there's not much you can do with a blade, in the end, the blade won't offer you any forgiveness. but as far as blades go, the Miura line, TE or 5003, they are premium, high end, ultimate sticks.

Jacksonsonlui is on the money these heads are the premium heads and you can not go wrong with either of them. Being a blade forgiveness should not be expected. One thing you will need to do if you can, although I am stating the obvious, is to find the right shaft that fits your game. I for example it took me three very good sets of shaft ( Nippon, KB Tour, PX Satin) to settle down with the PX satin. All three shaft are very good but the ball flight was too high for my liking with the Nippon and KB Tour. So once you find the right shaft then it is rockn'roll baby!

I'm selling a single MB-5003 6 iron for $75 right now if you want to get a feel for it before you put down $1200 for the set.

thanx for the offer but i'm still in research stage at this point trying to narrow it down between different brands and models and was simply curious what is what in Miura product lines coz it seems quite complicated with their separate int/japan product lines.

I had the limited edition US blades and now i have the MB-5003s (Japan). In my opinion, which is usually right (ha), the MB-5003 is a better and more solid feeling, more forgiving iron. And it's not in my head. I assure you.

Mr. D, I assure you that its the same material and process. What your feeling is due to the overall/sole design, grind, and loft not the material.

With most of their MB's they are adjusting the same mold and in many cases using existing molds and changing the grinds.

In regards to Miuraism, The tolerance is no better than normal Miura product which is great. They use spin welded hosels which allows them to cut on mold costs using 2D instead of 3D. In the end design consistency is below average BUT it gives them the ability to zero in on exact weights and tolerance. Also Miuraism is supposed to be fitted in person by a Miura rep which isn't always the procedure as we can allocate the heads without the fitting.

Have you got a list of brands that use 3D instead of 2D?

The brands that use spin welded hosels for their product are able to produce the head mold in 2D flat.

Currently only TADA mfg sells spin welded hosel raw blanks in Japan. Miura uses spin welded for their entire product line, I know Scratch Golf used or uses it for their wedges.

Thank you. Does Epon produce their 302's in mold 3D? I have read here somewhere that this is the more pricey way.

Fair enough I guess. Like someone said earlier, you can't go wrong with any of their stuff.
By the way Chris, your picture you have under where you write is awesome!! Love it.
