The new Miura Passing Point irons that feature pin-point balance.<\/p><\/div>\n

Japanese golf-club manufacturer Miura Golf<\/a> – – which has been making the world\u2019s highest-quality forged irons for 44 years and is rapidly gaining an increasingly large following in the United States – – recently announced its first\u00a0\u00a0dealership in Russia. \u00a0StudioGolf<\/a>, which was founded in 2010 by owner Viacheslav Bocharov, will fit and adjust the Miura clubs at an indoor golf center in the Luzhniki sports complex, located in the center of Moscow.<\/p>\n

The upscale segment of the Russian economy has shown clear and steady growth over the past decade. \u00a0The so-called oligarch’s and their well-compensated colleagues have developed a decided taste for luxury goods, and especially high-performance sporting equipment. \u00a0As has been reported here in stories about Miura Master Clubfitter David Butler<\/a> and the company’s new line of Passing Point-9300<\/a> irons, the superior quality of Miura forgings, especially in the hands of a master fitter, is unsurpassed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re glad to have a Miura dealer in Russia,\u201d says Adam Barr, President of Miura Golf Inc. and Miura Golf U.S.A. Inc. \u201cIt just confirms what we’ve seen about interest in golf growing around the world. It makes sense that many of those who are interested would seek the finest equipment they can get, and would want to have it custom-fitted by a dedicated dealer such as Viacheslav and his staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

While StudioGolf\u2019s strategy is to offer Russian golfers only the highest-quality products and services, it also intends to make golf more affordable, especially to entry level players. To that end, it introduced free children\u2019s golf lessons this past winter in an attempt to break golf\u2019s stereotype as an elite sport. \u00a0\u201cWe were delighted to become the first Miura dealer in Russia, as Miura\u2019s philosophy fits perfectly with our own philosophy,\u201d says Bocharov, a longtime golf enthusiast. \u201cWe are working on increasing the awareness of Miura golf clubs here in Russia and, from what I see, a number of serious Russian golfers have already shown genuine interest in Miura\u2019s world-famous craftsmanship.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
