New Miura CB-301 irons feature the largest sweet spot in company history
Miura Golf has announced the launch of their newest line of cavity back irons, the Miura CB-301.
Hand-forged in Miura’s Himeji, Japan factory, the company claims that the Miura CB-301 is the longest forged cavity back iron that they have yet to produce.
Speaking on the new additions, Hoyt McGarity, President of Miura Golf, stated
“We are excited to bring a new level of distance and performance to Miura Golf. With the CB-301, we’ve created the finest forged cavity back in Miura’s history.”
The new irons from Miura feature a greater offset and larger sweet spot than previous additions, for improved accuracy and distance on shots, and aims to offer golfers an iron with the feel and playability of a players iron, with the forgiveness and distance to improve golfers of all levels.
Each club features a variable sole and cavity thickness which aims to optimize the center of gravity. Through this optimization of the COG, the CB-301 aims to deliver more forgiveness while maintaining excellent feel on all shots.
Earlier this month, World Number 57 Abraham Ancer notified his followers on social media that he would be gaming Miura’s new CB-301 irons, submitting this post on Instagram.
Until now, the company had not produced a fully forged cavity back since 2011, and speaking concerning the new CB-301, Jason Rutkoski, executive vice president of Miura Golf said
“We set out to design a golf club that could be enjoyed by golfers of all skill levels. The CB-301 takes the most innovative design elements of our traditional models and blends them with modern techniques, resulting in the longest iron we’ve ever produced.”
The new CB-301 comes plated in nickel chrome with a satin finish and is available to purchase now from MiuraGolf.com. Prices start from $1,960 per set, and you have the opportunity to choose the head, shaft and grip of your choice through Miura’s custom club e-commerce service.

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.
This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.
Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.

More forgiving than the neo genesis 9005?

Saw them yesterday, looked good but not a way Miura has historically gone in terms of offset, jacked lofts, wider soles.
Also, the article says its their first forged CB since 2011, well, what do they call the CB57 model from just a coupe of years ago?

I have them all! The 202 is my favorite. No offset, razor thin top line, and narrow sole. Dam near impossible to find a set with conforming grooves . The next *uckstick that complains about the spin weld hosel is going to get strangled by my hand going through their computer screen. Without the hosel, the club sets deeper in the dye and the final strike is delivered with much more force allowing the grain structure to be even tighter. Most of you morons still don’t know the difference between SL and circle K either.

Miura is no longer Miura. Not sure if Miura buyers are looking for forgiveness. Their older stuff was way better.

These look incredible. I’m not sure about a 44-degree PW for these, but whatever. I guess they are easy to bend.
Lofts for 4-PW are 22º 25º 28º 32º 36º 40º 44º
