Drawn from both beauty and function, the new Nicklaus-Miura Commemorative Irons have been created through a collaboration between 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus and Katsuhiro Miura, the master craftsman behind clubmaker Miura Golf.
In 2014, Nicklaus visited the Miura forging house in Himeji, Japan to meet Miura-san and became the second person – after Miura-san – to sit in the grinding line’s first chair. The set’s breathtaking irons, centered on mutual respect and passion, are based on classic Miura blades that have been tweaked in accordance with Nicklaus’ specifications and are the first Miura clubs to bare the golfer’s name in over a decade.
The ultimate goal in this collaboration was for Miura-san to understand Nicklaus’s preferences and then use his design and craftsmanship to deliver a modern version of the Nicklaus blade. Key in the implementation were the “look” and “sole,” both of which were achieved through grinding techniques so subtle that most might not notice unless they were pointed out.

Forged from premium S20C soft carbon steel and finished in satin chrome, the Nicklaus-Miura Commemorative Irons are designed to visually and viscerally delight golf purists, thanks to Miura’s subtle yet painstaking grinding, which moved the centre of gravity of the classic club closer to the ‘toe’ by removing a precise amount of material from the hosel of each individual iron.
If this doesn’t help you golf game we’re not sure what will.
