Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a slight to strong arc and want a forgiving, well-balanced winged milled mallet with the renowned Mizuno feel and strong alignment.
You want a face-balanced setup, a compact blade, or the softest feel — the face-balanced M.CRAFT VI or a blade suits you better.
Pros
- A deep, winged high-MOI mallet for real stability
- The renowned Mizuno crisp, solid milled feel
- Two sightlines for easy alignment and a removable weight kit
Cons
- Less workable than the M.CRAFT blades
- A deep mallet footprint that not everyone likes
- A crisp rather than the softest feel
By dimension
