Ever tried Miura in a fitting and thought they feel incredible, but just a little too demanding?

The PI-402 is aimed exactly at that.

It keeps the core of what Miura is known for. Forged feel. Clean shaping. That unmistakable look. But adds a layer of forgiveness that hasn’t always been there in their more traditional models.

A separate face construction and tungsten low in the head help with launch and stability, making it a much more usable iron across a wider range of players.

So if you’ve liked Miura in the past but felt it didn’t quite suit your game, this is probably the model worth trying.

“I swing my 7 iron 80–90mph. What shaft should I play?”

We get asked this a lot.

The honest answer is, speed alone doesn’t tell you enough.

The difference between 80 and 90mph is already significant. That can change weight, flex, and overall profile quite a bit. But more importantly, how you swing matters just as much as how fast you swing.

Two players with similar speeds can need completely different shafts. A more aggressive transition might suit something heavier and stiffer. A smoother tempo might work better with something lighter or softer.

That’s why there isn’t a single answer. In that speed range, there are a lot of shafts that could work.

The key is finding the one that matches your swing, not just your speed.

Did you spot the interesting club in Cam Young’s bag during The Players?

At first glance, it’s fairly standard. GT3 driver. Fairway wood. But look a little closer and it starts to shift.

He’s using an 11° driver, lofted down to 10°, which is still more loft than you’d expect for that level. Then a GT1 fairway and even a GT1 hybrid, something you don’t often see in a tour setup.

The common thread is launch. Each club is there to hit a specific window, not to match the one next to it.

That’s the takeaway.

Just because one model works in the driver doesn’t mean it works in the fairway or hybrid. Tour players don’t build matching sets, they build setups that solve problems.

Different clubs. Different jobs.

“Every hybrid I’ve ever had just wants to go left.”

It’s something we hear a lot in fittings. Hybrids are meant to be easy to launch and versatile, but historically many have been built with draw bias to help players who fight a slice. For some golfers, that can make them feel a little too left.

Clubs like the KING Tec hybrid are starting to approach things differently. The head is designed to sit more neutral, and with adjustable heel and toe weighting plus Cobra’s FutureFit33 hosel, you can really fine-tune the ball flight.

Set it up fade biased to take the left side out of play, or adjust it the other way if you need help turning it over.

It’s a compact hybrid that sits nicely behind the ball and works well as a long iron replacement for players who want launch and forgiveness without feeling like the club is always trying to turn over.

Muscle back. Cavity back. Players iron.

They often look similar in the bag, but the way they’re designed changes how they perform.

Using the Callaway Apex range as an example, you can see how each category is built with a different goal. A muscle back concentrates weight directly behind the centre of the face, giving the purest feel when struck well but offering the least forgiveness. A cavity back spreads that weight around the head, increasing stability across the face and making launch a little easier.

Then you move into players irons like the Ai150. Stronger lofts, more modern construction, and weight placed lower in the head to increase ball speed and forgiveness while still keeping a compact shape.

None of these are “better” than the others. They just do different jobs. The key is finding which type works best for your game, and sometimes even combining them through the set.

When most golfers hear “graphite iron shaft”, they picture something very light and very soft. Something designed purely for slower swing speeds.

That used to be true. Not anymore.

Modern graphite iron shafts now cover a huge range of weights and profiles. Take something like the Fujikura Axiom 125X. Heavy, extremely stiff, and designed for high speed players. Very different from the stereotype.

Steel is still excellent and we fit it all the time. But steel is a relatively fixed material. Graphite gives designers far more freedom to change weight, balance and profile to create very specific performance.

That’s why you’re starting to see more graphite in iron fittings, even for stronger players.

So next time you’re testing irons, it might be worth keeping an open mind. Graphite isn’t just for slower swings anymore.

Why can’t I spin it like a tour player?

It’s easy to put it down to skill or course conditions. But groove wear plays a bigger role than most people think. After enough rounds, grooves lose their edge and spin performance drops off. If your wedges have seen a lot of golf, that matters.

With the launch of SM11, Vokey haven’t reinvented the wheel. They’ve refined it.

The biggest change sits in the lob wedges. Each grind now carries a more consistent centre of gravity, meaning you can access that lower flight, higher spin window without being forced into a single grind. In SM10, the popular T grind launched differently because of how the sole was shaped. In SM11, the flight consistency runs across the range.

Same tour-driven philosophy. Subtle improvements. More choice without sacrificing feel.

If your wedges have been in the bag for a while, it might be worth a closer look.

Is this the best-looking iron in the demo drawer?

The MB-101 is what most people picture when they think of Miura. Compact. Forged. A true blade with that unmistakable feel.

But that’s not the full story.

The KM-700 shows a different side. More forgiveness. More stability. Still fully forged Japanese steel. No foam. No tungsten. Just shaping and weight distribution are handled the traditional way.

Miura doesn’t chase technology for the sake of it. They create performance through design and craftsmanship. And in testing, the KM-700 delivers far more forgiveness than the shape might suggest, without losing the look or feel that defines the brand.

Two very different irons. Same philosophy.

Testing the PING G440 K, we spent some time looking at a familiar miss.

High toe. Slightly turned over. The kind of strike that can normally dive left.

What stood out was how stable it stayed. Spin didn’t jump. The finish wasn’t exaggerated. Even the poorer strikes held their line better than expected.

It’s easy to judge a driver on a perfect swing. The G440 K makes more of a case when you don’t quite find the middle.
