wrong, his loft is 7.5 with a diamana whiteboard 83x flex. Can you please stop saying tiger plays miura irons without having any proof of this. tiger woods plays nike and only nike irons, not miura, mizzy or titleist irons with nike stamp, they are nike forged blades. i know this because thats what tiger says he plays, you find better information than that then you can continue to tell people what you think he plays. thanks

Sorry bout that. But yeah I totally agree with you at how everybody is saying "Miura this, Miura that". It's all a bunch of BS.

exactly, which is why he says they are nike forged. Where in fact, tiger has been playing miura forged blades ever since he switched over to titleist in the mid 90's. Tiger gets payed millions of dollars from nike, do you honestly think he wont do something they say that would get nike very mad? And also, of course a nike sales rep is going to tell you that he plays nike forged, half of those idiots dont even know aht they are talking about... and the other half are just trying to make some cash by telling white lies.

this debate will never die. even though there is no proof that Tiger uses Miura forged irons, and even though Tiger and his manager say they are forged at the same foundry all Nike irons are forged at. people will just believe what they believe, and we will probably never know the truth....

Yeah your right. Nike reps will lie, but Miura reps won't ever lie!

And for the record, I would believe Tiger's manager over a Miura rep. Like it has been said, sale's reps don't know any secrets of the company, let alone secrets about Tiger's clubs.

Now this is a rumor, and I have no proof. But I have read on a few different websites that his shaft is tipped 1". If that's true his shaft would be a WhiteBOARD!

miura forges alot of the pros irons, like retief goosen and sergio just to name a few. So having other companies forge the pros irons is very common.

And therein lies the rumors, they are caused by assumption.

Sergio and Retief are both TM staffers. Yes Stow, Sergio uses TM irons, and so does Retief. But up until a few years ago (2 or 3) TM used Miura to make their forged irons, RAC CB's, and so on. And you can bet your money that TM would keep that relationship with Miura for their staff players, even without offering it to the general public anymore.

In fairness I think the misunderstanding about Tigers irons comes from the fact they are forged by Endo (another Japanese forging company, similar to Miura) who also forge the rest of Nike's irons.

This is my understanding of it anyway, I could be mistaken but im 99% sure Miura have nothing to do with Tiger.

I don't think anyone who follows the tour and tour equipment at even a minimal level assumes that.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
