  1. They are amazing! I set them up with Nippon 750 wraps, stiff flex. I am balloning these clubs with this shaft setup. (Same setup I have in my Miura's), Looking at putting in a set of black golds and see how that goes. I will keep you updated. Oh, feel of these endo forged clubs is tremendous, different than my Miura's but a very positive, smooth and soft feel. I believe the nickel finish adds to the feel.
  2. Yes, it is only the second lefty set I have seen in two years.
  3. Left handed set of Tour Stage X-Blade CB iron heads from Japan. The set contains 4-PW. The heads are rare copper finish. I have never seen a set of Tour Stage with a copper finish. There is no chrome on these heads. The heads have never been hit but they have been adjusted to standard USA lies and lofts. 4-24 Degrees Of Loft/ 61 Degree Lie Angle 5-27 Degrees Of Loft/ 61.5 Degree Lie Angle 6-31 Degrees Of Loft/ 62 Degree Lie Angle 7-35 Degrees Of Loft/ 62.5 Degree Lie Angle 8-39 Degrees Of Loft/ 63 Degree Lie Angle 9-43 Degrees Of Loft/ 63.5 Degree Lie Angle PW- 47 Degrees Of Loft/ 64 Degree Lie Angle Cannot wait for arrival....has ever played them? Your input for how I shaft them up would be appreciated.
  4. If they were only available in Lefty.... :tsg_smilie_wah:
  5. Looking for used LH Japanese equipment.... Look in your closets, under your beds, the trunks of your cars.... PM me with what you have. r/Dennis
  6. Thank God for the right handed hockey players that play left handed. Did you know that if it wan't for those right handed hockey players, Miura would probably not be making any Lefty clubs...
  7. That's it!!! I am done, I am on my way to pick up a right hand putter... No more left hand putting for this guy, I am tired of being left out. Miura has done me well with irons, TM has treated my right with my tour drivers. But if I want a true custom/tour driver I see I have no choice but to start putting right handed. Starting this weekend, I will keep two putters in my bag. Bye Bye Lefty Putters, I am going to change. By the end of the summer I will be a RH putter, with no handicap increase. Oh by the way Chris, thank you for posting this latest round of pictures, you have made me see the light.
  8. Those are some seet putters, at some teriffic prices.... sure wish you were left handed.
  9. not fair you teasing us here in the USA

    good looking iron, can't read the specs. can you ship me a left handed set
  11. As a Miura player, if you want purdy...my recommendation is to buy a scothbrite flap wheel from home depot or lowes or some hardware store. Chuck it up and go over the irons. They will be looking purdy...in seconds. That is the great thing about the satin finish. As for the grooves, all Miura irons are spec'd with the same grooves. If the grooves are different or deeper, they were done after market, not by Miura. The great thing about buying a Miura iron is you will get the exact same club, that any tour player would receive. That is there standard. They will not deviate to save money or lower there production costs. Miura is the real deal forged, ground, polished and plated to the most exacting standards.
  12. Here is one that most of you will never see. Tour made Prototype left hand Red X2, SSS with no insert.
  13. I have heard great things about these putters, seemed to be liked much more than TM's AGSI insert. Only negative feedback has been sound. which some putters equate feel and sound together. Also heard that if your stuff weight port with cotton balls sound is much more muted. But putter has great reviews for roll and accuracy.
  14. I will take the left handed one....
  15. No you will only consider satin RAC TP CB's - take the muscle backs off your want list...
  16. they will build the set the way you want. build a pro combo set. 3-7 Cavity Back, 8-PW + MORE WEDGES - Tournament Blades. Will last you a long time. Maybe shaft change as you improve. (cheaper than replacing) Unless you flat wear them out. Pro's play the same irons for years if they trust them. "Build it and they will come" Field of Dreams.... Build a set, and you will improve and love the game for life.... r/dennis
  17. yes, 2-4 month wait... but worth it...
  18. To Chris and all my friends I am sharing this information, because this site understands true craftsmanship. Chris believes in philosophies as the "Iron Chef" adheres too, and if you are reading this you are probably a "ho" This was not published through our normal golf media channels. Maybe, for a good reason.... Master Clubmaker Katsuhiro Miura “The Iron Chef” When Retief Goosen won the 2001 U.S. Open, he was swinging irons forged by Katsuhiro Miura, a craftsman from Himeji, Japan, the home of the ancient art of samurai swordmaking. Miura, 64, had also made the irons Ian Woosnam played to win the 1991 Master, and the ones used by Jose Maria Olazebel three years later in his first victory at Augusta National. None of their tour bags bore the name of Miura, but the manufactures paying the players to use their clubs had commissioned Miura to give them that extra edge. Miura has been making clubs for 47 years, and his own company, Miura Giken, manufactures its own clubs in Japan, which are sold in North America under the name of Miura. His sons Shinei and Yos**taka, both are master craftsmen themselves. Mr. Miura remains intimately involved in every detail - he still sits in the No. 1 chair on the grinding line. If few golfers are aware of his company, it’s only because Miura doesn’t sponsor any tour professionals. As the Vice-President of Miura of North America stated “Mr. Miura believes the good players will find him” When Tiger Woods was playing Titleist, the company called on Miura to make limited edition irons. Titleist brought its own dies and designs; Miura’s contribution was his 14 step manufacturing process. Miura is known for his elegant muscleback irons. Most tour pros believe there’s nothing like the buttery feel of a ball hit with a muscleback iron. Tiger Woods plays Nike Blades (as they are often called, because they look like knives or for the matter swords). and says there’s little or no sensation of impact when the clubface collides with the ball. Some tour pros also find it easier to “work” the ball with musclebacks - to hit a greater variety of shots and exert more control over the flight of the ball. Davis Love III, who plays Titleist musclebacks, says, “You get a better feel and you can keep the ball down.” Miura makes both musclebacks and cavity backs, but Mr. Miura is convinced that amateurs wouldn’t suffer if they set there cavity backs aside. Mr. Miura said “the image I have of the clubhead is not only of it hitting the ball, but the feel of it hitting the ball.” This is what I think about all the time. How can I improve the clubhead so that it will be efficient as possible? My 2 cents: I hope you take the time to read between the lines....Tour Pro's generally do no play retail equipment. OEM's meet contract demands of players and go from there to make a profit. Pay Chris to make trips to Japan and export tour quality equipment from Japan. - Most everybody will miss Mizuno. But Miura, has a big smile on his face. one foundry (his) for all clubs.... Do yourself a favor and know where your clubs are from. Please enjoy the article, I love my Miura's and would never change. But you all know - nobody else treats us lefties with any dignity.... r/ Dennis
