Please need help translating Japanese Miura Craftsman World custom order page

IsaacK · June 9, 2019

Hi all,

I am looking to order a custom set of MG CB-1008s.

I found this web page, but it is all in Japanese:

http://www.miuragiken.com/craftsman-world/iron-head/

I have kind of figured out some of the options, but need some help with Table 1 (options 3, 4, 5)

and Table 2. As well, I cannot figure out option 12.

Also, does anyone know the difference between Nickel-Chrome Satin and Nickel Satin?

What I have figured out so far:

FaceLine: [A2] Small Face

SoleDesign: [b3] DoubleCut Sole

TopBlade: [C1] Thin Blade

Finish: [D41] Cu Ni-Cr Satin or [D43] Cu Ni Satin

7. Loft angle: [0] no change

8. Lie angle: [0] no change

9. Face Progression: [D] + 2 mm

10. Bounce angle: [0] no change

11. Weight; [0]

12. ???

Stamp Color: [01] color dropout

Initials engraving 3 letters: No

Thanks in advance,

Isaac

Option 12 appears to refer to the diameter of the hosel bore, so they can adjust it.

Incidentally, you got the face progression down as +2, but from the table it appears that the CB1008s can only be adjusted 1mm either way. At least, that's the way I'm reading it. I've no experience ordering a Miura club, so don't take what I say as gospel.

Option 3 refers to the adjustability of the outline of the head. I think it means they can do the R-shape and small-head shape (A2) with the CB1008s. Option 4 is the sole grind. The leading edge with the CB1008 appears to be their regular spec (see edit below), but they can do the trading cut sole*, double cut sole (relief on both sides?) and the "dent" sole.

*It says "trading" but I'm wondering if it's a misprint for "trailing" as the picture seems to show some trading edge relief.

Option 5 refers to topline adjustability; with the CB1008s, they can make the topline thicker or thinner.

That's the way I read it, anyway.

edit: by that, I mean the 1008 CB seems to come with a bevelled leading edge as standard.

Hi No_Catchy_Nickname,

Thanks so much for your translation. I think I can order now with some confidence.

Any idea the difference between Nickel-Chrome Satin and Nickel Satin?

Thanks again,

Isaac

No, I'm afraid not. My only guess is that the Nickel satin has a layer of nickel that is then brushed to give the satin finish, whereas with the Nickel-Chrome Satin, the iron has a layer of nickel, which is then chromed, and the chrome is brushed to give a satin finish. But that is pure guesswork on my part. There's no explanation on the page.
