Mizuno's Osaka P sounds and feels like a far pricier putter. Forged in Japan with copper under its plating, it rewards a centered strike, but a putting machine ranked it last among 24 blades this year.
What's new
Osaka P belongs to Mizuno's M.Craft City Series, released in February 2026 alongside a sibling Osaka S. It is a wide-body blade forged as a single piece from 1025E mild carbon steel, with a copper layer sitting under nickel chrome plating and a deeply milled face.
Specs stay traditional: 365 grams of head, 3 degrees of loft, a 70-degree lie and a plumber's neck. Mizuno fits a KBS CT Tour shaft and a Lamkin Deep Etched Grey Cord grip, and asks noticeably less than most blades milled in the US.
How it plays
Feel carries this putter. It scores 8.7 there. The forged steel and the copper underlay give the strike a soft, muted response that tells you plainly where the ball met the face.
Value lands at 8.5, close behind. Distance and forgiveness both sit at 6, accuracy at 5.9 and workability at 6.3, so once you look past the feel, Osaka P putts like an ordinary blade, and the extra width does not buy much help on mishits.
Where it lacks
A 24-model blade test in 2026 put Osaka P at the bottom, with an overall putting-machine score of -3.4. Its worst habit showed up off the toe, where speed varied from putt to putt, and lag putting will expose that quickly.
Mizuno gives you one thin line on the topline and nothing else to aim with. Anyone who relies on contrast or a bold sightline should try a few setups before spending money here.
“Lovely to hit from the center, but the machine data says to keep the strike in the middle.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Forged 1025E carbon steel over a copper underlay feels as soft as any blade
- A wider body adds MOI while keeping a classic blade shape at address
- Made in Japan, yet priced below most US-milled blades
Reasons to think twice
- Finished 24th of 24 in a 2026 blade test on a putting machine
- Putts struck toward the toe came off at uneven speeds in testing
- Alignment help stops at one thin sightline on the topline
