Hmmm..... There would definitely be some change.

 

As of this writing, on 04.21.23, my consensus is....

 

# 14.... TC-101 

# 13.... MC-501*

# 12.... Nike Split Cavity Proto*

# 11.... 202-CB

# 10.... Nike Full Cavity Proto*

# 9.... CB-301 2019*

# 8.... CB-1008*

# 7.... Baby Blade 2.0

# 6.... Baby Blade 1957*

# 5.... TB-000*

# 4.... KM-700*

# 3.... CB-1006*

# 2.... CB-1007 Y Grind*

# 1.... CB-57*

 

 

 

( * = presently own a set )

 

 

 

# 8 and # 9, CB-1008 and CB-301 2019, respectively, I would consider interchangeable. 

 

# 11 and # 12, 202-CB and Nike Split Cavity Proto, respectively, I would also consider interchangeable. 

 

The MC-501 and TC-101 are the two which fell out of favor the most. Not saying they are a bad club by any means, but for me, they don't fit.

 

The MC-501 is very sticky and likes to dig, even with leading edge relief. Outside that though, it's a tremendous club and design. If I could go back in time and get even more leading edge relief, maybe they would still be a Top 5 Contender, but they are discontinued and I can not right a wrong any further. 

 

The TC-101 is a great club as well, but I have sincere feelings that it may be missed classified. It flies too high, and flies too straight. I lost distance, even compared to a blade. And, I couldn't move it anywhere. It just stayed stupid straight, and high. Based on the design, with significant weight redistributed to the heel and the toe, the TC-101 plays more like a Full Cavity Forging. Super forgiving. Super easy to hit. But if you want your golf ball moving in any direction, I found complications. 

 

In regards to the CB-1008. I could play it tomorrow if I had to. No problems. No complaints. But I'm fortune to have options, that I find even better than the CB-1008. I also think that speaks volumes to what I think of the Top 3: CB-57, CB-1007 Y Grind, and CB-1006. The CB-57 and the CB-1007 Y Grind, 6 Iron through 9 Iron, I more or less see as absolute perfection. You can't improve upon it. The CB-1006, I'm not crazy in love with the Finish, but outside that, again, it borders upon perfection. 

 

And, the last thing I'm going to say, the new, CB-302, has outstanding chances of cracking the Top 10, and possibly, the Top 5. The CB-302, to me, looks like the CB-57, CB-1008, and TC-201, had a menage a trois, and 9 months later, the CB-302 popped out! TBD.... 

You playing 302s yet? Wondering if they have lived up to expectation.

Naw. It's gonna be a little while. Unfortunately. I'm patiently waiting on the balance of a custom order. Probably be 6 weeks or so.

I’m not really talking about some super rare or high end custom. But of your basic over the shelf Miura irons. Which would everyone say is the best?  In terms of feel and performance?

 

ive owned CB57, MC501, MB101 and a couple different wedges.  I’ve since sold them all and moved along as I’m a bit of a club hoe and like trying out new things.  But wanting to buy one Miura set that I’ll just keep and ever sell. Even if it’s not my everyday gamer.   I’ve never owned or even hit, but really have always had a love for the baby blades. That’s what I’m kinda leaning towards 

I haven't tried them all but I don't know how you could get better feeling than the MB-5003. Chris (owner of Tour Spec Golf) echos that sentiment.

I haven’t hit the Y grind and tried to get a set at on time, but I can’t imagine it being better than the 57 blades.  I have hit a good amount of Miura and the bb are unique.  I also thought the y grind and miuraism sb01 were the same head  anyway?
