Miura Feel - Is it Overrated?

tikidavyi · July 2, 2021

As many have already commented, the best part of Miura (CB-1008) that I've played is the direct feedback of where your mis-hits are. No one is perfect every shot, but knowing where you hit it can help you adjust in future swings. Not to mention, the dense feel of a solid hit in the sweet spot is an award on its own.

I recently picked up a set of CB-1008 irons and have played some really good golf with them. I expected to be blown away by the feel and really haven't experienced that "wow" moment yet. Don't get me wrong, they feel good when flushed but they aren't life changing by any means. Has anyone else had this experience?

Feel is mostly audible. I hot melted some Cleveland 588 altitude irons and they feel the exact same as my Miura left hand cavity back irons. I noticed this because I often hit balls at the range with headphones on where sound is taken out of the equation and the density of the strike and feel is the exact same because I made sure that both club's specs are the same because I use the Miura's in gap wedge through 8 iron and the Altitudes in 7 through 3 iron. OEM's spend millions trying to tune the sound of a club because it contributes the more to the feel than actual tactile feel does in my opinion. Mizuno is well known for this as we all know. Try it yourself and hit clubs with headphones on and they all feel pretty much the exact same. There will be differences in regards to the density of the strike due to the club heads being different sizes but you can play with the weighting of a game improvement club and make the strike feel very close to that of a blade from what I have found through my testing.
