Miura Goes Back To The Future

The new forged CB-501 irons from Vancouver-based Miura Golf feature a W nickel, satin chrome finish.

According to Bill Holowaty, vice president of operations for Miura Golf in North America, company founder Katsuhiro Miura had a goal of combining ideal ball flight, enough offset to promote playability, a perfect head size and a sole grind to accommodate a wide range of players.

“We obviously are excited about the CB-501 irons,” said Holowaty. “During development, Mr. Muira’s goal was to combine the best features from his favourite Miura irons, both past and present.”

Miura started with a full cavity back with a bit more offset than the company’s CB-202, which had almost none. He worked on a sole grind that would appeal to a wide range of skill levels. He also incorporated the sweet spot muscle back from the CB-1003 irons from 1996.

The small muscle back located behind the sweet spot is in place to deliver the trajectory of a blade when the ball is struck on the centre of the face, while offering cavity back forgiveness and ball flight as contact moves away from the centre of the face.
