Miura launches hollow-bodied IC-602 irons
While still targeting better players, Miura’s new hollow-bodied, multi-material IC-602 irons also seek to inspire the confidence needed to play a Miura iron in a wider swath of the fitting bell curve.
“The feedback we received from our customers regarding the creation of our new hollow body iron, was that they had no expectations about Miura being the longest one around, but rather would be loyal to the brand providing we deliver a sound and feel consistent with our forged models,” said Shinei Miura. “This epiphany allowed my design process on the IC-602 to become laser focused.”
Miura IC-602 irons: Key technology
- Multi-material construction: 8620 carbon steel is joined with durable chromium molybdenum in the 3 through 9-irons. Miura uses S35C steel in the pitching and gap wedges. Tungsten weights are positioned inside the hollow-bodied designs to dial in launch. Additionally, the company injects a polymer to achieve desired sound and “Miura feel.”
- Miura Versatile Sole (MVS): Engineered for ideal turf interaction thanks to the combination of bounce angle and sole width.
- Optimum CG positioning in each club: Lower in the long irons for higher flight, higher in the short irons for a more penetrating trajectory.
Miura calls the irons its most technologically advanced ever, owing to the incorporation of fitting data insights and an understanding of Face Progression (offset) and impact loft angle.

“What impresses me most about the IC-602 is how Shinei merged the legendary, old-world craftsmanship that his family is known for with new advancements in launch technology and materials,” said Hoyt McGarity, CEO of 8AM Golf. “He made his vision a reality and the golfing world is the beneficiary.”

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
