Posted June 8, 20159 yr comment_242270 Coming this month to the TSG Pro Shop the all new Miura Giken Passing Point PP-9005 Forged Cavity Irons, labelled NEO this time it's a big departure from how Miura irons have been made in the past, This is the first multipiece design I can remember from Miura that has a Forged S25C body that is separate from the face which is a J.I.S SUP-10 Steel. The PP-9005 also comes with a deep undercut cavity lowering the center of gravity and also allowing Miura to gain more head size without gaining as much head weight which equals the more forgiving Miura everyone has been asking for. Miura Giken also has a new finish that uses a separate surface treatment called Accurise Coat which is supposed to reduce friction during turf contact. On top of this they also feature a full copper underlayer for an even softer feel. While this undercut/badge/2 piece iron is new to Miura it also brings in a more modern look like the inside of the cavity which features a carbon style badge that gives it some extra edgeyness but at the same time that comes off looking a little cheap to some.. what has remained is Miura's commitment to minimal offset, a beautiful shape, geared toward the better player and in in the case of the new Passing Point Neo PP-9005 that is no different. In hand photos are and course reviews are just a week or two away.
June 9, 20159 yr comment_242312 I kinda like the look. Very techy..But very un-miura like too I guess.
June 9, 20159 yr comment_242323 I'm wondering though, does Miura have technical ability/know-how to make these clubs themselves at Himeiji? Or do they need to outsource certain parts of the productuon process? With that seperate face material I mean.

June 10, 20159 yr Author comment_242379 I like a lot about it except for the sticker badge thing. Its made in Japan, maybe not fully by Miura but what I like is it does have some forgivenss and distance with the SUP face and 2 piece under cut cavity structure, I also like they use S25C but most of all I like how small it is for a head that has much stuff in it: It's still pretty compact.
June 16, 20159 yr Author comment_242651 Just got word from MG that the 9005 may be a limited edition and that they may no longer produce this head after first delivery due to SUP-10 being limited for this application. They are unable to order or produce a second run as things stand right now.
November 24, 20159 yr Author comment_250094 Chris are these available now. Right now yes, these are not made by Miura but still are very good, I have tried them and it's a very good package of setup & performance, feel is nice surprisingly more spongy than anything else Miura makes, forgiveness and distance is comparable to the 503 and Kuro Forged or VG3. Has the best address view in that undercut semi mid sized class.
