A designer at Minerva, who has been involved in the sale of golf clubs for many years, had a concept he had been working on for some time. "We wanted to develop a head that not only 'just flies' but also adds control performance to a club that prioritizes distance, and that can hit the ball where you aim." The MINERVA VALIENTE was born from this idea. The brand name "Minerva" is the English name of "Athena," the guardian goddess in Greek mythology. Take to the field with the fighting guardian goddess, "Minerva"!

PRODUCT DESIGN

"VALIENTE" means "brave" in Spanish. To control the target with a strong heart that does not fear failure, you want the club to promise "distance & control"... Such a wish of golfers is embodied in the Minerva. In the early stages of development, in order to be supported by a wide range of users, the weight and center of gravity were designed to be optimal for golfers with a head speed of around 40m/s.

However, after repeated testing of numerous prototypes, the head was reborn as one that would be popular with competitive golfers with a certain head speed, and the first Minerva model was completed. The Minerva Valiente was born.

The club is designed to be well-balanced between the right amount of grip and the ball's bounce, and is easy to control as the player imagines, not just to achieve the desired distance. The club also has a pleasant impact sound and feel, which was a focus of attention from the design stage, and will surely impress those playing with it, as well as the feel it conveys to your hands.



EMILID BAHAMA is a head manufacturer that is extremely popular among top amateurs. The low spin design does not fly up even when hit hard, and the MINERVA VALIENTE is a driver that inherits the low spin distance genes of the BAHAMA CV-8 (Carl Vinson), which continues to be a huge hit, and is focused on distance performance. It places more emphasis on grip and control performance while inheriting the low spin distance genes of the BAHAMA CV-8 (Carl Vinson), which continues to be a huge hit. For golfers with a fast H/S (head speed) and who can hit the ball, it brings the benefits of low spin, while carrying the ball to the desired position, providing more advantageous options for the second shot. For golfers with a not-so-fast H/S, the appropriate amount of spin catches the ball, provides carry, and increases the distance. Please try the MINERVA driver, which has a "distance and control design that catches and sends the ball flying" that is possible because of the design base that excels in distance performance.


Corazon Valiente

Imagine this. At the 16th hole, a Par 3, you make a 4m downhill shot to get a birdie and bounce it back. Then the most difficult hole is the 17th hole, a 425-yard Par 4, with a headwind and penalty zones on both sides. If you can get through this 17th hole, victory is in sight. On the tee, do you pray to the heavens, "Please go straight!" or do you believe in yourself, "I can hit it straight and to the place I aimed for!" This is the moment when the player's "brave heart" is tested. The English translation of "Corazn Valiente" engraved on the MINERVA face is "Brave Heart." It is filled with the idea of ​​hitting that shot with a "brave heart" that believes in yourself after all the hard work you have put in.

Mitsubishi Chemical Diamana BB

Mitsubishi Chemical's flagship brand "Diamana" was born from the concept of creating products that meet the performance requirements of top players competing on the world's highest stage.
The Diamana BB series, the second in the sixth generation Diamana series, is the latest model in the standard "blue" series, which is the most unassuming.
The smooth rigidity from the grip to the tip without any inflection points provides the natural bounce back that many players desire, and the design allows for impact in the sweet spot even with heads that have a high moment of inertia.
It provides a balanced combination of distance and stability, delivering the highly repeatable swing trajectory that players desire.



[TECHNOLOGY]
The composition of the matrix resin is optimized to create a strong "cross-linked structure."
A new matrix technology that improves the physical properties of molded products by 14% in strength, 15% in elastic modulus, and 8% in elongation at break.


By using Mitsubishi Chemical's pitch-based carbon fiber DIALEAD in the bat section, shaft deformation during the swing is minimized and energy efficiency is maximized.

The differences in shaft weight and butt diameter between flexes in the same weight range, as well as the difference in butt diameter between specs in the 40 to 80g range, have been significantly reduced.
It minimizes the differences in performance and feeling caused by different weight ranges and flex, allowing for a smoother setup from DW to FW.

This technology is compatible with large, high MOI heads and improves stability from the top to the downswing, leading to ideal impact.
Excellent energy transmission is achieved by optimizing the amount of twist at the tip.
