Those Epons remind me of the movie Iron Man.....

Me too... Even though black and copper paint look pardee when new, they gets ugly in short order. I did like Pings Beryllium heads, plus they didn't wear out. I am a satin finish kinda guy... lasts and looks good. Heck my seven year old x-Forged satin heads still look decent, and I play 2-3 times per week.

The Beryllium Pings were probably the most durable club ever made.....We had an old member of my club that did some type of grinding on his beryllium Eye2 Lob wedge and inhaled some of the dust and it messed him up. He ended up in the hospital for a while.

As I recall, Ping fought discontinuing them for quite some time. But, mfg costs and AZ state requirements were growing out of sight. Not sure if it's still used in nuclear construction or not, but it was. Some unusual properties.

Does anyone know if Miura will drop a new CB-202 iron as I've tried purchasing a set and are currently discontinued. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Believe the 202 is going away. Likely replace with a slightly new design to replace them.

I can see miura replacing the cb202 with the miura giken cb1006 model. Should be a similar look to their newer blade release.

Why? The CB-201 got the Miura name on the planet!

unfortunately there the popularity of the CB 202's went down after our Passing Point 9003 came out, but we always are thinking of new ideas so please keep your eyes open for future new releases!


Thank you

I've hit the Miura Giken MB-5003 and Miura TBs, and I find the TBs to be a lot better in terms of feel, much softer and more forgiving too.

Is it just me or anyone finds this true also? Any feedback? The MB-5003 is the closest I can demo the MB-001 and I wanna order now...

[djhgolf]

Anyone else hit these?? Very keen!

Were the 5003's and TB's shafted the same? Because they're the exact same club, same exact specs made at the same factory, with a slightly different sole grind; the TB has a little more leading edge relief and bounce for North American turf.

[kaaayelll]

MB001 and 5003 look to be pretty much the same head. I would not say the same of the TB based on muscle shape alone.

[Bigtex]

I guess I'm just a sucker for colored clubs, but I think those Epons look pretty spiffy. Then again, it's a 302, which is an iron to drool over to start with. It is a tad shiny, granted. I have a set of 502s in a grayish greenish semi-brown sorta finish that definitely shows quit a bit of wear. Not sure what the finish is supposed to be. Starting to see a little oxidation. I'm hoping that the oxidation will spread. Might look pretty cool with a patina of rust.

Got my heads 2 weeks ago and put 'em together last week but with all the snow can't hit 'em. Hope to head up to Detroit this week, pay a visit to Carl's golfland and give 'em a whirl. Pretty excited as they seem the perfect compromise for me tween the BB's and TB's both of which I had.

[/quote]I think they are much better than the TB's and BB's. Although I must say I'm not too keen on blades at the moment.

I _think_ so much depends on how well one is swinging when using _any_ club. I was swinging brutal when I was using my TB's a few years ago and I had a chance for a good buy on the BB's so I went after it. When I was swinging well the BB's were great, absolutely loved them. But I had a set of Nippon gh's sitting around my closet for a number of years just collecting dust so I decided to throw them into a set of Mizzie 68's. Wow!! _The_ shaft for me!! So long story short it got me to wondering how these would be in a set of Miuras. So I was able to sell my BB's and get the 001's new for a wash basically...50 bucks was all I was out after getting a side deal on a new set of nippons. I just figured the 001's were closer in size than the BB's to the Mizzies which I was hitting so well.....just worth a shot. The Miura's were originally my retirement gift to myself when I first got the TB's so I just hate to give up on them. :-) If worst comes to worst I know I won't have any trouble selling the 001's and pick up a set of another set of 68 or 69's for 1/2 the price.

We have a demo at our shop and man these are very sweet irons...so sweet that one of our club builders bought them immediately and put some aerotech steelfibers in them. pure iron heaven.

Reviews guys??

I have been playing mine for a few weeks now....4-PW with KBS Tour 90 "S"...I switched from PP 9003 Black Boron with Aerotech i80 "S". So far what I have noticed is that I hit the MB 001's a bit higher and they seem to go the same distance in the air...Hard to tell with the cold wet air we have on the Wet Coast at the moment.
I always feel it is foolish to use the terms "Forgiving" and "Blades" in the same sentence...but the mishits on the MB 001's feel better than I experienced on TB or BB....I am a pretty good ball striker (0.4 Index atm) so my misses tend to be pretty close to the sweet spot....when I miss hit these a bit thin all I see is a small loss of distance and a little lower flight...pure strikes are just that...PURE!!
I have spent lots of time on the range with them (We have a covered heated range a few minutes from home) and I really love the solid feel....I have used an HB-4 hybrid for some time but opted for a 4 iron in this set and am really happy with it.............flight is slightly lower than the HB-4 but the carry is longer and still plenty high enough to hold the green.

All in all....I am super pleased with these clubs. Can't wait for warm weather or another trip down south.

BTW....I did a little range experiment the other day....took a gallon ice cream bucket to the range and filled it with HOT water and dumped in a couple dozen balls....I let them sit in the hot water for about 40 minutes while I warmed up and hit a bunch of the cold balls out of the machine. What a difference....the HOT balls felt like I was hitting it in the summer again....at least 10% longer and felt awesome!! I am sure these MB 001's are going to be fabulous in the warm weather.

[/quote]Great endorsement, best looking of any blades out right now.

My enabler (West Coast Custom Clubs) was generous and loaned me a demo 6 iron. These irons are really nice. Here are some comparison pictures to my Cally X-Proto. To me, the Miura is a little more square and slightly smaller. I like the leading edge of the Miura better too (I am not a steep swinger). The Miura has a KBS Tour and my Protos have Nippon SPB.
