Miura seems to be almost a hidden secret to some people.  I have personally talked to lots of people including some very experienced golfers who have never heard of Miura before. So I would love to hear where people heard about Miura? And what made you decide to try or go with Miura clubs in your bag?

It was late '90s, I was on a golf board and heard about them. One of the sponsors carried Miura and finally, I asked about them. They were not completely outrageous at the time in terms of price, still are not when you get a custom setup, but the first set was CB201 with Nippon 1050 S.

If I hadn't run into Miura on golf forums, I probably would not have heard about them.

Thats interesting. I ended up learning about Miura from google haha. Once I was in the market for new clubs I decided to start researching different brands & learning the differences between club styles and makes. Forged vs Cast. Blade vs Cavity and so on. Finally I went  to a couple different club fitters to try different brands out and fell in love with Miura. I mainly tried the Miura Passing Point and Tournament blades. Both very nice clubs and I was torn. I was actually hitting the Tournament blades pretty good. Then the Limited Black Blades became available and that made my mind up for me. And for those of you who aren't familiar with the Black Blades, its the same as the Miura Tournament Blades with a different finish.

Clubfitter in San Antonio named Andy Rubin. Probably one of the best I have ever met with fitting with computer assistance. Andy told me about the Clubs. Stated he had pure respect for the manufacturer and the desire to put a fine club on the market. After hitting them for a while they give a true response to the swing. Could not be happier with this selection.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
