Posted February 24, 201411 yr Miura MB-5005 Muscle Back Irons: it's a more forgiving blade that blends well with the CB-1007 Y-Grind design. Slightly larger than the 5003 with a cut away that removes 15g and redistributes it for more forgiveness. The official release date is 4/14. Demo's are on the way.
February 24, 201411 yr I suppose there's not much you can do with a blade that hasn't been done before, apart from some interesting designs on the back and this is certainly different. I really like it. To make it the ultimate for me I'd need a sharper toe like the onoff 358 or my Yamaha 2010 tours.
February 24, 201411 yr Not totally crazy about the way it looks, but I bet it'll still be a nice blade to hit.
February 24, 201411 yr Looks great IMHO. I like how they positioned all the text to make it seem more subtle. The past designs just had it like straight line text across the clubhead and that was cluttered. I would play those over the International MB001.
February 25, 201411 yr very intersting idea here . good to see him go a blade style again. as ususal ill be hard pressed not to get these.in fact theres prob every chance il fai lin my endeavours to curb my carnivourous buying habit for blades... this is quite appealing to me bec the 5003 are not what id call an easy tho hit set of sticks, hes just eased off abit here by the looks of it, and that CANT be a bad thing. those 5003 are damn hard to love. i can see a demo on the horizon real soon..................,
February 25, 201411 yr Author That's interesting you say that as the 5003 was my favorite Miura blade. I thought they were forgiving for an MB but then again that was when I was playing at least 3 rounds a week. With steel I couldn't handle them but then i went roddio I-10's they were buttery bliss. I too am interested in the new MB5003 blades, gonna match them up with graphite once again.
February 25, 201411 yr Let me know once you finish "demoing" yours supo, I will take them off your hands
February 25, 201411 yr i think 5003 are plenty forgiving for a blade. if you compare them to very old stuff like old hogans or macgregors they certainly are. you guys just got spoiled by all those neo shovel 'blades' of today :) personally i dont like how this new one looks with the meat taken away i dont think its gonna have real blade feel to it. i understand its progress, market and all that good stuff but miura was one of a few who made no gimmicks real blades. on the other hand no one gonna see that cut from address so if they maintain their razor thin top line and invisible offset and it feels and works like a real blade but more forgiving that would be pretty cool.
February 25, 201411 yr to me a classic blade has meat directly behind the sweetspot. i think this one is more towards what you call neo blades in your posts.
February 25, 201411 yr Definitely a neo blade, less of a focus on feel but more of a focus on ease of use. (not to say the feel won't be good) They have positioned this between the MB5003 and CB1007 for the player who likes the look and set up of a blade but wants the forgiveness closer to a CB.
February 25, 201411 yr Miura irons never disappoint! I played the MB5003 for a while and agree, although small and thin, they were actually plenty forgiving.
February 25, 201411 yr This one's interesting... "Blade with a Cavity" like Chris said... The MB5003 was a good combo of feel and workability, if this one has added forgiveness.......wow..
February 26, 201411 yr Very interesting blade design. I wonder how that carve-out affects the feel or forgiveness in the center. Would be so much better if they didn't have that Vokey spin-milled style stamping on the toe ;)
February 26, 201411 yr Very interesting blade design. I wonder how that carve-out affects the feel or forgiveness in the center. Would be so much better if they didn't have that Vokey spin-milled style stamping on the toe ;) I quite like it. It's JDM so it's not a vokey, it's the Sharingan ;)
February 26, 201411 yr OK, lesson learned on my side. After learning and reading about the Sharingan I like the design more :)
April 7, 201410 yr Author TSG is now accepting normal spec orders in the pro shop as well as custom craft orders with more/less offset, many finishes, sole grind, etc.. Check it out:
April 8, 201410 yr As a big fan of Miura, should I wait for this custom option? OMG, CB358 is coming to me...
April 9, 201410 yr I'm sure the answer is no, but I've got to ask. Are these new 5005's available in left handed? My son would love these
November 17, 201410 yr How would these compare to the 1007 y grinds? From everything I am reading the 5005's should be a fairly compatible iron in terms of forgiveness and playability. Any top line photons of the 1007 and the mb 5005?
