Miura announces mid-size cavity back CB-302 forged irons
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.
Miura CB-302: Specs, pricing
The CB-302 irons will be available in 4-GW. $350/head.

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.”
