danitrio1 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Hey guys. New to the site. I am in the process of choosing a Miura iron set. I realize that Miura Tournament Blade and Limited Edition Blades are available for NA market and Miura Giken MB-5003 for Japanese market (but available through Tourspecgolf.com). I was wondering what the difference between N.A. Tournament Blade and MB-5003 are. How do they differ? Different headsize, headshape, offset, topline, grind? I keep reading that MB-5003 has thicker face than previous versions. I believe Limited Edition baby blades also have thicker face and is slightly smaller than "regular" Tournament Blades. Is MB-5003 more similar to Limited Edition baby blades than Tournament Blade? Lastly, between Miura Tournament Blade, Limited Edition "baby" blades, and MB-5003, which set has the smallest headsize... which one has the largest headsize? Thanks a bunch.

jamnguy1 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 5003 is softer feeling than tournament blades. Tournament blades has that clickier sound and denser feel. That may be good or bad depending on what you're accustomed to. Both address nicely. Baby blades has very small head and looks like the tournament blade with 1/4 of the head chopped off. It looks funny with a regular length shaft and hard to hit. I was not terribly impressed with any of the Miura or Miura Giken offerings, with the exception of the CB-301, until the 5003 came out. Getting the right shaft is equally important to get the desired feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 does the 5003 dig since it's made for Japanese courses? i've always wanted to try these and wonder if they were better than the TEs that i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5003's work very well in both Hawaii & Las Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
