PiC's! of the Miura Custom Finish MB5003
ClubHoUno replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
How durable will the black finish be on these great looking Miura Giken heads ? I'm thinking of getting a set of these or the upcoming Epon AF-Tour blades -
Great, Chris. Can I order a combo set - now that the blades are coming. Have been waiting for 6+ months on these Epon MB blades - being ready to order a set from you Chris. I think I might go - AF-301 5-6-7 and AF-101 MB 8-9-PW -all done with KBS Tour Taper shafts Finally I will get my set of Epon's - will order the combo set in golden satin nickel dull finish Based on the pics I've seen (can't post link to this - but do a search on Google and know a guy who can translate Japanese, and you will find the pics) - it really looks like a smooth blade-MB with some High tech built into the backside of the head, but still done in a way that makes it beautiful to have in your bag and awesome to strike the ball with I once was hooked on Miura & Mizuno, but I think Epon MB's will change that now

In Hand Images of the Miura Giken Japan CB 2006 Irons
ClubHoUno replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Must admit, that I don't like this messy cavity design with all those letters. Looks far from the Miura US simplistic beautiful design I once was, and still am a bit, a Miura fan - but they really messed this one up. It really has to perfrom miles better than offers from Mizuno, Epon, Tourstage, Srixon, Titleist, Taylor Made, Ping etc. to get into my bag - this coming from a proud used to be owner of 3 sets of Miura clubs -
I like the green peas black head cover and the Amigo! Black headcover - and also the brand new black/white goldfish putter headcover. I'm disappointed over the new headcovers for woods and drivers - only striped and not wool quality but acrylic :( I hope Como Come will come up with something better soon though !

Are they quad forged or double forged ?

Today's Golfer Magazine dogs the EPON AF-301
ClubHoUno replied to rexwrx's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I've read Todays Golfer for years and I've completely stopped buying this magazine, because I more often than not find a lot of faults and misses in their pop reviews and 9 out of 10 times I find, that I know golf gear better than all the club testers at Todays Golfer. Sorry to put it this way, but: Today's Golfer is more of a golf porn magazine, than a serious golf magazine - it simply sucks, because it never makes in depth reviews of anything- and when they make reviews, the reviews are full of flaws and faults. Stay away from this very poorly made UK Golf magazine. Unfortunately I can't really say that Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and our danish golf magazines are much better. This is the reason why I haven't bought a Golf magazine in more than 2 years now. Their reviews suck, are lacking in detail and they never test with anything other than stock shafts. I can't speak of how good the Japanese golf magazines are, because I still don't read Japanese But basically ALL American, UK and European golf magazines sucks to put it mildly. Full of errors and lacks in depth reviews of any kind. -
HOLY CRAP - these wedges looks great even though they look like GI wedges. I don't know how they can make a wedge with a busy cavity like that, look so freaking great....oh myyyyyy What is the finish called in the first pic - it looks stunning - will it rust over time ?
-
I'm also looking forward to the comparison pics between Mp-67, TM 1000 and the 5003 Miura's. I know it takes time to do these pics, so they look great - but I'm sure Chris will post, as soon as he has the pics ready for us As far as the guys wanting these in satin finish - I do think they already are in satin finish. maybe the pics makes them look a bit shiny, but to my knowledge these are in satin finish already. I agree that the stamping look a little on the busy side..........but if they play that great, I can live with it.

Maybe these lofts has to do with the fact, that high cappers have a slow swing speed and in fact will get more distance out of a 17° 3 wood, than a 15° 3 wood. The high cappers still would like to tell their playing partners, that they have a 3 wood in the bag, so this is how you hide the fact, that you really only carry a high lofted driver, a 5 wood and up from there.

Best players forged cavity back set - 2008 season

Sorry, I would like to add the Cobra irons to the poll, but the limit for poll choices unfortunately is 20, so I can't add the new lovely looking Cobra irons to the poll -
Hello Rangship Can you tell me something about the leading edge on the MB5003 - is it round or does it dig more than your old mp-32 did ? I wish you a merry Christmas and happy new Year, Rangship

My small comparison test with some blade putters with inserts
ClubHoUno replied to HULC1105's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
What size are the bumpers in the new pics - is a newport 1 or newport 2 bumper size or just in between the two ? I prefer the more flat bumpers, like on the Newport 2/Bettinardi BB8.... -
I agree, I like to challenge myself. I think my handicap has actually been lowered some because I hit my shots with demanding players golf gear. People who don't like this challenge won't benefit from playing this kind of golf gear - different strokes for different folks, I guess If I played in tournaments as a pro golfer, I would play with more forgiving golf gear, but I don't - so I play with what I want and what I feel looks nice to my eye I don't give a hoot about what people say to me about my golf gear - I paid for it, they didn't When I hit GIR after GIR with my players golf gear, they all of a sudden keep quiet.......how can that be

Great looking wedges - what's the finish in the last pic - it looks almost bordeaux ?
