When to buy irons such as Miura? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing Miura irons. WRXer ‘Twists’ has recently picked up golf, and asks members if the brand’s clubs “require a certain skill-level to play them well? (Or well enough not to slow down the game or get frustrated…)”. And our members have been having their say.

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.

Nessism: “There is nothing wrong with owning more than one set. Use your full on GI set for everyday play/practice and get the Miura’s to grow into and/or play just because. The type of iron one plays isn’t super important so long as the clubs fit them physically in terms of length and overall weight. The PP-9003 are my suggestion. They are midsized and offer some real help in terms of forgiveness, but they are Miura’s through and through with impeccable build quality and beauty. This model has been discontinued, so now is the time to grab them. Find yourself a clubmaker when you are ready and have them built up to your liking. I’ve got a set and count it as one of my better purchases.”
LeoLeo99: “Spotted my first ever sighting of Miura irons out in the wild last week. They were a cavity back model. Looked pretty nice. You can go with Miura or buy an older classic set and see if that type of iron appeals to you and your game. The older Hogan, Wilson, MacGregor, RAM, and other makes blades are plentiful and cheap in the used club market on eBay.”
theebdk: “Have you looked at the Miura IC-601? I am going for a fitting soon and will try these plus a few others. Looks like a blade but it is advertised as a game improvement iron. Be aware it is cast, has a thick top line and plenty of offset. I saw it in person at my fitter but have not tried it yet.”
Uncut: “Depends on your goals and how athletic you are. If you are the type that will put the time in required to improve your ball striking, then go for it. Do you have a decent swing with decent ball striking already when it comes to your irons? If you’ve got a reasonable starting point, then I say go for it. Set your expectations and work towards the goal. I went from playing some old cast Nike CCi irons to Srixon z585 to forged Miura TC-201. Not a blade, but still was a little intimidating for someone that routinely shoots in the low and mid-90s. I went from mild GI cavity back irons to an iron that is a players “tour cavity” back that requires some game. My biggest complaint with full GI irons is that you can’t hold firm greens as well (due to lack of spin), and less feeling of control. Distance is always good with GI irons, but sometimes you want a little more feel and control and ability to shape a creative shot. I have been playing tennis for about five years seriously, and I quickly advanced to the point where I needed a more players racquet with more “feel”. You can only go so far with a 110 sq inch racquet if you advance beyond a certain point and want to start learning new skills. I think golf is that way. Life is short, play the irons you want and put in the work you need to gel with them. It’s going to be frustrating at first, but expect it to possibly take years of work to game them to their full potential.”

TaylorMade MySpider Tour and Tour X: More customizable build options now available

TaylorMade Golf’s MySpider program underwent a substantial overhaul over the last month. Firstly, the company launched the option to customize the Spider ZT model, and now the program has returned with the MySpider Tour and MySpider Tour X.

The revamped page now gives golfers complete control over every visual and functional detail of their putter on the popular Tour and Tour X head, with every cosmetic idea thought of. In MySpider Tour, golfers can choose from four head finishes, 16 paint fill colors, nine Surlyn face insert colors, three aluminum insert options, six sightline configurations, and four hosel options — L-neck, small slant, double bend, center shaft. Six sightline options are available in MySpider Tour, including the optically engineered True Path alignment system. MySpider Tour X gives builders the option of four head finishes, four hosel configurations, and five sightline options, also including True Path alignment.

One of the more interesting features of the new MySpider program is the availability of three distinct face insert options. Along with the usual Surlyn Pure Roll insert trusted by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, which can be customized from nine colors, golfers can now also select firmer options. Two are offered with the black aluminum Pure Roll insert, slightly firmer than the traditional insert, or for the firmest feel, golfers can choose from two colors of milled aluminum inserts.

Another fun addition to the MySpider Tour is the ability to use the “Tommy Sightline.” The custom alignment aid design, which was first drawn onto Tommy Fleetwood’s putter by PGA Tour Rep James Holley, is based on the milled sightline on his Spider ZT head. There are five shorter lines on the left and right of a longer central line serving as the traditional short line alignment aid.
