Miura introduces K-Grind 2.0 milled wedge, featuring signature knuckled sole of the 1957 model
Miura Golf has today unveiled its latest wedge — the K Grind 2.0, which is designed with the original 1957 K-Grind in mind.
The new K-Grind 2.0 features the signature knuckled sole of the 1957 model. The fluted sole of the new wedge is designed to keep the clubface square at impact, while the three knuckles of the K-Grind 2.0 also aim to deliver increased playability through every type of turf.
The face of the K-Grind 2.0, as well as the grooves, are fully milled in a bid to increase spin on both intermediate and full shots. The club’s sole grind features increased bounce and roll, along with heel and toe relief, which is designed to stabilize the swing of golfers of all skill levels.
Speaking on the new addition, Hoyt McGarity, President of Miura Golf, said
“The K-Grind 2.0 is the next generation of the trusted and distinctive product line that performs dependably through every turf. With this club, we have produced a superior wedge that is just as versatile as it is visually striking.”
The hand-forged K-Grind 2.0 comes available in 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60-degree lofts. The club, which possesses a lie angle of 64 degrees, arrives in a choice of 19 branded shaft options and 14 grips.
The K-Grind 2.0 is available to purchase now from MiuraGolf.com as well as Miura Golf authorized dealers around the globe, with prices starting at $295.

We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)
MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype
MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.
Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype
We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.
Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS
Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.
Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2
This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.
Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype
This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.
Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.
The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.
Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.
Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!

They say the knuckles help keep the head square. Considering that with foward shaft lean the trailing edge does absolutely nothing on square settup shots, this is totally BS. When opening the face it could help with reducing the surface area that interacts and produce a low bounce reaction. Probably not something you want in a sand club but probably great for a LW. I wouldn’t trust a 1957 idea on grind and bounce considering the way courses we’re kept at the time and the lack of equipment companies knowledge on grind/bounce options. Vokey only in the last few years starting offering multiple grinds due to their knowledge and tour player feedback. We used to grind our own because we as players knew what did what and created what the equipment manufacturers wouldn’t and couldn’t

What happens when you open the club all the way, do the notches get you stuck

Not at all. They are tremendous wedges. I have 52, 56, 60 & 64. I’m sure they will occasionally put out a very small number of 64’s. Small numbers like 18 one year and 24 in another year. Not for everyone but well worth looking at and maybe trying. Works of art.

WOW! Bringing back a design shows they have nothing better to launch? These designers are all out of new ideas it seems….USGA rules have turned club design into putting lipstick on a pig or apple polishing….nuttin new!!!….Sellers be sellin!

Looks like you made basically the same comment on the “hottest drivers” post. It’s okay for you to repeat thoughtless responses but not okay for equipment companies to improve on proven successful ideas? Might want to take the log out of your own eye before talking about the speck in someone else’s.

USGA rules make it IMPOSSIBLE to produce clubs with meaningful performance improvement….are you completely uneducated, or do you work for a golf equipment manufacturer selling snake oil technology stories?

You’re stupid if you think that moving CG doesn’t affect a club, try hitting a srixon 965 vs a 71 MT forged iron. CG is lower in the other and is easier to launch and mass in different places equals more forgiveness in those areas.
Maybe stop being stuck in 1965, and learn to adapt with the world.
