Miura Golf Introduces the
K-Grind 2.0 Milled Wedge
Equipment
Timeless craftsmanship merges with
modern techniques to produce the next
generation of the handcrafted K-Grind
milled wedge from Miura
Miura Golf today introduced the latest
addition to its growing product line
by giving one of its most iconic clubs
a modern upgrade. Following in the
footsteps of the original 1957 K-Grind
wedge, the new K-Grind 2.0 features
the signature knuckled sole of the 1957
model, but adds cutting-edge milling
techniques for an unrivaled combination
of functionality and feel.
The new K-Grind 2.0 from Miura
features the signature knuckled sole that
enables the clubface to remain square
at impact. The three knuckles deliver
increased playability through every type
of turf.
Given the proven staying-power of the
K-Grind, the Miura family craftsmen
sought to maintain the integrity of the
original design by preserving the fluted
sole that enables the clubface to remain
square at impact. The three knuckles
deliver increased playability through
every type of turf. The K-Grind 2.0 sole
grind features increased bounce and roll
along with heel and toe relief designed to
stabilize golfers’ swings of all skill levels.
Club Face Now Fully Milled
The other significant evolution of the line
is evident on the clubface of the wedge.
To keep in line with the modern style of
play, the face and grooves of the K-Grind
2.0 have been fully milled to provide
increased spin on intermediate and full
shots.
The K-Grind 2.0 is hand-forged in Himeji,
Japan, using Miura’s time-honored 14-
step manufacturing process. It is offered
in five lofts, from 52° to 60°.
“The K-Grind 2.0 is the next generation
of the trusted and distinctive product
line that performs dependably through
every turf,” said Hoyt McGarity,
President of Miura Golf. “With this club,
we have produced a superior wedge that
is just as versatile as it is visually striking.”
The K-Grind 2.0 is available at Miura
Golf authorized dealers around the
globe or at www.miuragolf.com. On the
manufacturer’s website, customers can
also design a custom K-Grind 2.0 with a
choice of 19 branded shaft options and
14 diverse grips.
