plus1 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 has anyone been to the miura forging factory in japan? my local clubmaker who is the european dealer for miura, was over with miura and got fitted with a custom set of clubs, demoed the new tri range etc etc..... but most interesting was the video he brought home.....it showed the exact process of how the miura irons were produced etc etc...also it showed each head being hand ground and weighed at every stage...all in order to achieve the precise head weight! found this fascinating! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I havent been there but I have seen the whole process on TGC and it was pretty cool. If you want to Ho out more let me know, I can get you J-Spec Miuras no problem.What I dont care for is the fact that they weld the neck to the rest of the head. IMO they are more firm at impact than mizunos. My advice as a friend to you is stick with your GD's but if you must change try custom grind mizzys in nickel or I-505's before you go to the miura's. the other choices are softer, more forgiving and not as expensive.

Nothing is bad about it that I can put my finger on, Its just the forgiveness factor and feel factor vs that it is made of such a soft steel that leads me to think it has somthing to do with that neck weld. I really dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 get ya! with the quality of steel they are using the irons really should feel and play much softer........ no doubt miura are excellent clubs but they did always have a firm feel that turned harsh when hit out of center... chris im sure you have seen the gauge design forging process.....how does this compare?
