haribo Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Every forged club retail or custom grind, chocolate dipped or whatever will feel pretty much the same as long as you hit the sweet spot. As a +1 handicap ... that shouldn't be a problem for you. haribo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Although I love the looks of Miura forgings from certain angles, some of the short irons from address look awful. But that goes for many of the Jap forgings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior_golfer Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Miura is the company which forges all of taylomades clubs. So chanses are the that the difference in forging techniques and feel will be minescule. I will say though I had a set of miura protos and they were sweet!

madball Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Miura is the company which forges all of taylomades clubs. Not any of the new models. Miura used to forge TM clubs-..The only clubs they forge now for TM are "tour issues" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Miura is the company which forges all of taylomades clubs. Not any of the new models. Miura used to forge TM clubs-..The only clubs they forge now for TM are "tour issues" I hear Miura dint even make Tour clubs for TM anymore. Ever since they came to NA' date=' they have cut the line of many OEM's & club builders at NA's request. Miura NA in my opinion is bad news, they took a prestigious and expensive Japanese brand and pushed it into every online club builder or any tom d**k & harry because they have way to much stock that isn't selling and miura Japan is already 1 line ahead of them. Nothing good has come from this IMO... 1. Miura Irons custom finish & grind from Japan were only 500 heads only before Miura NA opened, now Japan wont sell any of their product to the U.S and Miura NA doubled the price for Americans. 2. Taylormade, Blade, Nike and others who were buying the blank heads or having miura make clubs for them are no longer able to buy these at Miura NA request. 3. Club builders " in the know " have told me Quality has dropped significantly since NA opened up, probably due to increased output. Miura was a mess in Japan before NA, now they are a mess with no control in NA, we now pay double the price and don't have access to the new Japanese models, we pay double for the 2 year old stuff and have no custom finish options or grind options as we used to.[/b'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornyjuan Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Sounds like Muira has become a croc of :poop: So back in Miura's glory days could they compete with Matsumoto, MOZ, GD, Gold's Factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still one of the best quality forgings on the market for sure, It all depends on what feel you really like, I enjoy Endo and most Himeji stuff, Some people like Mizuno or Miura feel, The new line is called " Miuraism and the main selling point is its new forging process. Its just I personally like the Japan selection and miss the Crazy great price which is now cheaper than what the dealers get them for. I will also miss TM, Nike, and other companies Tour or Rare sets made by Miura. I always wanted a set of Nike Cb's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Regarding price you have to add about $100-$150 because of the dollars collapse. If you add shafts plus a quality club builder you have to add another $350. So really the price did not go up so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add shafts plus a quality club builder you have to add another $350. So really the price did not go up so much. dollar and yen play just about even now, we are still 7 cents up on average. lets put it this way, you wouldn't pay 999.00 for a set of new 2002 Tourstage TS202 irons would you? or the Old X-Drive 300cc pro spec for 650 bucks? What I'm saying is if it was still all japan, We would pay lower prices for the new stuff instead of having to wait till N.A clears its inventory and decides to bring the new line to the U.S.A. you could sport the new: The stampings are kinda funky, but we would have been able to buy these for about 550 shipped straight to J.K get it blueprinted with any shaft :logo: or, Have your local club builder shaft it for a peanuts. both ways we get better clubs for our $$$ Who remembers Rey from Miura Japan? Nice guy, would have loved for him to be a member here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
