Forum Thread of the Day: “Favorite Miura irons?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from theothertwo who created a discussion on Miura irons. Theothertwo asked fellow members which set of Miura irons are their favorite and why, and our members have been sharing their experiences using different models from the brand.
Here are a few posts from the thread but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- cflo2382: “I wouldn’t consider myself an expert as I just started bagging Miura this year, but I really like the MC-501s that I am playing. They look incredible, feel fantastic, and perform wonderfully. I have a backup set of the CB-57 2i-PW which are also excellent. However, I think my favorite (just by looks alone) are the 1957 Baby Blades. I’ve heard about these for years and saw them in person for the first time a few months ago.. AND now I’m currently trying to hunt down a set for myself.”
- kizdoc: “Love my custom Miura Giken MB 5003 as well as my BBs.”
- NYCGolfNut: “Have owned a set of Miura BBs, and on good strikes, there was really nothing better. Gorgeous looks and feel. But they were a little too much to play regularly if you don’t put in the practice and work.”
- raynorfan1: “Small blades. I also really like the CB202 in the long irons (2/3/4).”
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Gianni-
Don’t have a favorite Miura iron.
Would like to, but those Miura iron models
CB 57, MC-501, even the irons in the photo are- and according to Miura will always be- RH Only.
You’re asking me to compare the LH CB 801 iron model to ALL their RH choices.
Really?

I don’t have a favorite because I can’t afford them.

I like the ones I didn’t buy, because they are all marketing puff.
