  1. Hckymeyer you are correct I went back to the fitter I can’t feel the club head in the back swing and down went to a little heavier shaft. Aerotech 115 they don’t feel a lot heavier but I can feel that head way more. The shots are back to normal thanks for saying that I went there and told him that might be the problem. You learn something new to light of shaft causes lose of feel. Thanks for everyone who commented.
  2. I have been playing Miura KM700 irons with an Aerotech 95 cw stiff shaft this last year they feel great love the overall weight of the clubs. In my great thinking I thought I would get something a little more forgiving I went and got fitted for Titleist T150 I went with the same shaft I been hitting for years the Aerotech 95. But now with the T150 I lost my ball striking and distance and consistency. Is it the shaft to light? I was told that the Miura heads are heavier up to 10 grams I don’t know if that’s true. But hitting off a mat loved the T 150 off grass super inconsistent. Any ideas love to hear thanks for your time.
  3. I have a major complaint about Miura and there products I just would like hear anybody's else opinion on my complaint. The reason I believe you shouldn't buy Miura irons is the don't have any resale value. I have 2 sets of Miura irons so i thought I would sale one I have a set of TC 201s with custom ferrules and Aerotech Shafts on them, I paid 2400 for them if i bought from Miura it would be 2800. They are near mint played 3 rounds on them. I go to the local golf shop to see trade in they offer me $328. I was shocked but he went to show me 3 trade in websites of the value they buy them. On Ebay going for anywhere from 1000-2000. They are great irons but they cost alot of money to not have any value after pull them out of the box is a bummer. When last years Stealth HD irons have a better resale value something is wrong. Thanks for any comments.
  4. I really like the Baldo heads I am looking a head that is made with quality and the face is made with quality metal. Do you know what the shallow model and the deep model mean? I really like to hit the ball high and straight I really don’t like draw bias. The Baldo Competizione 568 Driver looks amazing. Do you know anything about it. I don’t swing super fast I hit the ball like 260-270 with carry at 250 but I was hoping that with the higher end metal in the face I would get more distance. Any knowledge would be awesome. Thanks for your time.
  5. I am really wanting to get a new driver soon. Does anybody play a Japanese brand driver? Did you get fitted for one or if you couldn’t get fit how did you decide on what to buy? I have bought a lot of iron sets from Tour Spec Golf and I just used the shafts I was fitted for in the past and had them bent to the lie and length to what I like. I say that is that what I am going to probably have to do with the driver also? Any information you have or could be given would be awesome. I really enjoy Japanese irons and I hope their Drivers are just as nice. Thanks for the comments.
  6. I was fitted for 5 degree loft separations Miura PW 45 Miura Tour Milled High Loft 50,56,62 best ever gapping allows for a lot of different shots
  7. I have been against Taylormade Drivers for quite awhile since the R1 I haven't given Taylormade a chance love there P-series irons. Well to get to the point I got fitted for a driver and that is the one that the fitter said fit me best by 7 yards on average it was longer but not as constistant as the Titleist TSR3 which is super consistant. I just dont know anyone hitting one please let me know how you feel. Thanks.
  8. Thank you for your response I am going to wait I hope it’s not his last set. The seven iron I got to hit was unbelievable. I wish for one thing from Miura I wish the would come out with Baby Blades again. Thanks again for your comments.
  9. You are correct it’s a company to company problem. I got fitted for Srixon when the first can out. Got them in 6 days I think that’s part of my problem how can one company be so quick even my driver and fairway woods from Titleist came in 8 days. I also work is the material world buying for China Japan and other Asian countries I just don’t have problems getting product. So it leaves me to believe Miura has a work force problem which most of the country is struggling with.
  10. PGA tour was going to be exposed on something in court. Or something like that I believe that is what really was the change of heart. Plus now the PGA will be flush with cash they can now do whatever they want now. But this kinda stinks I hate the unknown. Hopefully they make great decisions, and now there are more events all over the world, and in places in the United States, that everybody can go see them.
  11. What makes me wish I never got them is it’s a lot of money yes I hit them so well in the fitting. I think with the wait time and not knowing when I am going to get them is driving me a little crazy. I chose the KM700 because of the the forgiveness was a little better then the rest but they only had the the 7 iron. I think I wish I would have known that late June when I called to buy them to now July possible August golf season will almost be over Idaho gets cold quick. I thought they looked amazing. I just feel paying 470.00 a club with the an upgraded shaft. Plus I bought 3 wedges with it. They should be able to tell you when those clubs will be here. Not continually moving the date out. So I just wonder if I made a mistake maybe I should just got another model or another company. Or I guess I need to have patience. Thank you for responding.
  12. I would just to hear the opinions of the golf world. Are Miura irons and wedges worth the price and the wait? The reason I bring this up is I wish I never bought anything from them. I don’t dare cancel they say there is 30% restocking fee on clubs they don’t have yet. They just try to get off the phone with you they never have any answers and don’t you dare email them that will never be answered. I just don’t feel for the price they charge. This better then any club out there, then to have by far the worse customer service out there I have ever seen. Titleist used to hold that spot but they at least give you answers. Thanks for letting me know your opinion.
  13. Here is the answers to the questions How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I have been playing golf since I was 7 off and on. My handicap is a 12 What do you love about golf? I love golf for the challenge and competitiveness. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I like MyGolfSpy for a the new release articles and the Japanese Market forum. I don't know any other spies. Where are you from? What is your home course? I am from Nampa Idaho I play most at Redhawk. What do you do for a living? I am a purchasing Manager How’d you pick your username? No not reallt
  14. I am wondering has anyone heard of any new iron coming in 2023?
  15. Does anybody know what type of steel they used when forging the JBeam BM-T501 irons?
