Six years ago, Miura introduced the TC-201 irons, designed to provide the best possible blend of playability and increased forgiveness. The success of that series has now led to the creation of the next generation: TC-202. The irons feature center mass weight distribution, inspired by the Miura CB-57, assuring a solid impact feel, stability, and maneuverability.

The T-Weight Bar is Optimized for Each Iron and the Ideal Ball Flight

A critical enhancement to the TC-202 is the T-Weight Bar, which facilitates the precise distribution and density of weight in the club head. This innovation has optimized trajectory control, spin consistency, and forgiveness. The precision of the T-Weight Bar (pictured above) delivers a powerful sound and feel. There is also variable depth throughout, making each iron, from the 3-iron to the gap wedge, unique and optimal for each specific shot.

The sole design of the TC-202 is highlighted by Miura’s iconic Y grind leading edge which promotes efficient and powerful turf interaction, and more importantly, a club head delivered to square at impact. Miura craftsmen have refined the Y Grind of the TC-202 by taking into account years of feedback and lessons learned from watching, and speaking with, golfers of all skill levels. The result is that golfers will benefit from a grind that has optimized width, including leading and trailing edge relief.

Bill Holowaty, COO, Miura Golf, said:

“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. 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.”

The variable depth through the T-Weight Bar that is featured in the TC-202 has an impact on every iron in the series. For short irons, precision weighting enables trajectory and distance control that is similar to that of a muscle-back. For mid irons, greater cavity presence enhances feel and control. And finally, a lower center of gravity provides forgiveness that is not typically found in long irons.

Shinei Miura, son of the legendary Katsuhiro Miura:

“At Miura Golf, we recognize that a properly designed iron head must deliver performance in addition to being aesthetically pleasing. Our proprietary manufacturing process and attention to detail has allowed us to produce the next generation TC-202 without compromising performance for looks. We provide the best of both.”

While the use of 3D printers and CNC milling machines is increasingly prevalent in modern-day club manufacturing, the Miura family remains committed to traditional forging and maintaining the industry’s tightest tolerances. Each TC-202 iron will be meticulously handcrafted, ensuring unmatched precision and feel.

Hoyt McGarity, CEO of 8AM Golf, said:

“Developing the perfect blend of features from both muscle-back and cavity-back irons clearly meets the evolving needs of all levels of players, and the TC-202 has achieved this feat. With half a century of skilled craftsmanship and a spirit of constant innovation, Shinei Miura has taken the best attributes from our favorite Miura irons and combined them into one refined package that will appeal to a wide range of golfers.”
