Nakashima Golf offering fully CNC milled irons in brushed satin finish

Stockton, CA, -- Nakashima Golf (www.nakashimagolf.com) will offer its very popular tour-forged, fully CNC milled NP-1 blade style irons in a "brushed satin" finish option. The reaction to Nakashima's NP-1 forged irons has been spectacular, with many golfers commenting favorably on the classic "mirror-chromed" finish that has been offered exclusively to date. In introducing a brushed satin finish on these very popular irons, Nakashima Golf is acknowledging that there are golfers out there that prefer a more subtle, muted finish on their equipment. Nakashima Golf's craftsmen have added one extra step in the finishing process in order to achieve the brushed satin finish of this new option on the NP-1 tour forged irons and have confirmed through playability testing that the brushed satin version performs equally well.

"We are elated at the reception to our 'NP-1 Tour Forged' irons and are pleased to offer this option for those golfers that prefer a brushed satin finish over the more classic chrome look that has been featured exclusively up until today," Nakashima Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Scott Son commented. "While the brushed satin finish adds one more step in our already painstakingly thorough manufacturing process, it is one of our goals to make every potential customer an investor in our premium line of equipment. I am personally amazed at how well the brushed satin finish came out and, quite frankly, I don't know which version of these blades that I like better. I guess we'll let our customers decide for themselves."
