Anyone had tried Miura Iron ? any comment on these iron ?

Hi all

recently a friend of mine mentioned of Miura iron, and personally I have heard of it about 1 yr ago, and i also know where these iron are available.

I did not really have any oportunity to try out these iron.

I'm not sure whether has this topic being discuss before.

Anyway, wonder anyone had tried these iron and care to share their experience with these iron ?

I'm mainly helping a friend to find out more.

Thank you so much

Go to Torque Golf @ Laguna to try the clubs

If I am not wrong. one club head sells for about $280. Tried it, its NICE!!!

ask Ghoonk

I have a set of Miura Giken MB-5003 muscleback blades shafted with KBS Tour S-flex shafts and I can honestly say that they are the best feeling irons I have ever played. Despite my high handicap, they are remarkably forgiving, and inspiring at setup with a thin topline. It helps that the KBS tour shafts have a softer tip, so the overall feel is buttery. I'm not someone who can control fade/draw, but these irons have been remarkably easy to manage, and while I can probably get another club length or two in distance from playing the new R9 TP irons, I'm playing these just for the pleasure of the feel.

My irons history are as follows:

Nike Forged Blade w/ DG S300 shafts
Honma LB-280s with DG S300 shafts
Titleist DCI 990 with DG S300 shafts
KZG Forged Z0 with TT TX-90 S flex shafts
Mizuno MP32 with DG R300 shafts
Mizuno MP14 with DG S300 shafts
Taylormade TP MB with Rifle 6.0 shafts
Taylormade RAC (MB Miura-forged) with PX 5.0 shafts
Taylormade RAC (MB Miura-forged) with Project 6.0 Satin shafts
King Cobra Pro MB with PX 5.0 shafts
Cleveland CG1 Black Pearl with TDG S300 shafts

I'm looking to get another set of MB-5003s and plan to replicate my current setup

Cleveland CG1 Black Pearl with TDG S300 shafts????

How come you never show me before!??! Irons? All pearl black? Like your Miura wedges with black KBS?? Got pics or not? I wan leh

that set is sitting at home leh. Yes, irons. Yes, black pearl, with less offset than the normal CG1s. Does not have the black KBS but I just got SMS from the courier company that my KBS Black Nickel shafts for my irons have arrived. MUAHAHAHA

Now to get my hands on another set of MB-5003 heads

For pics, see http://www.golfrepublic.org/golf-equipment-f7/witb-dubai-edition-warning-pic-intensive-t3142.htm

Next time you come over, I bring you to my poison room.

salivating looking at your miura...with the missus next to me, hope she got the hint

i am not sure if i remember correctly but did u mention that you got the miura giken 2nd hand?

where is the lobang? US or DXB?

I got my Miura Gikens from Greenfield Golf in SG, but now looking for another set. Got an offer for Miura blades (pre-07 models) with TC X1 shafts for USD600 and itchy now...

bro, usually u just buy the head only and it them fix some other place or u buy it as a set ?

In my case, I've been lucky enough to get a good combo on my first set, so the 2nd set will be based exactly on my 1st set, i.e. get heads, then get the shafts I prefer (i.e. KBS Tour stiff) and my fav grips (Golf Pride Full cord)

I don't think Miura typically sells them pre-assembled. See Tourspecgolf.com, and you can buy them for around USD975 for heads only, then add extra for your choice of shafts. KBS is not an option, but you can get them fitted at DGman's shop if he has KBS in stock

Tried them and never really liked them. I might be the only one here who prefer an MP68 over these Miuras...

Tourspecgolf.com might have not the KBS combo but Torque Golf in Laguna does have the Miura with KBS shaft combo.

if I am not wrong, torque selling them for 320 per piece together with the shaft of ur choice.

If you guys want to get it, better do it soon as Miura's prices are on the uptrend.

Did tried before the Miura MB.. shiok but cannot afford them now.

desyjean, u miura agent?

desyjean: Yes tried it but I would post a word of caution on this one. It's sort of like going to someone's house with a 'Cost No Object' high-fi based around the Rockport Sirius III, Gaku-On and Wilson WHAMM; when all you have at home are Mission Speakers, an Arcam integrated amp and a Marantz CD player. After listening to the reference rig, your own set becomes unlistenable.

Same analogy for Miura. Kinda hard to go back once you try it. I have and now I can't get it out of my mind!

Precisely! That's the reason why they are one of the best if not the best forger around. As for their price, again, relatively reasonable as compared to others and you get a very very good set for slightly more than the Big names in golf. Been there done that!

Yep I pay to hold his clubs on my hands! In directly I am a shareholder.

Agree that bag-for-the-buck, they aren't as expensive a toy as say... a car or stereo. Truth be told, a set shouldn't cost you more then S$ 3000. In SIN, S$3000 buys you....

1. 1/10 of a COE.
2. Gas in SIN for 9 months.
3. Green fees for 8 months.
4. 6 slap up meals at Iggy's with wine.

Hence, quite a reasonable expense...

Don't buy in Singapore. If you are patient enough hunt around ebay and some times and I meant some times you get it for a song, shipped! That's what I did. Wait and wait and finally the right one came along and then you are screwed!
