Mizuno has the unique modular M.Craft X family that’s ideal for players looking to have lots of flexibility in their putter build. Now with the Z-hosel and two distinctive rear shapes they have entered the zero torque arena while retaining options for the putter construction.
The zero torque idea centers around having a putter that keeps the face square to the stroke’s arc rather than opening and closing from back stroke through follow through. Mizuno, as do other putter makers accomplish this aid to accuracy by weighting the putter head appropriately and ensuring the shaft aligns with the head’s center of gravity.
