MCsub Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 They look sweet. After a few putt-chips w/ the PW on the office floor, I have to agree they are noticebaly softer in feel than my Tourstage Z101s. Will be interesting to see how they hit. I got them w/ DGS300, and my 101s are Rifle 6.0, so that will account for some difference. But as far as the fit, finish, and setup, they look superb. Compared to what other companies offer in the $900 price range, I think these got 'em beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCsub Posted April 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 FINALLY hit the PW and 8 last night. Man, its been crazy, and when I took the 8 to test the weekend I got them the damn range was off mats due to construction. No way I was hitting her the first time off a piece of sewer smelling shag. Anyways, last night hit the two clubs against the Z101s. The Zs have rifle 6.0 and the Miuras have DGS300. Comparing just these (as I did not bring the others), the Miuras had a higher trajectory and did feel softer. I was hitting well, so I can't say which one was more forgiving. Obviously, the shafts are different and many prefer one or the other. One thing I don't get is that the Miura has a more "head heavy" feel than the Z. I assumed since the DG weighs more than the Rifle (right?), the Z would feel more head heavy. I guess the headweights are different enough to account for that. Anyways, having warmed up w/ the Z, switching to the CB201 had me swinging easier and just getting the clubhead on the ball. The results were great. I like swinging easy and mentally the Miura seemed easier to hit. I will compare the lower irons later this week. I hit the Z3-5 very well and don't know how the CB201s will compare. Anyways, these irons are both sensational IMO, and my thoughts right now are I could play either equally as well. Stay tuned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyce89976 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 The Miura long irons (I have the CB1005s - same thing as the 201s you have) are the best long irons I've ever hit. High ball flight, very workable and solid as a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2golf Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Anything new to report MC? I think I'm getting a set within the next couple of weeks from Paul at Shreveport Golf. I hit a demo 6 iron extensively over a couple of range trips. Very, very, very nice. Soft and very forgiving. I was surprised how forgiving the 201's are for being a player's cb.

MCsub Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 I have now hit the 7,8, and PW. I LOVE them. To be completely honest, I slightly prefer the feel of the 201s ove the Z101s. The Zs however are very solid in the long irons, and I have yet to try the Miuras. Hopefully this weekend. Snowing now :cry: so that is questionable. Again, I am also looking at a shaft difference of DGs in the Miuras vs. Rifles in the Zs, so that surely accounts for some of the difference. After i hit the long irons I will add more.

Also, I'm curious as to any differences anyone may have found between the U.S. 201's and the Japan 1005's. Thanks! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCsub Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hit at the range tonight and did more head to head with the 4, 6, and 8. Man, both of these are outstanding. I found the 4 iron just as easy to hit w/ the Miura as the Tourstage. Overall, after today's session, I preferred the Zs, primarily because of the ball flight. I guess I have figured out I prefer the Rifle 6.0 over the DGS300. As for feel, it is very tough to discern a difference. Both soft and crisp at the same time. I will have to work the Miura's more to take the Zs out before a round, but I really do not think you can go wrong either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
