Always wanted to do a MB thread here as i play so many of them and i wont have to read over and over... " miura baby blades( what ever thefk they are ) are the best!!!!

Mbs to me are:

much harder to hit well consistantly ...,

WAY more punishing on non centered miss hits..,

way easier to hosel rocket and shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahnkooooooooo! into the woods...,

Much more mentally intimidationg to look down at past the 6 irons ..,

AND............ they blow the bloody doors off EVERY other style of iron when u sweet one .
i become a engineer, painter , sculpter, swordsmith for that fleeting moment when i hit one perfeclty to my pre shot minds eye view.

obv. with other sticks thats perfectly do-abale but not near the same extent as with an MB.

they def require more concentration diligence and confidence to game them each week in comps andi i do have a mental arguement that i do use my more muscled caviities at times in monthly comps ( PRGR tr 500 / IDBL im looking at you) but they dont give me that adrenaline surge as with a set of HONMA , tousrstage, mbs .

THATS the why .

SO ill get into a few sets ive gamed over the aslt 30+ yrs ( if can rememeber tthem all } and ill pop up pics and hopefully other like minded bladers will join in .........................,

TOURSTAGE mr23
These might just be my fave set of pure ,straight up Mb of them all.
There are more revered, more precious ., more sohpisticated options out there but for THE most simple , complete players MB , they are at the top of my pile. Due in no sml part to the shape of the 8/pw , that shape puts them right at the top with the honma tw but ill get to those later.
I first found them not long after they came out early 2000s and have a had a set ( or 2) in play most of that time.
my latest set(s) will prob last me till i stop playing one is a stock chrome ENDO forged / DGs200 set 3/pw in fabulous nick, ive been toying with putting a set of NS super peening orange in these for years, but havnt done it bec i jsut cant fault the way they perform with the DGs200s. if anything im tlepted ot find a set in good nick ot do that, but can not find any suitable.


these DG ones are my travelling set, ESP to the sand belt im Melb and south there of . they suit those cond as good as any club ive ever palyed.
i take these and a set of prgr tr500s down there, i dont even bother with anything else.
The other set were Mr Mruayamas 2004 US masters set in copper.
they only get used on special course days to preserve them as much as i can. i swapped out the N226v X by Ns for a set of shimada 3001s constant weight and Masda slicks. ...........THAT was a good swap. these play for me JUST perfeclty , a little lower, a little flatter. but can make them do what they were made to do. fizz about with the course.
def Not long , just precise , the pw is 47*


A Good thing is , they are NOT the same as the retial veriosn, slightly more compact. with a bit less off set and a thinner top line wi much shorter hosel and thicker muscle. not much.. but, u can see it.

they are both bsolute scimitars and about as presice as a club can get
i know not how and ive discussed this with Chris yrs ago, even tho they were ENDO forged, both tourstage and yanaha DONT have that soft pillowy fluffy cusshy EPON /ENDO/ONOFF feel to them , they are noticeably denser , thicker, deeper at imapact u know where u ahve hit the ball all the time.
is it better or or worse.......... thast for the observer to decide ,for me, i think it suits this head perfectly.
