Miura TC-201 Iron Rod Specifications and Design
Miura’s new TC-201 iron rod features a muscle backed blade design, but due to increased fault tolerance, it has slightly higher sales in the mass market.
Unlike Miura’s other base plates, TC-201 has a small cavity on the back of the forged (S20C) soft carbon steel rod head. This combination means that the TC-201 iron has a classic muscular back blade iron in both appearance and feel, which is very suitable for ball shaping, but has some additional fault tolerance compared to other Miura MB models.
The TC-201 iron pole is sold at eight standard pole angles of iron pole 3 (21 degrees), iron pole 4 (23 degrees), iron pole 5 (26 degrees), iron pole 6 (29 degrees), and iron pole 7 (33 degrees) 8 iron rod (37 degrees), 9 iron rod (41 degrees), and splitting rod (46 degrees).
The Miura TC-201 is a “Tour Cavity” model sitting somewhere between a true muscle-back and full-fledged cavity-back iron. As such, Miura describes it as the “perfect complement” to the recently released MB-101. That said, aesthetically the TC-201 has more in common with the pseudo-muscle back, MC-502.
With the TC-201, a notched cavity distributes weight toward the toe and heel which helps provide stability and forgiveness (MOI). A progressive weight pad (thicker in the short irons, thinner in the long irons) moderates the CG location. The result is a higher CG in short irons for a lower, more controllable flight and lower CG in the long irons to help promote higher launch with less spin.
