Mizuno refreshes their popular M.Craft line with the new Mizuno Omoi putters.The putters feature three color options and a new head-heavy design.Presale begins Feb. 17, in shops March 17.Suggested retail price is $349.99.
Mizuno has put a lot of thought into their new putter line. In fact, the word omoi means “thought” in Japanese. Not casual thought, though. The thoughts represented by omoi are deep thoughts or, one might even say, heavy thoughts. You’ll quickly see that Mizuno is thinking heavy thoughts when it comes to this new putter.
The Omoi line is an update of Mizuno’s well-received M.Craft putter line. The Omoi putters retain some of the cooler traits from the M.Craft line, like a blue ion finish option and multiple head shapes. At first glance, you might assume the head shapes are the same as the previous models but there is one main design difference. The name gives it away. Again, think “heavy thoughts.”
The key new design feature for the Mizuno Omoi putters is that some serious weight shifting has occurred since the last M.Craft incarnation.

Storage
When it comes to storage, more is often better—provided it’s usable. Good storage design is often more about the layout of the pockets than the number. What good is a pocket if it’s difficult to access or is rendered useless because you put something in a different pocket?
