People are amazed that master craftsman Katsuhiro Miura, who is often referred to in the Japanese media as having the Hands of God, actually works hands-on in his factory every day. He passes down his knowledge and skills to his two sons, and even grinds the club heads himself as well. His endless quest for the perfect club has brought to the world over 10 series of Miura clubs, a number that continually grows as he continues his meticulous refinement.

When golfers see a Miura club for the first time, and actually hold it in their hands, there is a common shared experience – LOVE at first sight. And like trying to define love, no words can seem to describe the absolute exhilaration one gets from swinging a Miura club, it is something that one needs to FEEL to discover.

There is a passing point…when you pass from acquaintance to friend, from novice to serious student — from casual golfer to committed competitor. Your golf clubs can have a passing point, too — a new level, where they become more than just 14 tools in a bag. They become friends in their own right.

“What does the term ‘friendly’ mean in a golf club?” This is the question Shinei and Yoshitaka Miura — sons of company founder Katsuhiro Miura — asked themselves as they designed the new forged Passing Point 9003 iron. The answer to their question is a club of surpassing utility, ease of play, and yes — friendliness.

As they develop and mature in the game, golfers face a long list of challenges. The Miura sons maintain that a friendly club doesn’t force the player into positions and make quick corrections, but rather helps each player reach his or her potential.

In the MIURA tradition of melding functional golf design with an artistic eye, Shinei and Yoshitaka crafted a wider sole to help with effective turf interaction. Yet the sole takes an elegant shape that doesn’t look oversized. Likewise, the offset is designed to flow naturally into the club head to preserve a confident look at address, but still benefit players who need some help squaring the club face at impact.

The throughly researched and tested PP-9003 design places the center of gravity low for a high, soft-landing flight that still holds its line and never balloons.

And as with all MIURA clubs, the weight and balance are obsessively consistent throughout the set.

“The Passing Point brand pursues usability and performance as the core fundamental tools,” Shinei says. “We believe the strong usability and performance can make it easier to plan each shot and help each golfer use his skills to the fullest,” Yoshitaka adds.

Positioned as a stepping stone to the MIURA clubs intended for better players, Passing Point is MIURA’s way of reaching out to all golfers. Anyone who plays the game deserves a great forged club — and Passing Point is the newest place to begin that eternal journey towards golf excellence.”

This driver launches the ball high and keeps the unnecessary spin off the ball. The Driving Cavity Design contributes to ideal CG height, CG depth, and the weight distribution for strong trajectory with excellent down range projection.
TOE & HEEL BALANCE

* Head forgiving to miss-hits
* Wider sweet spot

STRONG/RIGID SOLE

* Better transfer of energy to ball, stronger ball flight
* Better sound and impact feel

DESIGN

* Widens sole surface, easier to achieve lower CG
* Gives more freedom/latitude in design
* Ease of setting CG for various target
* Head sits better on turf and comfortable setting up
* Less sole contact surface, superior turf interaction
* Unique to Royal Collection

Moreover, slightly shallower and wider profile provides playability and forgiveness.

The JP104 hybrid is made of stainless steel SUS630 and its cavity sole and dimples ensure the most efficient turf interactions from tough situations – from the rough, fairway bunkers and imperfect lies in the other areas of golf course.

It’s fairway wood like launch and flatter iron like trajectory with down range projection is achieved with a deep center of gravity location set up for just the right spin rate. Combined with wider sweet spot it is the ultimate hybrid. The patented sole design maximizes stability from even the poorest lie.

The JP104FH will achieve higher but strong trajectory with descent angle around 50 degrees, which enables players to take dead aim at any target from long range. Its fairway wood like profile visually helps players who dislike typical hybrids.

In order to ensure the most effective turf interactions, Royal Collection has modified the signature “driving cavity.” JP104FH’s have milder rails which blend into the contour of the sole. The result is highly versatile sole especially effective from firmer and less forgiving lies.
