What’s new? How much does it cost? And how does it perform? Nicola Slater brings you the low down on the new Mizuno M.Craft X Four Putter
Mizuno have launched a new line of M.Craft putters. The M.Craft X comes with an interchangeable back; great for those golfer’s who like to switch their putters. I tested the style P4. Let’s see how it performs…
Firstly, regardless of the style I love the interchangeable concept. I think it gives so much option to a player.
I tested the P4 version, which has a plumbers neck and a mallet style head shape. This is the sort of head shape I prefer and it sat nicely behind the ball. The overall look was very sleek. The head does come with the option to change the weights, I had the 7’s in and would have probably preferred something slightly heavier.
The lampkin grip was a nice shape and feel. The head cover was also very well designed, looking great and having a magnetic fasten.
PROS
CONS
Mizuno isn’t a brand that I typically think of when it comes it putters, I’m not sure I’ve even tried one of their previous model. Yet, for 2025 they’ve come out with a concept that changes the world of putting. The P4 style of one of nine model options in the new M.Craft X range. Featuring a plumbers neck bend and.a mallet head shape.
Picking this putter up for the first time I really liked how it looked. This is a shape of putter that I enjoy using. The whole thing was pretty much blacked out with the exception of the alignment lines on the top of the head. These were in a contrasting white colour way which made seeing them nice and easy.
The head cover that came with this putter also had a pretty cool design. It was also great quality having a fleece lined inner with a metal fastening.
I was really excited to take this putter out on the course. Firstly, I will say that this putter comes with weights underneath that can be changed. I tested this putter with 7’s at the bottom and the head was probably a little lighter than I’m use to. Nevertheless, I enjoyed how the golf ball felt off the face.
With that said, off the face this putter is a little softer than my current Cleveland. It has a CNC-milled face, which is designed to offer precise consistency across the whole face.
The concept behind the new M.Craft putter’s is that it offers a blade style, more shallow centre of gravity. Meaning a player can have better feel and control. This is combined with a larger head, giving stability that you’d find in a mallet putter.

This putter comes with a blacked out rounded midsize grip which I really liked. It had spongy feel yet was still firm enough to grip nicely.
I have a pretty straight putting stroke but the P4 has 20° of toe hang, meaning it’s more set up for a player with a slight arc. I still holed plenty of putts with it and enjoyed using it.
Overall, I enjoyed using this putter and with some heavier weights in the base I would certainly reach for it again on the greens.
