“A slightly more neutral toe hang than the 01, so it suits members whose stroke shows only a mild arc. Same forged feel and weight-kit customization as the rest of the OMOI line.”
Launched alongside the 01 on March 17, 2022, the OMOI 02 is the narrower, Anser-style sibling in Mizuno's heavyweight M.Craft putter line, sharing the same 370-gram forged-and-milled 1025 carbon steel head and dual-weight-port tuning system but built with a full single-bend shaft offset that produces a lower 40-degree toe hang, suited to players with a straighter, less arcing putting stroke than the 01's 60-degree design. Both models trade on Mizuno's forged 'soft feel' pedigree, borrowed directly from its iron-making process, applied to a heavier-than-normal putter head aimed at stroke stability.
Reviewed well by Golf Monthly, MyGolfSpy and GolfWRX forum members, and reported by testers as the top putter from five feet in one comparative performance test against its own sibling — but like the 01, it is a solid current-market forged putter competing in a crowded premium category, without the scarcity or legend that would make it a cult classic.
Best for putters with a straighter, minimal-arc stroke who want a compact, traditional Anser-style look with extra head mass for tempo control; testing found it edged out the 01 for makes from five feet in at least one comparative review. Golfers with a strong arcing stroke should prefer the 01's higher 60-degree toe hang instead, and anyone wanting true forgiveness over feel should look outside the M.Craft blade family entirely.
Part of the same March 2022 launch as the OMOI 01, positioned as Mizuno's straighter-stroke heavyweight option against forged Anser-style rivals like Bettinardi's Studio Stock 2 and Scotty Cameron's Newport 2, within a broader market trend toward heavier stable putter heads.
Shares the 01's added stability from 370g of head mass, but the narrower Anser-style blade profile and 40-degree toe hang mean the sweet spot and perimeter weighting are still modest by putter standards — off-center strikes lose meaningful roll distance and line compared to any mallet design. This is a blade first, with mass-driven stability layered on top, not a forgiveness-first design.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Used M.Craft OMOI 02 putters typically sell for roughly $150-$220 privately, in line with the 01's used pricing, well below the $350 MSRP as with most three-plus-year-old premium putters once new-release demand fades.
