KM-350

The KM-350 is a member of Miura's Series 1957 line, released in 2009. Everything on record about it traces to a single source, thehackersparadise.com, which described it as a classic Blade model with a toe-weighted, offset design and a compact headshape, its cavity void of markings. That same reporting places the head weight at 350 g, notes a milled face, and describes a classic oiled-chrome finish, with the sole carrying the Miura logo, a "forged" stamping, and the model number.

That reporting also credits the putter's construction to Katsuhiro Miura and says the KM-350 undergoes the same forging process as the Miura irons, manufactured in Himeji, Japan. The same source calls the milled face extremely forgiving and pairs the putter with a leather headcover closed by velcro. None of this comes from Miura's own materials as supplied here, so it should be read as one outlet's account of the putter rather than a maker-confirmed spec sheet.

On price and proportion, the Community record is split in tone even within the same review. Thehackersparadise.com called the head incredibly compact, and elsewhere flagged that as a shortcoming, writing that while I don't like a huge putter head, this one seems too small, could just be the pics but seems tiny. The same review was caught off guard by cost, noting an msrp around $399 and adding I was surprised when I got to the price of this putter, I was expecting something much lower. Whether that size and price sit well against the rest of the Series 1957 line, or against blades generally, is left for the reader to weigh.
