Description 
A golf putter manufactured by the Coors Cera Sports Corporation of Golden, Colorado. The ceramic component is the putter head or blade which strikes the golf ball, it is marked "Coors" in gold script. The shaft is some type of composite material and a rubber handle, also marked Coors, extends 26cm down the shaft. A paper label on the handle reads (in part) : "The Coors Cera Sports Putter head is made from Transformation Toughened Zirconia (TZZ). This ceramic material is primarily utilized in industrial applications, due to its extreme toughness. It is optically sensitive and will naturally darken with exposure to sunlight."
