Mizuno MP CRAFT F145 Fairway Woods

Short game option using same alignment technology as Odyssey Marxman putters with polymer insert, longer grip and hybrid sole design. Engineered to function like an approach putter with 37 degreees of loft and full shaft offset. Available in right-hand only with 35-inch shaft.

As one of the first to break the news of Odyssey dipping both its heel and toe into the world of 'chippers for chokers' - I feel a responsibility to have given the Marxman X-ACT putting wedge a serious testing.

Perhaps not the best time of year to review a piece of equipment, in cold and wet conditions, but when one of the world's leading manufacturers of Tour-level putters says it has spotted a gap in the market - albeit tiny - and decides it needs to fill it with a quality product, you have to take notice.
