Miura Golf Club Reviews

By James Awad

Specs

Made to the most precise and demanding tolerances in the golf industry since 1965, Miura offers a variety of models to suit any player's skill level. The patented "spin welded hosel" allows for precise shaft insertion. This tight shaft-to-head contact adds to the solid yet soft feel. Miura actually makes the irons used by many of the worlds top professionals and emblazons them with the logo of the company each player represents. Because of confidentiality agreements, these players cannot be named, but on the record, Miura irons have won two Masters championships, one U.S. Open, one PGA Senior Championship and 25 tour titles in Japan.

Perks

Midsize Cavity

A proprietary forging process produces exceptional feel and distance that leaves even the most critical golfers with a broad smile. Katsuhiro Miura and his staff of experts still finish each club by hand in Himeji, Japan. Miura golf products are only available direct from Miura, or through select custom club builders, assuring your set will be built to your exact specifications.

Sacrifices

Katsuhiro Miura at work

With the base price around $175 per club with standard steel shafts, cost may be a concern. Prices increase with upgraded shafts and "extras" like shaft puring. The only sacrifice might be waiting several weeks if the club maker doesn't have the head style in stock.

Bottom Line

My Miura Blades and Black wedges.

These heirloom-grade clubs will provide years of satisfaction. Visit a certified club builder and try the clubs out. If the extra cost is not an issue, once you try them, Miura clubs will find their way into your bag.

Industry Experts Debate What Makes an Iron Easy to Hit
by Mike Chwasky
What makes an iron easy to hit? It's a question golfers and designers have been asking since the days of the Nicoll Cleek and Forrester Mashie. When it comes to drivers and woods, it's not nearly as mysterious. Big, light club heads, long graphite shafts and modern materials are easy to spot, and their functions are relatively obvious. With irons it's a different story. At first glance, most irons are almost indistinguishable from one another. Yes, some have longer blades or more offset, but for the most part, irons don't look that much different than they did 25 years ago.
