All of these years I thought my club is a forged one :(

Tw72x series are now on sale. I got one set already! Highly recommended.

- Writings on 901 has cleaner edges while in 727 you can see that it is stamped with high pressure. - Fonts for clubnumber on 901 is somehow thinner and more classy - Paint on writings on 901 is more even like it has been done very carefully - You can see grind traces on 727 clubface (use a magnifier if you can't, I saw Miura and it has more visible grind traces). - Ferrule on 901 has gold ring - And TW901 sole has an slight S curve for gliding the turf while TW727 has straight lines. (For me it's like a Porsche's detail :)) My Assumption: Tw901 belongs to Beres lines not TourWorld (I also spent more dollars for the that clubs than for the tw727). Maybe they create a new line, the Tour World line for pro and serious golfer who don't prioritize the finishing quality above functions. I saw the new Beres IS-05 line and I have to say their details are there and very astonishing. TW727 is still a damn very very great club. It was my observation only and has nothing to do with functions. PS: Long time ago I worked simulating robotic arms for high pressure hydraulic press control system for various applications such as pre-forming press for automobile piston blocks etc. It is amazing that similar process is used intensively for making golf clubs.

See the picture below tw901 has better finish than tw727.

Kudos Honma! It's so beautiful

How happy are you with your MB-5005? Are they forgiving and consistent (distant, dispersion) enough? Their shape is pure a love or hate design.

Thanks Chris. Yes, I think Internet is too biased and very difficult to get objective point of views. The crowd will always be polarized into two groups: lovers and haters. And like other hobbies, from lovers comes esoteric cult :)) I think I made up my mind. I keep my 10 years old TW and look for new iteration from Honma. Rgds,

Guys, Frankly I am tired reading irrational, mythical, one sided reviews and comments around certain JDM brands. I need an really a honest and useful comments for these iron types: 1. Miura MB-5005: looks nice but cavity design is really weird because normally mass is concentrated behind sweet spot to create highest torque and momentum. This is a simple physics. Forgiveness in on question, but I think with large club it must be forgiving. And the most important thing is: it is a "blade" and that tempts me so much. everybody wants to play blades as long they are easy to hit. ;) 2. Miura CB-1008: design has better common sense than MB-5005 but it resembles my current club very much (honma tw901). What t chnical advantages will I get by switching? 3. Honma tw727V: basically an iteration from my older club with expectation that 6 years younger club can bring some forgiveness. But I doubt it, from outside the finish quality is certainly lower than tw-901. I think currently everybody is pressing production cost to survive the economy. 4. Mizuno MP-4: is my last option, for $450 is a steal, by technology they must be close the the previous three minus brand snobs. I always like Honma for their finish quality, I saw and touch Miura clubs and I don't see any indication for the highly praised precision from outside, it's simply a hand grinded clubs. A CNC machine can never be beaten by human hands and please don't tell me that Mr. Miura has God hands. I also hit some passing point models and CB-501, yes they are soft with a bit click sound but it's not like addictive gourmet restaurant. It's simply a nice clubs. Since I can get Honma for $200 less, I am still justifying my purchase for Miura. I don't change clubs that often and ready to spend more but not for bullcraps and hypes. Thank you guys for your response in advance. (Currently I use Honma TW 901. They are good, feels at at sweet spots. But they already have a lot of scratches and dings) thank you!

Use the 9xx series, but played often with people with 7xx and 8xx series. The 7xx club and wood are good, I am impress with distance created with it, But I don't think that the club has draw bias for slicers.

I am not sure, since New Miuras will come soon (us and japan model). I assume tsg has stocks before the news spreads. Personally, I think like in this forum only "perverse" golfers who like to write here and they use "blades" :))) While ordinary mortals who buy compromising clubs like this passing point have no time for chatting in this forum. :))))

I am quoting Chris' statement, just asked the same question today. Assume it's a bigger blade with less blade like feeling. I am confused now, should I buy CB-1006 or PP-9001??? Or wait a while until CB-1007 with cooler design coming? ( if any will come out :))) ) QUOTE(vincenti @ Apr 21 2007, 03:22 PM) * I saw in the Chris' Shop, the Miura's Passing Point is available via TSG. What kind of club is that? For whom does it match? We have sold lots, wondering why people are not posting much about them. Its just a bigger version of the CB-1006. not as blade like.

Yeah, maybe it's only a lot of marketing only. Tnx for the info.

Have one in my bag, UT 3W. It's amazing and has saved me from the Anger of God of Golf. It's a face club, anyway it's better than Sonartec md. Md rolls and rolls, I can't control my shot with that.

Saw in one websited selling Beres Putters (kakaku). I never see them in real and I don't know whether they are good for the money. Anybody has experience with it? As long as I know, Honma's putter are not special. Thanks, V
