The bang for the buck given the quality is pretty stunning
Mizuno Putter Review
Great article James. Looking forward to your feedback.
The V is my favorite of the group. That head shape (V) really makes the blue look deep.

Good stuff.
I have not rolled the V yet, but the III is just about the best putter I've ever tried. Really hard not to pull the trigger.
I like the shape of the V but that toe hang probably isn't great for me.
Cool writeup.

I don't know if you like the "Wing" style mallets or not, but the VI is a great example of that style, looks incredible, and is face-balanced.Good stuff.

I actually use this style right now. This is the one I was most excited about when I saw it was being released.I don't know if you like the "Wing" style mallets or not, but the VI is a great example of that style, looks incredible, and is face-balanced.
I actually tried it side by side with the III and was actually disappointed that the III beat it for me because the wing is my preferred shape
EDIT: actually, I just realized I put a lot of "actually " in that post. I don't actually say actually that much. Actually.
Actually

Loved reading this, big fella. I am so enamored of the blue and the VI but face balanced isn’t something I’ve used before.

Appreciate the kind words from all of you who have given this one a read.
It continues to be a bright spot for me, and one that’s pretty much taken over the bag outside of other ongoing reviews. I didn’t expect to like them to be honest, but when I saw and rolled this one in the THP Club Lab, I was pretty stunned, and that continued through the length of the review period and now beyond.

I think these would surprise you. There’s enough shape options now too there should be something in there that comfortable to look at.
ok so i have been putting soooo consistently with this III Mizzy that I have here. The satin is sooo pure and the roll / feel amazing each and every time I know what to expect.
I plan to try if I can find one DC area

Interesting. Definitely curious to see if the shaft plays any role in the feel dept.

I know many out there hate on putter shafts, but the tech and reasons are very real. If you want a starting point, check out the homepage, we have reviewed almost every putter shaft on the market!

Prepare to be infatuated.Well the V is mine
I mean I’ve gone in and out of my golf store like four times this past month just hitting the Mizuno putters and I finally succumbed to my want haha.
i’m loving the blue color. I almost got the black but figured the blue stands out more and that’s typically how I feel ha ha so it’s gonna be fun

Yeah. I can't get it out of my head.
If I don't get picked for the MC, that'll free up some cash so I think I'm gonna grab one. They are SO good.

First round yesterday with the putter. Holy cow. Outside in the real world this thing looks freaking phenomenal. While I still need to change out the grip, I made due and I have no complaints about this thing.
the feel was super good. Felt softish, but had density to it as well. Roll was good for the most part. Only time I noticed a lot of skidding was due to my stroke on a few putts. Forgiveness wise..... it could be better for an almost mallet but it’s not something that would knock it out of my bag.
I placed the heavier weights in due to me wanting to even out my stroke. I noticed in the store and at home that with the 8g weights, my stroke was a little iffy. Not super smooth and kind of shaky. The heavier head weight definitely helped that.
A couple negatives though. The headcover..... beautiful indeed, but I need magnet closure man haha. Also I feel like it could be slightly bigger or have a cut by the hose to allow the head to go a little deeper into it. Second negative was I felt like the ball was coming off much softer/less speed than my Byron Morgan and I was having issues getting the ball to the hole on longer putts. Now that can be from a lot of different variables. My stroke could have been off, not being super comfortable with grip, etc. so probably not the putter itself but it was noticeable.
overall I’m very happy. Made a lot of putts yesterday. Was seeing lines and Hitting them very well also.

Man, I adore the headcover. But people’s hate of Velcro always makes me laugh.
In terms of forgiveness, a one piece milled mid mallet is never going to offer what a full mallet does, ya know? But I’m also in the camp that people don’t typically “miss” with a putter as much as we think we do.
Looking forward to continued thoughts.
