- Minimal workability — a dead-straight-stroke tool
- The centre shaft takes getting used to
- A premium price for a putter
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExcellent — a full, face-balanced mallet with a heavier 370-gram head delivers high levels of stability and forgiveness across the face.
Distance
ExcellentA strength — the heavier head and a responsive milled 1025 face give a consistent roll and dependable distance control.
Workability
ModestMinimal — a centre-shafted, face-balanced full mallet built for a dead-straight stroke, not made to shape a putt.
Feel
ExcellentA responsive, solid milled feel — forged 1025 carbon steel gives the renowned Mizuno softness through a milled face.
Sound
ExcellentA soft yet solid note at impact — the milled forged face gives a pleasing, muted sound without harshness.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean full mallet — the centre shaft takes getting used to but makes aligning squarely to the target easy.
