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.”

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

Published

on

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.”
