Miura’s new IC-602 irons are another in a long line of well thought out designs manufactured with quality materials to precise performance standards.
Miura’s club designer, the legendary Shinei Miura, wanted an iron for better players that was both forgiving and would produce added distance with a traditional Miura look at address.
Among the features of the IC-602s are the center of gravity was relocated to give ideal launch angles with the proper spin for control plus the face progression and therefore the dynamic loft were optimized for each iron loft to improve consistency. Players will also like the Miura Versatile Sole, stepped configuration where the leading part is higher than the trailing portion. This minimizes contact with the turf regardless of the attack angle.
“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 Miura. “This epiphany allowed my design process on the IC-602 to become laser focused.”
