Miura Magnificence

02 Jan 2024

The art of precision craftsmanship.

In the world of forged iron clubs, the Miura name is iconic and spoken of in almost mythical terms, worthy of a documentary showcasing the tradition and incredible craftsmanship of founder Katsuhiro Miura and his two sons Shinei and Yoshitaka.

As the makers of the world’s finest forged golf clubs since 1957, a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Katsuhiro Miura resulted in commemorative hand-forged irons sets of both beauty and function, designed by a legendary golfer and crafted artfully to perfection by a legendary club-maker. Those Nicklaus blades sold out in less than a week.

Miura forgings come out of Himeji in Japan, each iron individually handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail and never mass-produced. Masters champion Adam Scott plays the one-of-one Miura AS-1 irons, which only now is being released as a limited-edition box set with a certificate of authenticity. Abraham Ancer of LIV Golf and Thongchai Jaidee of the PGA Tour Champions are two other notables playing Miura hand forgings.

The use of S25C premium soft carbon steel, patience and a unique forging process perfected over decades ensures the steel grain in every club is fine and uniform, for a feel and look unlike anything else. Every club is hand-crafted and passes through the hands of Miura-san or one of his two sons.

CB 302

The stunning CB-302 features the largest sole width of any iron produced at Miura for a more penetrating flight and forgiveness. A precision sole grind improves performance regardless of swing trajectory while the Variable Depth Cavity focuses power at the v-cut.

MC-502

The MC-501 proved forgiveness is attainable in a blade iron. Subtle design enhancements refine the MC-502 to meet the discerning needs of the better player seeking the ultimate in playability without compromising on forgiveness.

KM700

Katsuhiro Miura spent 5 years perfecting the KM-700. Designed to deliver the clubhead to square at impact, this revolutionary profile with the innovative toe-cut grind is possible only with proprietary manufacturing techniques working in concert with the grinding expertise of Miura Craftsmen. Its optimum weight distribution produces a larger sweet spot.

PI-401

The PI-401 delivers exceptional forgiveness while maximising distance for players of every skill level. A larger sweet spot produces increased ball speed with a higher trajectory while the unique sole design improves shot- making from a variety of lies.

TC-201

Expect the performance of a muscle back with the forgiveness of a cavity back. Progressive sole weighting lowers the CG for higher launching long irons while a raised CG in the short irons lowers trajectory for more control.

MB-101

The MB-101 incorporates the best of early Miura designs with subtle sole refinements for effortless turf interaction. The sole width and face thickness have been optimized for heightened feel and feedback.

Fitting by appointment available at: Takashimaya Level 4 Sports (public), Seletar CC driving range (public), SICC driving range (members only) & TMCC Tampines driving range (members only).
