All-new 2020 Mizuno M-Craft putters

Published

on

For the first time in a long time, Mizuno is giving golfers the opportunity to play Mizuno clubs entirely from top to bottom in their sets with the reintroduction of a putter line for 2020—the Mizuno M-Craft.

Like mentioned off the top, it’s been a while since you’ve been able to find a Mizuno putter in North America, and the last time you could, the Mizuno name didn’t stand alone. At one point in time, Mizuno has worked with some great putter designers, from Scotty Cameron (yes, that Scotty Cameron), to T.P Mills, and Bettinardi. Each line was considered a success but never had the mass appeal or caught on as anyone had hoped.

Cameron moved on to Titleist to become the juggernaut he is today, T.P Mills went back to focusing on smaller runs, and Bettinardi took the step and successfully branched out under their own singular brand after their partnership agreement ended. All were great products, but Mizuno felt now was the time to go all-in on creating a classic line of putters to cater to the Mizuno Player.

Three Putters, One Story

The M-Craft Putter Line consists of Mizuno designers putting their own take on three classic head styles; The Anser, slant-neck, and face-balanced mid-mallet. Sticking with refining those classic shapes will garner the most eyes and improve the likelihood of golfers to try it out.

Mizuno M-CRAFT I – Slant Neck

Mizuno M-Craft II – Anser Style

M-CRAFT III – Mid Mallet

They will also come in 3 different finish options too; Satin Chrome, Mizuno Blue, & Black.

Construction & Technology

Mizuno irons are known for their classic feel, and they are bringing the same philosophy of design to the M-Craft Putters. Milled from solid blocks of forged 1025 Steel, the faces are deeper milled to produce a soft yet solid sound at impact.

The technology story behind the putters is straight forward and that’s okay because we’re talking about a milled putter and not a multi-material 460cc driver after all. There is head weight adjustability, and its something Mizuno is very excited about since unlike other putter companies, the M-Craft kit comes completely stock with any putter. This gives the golfer the opportunity to fine-tune head weight as well as causing slight changes to toe hang.

The final touches are a Lamkin Deep Etched Grip, and a cover that takes its cues from the classic Mizuno lineage of colors, for a trip down design memory lane.

The Mizuno M-Craft putters will be $299.99, and are available for pre-order January 21st, and will be found at retail locations starting February 14.

    I am shocked no one came into this comment section and say it looks like a PING or Odyssey just like every other club that comes out.

    These look great and they feel terrific. The feel of the putt is soft but reacts off the putter just right. I am getting the III shortly.

    Does the market really need another scottie cameron putter at $300?

      Since the Scotty Cameron putters are $400, perhaps the answer is “why not?” 🙂

    Toe hang still dominantly influenced by hosel placement that orients the shaft relative to heel-to-toe alignment..

    I NEVER thought I would putt with something from Mizuno. If the feel is anything comparable to the irons, I’m in.

    Wow, minimal stamping, clean face, and adjustable weights included… some other folks need to TAKE NOTES! Very excited to see how these feel. Hopefully my local golf shop gets these. If anything, that headcover will be in my bag.

    I can’t wait. I’ll be putting a nice blue one in my bag. I loved the old Mizuno Carbon line by Bettinardi. These look better.

    Is it just me or are the bumpers uneven? On the M-1 the toe bumper looks thicker. Then on the M-2 the heel bumper looks thicker.

      No I think you’re quite right.

      On a properly designed putter, that is often the case.
      The toe features are generally larger than the heel features, otherwise, at address is looks like the heel is bigger than the toe (based on perspective).

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
