VANCOUVER, Canada -- Japanese golf club manufacturer Miura Golf, which has been making high-quality forged irons for 43 years, has introduced two putter models to its 2009 product line. The putters will form part of Miura Golf's Series 1957, which will be a collection of Miura products represents the year in which Miura began pursuing the perfect set of irons.

The KM 350 is a classic Blade model, while the MP 005 and MP 006 offer a traditional design familiar to most golfers. The Miura craftsmanship is evident in these new toe-weighted offset putters, which each feature a classic oiled-chrome finish that complements each putter's soft visual features.

Each of these putters undergo the same forging process as Miura irons, and each putter's milled face is extremely forgiving for improved feel and distance control. The forgiveness at impact also reduces skid, resulting in a truer roll of the ball.

"The Series 1957 putters were designed for players seeking the very best," said Katsuhiro Miura, Miura Golf Inc.'s founder and director of manufacturing and product development at his manufacturing facilities in Himeji, Japan.

Besides the new putter models, Miura Golf's current product line includes Blade (Tournament Blade Model); MC-102 (Standard Cavity Model); CB-202 (Cavity Back Model) and CB 301 (Progressive Cavity Back ) irons; and Wedges (Wedge Series and Black Wedge Series, each available in six lofts).

Miura Golf's corporate office is located in Vancouver and Miura Golf clubs are sold at custom-fitting shops throughout North America.
