Miura Golf has allowed golfers to enter a new “iron age” this spring. The company has increased production of its special Passing Point 9003 Straight Neck iron. This club, which like its “regular” Passing Point 9003, offers golfers with a “forged feel” along with perimeter weighting and a slightly wider sole.
“Initially, we weren’t intending to make a straight-neck model,” said Adam Barr, president of Miura. “But the 9003 was so popular with so many players because it’s very easy to hit and has a great flight. When some of those new 9003 players talked with us about their flight preferences, we knew there was a class of 9003 lovers who didn’t want or need all the offset of the original. So we began to make a less-offset version, and that became the Passing Point 9003 Straight Neck. We sold out the initial run so quickly that we thought we’d better make more.”
Both models of Passing Point 9003s provide marvelous forged feel, thanks to Miura’s insistence on fine-grain, void-free steel in its clubheads. The cavity in all 9003s is carefully engineered to put the mass in the right places so golfers can get the optimum contact – and forgiveness – from the club’s perimeter weighting. And the sole of the 9003s, while never out of proportion, is somewhat larger than in more blade-like models, allowing for easier turf travel through impact and overall more consistent flight.
Japanese golf club maker Miura Golf is ready for spring with enhanced options on two of its club models. These include the K-Grind Wedge, which features a fluted sole that is now available in a range of degrees including 52-, 56-, and 60-degree K-Grinds; as well as the straight-neck Passing Point forged irons. These provide a transition design for players whose game may also be in transition, and are aimed at helping those who may not be ready for a smaller cavity or blade model. These clubs will be available next month, which should be just in time to get the golf game on.
If you happen to have some serious golf clubs – such as Miura clubs by chance – you don’t want to stick them in just any golf bag. Miura Golf, the maker of forged irons, apparently understood this and released its own Limited Edition Tour Bag.
Many companies make golf clubs, but for Miura Golf it goes much further. The company has a passion for crafting quality golf clubs, using advanced forging and CNC techniques that can help players of all levels have a better game.
For golfers who don’t want to sacrifice style for performance, the new KM-007 could be just the thing for the green. The new Miura forged irons feature quality low-carbon steel that is forged into a raw shape and then CNC (computer-numeric controlled) milled to perfection. And the new putter even features the initials of company founder and chief designer Katsuhiro Miura. With that in mind we’d love to take a swing with it!
