Miura announces mid-size cavity back CB-302 forged irons

Published

on

Miura Golf today announced the new CB-302 iron, which is inspired by Shinei Miura’s vision to enable golfers of all skill levels to experience the benefits of a penetrating ball flight. To achieve this, Miura’s craftsmen challenged the limits of their forging process to develop a cavity-shaped iron with optimized weight distribution unique to each iron’s loft.

The CB-302 features the largest sole width of any forged iron ever produced at the Miura factory, offering optimal forgiveness for golfers of all levels.

The S20C soft carbon steel iron is designed to provide confidence at address, ensuring that the size, shape, and overall appearance of the clubhead work together seamlessly to deliver more control and performance.

“The CB-302 is a testament to the perseverance and skills of the Miura Craftsmen. Their attention to detail has enabled them to deliver an iron which balances forgiveness and performance at the highest level,” said Bill Holowaty, COO, Miura Golf. “This is an iron which will be enjoyed by golfers of all skill levels, including golf’s most advanced players.”

During the design phase, craftsmen paid attention to every detail, ensuring that no area of the clubhead was neglected, including the heel where the hosel meets the head. The Y grind sole with its unique camber, or curve of the sole, from the leading to the trailing edge of the clubhead, is a critical design element of the CB-302, according to Miura, in an effort to deliver improved performance regardless of a golfer’s swing trajectory.

The CB-302 irons will be available in 4-GW. $350/head.

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball

Published

on

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.

While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.

“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.

“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.

“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”

Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.

It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.
