Not the bulls.
Not the Lamborghini either.
That’s what ChatGPT would tell you if you asked about Miura — because ChatGPT has no context.
So here’s the context:
Nicknamed The Hands of God, I’m talking about Katsuhiro Miura. Miura-san.
The artist of steel. A master forger from Himeji, Japan, the ancestral home of the katana.
The traditional swords of the Samurai.
Miura-san, who passed away in 2025, had one single purpose in life: to craft the finest golf club heads in the world.
The best blades ever made.
And to achieve that, he invented a 14-step forging process that couldn’t be replicated at scale.
Katsuhiro Miura patented a bunch of innovations — including the Cavity Back forging method and techniques to position the center of gravity in the sweetest part... of the sweet spot.
Quoting Hugo Azpiazu Badell in his book “50 Years of Golf”:
“Miura-san received work requests every single day, especially from local players competing on the Japanese Tour — among them members of the Ozaki and Aoki families — as well as wealthy, demanding amateurs who wanted one-of-a-kind, custom-made clubs and were willing to pay whatever it took. ‘Exclusivity has a price,’ he once told me, while showing me a set of heads he had personally modified for the president of a major Japanese corporation.”
Today, a set of Miura** irons** will cost you around 3,000$ without shafts or grips. And yes, they also make woods and putters.
Each club that came out of Miura’s workshop passed through his hands, or through those of his sons, who now carry on the legacy:
Shinei Miura and Yoshitaka Miura.
I’m selling it well, right? Hahahaha, No commission though — unfortunately.
By the way, the website where they sell the clubs runs on Shopify. We tech guys notice these things.
They forge the clubs by hand — not the websites!
Have a great weekend, Miuras. I mean, golfers!
