Miura launches new TC-201 iron

Miura Golf is adding to their already well-established line of forged irons with the introduction of the new TC-201 irons for 2020.

The TC-201 offers a look similar to the MB 101, which was released in late 2019, but adds additional forgiveness with a shallow cavity and more mass pushed to the perimeter of the club to boost MOI and increase launch in the longer irons. The appearance of the TC-201 was inspired by the Miura MG CB-1008 (an iron sold exclusively in Japan) and refined to complement the rest of the Miura line with an unmistakably clean look from address with minimal offset.

“The TC-201s are a cavity back five years in the making,”
-Hoyt McGarity, CEO of Miura Golf.

“They are a testament to the Miura family’s dedication to perfection in craftsmanship, and are the most anticipated Miura irons in recent memory.”

When it comes to Miura irons ,the company will never make claims about distance or ball speed in an attempt to win the retail club fitting launch monitor showdown between 7-irons. Instead, when you talk to the Miura family about the irons they produce, it’s about creating clubs that allow the golfer to feel everything and the endless pursuit of perfecting the craft of club building.

The new irons utilize Miura’s patented spin welding technique that assures the grain structure of every head, along with the bore of each hosel is absolutely perfect. For a forged iron, they offer substantial playability compared to other clubs in the category because of the modernized sole design that offers a slightly raised leading edge and camber to help with shots in varying turf conditions.

For Katsuhiro Miura’s sons Shinei and Yoshitaka, the TC-201 is a testament to the family’s principles of striving for constant improvement and building on a legacy rooted in Japanese manufacturing excellence.

Price and Availability

The TC-201 set runs 3-PW and retails for $300 per iron. The TC-201, along with all other Miura products can be found at authorized club fitters around the world or can be purchased fully assembled at www.Miuragolf.com.

Toulon Golf collaborates with Valhalla Golf Club for latest Small Batch putter

Published

GolfWRX Staff

Toulon Golf has today officially announced its latest Small Batch putter — the Valhalla.

Discussing the putter, Preston Toulon of Toulon Golf said: “This putter is a collaboration with the club at Valhalla and incorporates three of the many things that make the state of Kentucky great – horseracing, bourbon and championship golf. The head of the putter and headcover have several allusions to a jockey’s silk and there are thoroughbreds on the sole.”

Inspired by Toulon’s classic tri-sole Santa Monica design, the company sought to modernize the profile and design leveraging its 904 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminium across the sole. Toulon describes the Valhalla’s profile as “slightly oversized blade whose proportions are meticulously balanced to maintain the look and feel of the Santa Monica, while increasing the putter’s inertia to create one of the most forgiving putters we have ever designed.”

Throughout numerous prototypes, Toulon paid particular attention to the L-neck, with its full shaft of offset, adding a bit of length for better blending with the slightly wider and longer blade.

On the rear of the putter are homages to horse racing in the form of jockey silk diamonds and Churchill Downs-inspired font.

The sole of the putter features a large cavity covered by a 6061 aircraft aluminum sole plate. According to Toulon, this allowed for the addition length to the putter and improved inertia as well as moving more mass to the perimeter for greater forgiveness.

In another nod to Valhalla, Toulon uses a milled watermarked limestone pattern, a reference to stone featured widely on the property.

As with all the Toulon Small Batch putters, the team paid particular attention to the topline thickness and radius to achieve a desired look. “Soft yet crisp was the design intent,” according to the company.
