This comment made me buy some 😅

Where do you live John?

Been fitted here a few times They are the best I've dealt with His associates in the company are fantastic as well

They’re sweet

@@mikemartysiewicz our swings are different but club head speed not too dissimilar. I got them 1deg strong with the Mitsubishi OT 80g stiff. I was trying to see what shaft you had in it but couldn’t catch a glimpse of it.

We had 120gram stiff LA GOLF shafts in there.

Same... I just bought a set of z965 blades. Uh oh. Amazing condition, barely hit, and almost half the price of any srixon I could find used. £200 4-pw. Couldn't turn down a bargain! Hope they work out for me. Modus 120 stiff, grips look like they haven't been used. Did you find the sole helped fat or thin shots being a picker?

T100s might be less forgiving than these. At first I thought the sole was too different but the look in the bag is beautiful and the 5 iron at address today at the range literally took my breath away. Miura-san put his stamp on it, put his soul into it, his last iron. And it is worthy. I hope you got a set or pick up a new set before they're gone. I'm even getting covers for mine, lol.

@@lkae4 wow! I need to hit these. 🔥🔥

@@donkee9 Definitely get some demo time first. The website has fitters. Ask them to see a 5 iron. It looks crazy lol.

I was hovering around a 12HC for years, was gifted a set of MB 5002s and quickly got down to a 10 now. It's funny how missing the sweet spot makes you really want to concentrate and hit it so your teeth don't rattle out. Can't be timid with those or blades.

@@casualguy393 I just ordered the MP 223 version of Miura Tc-201 basically a tad more forgiving than the 502 same blade length but width is .016” wider but they eerily resemble the Mp223 got a mint set coming with KBS C-taper 125 S+ shafts for $1250 been hitting Hogan Icon blades this summer in my second year worked down to a 10 hdcp but could use the forgiveness and ball speeds I think I will get with the TC-201 wanted the KM-700 soo bad but sets were going from $1900-2500 I’m thoroughly happy I didn’t settle for the cobra king tour I got fitted in

@@boxerboy860 Good to hear. I am sure that you are going to love them. I love those KBS shafts too. I had them in my S-Yard GT irons and I really wanted to take them out and put them in my Miuras. However, I reluctantly gave the S-Yards to the VP of the Japanese Foot and Ankle Society and he gushes about them every time we meet. I love Cobra too. My BioCell driver will always be in my bag, I didn't miss a fairway for 3 months with it. My custom assembled 3-4w initially got ridiculed because it is the pink women's Biocell head on a 43" Aldila NV shaft, but that thing is almost as long and as accurate as my driver. If the Cobra irons are half as good as the woods then they must be amazing too. I just can't imagine dropping the Miura irons for Cobras lol. As for the blades, including Hogans, I can't see a time when I will switch to CBs. Despite playing terribly this year, one 4 iron shot was so pure that I actually thought I missed the ball because I didn't feel ANYTHING! It was like a deaf cowboy cracking a whip. I think it was the only time I was truly happy even though I lost the frigging ball hahahaha.

No issues!

These are pretty advanced clubs for a high handicapper like yourself. You made a great choice in getting these because with these you can set your goal to be able to hit the long irons consistently, and the satisfaction and appreciation for them will be enormous! With these, it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot. These are very special irons and your perception of forgiveness will change as you improve. Advanced players remark these clubs high levels of forgiveness. You are lucky to have these. One day I hope to own a set

Same. I love them. What shaft are you playing? I was fit in Feb by Ian for some CB-301s. He chose Aerotech Steel Fibre Private Reserve for me so I went with those in the KMs.

I’ve been tempted to pull the trigger on these. My MC 501 are still in pretty good shape and I still love them.

@@robertbogdan7058 I had the TC-201's previously with the Nippon Modus 3 120 Stiffs (same shafts in my PXG Gen 5 0311T's and my Srixon ZX-7's)

Good to know as I build these up!

@@FlyboyAF22 same shafts on my MC's as well, absolutely LOVE the set up!

Could it be that your thinking about too much that your head is leading into that shot even before you hit it? There might be a

What part of the numbers do you not believe? We can’t boost the ball speed, launch angle, spin rate etc. They are all measured outputs from the GC Quad.

1.44 smash factor with a mishit 6 iron. According to the Trackman website PGA tour average is 1.38. And, my understanding is that Trackman yields slightly higher smash factors than GC quad.

I am not saying you are manipulating the numbers, I just can’t see how that can be accurate.

P401

Yes, that’s definitely on the agenda

less so than 301?

from what i read more forgiving than TC201 but less forgiving than 301.

Mizunos are lovely, but I play Miura MB 5002s, a 10HC, I pick the ball as well. I think you would love those clubs in the video, some muscle backs or even blades.

Do it do it do it !!!

@@mikemartysiewicz lol, trust I would...and might soon, but pulling my MP64s from the bag will require something next level.

Probably awhile buddy. Miura’s site says pre-orders will ship “Q1 of 2023”. Q1 runs from January to March.

We normally do that but being so limited Miura couldn’t spare a set!! Full recap of them when the sets built.

What irons did you get into!?

@@mikemartysiewicz Wilson D9 forged.

There are pics floating around on golfwrx of the mc-502. Also the km-700 is not a replacement for any iron in the Miura lineup but more of a limited release. Believe these are the last iron Katsuhiro Miura designed.

@@timbuma3693 Thanks, Tim. I found the pics on GolfWRX and Reddit and I have to say I’m not a fan based on the pictures. It looks like they took all of the hard lines I like about the 501 and rounded them off. I’m still planning on getting the KM-700s when my dealer gets his allocation since I’m on his list. In the meantime I’ll continue to enjoy my 501s.

wondering the same.

They said he was doing some travel. I think he’ll be away for a few more weeks

He’s been doing some content with trottie(team Taylor made clubmaker I think?)

Of course...changing balls would offer the most increase in spin as well

LA GOLF L series 120 Stiff

Giken are custom specs and only available in Japan. Miura is the US version

It was the 120 stiff

@@clubchampionmedia Thanks. I assume that was the L Series .355 shaft in 4 (S). 120 grams. Wow, torque is just 1.5. 120 grams is heavy in steel. I have a set of Mizuno MP-67 cut-muscle irons with the Aldila NV Green MLTi pro-S graphite shafts. Those felt really stiff but were only 105 grams with 2.8 torque. They were tip stiff, low launch. Not for me any more at age 81!! But 120 grams in Mike's shafts with just 1.5 torque sounds like a really big boy beefy shaft. The X shaft is still 120 grams and the same 1.5 torque. This is a pretty expensive setup. The KM-700 irons cost $400 (US$) apiece. The LA shafts are not one of their options. On the LA website they cost $100 a pop. So are you looking at $500 per iron plus insertion and any puring? That would come to at least $3,000 for 5 through PW with the LA shafts.

120 Stiff 37.5”

Thank you for getting back to me Mike which LA shaft is that. We have a very similar swing speed. I’m getting fitted sometime next week or two and I wanna make sure they have all the LA shafts.

Not an expert on this topic but you want to strike the ball before the turf for sure. I guess how the club goes through the turf which is a function of the sole design will make you subconsciously make slight adjustments to the swing.

A wider sole for someone who is more of a “sweeper”, is more forgiving. Something with a thinner sole will dig into the ground much more easily, less margin for error. Fat shots will still be fat even with a wider sole.. but it’s about increasing the margin for error. Someone that delivers a great attack angle may not like wider soles because of how it interacts with the turf after contact.

The low point of the swing is supposed be after the ball for good ball striking. What happens with someone who’s shallower, and low point is at or just after impact, is the sole will still interact with some grass leading into impact. If this is happening with a thicker sole, there’s a greater chance of hitting a shot fat, but a thinner sole gives more clearance and makes it easier to slide the club in behind the ball without interacting too much with the ground.

@@dominikaltheimer9992 I am a single digit hcp and have played with old school (Mizunos) blades for 20+ years. Typically, I take a dollar bill, or smaller, sized divot. I have tried several of the modern (I guess I'm old!) irons with a wider sole and find them to not suit my game. I know that club manufacturers have come up with some good ideas over the years regarding forgiveness but much of the rest is simply marketing trying to sell more clubs.

@@glennwiebe5128 interesting feedback! I have the same divot pattern and picked the P770 specifically for their sole design. I’m a higher handicap golfer but most forgiving clubs have soles that didn’t work for me.

So why could a 10 who is a very good ball striker not use these?

@@krusher74 not saying they can’t use these. What I’m saying is a 10 handicap is not a very good ball striker.

@@jwild5360 he could be if he chips poorly and takes 38 putts>

@@neilcameron3021 bro if someone is a “solid” ball striker they are not going to be terrible at any other part of the game. Especially chipping and pitching. A solid ball striker is shooting under par regularly. Our definitions of solid must be in 2 different worlds. A 10 handicap who regularly shoots 84-85 often 90 and sometimes 81-82 isn’t “solid” at any part of the game. It just doesn’t work that way.

I know a hell of a ball striker that’s a 10 but just struggles off the tee so his iron play has to be money but off the tee gets him into trouble and short game is 50/50 Sincerely Champ
