Why his irons have two small Ks rather than one? I know that K indicates conformed groove, two Ks, hmmmm....

The second K means that it was custom made by Mr. Miura himself.

You beat me to the punch. I sent an email to Bill to find out and he said the same about the "K" and also the "SL"...

One  is a “K” with a circle around it (indicative of a custom made set by Mr  Miura) and the other mark is a “SL” (for Scoring Lines) which is our  mark for 2010 Conforming Grooves.

Here's a few shots of Nick's irons & his bag

Looks like Nick got some new irons recently.  The attached were taken in Grand Cayman a few months ago.  Not really a surprise I guess.  Guess the new ones worked since he had a hole in one on Friday.

the second stamp is a SL and not a reverse K? that is news to me.  I just figured the first K was for trademark purposes and I had no idea what to think when I seen the second stamp.  good info as always here, thanks

[ProjectX_Mizuno]

What shafts is he using in those irons?

[bldolat]

Those are absolutely beautiful irons. Thanks for the pictures.

[Mack]

I have seen a set of these in person and they are 100% custom and unlike any of Muira's current irons. I believe there was 4 sets of these irons made and they are very very nice but also very small. Not as small as the Tournament Blades but close. Definitely a work of art.

Here is a pic I snapped with my phone.

It's been said that very few people can actually hit these irons... there were a number of times this past summer where it looked like Nick couldn't hit them either.

He's always had a reputation as one of the best ballstrikers in the world, but he hit a number of really fat shots on TV earlier this year.

You can put the most forgiving, large-headed, cavity backed, multi-material, high tech wonder irons you can find in the bag, but if you're hitting the ball heavy it'll make as much difference to improving the fall of your shots as painting your arse yellow.

Thinking back on some of my bad shots, technology wouldn't have saved me one bit.

As for these fabulous clubs no-ones mentioned one of the most significant things about them: the 1957. Probably the best year in history to be born and take up golf. I can't think of many other years that have produced so many regular and major championship winners.

Wish you posted more Mat, well said.

[Snufles]

They are a 1957 series blade, but not babies. If these were babies someone has shrunk those 588s.

Just what I thought when I just saw the initial pics.. "Y" and "K".....Katsuhiro Miura and son Yoshitaka had their hands in these heads. WOW!

[dkwsu]

Miura does not have "Y" stampings.  Circle SL and Circle K.  SL = Score Line (Conforming grooves); K = Ground by Mr. Miura himself.  Anyone ever seen a Circle K set for sale here?

[mokokos]

If you live anywhere near an officia lMiura dealer/fitter, you owe it to yourself to hit the baby blades. I would liken hitting them flush comparable to plunging a samurai blade into a grizzly bear: you're shocked that it went through so fast and comes out just as fast. The golf ball takes off so fast, piercing trajectory and then lands softly. I love playing blades (Mizuno mp 69's and Titleist 12"s) these are even more wonderful and feels so good. It's a spiritual experience!

These Look Just Like The Japan 5003's

Seems strange he isn't using the Miura wedges

Heads are too big. I love the Miura grinds, and have used them for years, but the heads are still look a shade too big for me.

[Classic Clubs]

I sure wish they would bring these to market.....

[Fornesto]

What?! No lead tape?

[Rounder]

Holy moly.......
