Difference between Miura and Miura Giken?

[kthug5]

What is MG Miura. Is it just Japanese? Here's the site.

Any help would be nice. About to buy Miura equipment from 3-Lob, just though I should know the difference before I do.

 

While I'm posting this, I might as well ask for your opinions on the different grinds in wedges. I'm ordering PW - 53y - 59c

 

Cheers!

Miura is what they sell internationally and Miura Giken is just for the Japanese market

Miura Giken is offered to the Japanese and Korean markets. Miura Golf covers the rest of the world. Mr Miura builds both models and is a stockholder in both companies.

Muriaism is offered on TSG and is mighty expensive.

Not as expensive as the Hagane...or go with circle K for rarity.

Haven't heard of hagane before. i know about all the others. What exactly is Hagane?

[MJisGOAT]

Miura Giken is the manufacturer of forged golf clubs in Japan. They make a series of products that they market in Japan under the Miura, Miuraism, Passing Point and Hagane names.
Miura Golf is the sales and distribution partner to Miura Giken everywhere in the world outside of Japan. They market the Miura brand of clubs and accessories that are made by Miura Giken for the non-Japanese markets.

Circle Ks are ground by Mr. Miura himself; not sure about the Hagane.

[/quote] Yep, not sure I've ever heard that kind of attention to detail with epon (endo).

I'm intrigued by Miura... I just had my 1st set built and went with the MG CB-2007. The link MJisGOAT posted is pretty cool since it has all the models dating back to 1994. The CB 1003 from 1996 look very similar
to the Global Miura CB-501.

You can also specify copper underlayer on Miura Gikens. Which you cant do with the normal Miura line offered internationally
