Miura x Curry irons: 300 sets, $5,000 and a 6-iron bent to 30°

Where the 6 should be on the sole of the 6-iron, Miura has stamped “30”, Stephen Curry’s shirt number, and bent the club to 30° of loft to match. It is the only club in the set with a non-standard loft.

Miura will sell 300 sets, at $5,000 each, from 19 October.

The 5° gap at the 6-iron

The set combines two Miura models in the black QPQ finish: the TC-202 cavity back for the 4-, 5- and 6-irons and the MB-101 blade from the 7-iron to the pitching wedge. Miura says the set is inspired by the irons in Curry’s own bag, and GOLF.com reports that he has played a mix of these two models since leaving Callaway last year.

On Miura’s spec sheets a standard TC-202 6-iron is 29° and a standard MB-101 7-iron is 34°, so a combo built from stock heads has a 5° jump where the set changes from cavity to blade. Between the 4-iron and the 9-iron, all the other gaps are 3° or 4°; the pitching wedge, at 47°, is 5° from the 9-iron.

At 30°, the 6-iron sits 4° from both the 5-iron (26°) and the 7-iron (34°).

From 4-iron to pitching wedge, the lofts are 23°, 26°, 30°, 34°, 38°, 42° and 47°, with lengths running from 38.5in in the 4-iron to 35.75in in the wedge. Those are traditional lofts: the 47° pitching wedge is 4° weaker than the 43° one in Srixon’s ZXi5+, so anyone coming from a modern distance iron will need to check the gap to their gap wedge.

What the extra $2,250 buys

Bought as standard models, the same seven heads cost $2,750 at Miura’s listed prices: $410 a club for the TC-202 QPQ and $380 for the MB-101 QPQ, before any shaft or grip upgrades. The Curry set adds:

• the Curry logo on every head and, on the hosel, “I can do all things”, the line he writes on his basketball shoes;
• custom paintfill and BB&F ferrules with four gold rings, one for each of his NBA championships;
• True Temper Icon grips with two gold rings at each end;
• Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts with an “SC30” flex label (Miura’s own page lists the flex as S400, the standard tour-weight stiff);
• a commemorative box and a certificate of authenticity; 30 of the 300 sets, picked at random, come with a gold certificate signed by Curry.

Miura makes few performance claims. It describes the TC-202 as blending “muscle-back precision with cavity-back forgiveness” and the MB-101 as a blade for players who want “ultimate feel and feedback”. The set has not been independently tested. With blades from the 7-iron to the pitching wedge, it is built for consistent ball-strikers, or for collectors.

On the product page, Curry is quoted on the company rather than the clubs: “Miura’s commitment to perfection and precision has always stood out to me.” An undisclosed share of the proceeds goes to his Underrated Golf Tour, which Miura says runs regional events in the United States and Europe for players from under-represented communities and for women.

Price and availability

The Miura x Curry Iron Set (4-iron to pitching wedge, right-handed only) costs $5,000 on miuragolf.com. Miura says it is a single allocation of 300 sets with no further production; a sell-out would bring in $1.5 million. Without the extras, the same set can be ordered as a standard TC-202 and MB-101 combo through Miura’s online configurator, which has a loft and lie step for setting the 6-iron to 30°.

The product page gives a US-dollar price only, and Miura has not announced a UK price or UK retailer.
