I bought my i10s for cost, and they've served as a great game improvement iron. I know my handicap is 10, but i can consistantly shoot in the high 70s and low 80s and my ball striking is good. Are Miura irons worth the money, there were rumors that Miura was making Tiger's Irons until 2003, and they stamping them with a swoosh. Any thoughts on the irons. I was thinking of getting the tournament blades.

I haven't played them, but if I were to get a second set of irons, they would be the ones I would go with. They are absolutely gorgeous. I love the look of a true muscle-back blade. I actually heard a rumor that Tiger was using Mizuno irons stamped with Titleist when he first turned pro.

Yeah I always heard he was using MP14 and MP29s as a combo set. And that Titleist made a set to these same specs for him. And later Nike did about the same.

There is one guy at my course playing Miura, and he is a rich, spoiled...well I'll stop there. Seems like conspicuous consumtion to the max. But truely you have to have the right tool for any job, and these are some quality tools.

I played the miura tournament blades before. It feels pretty soft and lets you work the ball well. When hit right it feels like butter. When hit wrong though IT BITES like what all other blades do. Since you strike the ball good I say buy the miura irons which are alittle more expensive but worth it

Some other club manufactures that forged good is kzg golf and scratch golf. Kzg is on the more affordable side (about 600) Scratch can cost u up to 2000!

If you like the feel of Mizuno you will like Miura's. They also forge samari swords so that should give you an idea of their quality. Pretty spendy, but you get what you pay for.

Despite how beautifully forged they are and how great they feel, I can't help but think that at your level your not going to get the most from Miuras, as has been previously recommended KZG and Scratch golf provide very good golf clubs.

In terms of value for money I would go Snake Eyes or something similar, In my opinion Miuras are too expensive for an amateur and will not be worth the money.

2nd that. I've demo'd their clubs b4 and let me tell you, they truly perform and inspire confidence (for me anyway). They would be in my bag if this whole "money" thing didn't come into play.

the tournament blades are AWESOME. I was fortunate enough to have been able to play a round with them. The feeling that I got out of those blades were so much better than the mizuno line..but then again you're comparing a blade to a cut muscle mid cavity. BUT they hurt on mishits..i mean hurt. ball striking with a cavity back is much different than a blade or even a 1/2 cb iron like the mp60. BUT once you hit them and groove your swing to it, I'm sure that you'll be cool. be prepared to lose more than 10-15 yards on a mishit..especially with the longer irons....you gotta have a sweet stroke to pure the 3,4 & sometimes even 5 iron in their tournament blade edition..but the clubs are awesome.

    • Better late than never.  I got The Stack System over 2 years ago.  Problems with ruptured tendon and bone-on-bone knee stopped me from using it.  Foot was a year to full recovery.  Had the knee done in January.  This weekend was first full swings in quite a while, With spring here (at least according to the calendar) I’m finally going to do the program.  It’s 32 degrees with flurries tonight so I’m not sure exactly when I will start but should be soon.  
    • Day 29  (6 Apr 26) - Snuck  a few balls with the 6i while waiting for the local school tournament golf match to start.  Worked on tempo - starting with 1/2 swings working to full while working the ball slightly from side to side. 
    • Day 230 4-6 worked on wrist arching in downswing and hips. Going slooow today. Hit foam balls.

    • Erik J. Barzeski (@iacas) • Instagram reel 1 likes, 0 comments - iacas on April 6, 2026: "The LM1 from @shot_scope is a $200 launch monitor with a great display and extreme portability. Since 98% of a ball's distance inside of about 150 yards is determined... The ShotScope LM1 is a $200 launch monitor that made waves last fall and at the PGA Show in January. Think of it like the PRGR or the Stack radar, but in a different form factor and with a better display. It's also got a rechargeable battery (no messing around with AA or AAA batteries), and a bigger, brighter, multi-color screen over the greyscale LCD on those units. I believe it still uses the same algorithms to "guess" at the distance given the club you've chosen, assuming a relatively moderate launch angle. I do not believe it measures your "VLA" (vertical launch angle). As we know from Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, ball speed for shots 150 yards and shorter accounts for about 98% of the distance the ball travels, assuming you didn't blade the bejeezus out of it, so the LM1 can, like other simple launch monitors, really help you dial in your distance wedges. I don't think ShotScope is honoring discount codes yet (you're free to try clicking the link and using the codes in the sidebar here at TST), and it's sold out for now anyway. But, you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. I'll update this thread as I continue to test the unit, but so far I really like: Ease of setup and use. The quality, brightness, and colors of the display. Battery life seems adequate. I'm not sure about five hours, but… it'll last well over a full session. The battery charges quickly and with a standard USB-C cable. I had some difficulties inside when players were hitting drivers into a net 13 or 14 feet away. Many swings reported 35 MPH, or 38, or 32. My hunch was that it was seeing the speed the screen moved, perhaps, as we tried a number of configurations. It was a solid screen, not a net, and later testing to an archery net that was 35 feet away yielded consistent and reasonable numbers every time.
