Miura Debuts New Forged Wedge Series

Golf is a game of misses, and the right equipment can only help make those misses smaller. One of the places where having the right equipment most matters can be your wedge. Indeed, having the wrong loft, lie, grind, and bounce combination can be a spell for disaster—fatted greenside shots, chili-dipped bumps and runs, and bladed bunker shots.

Miura’s new Forged Wedge Series looks to resolve these concerns while also putting one of the most premium, best-feeling forged wedges in golfers’ hands.

Five years in the making, the new Y and C Grind Soles have been designed to interact crisply with the turf to enhance contact and encourage consistency. The lie, loft, and face progression creates a flawless flow from the hosel through the club head. The clean, classic forged wedge look was developed to promote short-game confidence for pros and amateurs alike.

Bill Holowaty, COO, Miura Golf, said: 

“The Forged Wedge Series enhances a golfer’s three most important senses: What a golfer sees, feels, and hears brings clarity to each shot—for the part of the game where strokes are saved and matches are won. Our newest wedge heads were carefully engineered to put the mass in the right places so golfers can get the optimum contact and control, allowing for easier turf travel through impact and more overall consistent ball flight.”

Y Grind

The Y Grind wedge is beneficial for golfers who have a neutral to steep angle of attack and tend to remove some turf through impact when playing a variety of shots around the green. This grind will offer more control and more spin for that type of player and the leading edge, high bounce and cambering of the Y Grind makes it equally as easy to get out of bunkers, soft conditions and long rough.

C Grind

The C Grind, meanwhile, is optimal for players who have a neutral to shallow attack angle in order to sweep the ball and pick it off the turf around the green. The additional heel and toe relief on this wedge allows for more confident open-face shots and provides versatility to handle intricate shots and tight lies around the green on any type of turf condition.

Hoyt McGarity, CEO of 8AM Golf, said:

“The Miura craftsmen have improved on previous generations of wedges in a number of areas, including overall shape, center of gravity, leading edge, grind, and bounce. Although the Y and C grinds differ, they can be paired seamlessly and will complete your bag by giving you the ability to hit a variety of shots in a variety of turf conditions.”

Every Y and C grind wedge is stamped with the forged “Kanji” symbol, a Japanese character that translates to “striving” or “noble effort.” This embodies the ethos of Miura Golf: A commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.

Yoshitaka Miura said:

“Most wedges made today are cast, but we only use fine grain, void-free soft carbon steel in all of our forged clubheads. Our new wedges provide an unmatched feel thanks to our proprietary manufacturing process, which allows us to blend tradition and innovation.”

The Y Grind wedge is available in 46°, 48°, 50°, 52°, 54°, and 56° lofts, and the C Grind wedge is available in 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60 ° lofts.
