One year ago, Adam Scott set out to find an iron that fit his “Golf DNA,” – a club inspired by the past but built for the modern player. That search ended in Himeji, Japan with Miura.
Adam Scott has long been known for having one of the greatest swings and being one of the best ball strikers in professional golf. The result of this iron is the culmination of an extensive dialogue among some of the best minds in the golf industry, leading to an iron that has the sight, sound, and feel ideal for one of the best in the game.
Miura has been making the world’s finest forged golf clubs since 1957. Designed and constructed by master craftsman Katsuhiro Miura, each club is individually made using Miura’s patented forging process, resulting in the most elegant and refined irons in the golf industry.
There is little wiggle room when it comes to modifying a blade iron, but transitioning from mid to low irons, paired with the look of the iron from toe to heel, was executed perfectly to Adam Scott’s preference.
Adam Scott grew up playing offset, and despite offset not being as prominent with modern designs, the Miura team was able to decrease the face progression on the irons to his liking.
Adam Scott was looking for specific traits for the sole design. A sole shape that can perform consistently regardless of the various turf conditions seen on the professional circuit.
The inspiration for the branding and box design for the Miura and Adam Scott collaboration comes from the aprons worn by the Miura Craftsman at the factory in Japan.
“I think one of the great things in playing the Miura’s is every time I go out to play or practice, I look down at something that I have been part of creating. But to feel good about looking down at the iron that I really love, and I think that that’s such a huge thing when I head out to the course every day that I love every club in my bag. These Miura irons have made a big difference.”
Miura-san believes as much in the form of his irons as he does the function. An eloquently forged iron should have a similarly beautiful finish, which is why equal attention is paid to the final steps of the manufacturing process, polishing, producing a smooth club head without any sharp, harsh edges.
“I really want my set of irons to be approved by Miura-san. I think if he approves this set of irons and it gets his stamp of approval, then they’re legit. I hold what he does in such high regard and his commitment to excellence in this field for so many years, to have his stamp next to my name on a set of clubs is a really cool piece of history for me in the game of golf.”
The AS-1 irons come complete with a commemorative box which displays as much attention to detail with premium quality materials that mirror the irons themselves. Each box also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
