M-Craft Three

The M-Craft Three is the mallet of the M-Craft line, a face-balanced mid-mallet built from 1025 carbon steel with a milled face, according to golfalot.com. Head weight is verified at 355 grams, per pluggedingolf.com. Golfalot.com describes deep face milling and a sole weight kit of interchangeable 3 gram or 13 gram weights against a standard 8 gram fitting, and lists finish options of White Satin, Blue Ion, and Black Iron with a Lamkin cord grip. Pluggedingolf.com corroborates the finish choices as White Satin, Blue ION, or Black ION and the weight kit as 3 and 13 gram inserts, describing the shape as symmetrical, round, and face-balanced.

Where the two outlets diverge is on what the mallet shape actually buys the player. Golfalot.com found the Three felt a little better than the two blades in the line, noting that bigger head shapes like this do typically produce slightly more of a duller feel and so it seemed to suit the shaping a little more, and credited it with extra forgiveness on longer putts from slightly higher moi. Pluggedingolf.com pushed back hard on both counts, reporting the Three as no more forgiving than the 1 or 2 despite its size, and describing the feel as closer in feel to 2 and got noticeably firmer on mishits rather than softer. Pluggedingolf.com also flagged the shoulder proportions specifically, writing I found 3 to be a head scratcher. I can't recall seeing this style of putter with shoulders this small ever before, and I found it very jarring.

Pricing sits at £249 per golfalot.com and $300 per pluggedingolf.com, both attributed to the outlets rather than confirmed on the maker's own page. Set against the rest of the M-Craft line, the Three reads as the mallet experiment of the group, a design reviewers agree looks and feels distinct from the 1 and 2, without agreement on whether that distinction pays off on the green.
