“The first of the second OMOI wave, blending a mallet's stability with a blade's address look and an elongated sightline for alignment. A good rung-2 fitting option for members who like Mizuno's forged feel but want more forgiveness than a pure blade.”
When Mizuno stretched its OMOI family from three heads to six for 2023, the 04 was the shape aimed squarely at the squareback crowd: a wide-bodied blade with an extra-wide flange, elongated sightline and plumber's neck, forged from 1025 mild carbon steel and CNC milled. Golf Monthly likened its looks to Scotty Cameron's squareback models and found the shape 'flows beautifully' through the stroke, with the heavyweight OMOI concept — dual weight ports, a supplied weight kit and a counterbalancing lightweight grip — giving a wide blade the stability of a small mallet. At $350 it was pitched as the value route to a premium milled wide blade.
A well-reviewed, Scotty-squareback-style milled blade at a $100 discount to the putters it imitates, with minimal marketing push — quietly excellent rather than famous.
Players with a slight-to-moderate arc — the plumber's neck gives 40 degrees of toe hang — who want blade looks with extra stability; Golf Monthly felt it suits higher handicappers through tour-level eyes alike.
Secondhand OMOI heads are common and affordable — around $95-$135 at 2nd Swing across the line — though the 04 shape shows up less frequently than the flagship 01 and 02 blades.

Part of the 2023 OMOI expansion trio, giving Mizuno's heavyweight forged line a wide-blade answer to the popular Fastback/Squareback genre dominated by Titleist's Scotty Cameron brand.
Extra-wide flange, heavy head and dual weight ports lift MOI well above a standard blade, though it remains a blade with 40 degrees of toe hang rather than a true mallet.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
