Miura adds options for lefties

Lefties rejoice! Miura Golf has expanded its lineup of left-handed clubs to include the new Limited Forged Black Blade Irons and Black Wedges.

The flat-black finish is designed to produce no glare while still maintaining the appropriate texture. Over time, the finish “ages” to create a unique look for each golfer. The irons are available in 3 iron through pitching wedge, and can include an optional 2 iron, while three wedge lofts (51, 55, 59 degrees) are available.

The Limited Forged Black irons and wedges add to the current nickel (satin) chrome options available for left-handers, but do not include the cavity back model. Utilizing the same design as these popular models, the flat-black option is sure to draw attention.

Adam Barr, president of Miura Golf and former host of The Golf Channel’s “What’s in The Bag?” understands that limited models have been available for left-handers and stated that his company “wanted to let them know that we have their best interests at heart — and on the drawing board.”

The irons and wedges are designed and formed in Himeji, Japan, by master craftsman Katsuhiro Miura and his sons Yoshitaka and Shinei. Although popular on the Asian Tour, Miura Golf has less of a presence on the North American circuits. Nevertheless, many pros and amateurs recognize that the handcrafting process by which Miura Golf creates clubs one by one results in a top-quality product.

The pure feel when hitting a Miura club comes from its special forging process designed to keep the fine grain of the steel uniform and free of bubbles and voids. In addition, the “spin-welding” process that Miura Golf uses creates a consistent bore depth and hosel height on every iron, which results in a perfectly centered shaft.

Never heard of Miura Golf? According to the company’s website, Miura does not pay tour pros to use its clubs, therefore the use of their clubs by many top pros is on a voluntary basis. With multi-million dollar equipment contracts now common, it is the ultimate compliment to the design and performance of a Miura golf club when a tour pro plays it for free.

Both the irons and wedges are now available through official Miura dealers with a suggested retail price starting at $265 per iron and $235 per wedges with custom options are available.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
