forgedCBuser Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) no, i just want to see if the miura's are any better than my mizunos. i recieved some scratch irons today and i can answer that they feel better. but no, no combo set. just really like looks. do you have some? i was the guy that won the ebay auction...sorry :tsg_smiley_embarrassed: thought you might've gotten the itch for a combo set after i showed you my old set on GO... for feel, imo the miz and miura feel almost the same in regards to softness. but the tolerances and finish on the miuras is MUCH better...chrome doesn't brown as easily as miz' and headweights are consistant. and the miura's have the BEST brushed satin finish i've ever seen on an iron.
