“Named for Yoshitaka Miura, the Y-grind's softer leading edge adds spin and control for the neutral-to-steep player around the greens. The gap-to-sand loft range makes it the versatile scoring option in the forged wedge series.”
Named for Yoshitaka Miura -- Katsuhiro Miura's elder son, who became Miura Giken's General Manager in 2006 and took on oversight of manufacturing when his father stepped back as president in 2010 -- the Y-Grind is built for players with a neutral-to-steeper attack angle. Its softer leading-edge grind digs slightly more readily than the C-Grind's sweep-friendly sole, generating extra spin and control on shots that come down steeper into the turf. Forged through Miura's 14-step process from the same fine-grain soft carbon steel as the rest of the current wedge series, it is the control-and-spin half of Miura's paired C-Grind/Y-Grind general-play wedges.
Strong, consistent user and press praise (MyGolfSpy's 'Series 1957' wedge review, user comments calling it 'the softest feeling wedges I have ever played') establishes it as a well-regarded current product, but as an actively-sold, regularly-updated (standard/Raw/QPQ) model it hasn't accumulated the scarcity-driven reverence of an older, discontinued Miura design.
Players with a neutral-to-steep angle of attack who want extra spin and control on full and partial shots into the green -- a good complement to a descending, driver-heavy strike. Sweepers/pickers should choose the C-Grind instead; the softer leading edge here is tuned for digging contact, not gliding across tight turf.
Sold alongside the C-Grind and K-Grind 2.0 as Miura's current forged wedge series, reflecting the industry-wide move toward multiple wedge grinds per brand pioneered by Titleist Vokey's grind matrix and adopted across the category through the 2010s.
Same tour-milled, compact-profile family as the C-Grind: the softer leading edge helps a steeper swinger's turf interaction and spin consistency, but this is a shot-making tool for skilled players, not a forgiveness play. Scored in line with Miura's other players' wedges, well below a wide-sole game-improvement wedge.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Used prices run roughly $110-$170 per wedge in 2026 against an original retail near $275 each; as with the C-Grind, Raw and QPQ finishes hold slightly firmer resale interest than standard chrome due to cosmetic demand among Miura collectors.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
