Sometimes to stay ahead you need to change your game, and in the game of golf that can mean changing your clubs. British Columbia-Japanese golf-club manufacturer Miura Golf, which has made a name making high-quality forged irons for 44 years, is changing up. The company has officially introduced its MG Hybrids, which should be exciting news for golfers
Miura Golf has never had a fixed time frame for new-product introductions, and typically only debuts new models when the quality of new technological advances demands it. Apparently that time has come, and the MG Hybrids will be available in HB3 (20 degrees of loft) and HB4 (23 degrees of loft) models made from SUS455 steel in an I.P. Black finish.
“The days of the ‘three-through-pitch’ automatic set are over,” says Adam Barr, President of Miura Golf. “Players are putting more thought into how they will configure their bags. So hybrids become even more important as supporters of the irons. The new MGs are designed with the recognition that hybrids can be used for everything from covering a lot of ground on par-5s to pinpoint shots into greens on long par-4s and par-3s. As the name ‘hybrid’ truly implies, these clubs play as multipurpose long-game tools golfers can rely on.”
The Miura Golf MG Hybrids came about as a result of customer demand, and the these feature a blade-iron design that provides a sense of security when aiming at the target, and allows more advanced players to better concentrate on their games rather than wondering where the ball will go. The club’s I.P. Black finish makes it appear more compact, resulting in increased player concentration at address. The MG Hybrid further promise to follow through smoothly after impact thanks to Miura Golf’s new Circle Cut method sole shape in which a line cuts through the club’s sole, creating a stepped tier on the sole and the optimal center of gravity to provide the optimal ball trajectory for a hybrid iron.
Moreover, the blade height is almost the same size as the height of the ball at 43mm, so golfers at address can think of the MG Hybrid as an iron at address, and can hit the ball the same way as an iron. The MG Hybrids are available now with graphite shafts ($299 MSRP) or steel shafts ($279), so you can make the move to the hybrid clubs for the rest of the season.
