Miura CB 1007 versus RomaRo Ray H

[levessh]

I have been reading the forum for awhile, but this is my first post. I have been speaking with Tario regarding a new set of irons. He has been great, but I also wanted to get some thoughts from the group. I am trying to decide between the 1007's and the Ray H's. As background, I am a 6 hc and currently playing the Callaway 2013 X forged. I like a smaller head, but with some forgiveness and a sole that has enough leading edge relief to help with digging (my course tends to play soft for a good part of the year). Both of these irons look great from the photos and the comments in other posts seem to be positive.

I would appreciate hearing people's thoughts.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum levessh, so you want smaller than the current X-Forged you play?

If so the Miura CB-1007 ( perhaps with custom Y-Grind ) is a good option. I've hit them and they are compact and look great, feel isn't as nice as the Ray H's and it isn't as forgiving. The Ray H has a more buttery feel.

As a digger both of these irons should give a similar result as they both do have rounded leading edges. You may want to look at a bigger rounded sole if you feel digging is that big of an issue.

Thanks for the reply. I don't mind the size of the Callway's, but it would also not bother me if they were slightly smaller. I do want to keep a reasonable level of forgiveness, which the Callaway's do provide. Based on that, it seems like the RomaRo's might be a better choice? The digging is not that huge of an issue, just don't want to amplify it with a sharp leading edge.

Are the Ray H's similar in size to the 2013 X Forged Cally's?

I also appreciate your comment on the feel. This is one of the main reasons why I wanted to get a set of JDM irons.

Are there other options I should be considering?

Keep in mind Shawn that feel is subjective. Both irons are good feeling.

The Ray H will launch higher though thanks to their half cavity design, much of the weight is really in the bottom half of the iron while the Miura tries to bring the CG up a bit by making the mid section of the cavity thicker.

I have owned both sets and the H is head and shoulders above the Miura in every category particularly in terms of feel and forgiveness. Very compact head and I think smaller than the 1007 and the Cally's. I found the 1007 to be fairly harsh in feel.

If Rich says this then you have your answer! (^_^)

I gotta chime in and say one man's "harsh" is sometimes another man's "solid". Now, harsh can also mean hard and "clicky", which the Miura's are not. But "solid" as opposed to "squishy" soft, such as the Yamaha's and some others.

In other words, some prefer solid and dense or "harsh", and some prefer soft or "squishy". Which pretty much sums up which adjective they use to describe the feeling. I like both for variety, so I mix in a couple sets of Miura's (one of them the 1007 y-grind) and TS then change up to some Yam's and Mizuno Yoro's for a softer feel. Said it a million times but ultimate softness is not the Holy Grail IMO. Variety is. Just ask Tsupo. haha

Yup.
