Miura built a set of irons with Steph Curry, and only 300 of them will ever exist. That's the whole story right there. This is a collector's drop, not an iron launch, and those two things are not the same thing. It goes live Monday, October 19. So let's go through what's actually in the set, the certificate split collectors are going to argue about, and who should be spending money here.
What's new
It's a combo set, and that's the part I like most. TC-202 QPQ heads in the long irons, 4 through 6. MB-101 QPQ heads from the 7-iron down through the pitching wedge. That's the mix out of Steph's own bag. Normally you'd build that split yourself, one head at a time, with a fitter. Here it shows up in one box.
Then there's the 6-iron, which isn't stamped with a 6 at all. It's stamped 30, his jersey number, and it's bent to 30 degrees of loft instead of the usual 29. One degree. You are never going to feel that on the golf course. That's not a spec change, that's a tribute, and it's my favorite thing in the set.
The stamping is where the money actually goes. "I can do all things" sits on the hosel, and that's the one you'll keep looking at, because it's on the part of the club you see at address. His logo is on the back of every head. The black and gold paint picks out four gold rings on the ferrule, one for each championship, and those rings show up again on the grips. Two on the bottom, two on top. Small stuff, but small stuff is the entire point of a 300-set run.
Now if you actually intend to play these, know this going in. Every set comes with the Dynamic Gold Tour Issue SC30 Flex shaft and True Temper Icon grips. One build, his build. So you're buying Steph's spec and not yours, and a fitter can't move that without you taking a wrench to a collector's item.
The box is a real box, too. Both logos on the lid, a basketball net design across the ends, and inside the top you get his signature, sketches of him and a message. Keep it. On a run this small, the packaging is part of what you own.
Here's the detail nobody's leading with. Of the 300 sets, 270 come with a white Certificate of Authenticity and Curry's digital signature. The other 30 come with a champagne colored certificate he signed by hand. Same irons. Very different piece of paper.
Who it's for
If you already play Miura and you're a Curry fan with the budget, you stopped reading three paragraphs ago. Good. Go.
If this would be your first set of Miuras, slow down a second. I haven't hit these. But nobody chases one of 300 sets to fix their ball striking, and Miura has never been the cheap end of the rack. The price wasn't announced in what I've seen, so ask Miura or Fairway Jockey before you build a budget around it.
And honestly, how you get one matters more than the irons do. Fairway Jockey held back one set, you enter your email address, and if you're picked you get 30 minutes on October 19 to pay for it. Thirty minutes. Read that part carefully, because it's a chance to buy, not a giveaway. So get your email in before Monday or don't be annoyed about it Tuesday. If what you really want this winter is lower scores, skip the whole thing and go get fit for irons built around your numbers.
