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.

Accra launches new GX wood and hybrid shafts
Accra Golf shafts have long been synonymous with fitting, and the new GX line of driver, fairway, and hybrid shafts continues that legacy.
Since 2004, Accra has been making high-end performance golf shafts that use the latest in materials and design philosophy. Their group of around 350 fitters are some of the best and most highly ranked in the world. While you might see other brands on professional tours more often, there are plenty of touring pros using Accra products and winning.
Accra’s new GX line of shafts is designed to offer a consistent and accurate shaft to a wide range of players. The GX line consists of 3 different shafts in driver, fairway, and hybrid designs.
The Accra GX shafts are designed for fitters to dial in golfers to the perfect shaft for their swing. Accra included a ton of technology into the GX line including their S3 profiling, DyMatch, and Constant Flex technology. DyMatch has been Accra’s quest to ensure that all shafts in a family feel and perform similar from driver to hybrid or iron shaft. Typically shafts get stiffer as they go up in weight, but Accra’s Constant Flex keeps the flex of the shafts consistent so fitters and golfers can dial in the weight that the golfer need without have to work around a stiffer or softer flex. Accra worked with Cool Clubs to build out its S3 Shaft Profiling system that not only allows a quick and easy EI profile of any shaft, it helps with quality control to ensure shafts come out of production exactly as they were designed.
Accra GX Red 300 Series
GX Red is lowest launching and spinning option in the GX line. Driver shafts have fewer options with just the 360 and 370 models that come in at 63 and 71 grams. The GX Red is made for faster swinging, or stronger, players who require a stiff (M4) or x-stiff (M5) shaft for their swing. Fairway and hybrid models are also on the higher weight side with the fairway clocking in at 80g and 90g for the hybrid. Accra designed this series with one of the stiffest tip sections of any Accra shaft in the current line, and while it is built to control launch and spin, the Red 300 Series will still offer that smooth feel.
Accra GX Green 100 Series
If your swing usually works best with mid-launch and spin, then the GX Green 200 series might be the right shaft for you. Offered in more weight and flex options, you can get a GX Green in 52 grams and all the way up to 70 grams in regular, stiff, and x-stiff flexes. GX Green will give the player a smooth feel and transition from the handle down to the tip section while still providing great stability and consistency. Accra also focused on the energy transfer of this shaft, and golfers can see some increased ball speed compared to other shafts.
Accra GX Blue 200 Series
While the GX Blue 100 Series is the highest launching and spinning option in the GX lineup, it will still give golfers the control and consistency they need. Starting off at 40g, the GX Blue series puts an emphasis on lighter weight to allow players to swing the club faster, promoting more distance. Accra touts the stability of the GX 140 Blue driver shaft by stating that some long driver competitors have put it in play to try and gain every MPH they can. Matching fairway and hybrid shafts are both on the lighter side at around 60g for the fairway and 65g for the hybrid depending on the flex.

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.
