Miura releases new putter, two new iron sets for lefties

For left-handed golfers, purchasing golf clubs is more difficult than it is for righties. It’s not that lefties don’t buy golf clubs (we hear you on GolfWRX lefties!); it’s just there are far fewer left-handed golfers in the world. Lower demand equals lower supply.

But according to recent studies, the lefties are coming. And Miura is taking notice.

“With our operations based in Canada, where recent statistics indicate that some 30 percent of new golfers are lefties, we’re always looking to better serve left-handers,” said Bill Holowaty, Executive Vice President, Product Strategies of Miura Golf. “We are thrilled to offer some more options for those golfers.”

For the first time ever, Miura is offering a left-handed putter — the LH KM 006. The company will also release a Y-grind version of its MB-001 and CB-57 irons. Learn more about each of the clubs below.

LH KM-006

Although it’s a “Series 1957” KM 006 putter, this left-handed model is slightly different than the right-handed version that was previously released. It has rolled top line and tapered heel for a different visual effect.

Like the right-handed version, however, the LH KM-006 is forged using the same forging process as Miura’s irons. The toe-weighted, offset putter also has an oiled-chrome finish and a milled face.

Y-Grind Irons

A club’s bounce and leading edge are crucial at impact, when the club meets the ground. As such, Miura Master Grinder Yoshitaka Miura developed the Y-grind, which debuted in the company’s Series 1957 wedges.

The new grind gave golfers an opportunity to better match their swing characteristics to the sole of their wedges for better turf interaction. Later, Miura incorporated the sole design into the MB-001 and CB-57 irons, which are now available in left-handed models.

How is the Y-grind different from the standard grind?

Modifications are made to the leading edge and sole, leading to “more efficient” turf interaction for certain golfers. Added contours allow golfers to attain proper bounce and lie angles for each specific iron, according to Miura.

See the difference between the LH MB 001 irons and the LH MB 001 Y-grind irons on Miura’s website:

The Y-grind also makes other adjustments compared to the standard grinds, such as head weight, density and balance.

The Y-grind irons have a slightly modified toe profile and top line, as well, providing a different look and feel for golfers that want or need it.

With the new offering, left-handed golfers now have a better chance of finding the Miura iron that’s best for their individual swing and preferences. Before buying, however, remember to get a proper fitting from a professional to see if this grind suits your game.

Both of these LH Miura models have been around, but not with this special Y sole grind.

Compare Miura’s translation of these two models with their RH counterparts. They are smaller.

It’s 2016, yet the depth of the muscle in the back pad appears smaller than the RH models
Why?
The Cavity Back model has also been around, but appears smaller than the RH one.

Would spring on the LH design of the RH CB 57 model Miura made for Jack Nicklaus, but since these LH smears are not the same size, none of Miuras’ RH CNC milled designs will translate.

I admit it I am a lh handed Miura fanboy however I don’t agree that Miura tournament blades have more offset when compared to my mizuno mp-32 or mp-68 at least not at address. However with that said the tb’s are the easiest blade I have ever hit the tb gives me the feel and flight of a blade as compared to any cavity back iron that I just balloon to the heavens. Further, I have tried every lh players club over the last few years and by tried I mean purchased (no try before buy for a lefty when looking for great clubs) this includes titleist ap2/cb callaway apex pro and mizuno all of which I gave away to various lefty players I am friends with in lower tax brackets than I always landing back with my 8 year old Miura tournament blades.
What I am saying is I really wish I had the multiple left handed options that Miura is finally offering. I am already considering getting fitted for the y grind and maybe even buy a backup set of the tb in black that are now finally being offered for lefties! (I have wanted them in LH for years as stains are rough on a sunny day)
I hope that my local Miura dealer / fitter will carry a lh six iron in these sets so I can at least compare the feel to my current tournament blades (tb) . Bottom line any progress for lefties is a positive thing so thank god for Miuraand mizuno two of the few companies offering quality golf gear for the lefty! I may even try the putter although I am pretty happy with my custom made SeeMore. Now all they need to do is expand the wedge grinds or offer custom wedge grinds for lefties too and I can switch from my scratch wedges. For the record I hover around scratch/plus player depending on time of year…

I guess the right thing to say is, I hope that having such a high profile golf club maker provide more offerings for left handers will spurn other major brands to do the same. But the truth is, they won’t, because it doesn’t make sense for their bottom line yet. As a left-handed Canadian golfer, I’m very glad to see Miura shake up its line-up.

I still may own a set of Miura CBs in forseeable future, those getting more interesting.

They are nice but I have a set of 8 yr. old KZG Irons made by Miura that are just like the CBs except they have a small offset that I really like. I shafted them with Fiber Steel 75gr shafts and they are great.

The hand that controls the dexterity of the shot is the right hand for a left handed shooter. Many right handers “play switch” due to this fact.

I for one play golf, baseball, and hockey lefty but write right handed.

Miura might be out of my price range but I’ll never complain about new offerings for our handedness.

Same club, different grind. No innovation. Hoodwinked us into believing these new clubs. Owned the blades; Great quality and feel, but flawed by the offset design. The 4-PW all have same offset number, and it is apparent at address. Outdated. Bill, blend blade and CB into 1 set with more progressive offset and you will have a ‘Titleist Slayer’…

    Don’t follow, but cute. Maybe I should have said ‘Evolution’, not ‘Innovation’. I meant a more gradual offset to improve the flow and playability, not turn them into shovels. Retain the overall size, look and feel. Just an opinion from someone who’s gamed them.

Well done Miura! I don’t know how many times I have been to their website to find what I want not be available. I love to see another golf company I can consider when I spend all my disposable income!

Putters that never made it: Check out some of the best tour builds that didn’t make the cut

Published

Alistair Cameron

Arguably, the best perk of being a professional golfer on the PGA Tour is the ability to request or even just be handed pretty much any club you could think of. It happens more often than you think, usually with putters around the practice green from one event to the next. Come Wednesday, the Tour bags lining the edge of the putting surface become resting places for fallen flatsticks that never made the cut.

So let’s take a look at some of the best we’ve seen out on Tour this year that never made it to the competition. (You may notice none of Hideki Matsuyama’s custom Scotty Cameron putters made this list. There are too many.)

Let’s start with this custom Damascus Milled Odyssey Rossie made for Ryo Hisatsune. Featuring a single line and the short-slant hossel, we’ve seen plenty of Number 7 and jailbird heads featuring the Damascus Milled insert, but this is the first and only one we’ve spotted in a Rossie. Hisatsune primarily putts with an Odyssey Black Series iX #9, but we have seen him recently with a TaylorMade TP Collection SOTO, so there could be potential that the Damascus Milled Rossie could end up in the bag.

Everyone wants to be Cameron Young right now. We’ve had Justin Thomas and Tom Hoge both game the Scotty Cameron 9.5R prototype. Well, for the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka nearly joined that list after requesting the same style of putter, with the full-length alignment line. But the Scotty Cameron reps took the request a step further and made one specially for Koepka with a Teryllium insert, similar to one in his previous Newport 2 gamers. The reason why this one didn’t go into play, though? Because it was too heavy.

Harry Hall was the third-best putter on Tour last year, so when Bettinardi made him a custom proto, you know it was going to be good. The custom BB28 blade features VDF face milling, a custom-welded single-bend shaft, and the owner’s initials – HH – on the sole of the putter. Hall, who usually games an Odyssey O-Works #7 W, has dabbled with a TaylorMade Spider Tour X already this year. Maybe there’s a chance this Bettinardi might make his bag.

Honestly, this one doesn’t need a description. It’s Kieth Mitchell’s custom Scotty Cameron Napa. One Scotty Cameron face stamp, two Scotty Dogs, two Scotty Cameron 7-Point Crowns and one Circle T. That is all. Oh, except for the Cashmere Cameron headcover.

Finally, and just for fun, how about we pour one out for this TaylorMade Spider Tour X made for Scottie Scheffler in its new torched finish. It’s unlikely we’ll see a putter change anytime soon from the best golfer in the world. In fact, he hit just two putts with it on the Harbour Town practice before going back to his trusty gamer.

Which of Tiger’s major winning irons are your favorite? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:

“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.

Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”

And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.

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

SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”
