What you need to know: Give Miura this: It’s not a company that feels compelled to adhere to a ramped-up product launch cycle. Its TC-201 irons were five years in the making and the TC-202 follow up took another six years. The irons stay true to Miura’s tradition of handmade, forged irons.

3 Cool Things

1. A cavity-back in a players shape
Designed and forged in the company’s Himeji, Japan factory, the TC-202 has a shallow cavity, sharp topline and minimal offset for a blade-like appearance at address.

Inspired by Miura’s CB-57, the TC-202 is a cavity-back iron in a players shape that can still be played by a fairly wide swath of players by mixing in forgiveness elements. The irons are forged from a soft carbon steel and finished in satin chrome.

2. Getting the proper weight down to a T
An important addition to the TC-202 is a T-shaped weight bar in the back cavity. This facilitates the proper distribution and density of weight in the club head. Doing so helps optimize trajectory control, spin consistency, and forgiveness. The shape and density of the bar is unique to each iron in the set.

“In a day and age when many clubs are designed to do one or two things, the TC-202 irons are for the player who wants to hit every shot,” said Bill Holowaty, COO for Miura Golf. “Modern technology has given us weight screws, multi materials, and hollow-bodied irons, but the TC-202 is able to deliver high performance from a traditional looking set. It’s those classic looks, combined with the sound and feel of hitting a Miura iron, that reinforces our renowned reputation.”

3. Y is the sole shaped like this?
The sole design of the TC-202 utilises a Y grind leading edge which promotes efficient turf interaction. Miura craftsmen refined the Y Grind by taking into account years of feedback, leading to a grind with leading and trailing edge relief.
