Mizuno M.CRAFT City Series putter specs

How the City Series is built

Mizuno’s putter design mirrors its iron philosophy: start with feel, then shape, then performance technology. Each City Series model is forged in Japan from 1025E mild carbon steel, with a copper underlay beneath the final finish to help soften impact and refine sound.

The face is precision milled to promote consistent roll and predictable speed control, especially on longer putts. A single topline alignment line keeps the look clean at address, appealing to golfers who prefer a traditional setup without visual clutter.

Dual weight ports are built into every head. Rather than pushing extreme adjustability, this system allows golfers and fitters to subtly adjust head weight and balance to better match stroke tempo, shaft length, and grip choice.

Mizuno M.CRAFT City Series putter models explained

Kyoto – Traditional blade

The Kyoto is a classic blade putter, available with a plumber’s neck or slant neck. It’s designed for golfers with an arcing stroke who want maximum feedback and control. This is the most traditional option in the lineup.

S

Osaka – Wide blade stability

The Osaka keeps blade-like proportions but adds a square-back, wide-blade design. It offers slightly more forgiveness and stability while maintaining a compact look at address.

Nagoya – Compact mid-mallet

The Nagoya bridges the gap between blade and mallet. Its compact mid-mallet shape provides added forgiveness without feeling oversized, making it a strong fit for golfers who want balance and consistency with a traditional profile.

Tokyo – High-MOI mallet

The Tokyo is a winged mallet designed for maximum stability and alignment. With higher MOI and more visual assistance, it suits golfers who want help keeping the face square through impact.

Blade vs mallet: choosing the right City Series putter

  • More arc in your stroke: Kyoto or Osaka
  • Moderate arc or straight-back-straight-through: Nagoya
  • Maximum stability and alignment help: Tokyo

All four models share the same forged construction and face milling, so the primary difference comes down to shape, balance, and visual confidence at address.

Finish options and overall feel

Each putter is offered in either a Gray Ion or Nickel finish. Both reduce glare and complement the head shapes without looking flashy. Regardless of model or finish, the feel remains consistent across the lineup—soft, responsive, and controlled
