This week during the Memorial’s practice rounds, Scott debuted a custom set of muscleback blade irons from Miura, the legendary forging house in Japan led by founder Katsuhiro Miura, whom the Japanese golf media once labelled as having “the hands of God.”
TaylorMade’s popular P·790 players distance iron, which features a hollow construction, tungsten weighting and a springy L-shaped face insert, now comes in an all-black PVD-coated version.
The role of the sole tends to be a little under appreciated when it comes to forgiveness, and especially in the realm of super game-improvement irons, clubs whose users tend to hit the big ball (the earth) before the little ball a little too often.
All three Apex irons have cupfaces designed by artificial intelligence and tungsten encased in urethane with microspheres (tiny bubbles of air within the urethane).
Partnering with HP & Parmatech, Cobra also is using 3D printing to design, prototype and test multiple iterations of a product much faster than conventional methods.
In honour of Tiger’s 81st career victory, the company has released just 81 sets of beauties worldwide, each one uniquely stamped to signal its rarity (i.e. 1 of 81) and made to Tiger’s exact specifications.
