Miura CB-302 Irons

It took Miura eight years to get back to a cavity back that is 100% forged. The forging process is anything but trivial, but Miura got it "forged", so to speak. But seriously: the CB-302 is a Cavity Back of highest quality and like everything from the Japanese quality manufacturer Miura not only an optical highlight.

The CB-302 is actually a classic cavity back. The weight in the club is so low that it is far away from a blade. Miura also does that without any other weight components like screws or tungsten inserts in the toe or the sole. This is what makes the CB-302 so classic.

The lofts of the CB-302 are relatively strong, the 4 iron has 22 degrees and therefore it is recommended to add a gap wedge between 48 and 50 degrees.

Before you order the CB-301 from us you should consider various things - or contact us directly. This is the best way for us to tailor the set to your needs. You can reach us at any time via email, live chat or telephone.

Iron set from 4 to GW

The standard set of the CB-301 goes from iron 5 to gap wedge and usually you are well advised to use it. Because nowadays only very few people play a 4 iron because driving irons and hybrids have became very playable. Normally you will be better advised from iron 5 up, unless you prefer a long iron with 22° loft in the bag - then add an iron 4. Some players will swap their long iron for a hybrid, depending on the weather and place. This is also a legitimate option for players with high demands.

Built-in shaft

The selected shaft is also very individual. Perhaps you already have an iron shaft with which you are satisfied. Otherwise we offer you all possibilities - except cheap shafts. You have to look for them at another dealer. Because in our opinion one destroys a very good iron with a cheap shaft. You will therefore only receive original shafts of the highest quality which we have been using for many years and only have satisfied customers.

For relatively low club head speeds and a high launch, the Shimada S-Lite, Nippon NS Pro 850GH or a Fujikura Vista are ideal. The latter are graphite shafts and a real option. There are now also tour players who rely on graphite shafts in irons. A lot has happened in this area and the Fujikura Vista offers similar good performance as steel shafts, but is extremely light and absorbs vibrations strongly.

For players with relatively high club head speeds, Nippon Modus 3 may be the best option currently available. It comes in four different weights. The special feature of Mode 3 is the bending profile which delivers a great feeling. Therefore the shaft feels much softer than the label might suggest. And that without sacrificing performance. Not for nothing this shaft is often played on the tour.

An alternative is the KBS Tour which we can also offer in different weights. If you have any questions or wishes please do not hesitate to contact us.

Selected shaft length

The length of the shaft is mainly determined by the body size. Before you start to shorten a shaft or order a longer one, you should always keep the swing weight in mind. Only a few clubmakers actually pay attention to this although it is so important. A shaft which is shortened by only a quarter inch changes the swing weight noticeably. So before you lightly order a different shaft length, please contact us for advice.

Lie

The beauty of the CB-301 is that you can bend it - theoretically - as often as you want. The lie can therefore be changed at any time. And this is also a big advantage compared to all other club heads where this is not possible without further ado. If you are interested in a CB-301, we assume that you are an advanced player. You should therefore know about the lie you need. If not, we will be happy to help you. It is not a problem to adjust the clubs afterwards though.

Grip selection and strength

As far as the grips are concerned, we can theoretically assemble whatever you want. On the right you will find an overview of the most common grips that we frequently use. If you have special wishes you only have to say it - we are happy to meet them.

About Miura

When you start to deal with Miura, you immediately notice that this is not a manufacturer like everyone else. The company history is unique and not much has changed in the way their irons are made. On the contrary to the competition, which has changed a lot in the last decades concerning the production process. Miura deliberately does not. You will never hear any marketing promises from Miura or that Miura now produces their irons with machines. Miura is and remains different and that's a good thing.

The difference starts with the steel that is used, which is particularly soft. There are also other manufacturers who use this steel and not only use industrial steel, but these differ from each other in the forging process. Miura cuts the steel parts to size, heats them to exactly the same temperature and then forges them at maximum pressure. This high pressure presses out even the smallest air bubbles that are created during heating. By eliminating these bubbles, the steel becomes more durable and cleaner. The result is an incredibly soft feeling at impact.

Miura has also patented the process of how the hosel is built in. If you forged the hosel in the same process as the clubface and the back of the head, it would not be possible to exert this high pressure. Most other manufacturers who forge their irons do the same. Therefore they cannot forge with the same pressure as Miura. Miura inserts the hosel later and this step is patented by the way.

The result is without any doubt absolutely unique. And that's why all Miura irons will always play in their own league. No other manufacturer takes on so much to achieve the best possible quality. And no other manufacturer remains as true to its principles and processes as Miura does. That's why Miura irons are always in demand and are something special.
