Ereim Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Have they released this finish before? I was about to pull the trigger on some TC-201, but saw these with the QPQ finish drop today. Might order these instead. Anyone have experience with this finish? Here’s their marketing bit: Miura’s Black QPQ finish is the product of a careful, labor-intensive process that works the pigment into the top layer of steel in the golf club head. The resulting finish has an appealing depth, is durable and retains the feel and performance of a Miura iron. Over time, the Black QPQ will wear into a patina, especially on the parts of the club that contact the ball and the ground — that is, the face and the sole. This finishing process does not affect the quality or durability of the club. But of course, it does change the appearance over time. 2 Quote Callaway, Titleist, Miura, Mizuno, Piretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh L. Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Not sure if this is a new formula, but their previous black finish was not durable, after 3-5 shots the finish was almost completely gone from the sole, and the lower portion of the face. I may have a photo of it, I'll see if I can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb2golf Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 As mentioned previous black finish wore quickly, and even rusted easily if you didn’t carefully dry them after play. The new one sounds designed the same way, saying that it will patina over time. It’s cool at first but just does not look reflective of the wear actually on the irons. At least with the old finish, after a few sessions the black looked like you played several seasons on it. Chrome is the way to go imo, unless you just like your $3,000 irons looking like you got them out of the bargain barrel after half a season.

Ereim Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Got bored because my course is closed until Friday for aerification. Decided to strip the paint from my Miuras. Not sure if I’m going to add any paint back as I kind of like the look. 2 Quote Callaway, Titleist, Miura, Mizuno, Piretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobfoster Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I got a 52* and 58* (high bounce) with the QPQ finish a short time ago. Have only played 4 rounds with them and had a couple of range sessions, but as of yet there is zero sign of wear (of course, that's not saying much). Would take a picture, but FedEx picked my clubs up today (have a charity tourney in Sarasota this weekend, and Ship Sticks is way easier than lugging them through airports). I will say this - these are the first Miuras I've ever bought, and they are, without a doubt, the best wedges I've ever played. The balance, the feel, the incredible subtleties of the clubhead design. (Plus, I holed out a long sand shot on the first round I played with them - a very good omen). And they are just drop dead gorgeous.
