Godfather1

I only switched to nippon at the end of september. :o

Well I'm stumped :-D

Well I ordered them in June so I hope Mr. Ishihara is forging, plating, and grinding it himself, otherwise its a bit long.

Well I have a set of scratch cb's on the way so are you saying that moz, and scratch are basically the same except for the design? If so how do they compare or contrast?

I am looking to get either a set of mp-27, gauge combo, or moz combo if possible. I wanted to know if anyone can give me thier view on any of these irons, and compare if possible. I also wanted to know if they have a site?

I don't think it's such a bad design. To me it looks like the x blade cb's with a cutout where the tungsten would be, and with some pizzaz. I would give these a try right after I can decide on the m-stamp-27 or gauge combo, those are classic.

The 950, and 1050 are 2 totally different shafts the 950 is ,more of a swinger shaft, and the 1050 is more of a hitter/ faster swing speed. I had the 950 put into my fw tipped to play like the 1050 so I can get the lighter weight, and I love them. I have tried them in my irons also, but I am switching to the 1050 the ball flight of the 950 is a bit too high for me, and I want the heavier shaft in my irons.

First I would like to thank Chris for getting me these, and Joe for helping me with the shafts. Well I just got back from the range, I am not the type who needs time to warm up to clubs it feels good or it doesn't, and my first impression is real good. These feel very solid at impact, and unlike my mp-001 the face on the gauge feels hotter, the miz. feel is a little dead to me. I had these shafted with nippon 950, and these are just like shooting pellets, for me this combo really works. While I hit the miz. vey well it's just not the same the ball seems to jump off the face, and I found it easier off the tee than the v steel. So for me it I won't be looking for a fw for a while, I know I have said this before, but now I mean it.

Wow, I am very interested to see how those will come out , great experiment indeed!!

Chris, how does the flat black wear compared to the gauge teflon or satin?

If that is the case like I said before I would go mp-ux1/mp-27 or if you want domestic you can go with the new titleist 503h/704. It really depends on how far you want to go, but the list goes on. Also do you prefer hybrid irons or woods?

Can you get the milled option on the custom miz.?

When you say hybrid what do you mean cb/mb or actual hybrids? I would think something like mp-ux1/27/30 combo would be very nice.

Wow those are nice, first the hiro's, and now these with these options your rockin my world. :laugh:

Now with these new pics I can see the minimal offset of the hiro's, the gauge look longer from heel to toe am I correct?

I would love to come down, I was actually in mission hills a couple of weeks ago, and it will be a while until the next visit, now with christmas season starting I'm real busy.

I guess it could be the angle that makes the hiro look as if it has more offset. Can you compare the 2 in terms of playability, feel...the cavity looks deepeer on the hiro's are they more forgiving? Are they really worth it over the gauge or m-stamps I'm looking to get either one of these.

Wow, your killing me here, first I couldn't decide between the gauge or miz. combo for next season, and now these. The sole on the gauge looks wider, but it looks like the hiro's have more offset. The hiro's look real nice, but from the pics it looks like a chrome finish , can you get them in satin or black? Anyways I can't wait for the review.

I think it's pretty recent , I didn't see them last week. I spoke to Bill at miura, and he claims miura NA is taking a whole different approach than miura japan. He also said mr. miura owns most of the company, and that it's a different company than japan (miura giken)

I was thinking of a combo 27/32 m stamp set for the next season. Just wondering can anyone compare to the hiro's or the gauge cb/mb?

I would't recommend combing three different iron sets, each one is designed to work differently. I currently have a set of scratch which I decided based on that they are done by Ishihara so I didn't have to worry about quality, and I got to choose my specs. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the set's you mentioned, I am actually also thinking of going m stamp combo for the new season, but I don't think you should combine different companies. I can't tell you what makes the hiro irons so much more, but they look very nice maybe Chris can comment more on the hiro's. You can get all of the stuff you mentioned from Chris username tourspecgolfer, he runs this site, but I don't know if he is selling indiv.. Hope this helps.

I know the feeling I had reconstructive nerve/tendon surgery on my hand last december, and it still bothers me. I first started with putting, and chipping, then partial shots ...until I was finally able to swing a club. My sur. told me lift weights moderately like 5 lb. and I used the powerball which did wonders, another good thing I used are those balls that you squeeze. One thing I'M telling like everyone else don't go full to soon, one guy by my therapist popped his tendon lifting his laundry too soon. I don't know if this will help for your injury, but I iced my hand after every time I practiced golf.Hope this helps.

Ari, where is the copper plating done? Is it done by the same chrome plater?

I have the 950's in my irons, and woods, with another set with the 1050's after having the dg s300. The nippon's are a much smoother shaft, and the feel is great not harsh, but not soft. I didn't gain in distance, but I am much more consistent with these.

I have to say mizuno, and scratch for obvious reasons.
