MIURA SERIES 1957 KM 350=TRUEST ROLL AND INERTIA!
Katsuhiro Miura has been making forged clubs for more than 50 years, and the name Series 1957 honors the year in which he began his career in the golf business. In his own words, “Japanese philosophical tradition provides that ‘perfection’ is not a goal that can be attained, rather it is a never-ending journey toward a goal. For all my years a...s a club maker, I have been on this journey and have pursued with a passion the making of the ‘perfect’ forged golf club.”
Miura’s two sons are today actively involved in the Miura Golf operation, with one overseeing the forging division, and the other leading the finishing unit.
The forging process enjoys a long and rich history in Himeji, Japan, where master metal workers have resided for centuries. Today, the fundamental forging process remains the same, even if it is assisted by modern technology. Mild steel is heated, and then struck with aforging hammer to create the rough shape of the club head. The head is trimmed of excess metal, then struck again for further refinement, and then again a third time. The club is finished by grinding, milling (in the case of the putters) and polishing.
According to the company, “Miura’s forging techniques rearrange the molecular structure of the mild steel in a pattern that is uniform throughout the club head. This eliminates void spots in the club face…This tightness in the grain structure of the metal is what gives Miura-made clubs the controlled, soft feel that other manufacturers cannot achieve.”
As with his forged iron heads, the Miura forging process creates an ultra smooth surface with very tight dimensional tolerances. The result is a putter with unmatched feel and precision.“Series 1957” – limited special edition (serial number 46 of only 69 produced) with Letter of Authenticity. This new Miura “Series 1957” Blade putter goes through the same forging process which makes the Miura Irons so successful in the consistency of the strike of the ball and in terms of feel. The Miura craftsmanship has been transferred to this toe weighted off set blade putter with a classic oiled chrome finish which very much compliments its soft visual features. This putter which comes at 350gms and confirms it is possible to match looks with performance.
