Miura PI-401: Miura adds a distance iron to lineup

Miura irons are renowned for their feel and precision manufacturing, and now golfers of all skill levels looking to experience that feel can do so. The Japanese manufacturer has introduced new Miura PI-401 irons—a fast-faced two-piece iron designed for distance.

Miura PI-401: The details

From the beginning of the design process, the PI-401 irons were developed to offer distance-generating technology without sacrificing the “Miura feel” golfers expect.

“We have created an exceptional iron that goes higher, straighter, and further than any club we’ve ever produced, all while maintaining our family’s standards for design and performance,”

“Using two different materials, we were able to manipulate weight distribution in the PI-401 and introduce a club that is worthy of bearing the Miura name.”

-Shinei Miura, who now leads the factory in Himeji, Japan that bears his family’s name.

The extra ball speed these irons produce is generated thanks to an S35C carbon steel faceplate, which comes in at 3.6mm thick. It’s certainly not the thinnest face in golf, but it helps to generate speed while maintaining a more solid feel without having to resort to thick badges or filling polymers.

As for the rest of the iron, the body is constructed using a cast 8620 steel, and the sole is the widest in the Miura lineup to offer more forgiveness and higher launch. Although the sole is wide, the camber and bounce have been engineered to create less resistance through the turf, thanks to its front-to-back camber along with trailing edge heel and toe relief.

Looks

The iron features a confidence-inspiring look from address while also appealing to golfers that prefer a classic midsized iron profile.

Price, specs, and availability

The Miura PI-401s are available for fittings and pre-sale starting today, February 16th, and are priced at $330 per club in a stock configuration (and right-hand only). They will be available for delivery starting February 22.

Another company gets “distance” by changing the markings on the sole, the PW is now the loft of a 9 iron.

  I guess they are not for the people who are making all of these negative comments on this site, just be happy for what you are hitting, and stop complaining.
