plus1 Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 i have two sets of irons at the moment the mr 23 cbs with 6.5 rifle lites and the 201s with x100s. was comparing the two today and noticed a huge distance difference between them......the 201s were at least one full club outside the mr23s!!!!!! anyone else found this problem??? have to admit both feel so sweet, excellent forging!

rsvman Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 What do you mean, "outside"? Do you mean longer? If so, have you checked the lofts? Maybe the lofts are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PxExG Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 yeah outside means longer. just translating for the irish folk here ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 thanks patrick, yeah im sorry using irish slang......i did mean ''longer'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmbao Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 The lofts on the Mr23s are weaker than that of the 201's, so thats part of the issue. I have both the MR23s and the CB1005s but haven't hit them enough to know. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 The MR23s are for the better player in my opinion. A lot less forgiving than the Miuras. The CB1005s lasted only a month in the bag. The MR23s worked kinda like a training aid for me, I had to really focus and strike the ball well with its small head. The CB1005s were great I just liked the look of the XCBs so modern so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 to be honest i didnt find the mr23s hard to hit at all, i thought the feel was superb out of them just the lack of distance put me of. both clubs the miura 201s and the 23s felt like a dream and are easy to hit. the distance factor was the big determining factor fo me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonHack Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 well, yes, the same thing happened to me. 1 club loss in distance vs a set of mizunos I have. You have to tweak the clubs to your specs...even check the club lenghts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdr Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I will agree that the MR23's are shorter then many other irons - I am finding them to be between 1/2 and 1 club shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
