jmb731 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I am thinking about changing from MP32's to the Miura and would appreciate any thoughts or comments you might have about the irons. Are they at all forgiving, what shaft do you have in them or anything else you might think is helpful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very clean, very soft feel. Only club I have found softer is the Taylor Made Firesole Forged Tour Issue by Miura. Can't go wrong with Miura clubs. The quality is super high.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I would have to say Miura isnt as soft as many other brands out there, firm and pure for sure. The 301's are a very basic 80's design style cavity back. They could even be a discount raw head. If your going to select a Miura the 201, CB-1005 and CB-1006 are IMO your best choices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zodialover Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I agree that they do look like a very basic design however "firm" is not how I would characterize them. I find mine to be very soft feeling, as compared to any Mizuno product I have hit. I have the 301s shafted with the Nippon 850s and love them. They are not the most forgiving, at least as compared to other forged cavity backs I have hit, but they are very workable- high, low, cuts, draws. Where they really amaze me is when I chip with them. They feel so soft and roll the ball beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel so soft and roll the ball beautifully. I guess we see soft and firm in different lights. The Mizuno clubs finished in China sold in the U.S are IMO firm. The ones finished in Japan feel soft IMO. All miuras IMO dont feel as soft as brands like Scratch, Epon, Tourstage, and Custom Mizuno. I also really wish they didnt use spin welded hosels to save money on tooling for multiple lofts. Dont get me wrong now, im not miura bashing, we do good Miura sales and i buy them to test each and every new set they release. After seeing whats available from Himeji in regards to raw blank heads, i truley do believe this was somthing they made for the U.S market on a budget. Go CB-1006 guys, you will be very happy with their new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go CB-1006 guys, you will be very happy with their new design. Having studied your reviews and comments I have taken your advice and ordered a set of the new CB 1006's, (3-PW + WF03 58* S Wedge), all with NS Pro shafts (950GH - 1150GH in 58*). I trust your judgement and hope to enjoy my new Miura's very soon, I have had them completely custom fitted so there will be no excuse! I am wondering if they will be much better than my Maxfli Australian Blades (2003 model) which I absolutely adore - any thoughts as to how the Miura's will stack up?

Donnyj Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I have found the 301's to be incredibly solid feeling unlike any other club, but definately not as soft as Mizuno's. They have a very thin topline, thinner than an MP 32 and are a very common cavity back shape but they are much smaller and thinner than other similarly shaped cavity backs, they have a boring trajectory and have quite heavy heads. I'm a newbie here .....nice site and forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Golfer Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The 301s have the thinnest top line to me, but they are not easy to hit as one would expect given the extensive Miura research that went into them to cross balance the head weighting so the head will fit any swing.

I have forged cavity backs in this same shape from California Golf Technologies so it's not a completely uninformed opinion. One the other hand, my MC-102s are stable at impact over a more reasonable span of face area, and I would never hesitate to recommend them to somebody in my index range (11.3).
