Miura launches hollow-bodied IC-602 irons

Published

on

While still targeting better players, Miura’s new hollow-bodied, multi-material IC-602 irons also seek to inspire the confidence needed to play a Miura iron in a wider swath of the fitting bell curve.

“The feedback we received from our customers regarding the creation of our new hollow body iron, was that they had no expectations about Miura being the longest one around, but rather would be loyal to the brand providing we deliver a sound and feel consistent with our forged models,” said Shinei Miura. “This epiphany allowed my design process on the IC-602 to become laser focused.”

Miura IC-602 irons: Key technology

  • Multi-material construction: 8620 carbon steel is joined with durable chromium molybdenum in the 3 through 9-irons. Miura uses S35C steel in the pitching and gap wedges. Tungsten weights are positioned inside the hollow-bodied designs to dial in launch. Additionally, the company injects a polymer to achieve desired sound and “Miura feel.”
  • Miura Versatile Sole (MVS): Engineered for ideal turf interaction thanks to the combination of bounce angle and sole width.
  • Optimum CG positioning in each club: Lower in the long irons for higher flight, higher in the short irons for a more penetrating trajectory.

Miura calls the irons its most technologically advanced ever, owing to the incorporation of fitting data insights and an understanding of Face Progression (offset) and impact loft angle.

“What impresses me most about the IC-602 is how Shinei merged the legendary, old-world craftsmanship that his family is known for with new advancements in launch technology and materials,” said Hoyt McGarity, CEO of 8AM Golf. “He made his vision a reality and the golfing world is the beneficiary.”

Three Swing Challenge: Testing the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max driver

Published

on

Callaway recently released the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max Driver, and BK is ready to see where it stacks up in this week’s Three Swing Challenge!

Why three swings?

Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:

“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”
