Color me unimpressed. Nicklaus has never been known to make any club worth a crap.

So Miura’s are crap? Hot take.

Are they making a 1 iron?

First off, none of you probably can or should hit blades. Second, Miura has made a hell of a name of himself and makes very good equipment. 3rd, my take is actually factual. Any equipment Nicklaus has put his name on has been a disaster. This isn’t an opinion. It’s a fact. He’s equipment over the years has been horrible and his sales numbers back that up. So my “take” is actually just me saying what pretty much everyone already knows.

Blades (any iron for that matter) should be played by whomever enjoy them. I taught myself to play and all I’ve ever played or felt comfortable playing are blades. If you like the look, feel and performance of whatever style iron you play, who’s to say they are right or wrong.

Watch the video by Mark Crossfield comparing mishits between old blades and new tech irons with matching lofts. You might be surprised which iron had more deviation on mishits. There is no technology that is going to save bad strikes.

Everyone wants to push mid-high handicappers towards game improvement irons. But a relevant component is whether or not you feel confident looking down at address. There is something that works for everyone but not a one size fits all answer for all players and handicaps.

Man, people get real defensive about blades. They’re gorgeous and they demand great ball striking. Unfortunately majority of amateur golfers can’t and won’t hit the sweet spot consistently. Why? Cause they don’t have the experience. Some blades these days (Srixon for instance) sale blades and they really imo aren’t a true blade. I don’t think it’s up for a debate but blades are for people who are very good ball strikers who care to shape their shot. If you look at the top 10 or even 20 players in the world majority of them don’t play blades. They played forged cavity backs. They just don’t feel the need to hit them. If you choose to sure. It’s really about confidence to me with any club. But I’ve played a ton of competitive golf with guys who use blades and most of them can’t hit them consistently. If that’s you then good on you.

I’m not one of the guys who pushes people to play GI irons. If you’re shooting in the 80s consistently then you should probably be playing more or a forged iron. So i agree with this. But, Most amateur golfers are shooting 90-100.

Agreed. They’re freaking gorgeous. I personally am too big of a broke azz to buy these and wouldn’t but people are gonna go crazy for them. I’m not bashing the irons. Just stating anything Nicklaus has done truly off the golf course has been borderline disastrous
