These components can be combined to adjust factors including balance, toe hang, alignment, appearance and overall feel.<\/p>\n<p>The new Z-Neck introduces a Zero Torque option to the range. It positions the shaft axis through the putter\u2019s centre of gravity, which is designed to reduce twisting during the stroke and help the face remain square to the path.<\/p>\n<p>Its addition allows Mizuno to offer Zero Torque performance within the existing interchangeable platform while retaining the feel and more traditional shaping associated with the M.CRAFT family.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-100348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/MCraft-X_Apart_3Z-1-590x551.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"551\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Two new back designs have also joined the range, taking the total number of interchangeable options to five. Each provides a different appearance at address and distinct alignment characteristics, allowing golfers to select the way the putter frames the ball.<\/p>\n<p>For PGA professionals and specialist retailers, the expanded component range creates additional opportunities to fit golfers according to their stroke and visual preferences without moving outside the M.CRAFT X family.<\/p>\n<p>Every model uses a one-piece face and neck forged from 1025E mild carbon steel. The face is subsequently CNC milled to support consistent roll, speed control and impact feedback.<\/p>\n<p>A precision-milled aluminium back is combined with the forged steel front section. This multi-material construction allows weight to be positioned around the head to increase stability and forgiveness while retaining the responsive feel associated with a blade putter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-100349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/M.CRAFT-X-2026-9-1-590x392.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The interchangeable design means the different necks, backs and weight configurations can be used to build a putter around an individual golfer\u2019s preferred balance, alignment and performance characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Full putter set-up:\u00a0\u00a3429 | \u20ac429 | SEK\u00a04,895<br \/>Front piece:\u00a0\u00a3289 | \u20ac289 | SEK 3,000<br \/>Back piece:\u00a0\u00a3100 | \u20ac100 | SEK 1,300<br \/>Weights:\u00a0\u00a340 | \u20ac40 | SEK 595<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit golf.mizunoeurope.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mizuno has expanded its M.CRAFT X putter platform with a new Z-Neck and two additional back designs, increasing&hellip;","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_volume":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[97,98],"class_list":["post-9948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mizuno-golf","tag-mizuno","tag-mizuno-golf","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/vive.im\/@fogolf\/117269708409447276","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
