One of the most exciting new additions to the True Spec Matrix is the Miura MC-502 irons. There are not too many places to try Miura golf irons. With their forged hand-crafted club heads, these are premium golf clubs, always custom-made to fit your needs. The Miura MC-502 is a replacement for the MC-501, and for Miura fans, it was a highly anticipated release. If you have had your eye on a set of Miura golf irons, here is what you can expect from the MC-502.
What Is the Difference Between The MC-501 and MC-502?
It makes sense to start from the beginning here. The Miura MC-501 was a really great golf iron and a top seller for Miura golf. However, Miura felt as though there were some refinements to be made that could benefit the golfer.
Softer Toe
The Miura MC-502 irons have a softer toe, something that is noticeable when looking at the club from the top down. This tends to be a look that lower handicap golfers prefer.
Weight Changes
Weight was moved from the back part of the club head into the bottom of the club head. This change helped to improve forgiveness slightly. Golfers notice that the MC-502 is very consistent, and that is something that any player can benefit from.
Less Offset
The Miura MC-502 has less offset than the MC-501. Lower offset amounts give a more streamlined look, something that lower handicap golfers prefer. The changes made to the MC-501 give it a better feel overall.
What Is The Feel Like On The New Miura MC-502?
When we tested the MC-502, the feel was very similar to the TC-201. The bottom line is that when you have a Miura golf iron in your hand, you can expect a buttery feel. Miura works to compete from a distance, forgiveness, and consistency standpoint, but when it comes to feel, they lead the market.
When you make a great swing with the Miura MC-502 in your hands, you are rewarded for it.
Who Should Play The Miura MC-502?
The Miura MC-502 irons are built for the lower-handicap golfer that still wants a bit of forgiveness built into the club head. The Miura MC-502 has your back on an off-center strike, but it also demands that you make solid contact with the golf ball.
When you strike the Miura MC-502 in the center, the feel is pure, and the results are impressive. The subtle refinements made to the MC-502 will only help make this iron more appealing to the lowest handicap golfers.
Final Thoughts
At this point, it’s time to schedule your Miura MC-502 fitting. True Spec locations have this club head in stock in a variety of different shafts. The MC-502 is a golf club that is difficult to find from a testing standpoint; take advantage of the fact that this is in the True Spec Matrix. Your True Spec Master Fitting Professional will give you information on the lie, loft, length, shaft selection, grip selection, and more to help build out the perfect set of MC-502s.
