Miura mixed bag quesiton

etrichards · January 27, 2014

I currently play Miura CB-301's, and love them. However, I'm wanting to go to a blade pitching wedge. While I like the TB's, I LOVED the feel from the small blade PW. I haven't gotten a chance to try the new blade, but was wondering if y'all would have a concern with the difference in size in the same set?

I want the blade PW for something a little easier to flight down, as well as I've decided last year to go back to chipping primarily with a PW. I prefer chipping with the blades.

I know a lot would go with a 47-48 degree in what I would call a SW style wedge, but I don't like the SW style PW's for full swings, so I figured my options would be the small blade or the new MB 001.

Thanks for your help!

I play the 301's as well. Have loved them for years. But I start at the 9-iron with a Tour Blade, and then go to the Y-grind 49 (bent to 47) as my pitching wedge. It's like a scalpel for short low pitches, but swings well from the fairway out to 110yds for me. Nothing wrong with experimenting til you find the mix right for you. In fact, it adds confidence on the scoring shots.

The new MB 001's are awesome.....the whole bag works well in blades, but if you are thinking for short irons only,,,, I would suggest you try them in PW,9i,and 8i...mixed with your 301's....that will make a great set-up.

I can't help you as a lefty, but thought I would share my left handed mixed Miura set. Love the combo.

The MB 001s look like the ones Nick Price used to game with the curved muscle. 8 9 & PW MB 001 would be my pick for your setup.

Sorry - I haven't been able to log in awhile. Thanks all for the advice - Definitely interested in the MB 001s - While I'll try baby blades as well, I keep wondering how they'll look on the lies with the ball below my feet.

And, that left handed combo set is beautiful. Almost makes me wish I still played left handed!
