Shinei develops a global model under the new Miura Golf brand. In researching golfers’ preferences in Japan and internationally, Shinei is able to understand different playing conditions around the world and how they impact design.

After years spent with his father learning how club design influences performance, Shinei introduces his first solo design—the MG Collection CB-1006. The success of this iron allows Miura-san to recognize his son’s evolution as a club designer. He appoints Shinei to oversee the development and design of all Miura Giken and Miura Golf irons.

Miura-san steps down as President and becomes Chairman of Miura Giken. In his first act as Chairman, Miura-san makes a unique and progressive decision to name his second son, Shinei, as President. While the eldest son traditionally assumes the role in Japanese culture, Miura-san recognizes his sons’ strengths and determines Shinei is best suited for the position. Yoshitaka will oversee all aspects of the manufacturing process, working closely with Shinei on design. This decision speaks to the confidence Miura-san has in both of his sons.

Visiting factories outside Japan, Shinei begins R & D with the hopes of establishing manufacturing partnerships for new design concepts. Through these partnerships, Miura Giken is able to incorporate their renowned forging process with state-of-the-art casting technologies. Additionally, Shinei is able to produce designs that improve performance using 455 carpenter steel.
