Had been a Mizuno player- blades specifically- for over ten years, yet was still unsure about Miura irons, given their mystique. Finally took the plunge and was fitted for their Baby Blades, and have never looked back; and honestly, don't know that I'll ever be able to, now! I always held Mizuno blades in such high regard- and still do- but Miura is truly in a league of its own...no matter who you pin them against...period! The feel, sound, performance, feedback and well, unparalleled look, is nostalgic! Miura mini blades are the equivalent of what a Samurai warrior would chose for battle and thus, this shall remain my choice of swords to battle all courses, henceforth. For those on the fence, take the plunge: your game will never be the same! Thank You Mr Miura, Miura family, dedicated craftsman and the entire International Miura Team!
Samuri sword transferred to irons, true art. Worth to travel to Japan just for this.
Played Mizuno for 12 years! First time I hit a Miura I knew they were special! Way better feel!! Never looked back!!Proud owner of 202’s, mb001, and cb 1008’s.
Had Miura 201s for about 5 years and 5 years ago got 202s - no need to upgrade - they are still perfect - I am Miura for life.
danthemanwhocancan the 202’s are perfect!! I want another set with the updated grooves!!
It was at this point I knew I would$ be playing Miura for the rest of my life!
The attention to detail Miura has is unmatched.
Jerome David vaga is the master Miura is the student there can be only one
Wow! What a beautiful philosophy! Some Miura blade irons landed at my local pro shop about 2 weeks ago. But when I could not find them in the shop anymore, so I asked the young teaching pro what happened to them? He said there was a strange sound late one night with flashing lights and the security guard swore he sore a disc shaped craft wisk down and scoop the irons up , then it wisked off again back into the vast blackness of outer space! Goddarn it! just when my broker E.F. Hutton gave me permission to release some equity from my property to be able to afford to buy a set! Ah well you can't have everything, so I guess I'll have to settle for a humble set of Pings.
I own Miura CB501 irons, paired with Miura Black wedges. The clubs are beautiful to look at, and are awesome to play with. Thank you Miura team....VERY well done.
Amazing! I cannot wait to own these works of art!
If I were to go to Japan I would to straight to a miura foundry or somewhere where they make miura clubs just to catch a mere glimpse of the art that is miura irons and wedges, right now I play old second hand clubs from my father that were handed to him because they were unwanted. Anyone who owns a set of miura wedges or irons I consider more fortunate then me in every way, because of the effort and soul that went into making these masterpieces of soft iron work is outstanding and miura is the only brand that I will ever believe is the best. Thank you katsuhiro miura.
the finest irons i've ever played by a mile! Thanks guys 8-)
better than Mizuno?
Wow... incredible...
Great work Taylor
Excellent video, wonderful workmanship.
I'm hoping to buy a set as a retirement gift to myself. and would love to visit their factory.
Great clubs, look at address is special.
One day!!!
Seriously, they are different and special
My dream clubs.
my series 1957 small blades are perfection, it is an honour to play them. thank you.
This was an incredible video. I play Ping cavity backs and am a fairly new golfer taking lessons and I am interested in the IC-601 irons. I wish there was more info available.
I liked this video
Such a sick video! If I had some extra dough I'd pony up for a set for sure.
playing them and just the finest ....
Give my best to Mr. Miura, family, and team please. Thank you for my 101 MB's.
Love Muira Forged irons and only issues is very hard to find golf fitting centre in UK 🇬🇧
You could try Precision Golf of Weybridge (or Byfleet) in Surrey. If you don’t live in that area, they could probably recommend a fitter in your area.
I own the wedges 51,55,59 deg and nothing else comes even close to the feel, looks at address and performance.
Amazing...I also have the y51°, c55° and c59° wedges, for about 2 years now. I gave my Vokey's to my son. No looking back for me...Miura's are worth every penny.
@@oldschoolruler They feel that much better than Vokeys? I love my wedges, but this company's process is very intriguing. I'm genuinely curious about what you can tell me about these clubs.
Adam...consistency is the main thing I've noticed. They just feel balanced and pure. If I take a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full swing. I'm confident how far the ball will travel. I know it sounds unreal, but I truly believe these are the best clubs made.
@@oldschoolrulerIn my experience, everything you said, that's Titleist over everything else I've tried. Except maybe these. I guess I need to get one in my hands, only way to know for myself. Thanks for your thoughts on them.
If there is a 'Club Champion' near you, you can schedule an evaluation and try them in store. I was fitted for mine. The shafts, grips and puring process make these my dream wedges. My buddies are consistently amazed with my short game...so am I, lol!
I found all Japanese clubs well made, prgr, mizuno, honma, xxio. All made to visual perfection when new, I have used mizuno and honma extensively and like them. I wonder what Miura do better, the feel part I am not really sure, I have not played golf long enough to judge.
Can't get this to play. Anyone else?
Are you still getting the error?
Love my mb-001s. I'll never play any other blades
👍👍👍
All the clubs in my bag are now Miura except for my woods and driver.. they don’t make them for lefties unfortunately. Any info on when we might get some lefty woods and drivers?
Tyler W you use the putter? I have they Y grind cavity and y grind blades and the wedges (would love to try the k grind)
I use an Envroll putter but am very interested in the Miura putter if I’m in the need of a new putter
ian redlinger I rolled the Miura putter this past weekend for the first time with not a single warmup putt. I didn’t have a single 3 putt for the round. Not that 3 putts are common for me, but not having ever used the Miura, it just rolls pure. I highly consider it. Plus the price really isn’t that bad.. $250
Between MIURA, MIZUNO and HONMA...who makes the Best Irons and why...???
I played MIZUNO MP32 which left me with mixed reactions, when I'm on song they were the best clubs to play in terms of feel and on those days where my swing was not a friend they would frustrate the shit out of me,especially those off center hits, but man when I pured those things the feel was unlike any other,hence the saying NOTHING FEELS LIKE A MIZUNO which I can attest to.
I would like to know if MIURA is better coz I'm very much tempted to get me a set.
What would anybody suggest, especially if you've moved from MIZUNO to MIURA...I am in love with their attention to detail and workmanship, I feel like they are one of the most underrated club makers in the world, to me they are like the automobile manufacturer LEXUS(LS 460) who are highly underrated but are exceptionally good compared to their German counterparts, I say so coz I drive one by the way.😉
Please can anyone advice.
Thanks.
I haven't played Mizunos, but I have hit many types of Miura irons. I was given a set of S-Yard GT (actually made by Epon) irons for some work I did for S-Yard, which is owned by Seiko, and was thinking to switch to Miuras because I heard so much about them. So, I took my S-Yard GT irons to a practice range that sold Miuras here in Japan and put them all head to head. I'm a solid 9 HC, and after a warmup I hit 10 with each club. While the Miuras felt very good, I couldn't find a set that worked better for me than my GTs. It could be the shafts (NS Pro 950 S), or even the grips (I use 3 layers of tape and a thicker grip). The Miuras were either a bit more erratic, not as long, and sometimes both. Now, I am not here to bash on Miura because I love how they are hand made, the design, the look, the feel... everything. But, the S-Yard GTs overall, outperformed them for me. Which is sad because I would have easily paid $2000 for a set of Miuras if they worked for me. Your mileage may vary, and many players who are much better than me swear by them.
@SpinachToothedSmile It's hard to tell braddah. Some of the Miura's I hit had the same shafts as my S-Yards, but I just couldn't get them to work for me. I do think they are the best looking clubs on Earth though lol.
@SpinachToothedSmile You'll never guess what happened. 1 of my clients here in Japan is a golfer, and gave me two sets of Miuras. One set is 2002s (AW-3i) on DG S200 shafts, and the other set is 5002s (Pw-3i) on DG S300 shafts. Sure, they are old, but they are in good shape.
Yesterday I switched the 7i grip for my usual 3 layers of tape and same grip and will take it out tomorrow during my break for a quick test. It still could be the shafts causing a different feel, but I'm not ready to spring for a full set of new NS Pro 950 S shafts and new grips just yet.
I own both Mizuno and Miura. And Miura is better, in terms of everything, by FAR. I never owned Homa but have demoed them before and they felt almost exactly the same as Srixon, which is a different feel than Mizuno, a little harder but not bad at all, absolutely no comparison to Miura tho. So in conclusion, among those three brands you listed, Miura is the winner by FAR, especially in terms of feel. There are a few other brands from Japan that are on the same level Miura, Epon, Kyoei, Seven, and even Fujimoto is pretty close.
How is Endo forging different?
Where can I get Miura irons in Australia?
Yeah.I am looking for Miura fitting center in Melbourne also..
Music is way too loud compared to the voices of the individuals being interviewed
So are his clubs like katanas? With soft steel at the back, and hard steel at the front
Hmmm I three ideas
Wish we could have seen more of the process and less mystique ambience around the brand.
Here is an overview of our forging process ua-cam.com/video/8CXfmHBzMDw/v-deo.html
Miura Golf thanks. I have seen that one before.
Guess I was hoping to see more of the design and science aspects of club making.
If I have stack of cash lying useless there, I would get myself a set of Miura or Itobori!
These cost a lot of money. Love Miura, but a pro once told me that for 95% of the golfers they should buy a $500 set of clubs, then get lessons and PRACTICE a few times weekly (Seems young guys don't want to do that anymore) , as the great Ben Hogan said "you find your game in the dirt", by time at the range. . You cannot buy a game. Makes me wonder if it matters to most of us if we play PING, or Titleist, or Mizuno or Callaway, does it really matter to most of us- I don't know. Miura are great, If Jack Nicklaus puts them in the bag which he has, you know their great and I'm tempted to get some. Just not convinced it matters for most of us hacks.
majorsmythe1 it depends on what “matters” the most to you. To me, it’s the mentality, you can call it a pet peeve but I must mentally feel comfortable with the equipment in my hands to swing confidently. By comfortable I mean, my favorite clubs. I started playing golf 6 years ago with a used set of Callaway for about $200. About a year into playing I discovered Miura. I was at 12 handicap at that time but I could tell for SURE that Miura was something different than anything off the rack. It was nearly $3000 to built a set so I didn’t purchase them right away. But ever since then I felt the club I had was just a piece of trash whenever I swung them, which bothered me a LOT. A month later I decided to order a set of Miura CB-57. After 5 years I am now at a 1.7 handicap(I have been able to practice basically everyday and actually seeking a career out of golf rn) and those Miura are still in bag. So from my experience, if you can, get the shit you want, so that you know the rest of your game is totally on you.
I love that quote "you find your game in dirt"...I want a set of these, love the craftsmanship and attention to detail...not to say others don't pay attention but MIURA looks like the type of company whose ability to pay attention to detail is analogous to that of the Japanese Automobile manufacturer LEXUS(LS 460-500 to be precise)...I am in love.
@@vic_0315 You're obviously a true golfer. So much is made of "how a club looks at address" and it all comes down to preference. You're so right about everything you said. I have a great set of newer Mizunos, I liked them and was fitted into them. Bought some second hand CB57's, just to try because they were a good deal and getting them extended, lie adjusted and regripped was only a couple bucks, I took them to the range. My Mizzys now sit gathering dust as I enjoy every moment with my Miuras. Long live the king of forged irons.
Why aren’t pros using this clubs?
Many are. Miura won’t say who is using them and they are usually rebranded. Strong evidence shows Tiger used rebranded Miura irons back in the day
Pros use them. Companies like Titlist and Taylor Made request orders to Miura to build custom blades for them. Miura would make the blades and a company like Taylor Made would stamp the club as theirs.
Vince Keosomboon Abraham Ancer...edit update: won the WGC with TC-201 irons
There are pros using their clubs like explained by above replies. But very few pros actually officially play for Miura(wearing their hats, using their bags), because Miura rarely sponsors pros, or not nearly as much as those other popular brands. Because Miura just isn’t interested in advertising or marketing to expand their business.
@@adamboyle3331 I heard that the Titleist iron used by Tiger Woods back then were actually made by Miura.
Been playing 40 years, and FINALLY could afford some used 9003 passing point irons last year.....the feel was no different.
I'd imagined hitting a Miura iron for years, broke my heart when I learned there is no magic....it's a piece of metal just like any other forged iron. That "extra" step meant nothing.
He worked for vaga there made exactly the same technically he stole there Technique and went his own way that’s the mystery if you play with vaga or Miura there both as good but Miura is son vaga is the Dady without Dady no son
