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.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

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
