The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Ray Cook M1-X is a variant of the Ray Cook M1, per thehackersparadise.com, which credits the design to Kia Ma. That same source describes the M1-X as built around a modified hosel design and shaft bend, distinguishing it from the base M1 at the level of geometry rather than head shape or finish.
thehackersparadise.com quotes Kia Ma on the putter's origins: "Nobody asked me to come up with this design. I was just playing around and I created a putter that went on to be very successful." That account also frames the M1-X as commercially successful, though this is the publication's characterization and Kia Ma's own recollection, not a verified sales figure or a claim the Record can independently confirm.
Set against the base M1, the M1-X reads as the line's tweak rather than a ground-up departure, a hosel and shaft-bend revision on an existing head. What isn't in front of us is any maker-published spec sheet for either version, so the comparison here rests on the designer's own account as relayed by thehackersparadise.com.
