Miura Forged Blades
The introduction of a smaller iron comes at a time when the industry trend is towards mid and oversized irons.
“Industry fads mean nothing to me,” said forged iron maker Katsuhiro Miura. “These fads are developed by the marketing departments of the equipment manufacturers simply to boost sales and have little to do with performance.
“What I care about is creating the most perfect, performing clubs for golfers and different golfers have different preferences. I believe there is a class of golfer who will very much appreciate the qualities of the Small Blade, coupled with the correct shaft, and I have made this club for these golfers.”
Miura says the club is designed for golfers who usually strike the ball on the sweetspot and are looking for good feedback on each shot.
“Frankly, if people can cleanse their minds of the marketing hype that has been fed to them over the years, they might find that the forged blades are not necessarily only for the single digit handicappers,” said Miura.

“You are not penalized for mis-hit shots to the degree people believe and there are many advantages to these clubs,” he added. “For example, the Small Blade cuts through rough more efficiently than any other club.”
The Small Blade is available in three iron through nine iron, with a pitching wedge. A two iron is also optional.
