How do these two compare for feel and forgiveness. I only ask because of the reputed ease and forgiveness of the MB 5003 which may it the logical choice over the CB 2006?

Actually the MB-5003 just happens to be much more forgiving than anyone ever expected. The MB-5003 is considered by Miura Giken as a pro-spec model geared towards scratch golfers while the CB-2006 is a standard model aimed at low to even good ball striking mid cappers. The CB-2006 is not as compact as the MB-5003 and with it's cavity "should" technically be more forgiving, it does have slightly more offset as well. Feel wise the CB-2006 uses the same steel and forging process of course has a different design. We still need to test them out and see how they feel.

What is the grind like on the irons? For diggers or pickers?

Number of downloads: 1T, I should be able to give you a Review of the CB2006 by Friday at the latest as my set of CB2006's should hit here any time now. I am excited to put these puppies to the test...launch monitor, distance and carry, feel and above all dispersion, then on to the course (if the weather holds, Sic) for a playing condition shakedown.

Goodsie Thanks Goodsie. as always I look forward to your feedback. I have a feeling these will have that Miura feel coupled with forgiveness. Let us know how it goes! |

I note that, as with all Miura models, the 2006 comes in both steel fit and carbon fit which is slightly heavier. Would carbon fit heads be offered at the proshop as well selected as graphite shafts option? This post has been edited by Duffer19: Sep 29 2008, 07:46 PM |

They are available in steel at the moment only. I'm waiting to get the price on black carbon heads then they will be added. (^_^)

T, FYI. The CB2006 heads that I received have misbored hosels. They average .342 which, as you might guess, is a far cry from the .355 Tapered. I have already sent a strongly worded email to Miura about this. The hosels must be rebored for these CB2006 heads to be usable. I am angry that Miura could make such a glaring mistake. Miura advertises that the CB2006 is made in Japan, but with this mistake, it makes you wonder!! Goodsie This post has been edited by Goodsie: Sep 30 2008, 10:42 AM |

On the Spec sheet on the original listing, when you posted and announced the intro of the CB2006, it clearly states that the hosel is 9.1(9.3) which is .355 (H). Mirua then doesn't bore to that Spec? Is that what you are saying? |

Mirua then doesn't bore to that Spec? Is that what you are saying? I sure feel that way. I have checked about 5-6 sets of heads and all of them are way to tight of a squeeze down the hosel. |
