Miura MB-5003 vs Yururi Raw Flat Back Blade

[JMCMB]

Hello Everyone,

New to the forum, I've been reading a couple of topics for the past few days, and decided to join. I'm also very new to JDM and custom japanese golf clubs, about three weeks ago I stumbled across a review of the Miura tourney blade, and immediately I fell in love. Ive been playing golf since i was 11 years old(in my 20's now) and for the past few years Ive bought just about every "players" club from the major manufacturers here in the US(titleist, mizuno, callawa, etc.), various Mizuno blades have been my gamers usually. As soon as I read the review on the Miura blades I did some serious digging and found a whole world of golf clubs and clubmakers that I never knew existed, and everytime I would find something new I would just fall in love all over agian, now I honestly think 90% of the clubs and equipment I buy from now on will be JDM or US models from JDM companies, they just appeal to me sooo much more than anything I have ever seen before. I ordered a set of Miura 1957 baby blades 3-PW, 2 1957 wedges(K and C grinds), 3-5 iron MC102, and a KM 350 putter, I recieved the baby blades the K grind wedge, and the MC102's two days ago, and they are the most fantastic clubs I've ever played, I get excited everytime I swing them, it's like a drug, I just got my first taste, and I want more, lol.

So about a week ago I found Tour Spec, and they just seem to have everything I'm looking for, not just clubs and equipment, but the forums as well, theyre a really great source of information, and can help me out alot, I really dont join many web sites, I'm not really a computer person, but I felt like it was a good idea to sign up here. I've had sensory overload going on for the past few days, as there are just soooo many things I want, and I just dont know where to start lol. I'm pretty much ready to place my first order with Tour Spec, and ive narrowed it down to 2 sets of irons, the Yururi 2010 Raw Flat Back Blade in satin finish, or the Miura MB-5003 Blade, I'm not going to ask which one is better, since from my experience, that really comes down to personal preference, but I would really like to compare these two clubs to see which one I'm going to order(honestly I'll probly wind up getting both, but I want to figure out which one I'm going to order 1st), here are some questions I would really like to know the answers to, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out.

which of these two, shafted the same. would have higher trajectory? which would have a lower?

which, shafted the same, would spin more? less?

which is more forgiving?less?(I realize neither will be very forgiving)

which would be more "workable"?

which has a softer feel?(again, shafted the same)

which would be more playable?

anything else anyone could add that I might not have mentioned?

whichever i choose, Im thinking of shafting it with either the Nippon Pro Modus3, Nippon super peening red or orange, or 1050GH, im leaning towards the pro modus3, I would like to know how each of these compares in feel, trajectory, distance, and spin to the KBS tour, and the True Temper Dynamic Gold. Lately I've been playing the KBS tour in a lot of my irons, Ive played the dynamic gold alot in the past. I really like the Nippon shafts, they seem really great, and alot of posters on here seem to like them, there really is nowhere around me that I could demo them, and I would really like to see how they compare to shafts ive been playing.

Sorry about the super long post, I would really appreciate any feedback anyone could give me, it would help out alot. Thank you.

welcome, the veil is lifted.

if uve got the 1957 so dont double up no need

the yururi flatback are prob the softest club ive hit i made these with NS orange, good straight high flight. too high for me but boy they were terrific, realy hold thier line well, (thats the NS SP at work)

super small sole have a look in BST under miuraism for a cpl of piccys of the differnce in size between the yururi nad miura

thsoe yururis were greta to hit the 8-9-pw especially i liked to hit at greens , i found them really accurate.

Supo67,

The veil has certainly been lifted, thats a great way to put it, even just visually, all of the JDM products I've seen just seem to be higher quality than the stuff thats mass marketed here in the US, and from my limited experience with the Miuras, and from what I've read, the level of craftsmanship is just plain and simple better, I mean to each his own, but I cannot see any logical reason not to buy a product that is made with more precision and attention to detail, ive honestly owned every single club geared towards better players from the larger manufacturers here in the states from the past few years, alot are great clubs, ive done really well with mizuno, but there is nothing that jumps out at me the way that the JDM clubs have, there seems to be a certain art, and beauty to alot of the clubs ive seen so far, just something special that ive never found in the clubs ive owned before that are turned out of a factory wholesale, and after playing the Miuras, ive realized that they perform even better than they look...

So what your saying is that I shouldnt go for the Yururi because the 5003 MB will play simillar to my baby blades? if thats the case I would definitely go for the Yururi, i honestly think the yururi is the best looking club ive seen so far, so thats a plus, this is going to be my workhorse set, I play just about everyday, and this is a set thast going to rotate with the baby blades, but ill be playing these slightly more so than the 1957's. Im looking for a tiny bit more ease of play than the baby blades, and I always want the softest feel available, thats something thats always very important to me, I'm really leaning towards shafting them with either the Pro Modus3, or after reading your post, the super peening orange, would love to know how the super peening orange compares to the pro modus3 in feel(which has a softer feel?), ball flight, spin, and distance. Would also like to know how both the Super peening orange and the pro modus3 compare to the KBS tour, and Tru Temper Dynamic Gold in the areas I just mentioned. Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it.

everyday soft club the yrurris could do that job easily.

they are slightly larger than the miuras and softer.

razor like look to them

the modus are good shafts, prob a bit more veratility than the SP which go straight.

iahd DGs400 i nthem errrrrg! hideous.

anything NS in t hese really will make them feel uber soft

That's interesting. When I tried the Yururis a while back, I thought they felt rather hard and harsh. Just me though.

I haven't hit the Yururi flat black but do find the raw wedges feel harder also than other JDM forgings.

[supo]

i found them just lovely. the dgs didnt do a lot for me , got soe good game time in with those and didnt like them at all.

thats when i realised the ns shafts make such a difference.

ive got plenty of the rawheads as well and i think they feel great.

u can almsot feel the ball sticking to the rough finish

the sieda wedgeand the tour wedegs are supe rsoft.

with the KBS black shaft in the kyoei heads they def feel harsher but go longer.

thsoe KBS wedge shafts i think are terrific

[jamnguy1]

I owned 5003 and yururi raw blade (not 2010 version).

5003 smaller heel to toe.

5003 more workable.

yururi head felt heavier.

5003 seemed more forgiving.

Hard to say which launched higher. I think spin is the same, but ithink this is more a person´s swing mechanics rather than the properties of the head.

I´m having a hard time remembering which was softer, as people have different opinions and definition. They are certainly different in feel. I think the yururi felt a little more solid so the 5003 was a little softer, but that may be due to the shaft. They are both excellent irons. That said, I no longer play blades.

Just Try to help,Since i have hit them both, but sorry im not a pro, so it will be from amateurs review. :)

which of these two, shafted the same. would have higher trajectory? which would have a lower?

No Idea.

which, shafted the same, would spin more? less?

I hit the yururi RAW Black and boy it really spins, may be because of the finished? / i dont know if satin or other finish.

which is more forgiving?less?(I realize neither will be very forgiving)

IMHO yururi is more forgiving, may be due to the head finished? or it sticks to the ball longer?

which would be more "workable"?

Again, Because its stick to head longer, i feel the yururi is more playable.

which has a softer feel?(again, shafted the same)

yururi

which would be more playable?

yururi

anything else anyone could add that I might not have mentioned?

miura its not an easy club to hit. for some reason i feel the head its not as soft as other posters says. and since i try the yururi in black, its give a different excitement.

its so contrast with the white ball. i dont know how will it be when aging..

whichever i choose, Im thinking of shafting it with either the Nippon Pro Modus3, Nippon super peening red or orange, or 1050GH, im leaning towards the pro modus3, I would like to know how each of these compares in feel, trajectory, distance, and spin to the KBS tour, and the True Temper Dynamic Gold. Lately I've been playing the KBS tour in a lot of my irons, Ive played the dynamic gold alot in the past. I really like the Nippon shafts, they seem really great, and alot of posters on here seem to like them, there really is nowhere around me that I could demo them, and I would really like to see how they compare to shafts ive been playing.

npsp red and orange its a nice shaft, just be carefull with the trajectory, its so different compare to KBS and TT.

Nippon shaft for me feel smoother and KBS is firmer.

Hope that will help,

Please senior poster give advice if i make mistake :)

btw,

anone know who forged the yururi? is it kyoei?

[JMCMB]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the input, its definitely helped me make a choice. I've had simillar results with DG's lately, after playing KBS, any blade I try with the DG's feels terrible, I cant imagine the difference between the DG's and Nippons which from everything ive heard have a really nice, soft feel. I really like the look of the Yururi in satin, particularly the shape of the muscle, i cant wait to receive them, I have a feeling I'm really going to love this set. I think the next up is going to be a Miura driving iron, an Epon AF152 driver with either a Crazy Nero, or a Crazy Black shaft(I really, really like the crazy shafts and from what i hear they play as well as they look), a Yururi Rupas wedge, and possibly a Gold's Factory putter(although i might aslo be interested in having one of the Camerons I currently own re done by Gold's).
