HELP! (New) Miura "Tour" wedges versus others....which is better?

LYG · August 4, 2019

Playing the "Y" wedges, love them. Want to try one of the two new models, take advantage of milling etc.

May NOT be able to see in person before I order a new 59/60 degree.

Advice?

I played the newer tour milled wedges for about 6-8 months. They are excellent. They have that signature "Miura feel" and to me seemed a little more compact size wise. Very easy to hit all different shots with. They just released a higher bounce model too. I was playing a 52/58 set up and wanted to switch back to 3 wedges so I went back to the 1957 series mainly for price alone but also for a high bounce 55*. I'd check the bay for the used ones in good shape at a much better price point than $300 per wedge.

I have a Y Grind 51, K Grind 56 and 60 in the bag. I picked up a Tour 52 (I think) to replace the Y Grind 51, and while I hit it well on my Skytrak, it hasn't made it into the bag yet (I've had it for several months) as it doesn't quite feel right.

If you're looking to replace the 60, check out the new K Grinds. Mine is the old version, but is likely my favorite club in the bag.

My advice: don't buy any club without hitting them first--or buy them from a reputable site with a buy back period (even at a reduced price.) The clubs you are talking about are both great and any difference is going to be subjective. What I feel about my Miura wedges with my swing is not likely to translate to you hitting them. Plus, put a different shaft on my heads and it makes them different clubs. The same Miura heads on two different shafts swung by two different people are not going to play or feel the same.

I really like everything about the entire new wedge line. I like the setup and feel better than a few previous versions. The milled grooves and face are a nice upgrade as well.

I'm gaming a 52/56 tour wedge and a 60 k grind 2.0. The tour is just awesome. I'm regretting not going with the 60. The k grind is nice, but I just love got the tour performs.

I'm kind of thinking about doing the opposite setup with K 2.0 in 52/56 and tour in the 60. Do you think the K would play better in the lower lofts where maybe you aren't opening it up as much? Do the shapes blend well?

I got the 60° thinking I would use it for bunkers and rough, but I am actually using the 56° with an open face. The 60° is quite good on full swings, so you might be ok with a 52° on the k grind. My playing partner had a full set of k grinds and loves them.

I played the Y 1957 51* wedge along with the older Miura Forged Series 57*. I upgraded to the Miura 2018 Tour Miled wedges - 52/10 and 58/10. They seem a little more compact and seem to spin a little more than the older wedges. The hollow back shape design (nothing hollow as in a cavity or a hole) is so simple but it works great for me. The 58* has a bit of a C grind which makes it easy to hit flop shots and works great as a sand wedge with the 10* bounce. They match my CB 57 irons well. I think the real upgrade is in the CNC milling.
