Mizuno M Craft X S5 Putter

S5 is the short slant mallet, which lands at moderate toe hang in the middle of Mizuno's size ladder. Everything except the hosel matches the face-balanced B5 and the plumber's-necked P5 exactly, so the three of them make a clean demonstration of what a neck actually does to a putter. Forged 1025 carbon steel, black, two lengths, right hand.

Same head, three amounts of rotation. That's a rarer thing to find in a catalogue than it ought to be, since most brands vary the shape and the neck together and leave a golfer unable to tell which change they're reacting to. Mizuno keeping the variables separate is the quiet virtue of this range. It also means a fitting here is quick, because there's only ever one question to answer.
