Mizuno has unveiled the next generation of its milled putter line, the M.CRAFT City Series, featuring four distinct models inspired by the spirit and character of Japan’s most iconic cities – Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo.
Representing a bold new chapter in Mizuno’s putter design philosophy, the M.CRAFT City Series departs from the cadence of previous M.CRAFT, OMOI and M.CRAFT X models to reconnect with the company’s heritage of precise engineering, pure feedback and timeless craftsmanship.
Forged in Japan from Pure Select 1025E mild carbon steel, the construction ensures the purest, most responsive feel at impact, uniting advanced sound analysis, deep milling precision, and copper-infused forging to deliver the most refined M.CRAFT line to date.
At the heart of every head lies a copper underlay, introduced to create the softest, most responsive feel yet achieved in a Mizuno putter. This is complemented by a newly refined deep face milling pattern, producing a smoother roll and purer acoustic feedback at impact. A subtle top-edge alignment decal has been introduced across all heads, a minimalist guide that blends seamlessly into each model’s form to promote confidence and consistency at address.
The Kyoto captures the traditional essence of the Mizuno blade, expressed in two variants, Kyoto P (plumber) and Kyoto S (slant). Each features a toe-biased blade pad design, positioning the centre of gravity directly behind the impact zone for unmatched control and connection.
A thicker sole structure in the heel and toe enhances rigidity, refining both the sound and feel through impact and removing any trace of metallic resonance. The result is a putter that embodies classic proportions yet feels entirely modern in feedback and flow.
Defined by its refined mid-mallet silhouette, the Osaka (available in plumber and slant-neck configurations) blends traditional shaping with contemporary stability. Its shorter heel-toe length and wide blade stance provide visual stability at address, instilling confidence before every stroke. Perimeter weighting provides enhanced MOI, while subtle toe hang options allow players to select their preferred release profile.
The Osaka’s balanced proportions and deep milling deliver the crisp, satisfying sound and roll that Mizuno’s tour staff demanded, a model equally suited to both blade and mallet players seeking assured stability without sacrificing feel.
Driven by Mizuno’s extensive sound and vibration analysis, the Nagoya introduces the roll-up cavity, a geometry designed to minimise sole displacement at impact while amplifying resonance control. Available in a slant or double-bend neck, this unique structure produces a denser, more solid strike and an ultra-stable roll. Enhanced perimeter weighting further increases MOI, while the refined mass distribution delivers a truer sensation through the stroke, the culmination of years of acoustic and structural study.
Completing the range, the Tokyo showcases Mizuno’s Channel Wing design, a sculpted cavity that blends aerodynamic form with exceptional rigidity. Like the Nagoya, its geometry is tuned through sound analysis to eliminate unwanted frequencies and the metallic ‘ting’ found in earlier OMOI prototypes. Also available in slant or double-bend, the Tokyo’s more compact profile appeals to purists seeking precision and feedback in a shape that frames the ball cleanly and promotes a natural, repeatable stroke.
Every putter in the series is available in two premium finishes — grey ion or nickel — each chosen to complement the head shape and provide a refined, durable aesthetic.
