At Miura, a finish is never just cosmetic. It is an extension of the forging process—designed to preserve feel, protect performance, and express the character of each head. From evolving patinas to timeless polish, each finish reflects Miura’s commitment to precision, consistency, and uncompromising standards.
Below, we explore four distinct Miura finishes: Satin Chrome, Raw, Black QPQ, and Copper.
Satin Chrome: The Standard at Miura
Miura’s Satin Chrome finish is the brand’s classic look—built for longevity and corrosion resistance while preserving Miura’s legendary feel, sound, and performance.
The Process
After forging, each head goes through Miura’s multi-step polishing process, including centrifugal barrel polishing to prepare the surface for plating, followed by dedicated Satin Chrome prep and final buffing.
Timeless Consistency
The result is a refined silver finish that stays consistent over time while preserving Miura’s crisp lines and premium feel. Head weights remain standard, forming the baseline from which other finishes—like Copper and QPQ—are precisely engineered.
Raw: Pure Metal. Pure Feedback.
A raw finish leaves the clubhead uncoated—no chrome plating, no protective layer—allowing the forged steel to remain in its natural state. The result is a softer, more connected feel at impact and a surface that evolves through oxidation.
Feel & Feedback
Without a plated barrier between ball and steel, raw heads deliver enhanced responsiveness. Many players prefer this added feedback for precise distance control and shot shaping.
Patina & Performance
Raw finishes oxidize naturally when exposed to air and moisture, developing a unique patina. This change is cosmetic and does not affect structural integrity. As the surface evolves, increased texture can support consistent spin—particularly in damp conditions.
Raw is available on select scoring clubs and irons, including the Tour Wedge High Bounce, the 2024 Forged Y & C Grind Wedges, and the KM-700 Raw. For players who value unfiltered feedback and evolving character, raw represents Miura at its most pure.
Black QPQ: Durability Without Compromise
Miura’s Black QPQ finish delivers a deep, refined black appearance while preserving the legendary feel, sound, and performance expected from a Miura iron.
The Process
QPQ (Quench Polish Quench) is a diffusion-based treatment—not plating. The pigment is embedded into the top layer of steel through a meticulous 14-step process. The result is exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and rich visual depth.
Precision in Every Gram
QPQ adds slightly more mass than satin. To maintain identical performance and feel, each QPQ head starts 3 grams lighter than its satin counterpart before treatment. Three grams may seem small—but at Miura tolerances, it is everything. This attention to detail ensures zero compromise in swing weight, balance, or performance.
Over time, QPQ may develop subtle wear patterns in high-impact areas like the face and sole. These changes are cosmetic only and do not affect durability or performance.
Copper: Vintage Character, Evolving Depth
A copper finish is a premium, multi-step treatment that delivers exceptional feel, a rich vintage aesthetic, and a surface that evolves over time. When paired with Miura’s forging process, copper contributes to a smooth yet responsive feel at impact—delivering clear, precise feedback throughout the set.
The Process
Miura’s copper finish is achieved through a layered plating process. The head is copper plated first, followed by a black nickel layer applied over the copper. The head is then carefully buffed back to expose portions of copper beneath. This final step is what creates the finish’s vintage appearance—revealing more of the forged grain structure and giving the head its distinctive depth and character.
Natural Wear
Over time, the black nickel layer gradually wears through use, revealing more copper underneath. No two sets age the same—each develops a unique look based on how and where it’s played. The visual wear and patina are purely cosmetic and do not affect the structural integrity or performance of the clubhead.
Headweight & Finish Differences
Copper-finished heads use standard head weights, consistent with Miura’s satin finishes. This is distinctly different from QPQ, which is a diffusion-based process rather than a plated finish. Because QPQ adds material differently, QPQ heads are heavier—requiring raw heads to start lighter before treatment. Currently featured on the KM-700 Copper, this finish pairs one of Miura’s most iconic iron designs with a look that continues to evolve with play.
Whether you prefer the timeless consistency of Satin Chrome, the purity of Raw, the durability of Black QPQ, or the evolving character of Copper, every Miura finish is engineered to uphold the same standard: uncompromised feel, precise performance, and exacting craftsmanship.
The difference isn’t performance. It’s personality.
