Getting fit for Miura irons today......

[Lemay427]

I am nervous and exicted at the same time. I have been playing Mizunos for the past few years and looking forward to trying Miura. I will be going with the 202 irons in 3 through 5 iron and the Tournament blade in 6 - PW. These clubs have a chrome satin finish.

I will most likely be going with project x shafts but will let the club fitter do the calcs to see if that is what I need.

I will post later and let you know how the fitting goes.

Mind if I also ask: * What does Miura do for fitting? * How much does it cost? * How much are the clubs? Also, let us know your thoughts on the differences of your Mizunos and Miuras. I may have to consider Miura in a few years when I get my next set.

Great man, I am sure you will become a scratch player with those new clubs. Probably make your cock bigger too!

Nice set of clubs. Congrats. I just picked up a Miura wedge and couldn't be happier. For me its a real toss up between scratch and miura. I'll be interested to hear how they work out for you.

Scratch is a goal of mine. Not sure if new irons will do the trick. I doubt they will, I'll probably have to buy a $2,000 scotty cameron to do that.

Mind if I also ask:

Miura doesnt do anything for fitting. I went to a guy that fits clubs. He basically made up a 6 iron in almost all the shafts offered (DG, Project X, KB) and then changed the lie for each iron/shaft combo for my to test on the launch monitor and with tape on face.

As far as cost. It was around $1250 with DG shafts. With PX shafts (which I went with) and golf pride dual compound it was $1500 out the door. The difference I found on the range was that the Miuras felt softer when hit perfect. I liked the feel. Also the finish is what I wanted. I dont like how the Mizunos have a shiny chrome on the sides on the face. I was going to have my Mizunos refinished but after seeing it was going to cost $500 at the iron factory to have that done, it made more sense to purchase new rather than refurbish 3 year old irons. The price is a little excessive but golf is my only hobby and if these last me 3 years ill pay $500 a year to play the irons. I used to ride motocross and golf is way cheaper!!

Sorry, but how old are you?

[Williamevanl]

^How old are you?

Btw, I'm also in Des Moines, what courses are you playing?

[pshizz]

Sorry, but how old are you?

lighten up guys, its a joke!

I am 16 years old. How about yourself?

^How old are you?

18, college freshman. I usually play Deer Run in Indianola, and in HS we played Rolling Hills in Norwalk every day. This year so far I've been out to Deer Run, Rolling Hills, and Grandview. I'll be hitting Toad Valley a week from today, they're running a promo all day, Free 18 holes if you buy a cart, so I'm able to pay the $2 trail fee on a family friend's cart and play.

I'd like to hit quite a few different places this year. I should hear back from the pro at DMGCC this week on working part time in outside services, which means free golf mondays... I also hope to hit either TCI or Harvester once as well. Where do you usually play?

I played the legacy in norwalk this year the first day they were open, I tried to walk the whole course and it nearly killed me. They should really warn people. I just graduated from I.S.U so I played 90% at veenker while in college. This year I have been playing jester and grandview. I live pretty close to woodland but I haven't got a chance to play it yet. I did play the tournament of Iowa at the end of last year. I felt like I was in a different state because I have never seen a course like that, It's pretty amazing. I have mostly just been hitting jumbo buckets at the des moines driving range to warm up for the upcoming season but I plan on playing this friday. Any suggestions?

Deer Run has a great deal, before 9 AM it's 18 for 18 and a cart per person, so a buddy and I hit that before class once a week. I enjoy the course, its challenging enough for our handicap level, but still very playable. I played GV this past thursday morning, were you there?

[Williamevanl]

Nope, not last thursday. Grandview is deceivingly difficult. It seems like such an easy short course but they make up for it with fast greens and wierd pin placements. Last time I played I came up just a little short on the par 4 dog leg right over the tree, I hit the flag stick with the eagle chip and three putted from four feet

My friend and I couldn't believe how many three putts we had throughout the day. We were calling it a par curse because even though we kept getting gir's we couldn't make any putts.

Ok, there was someone in an ISU windbreaker that looked to be about your age who played through us thursday.

It was a bit of a mess. Greens were in pretty bad shape, one was just plain cut up. I liked the course though. On the par 5 i pushed it over on the other side of that fence to the right of the fairway. That was an adventure. It was also spitting rain/sleet then the sprinklers soaked us the whole back nine. On the first par 3 both me and my buddy pulled one onto the street and bounced it onto somebody's house... I started out 1 over for the first 5 holes and felt great, then kinda fell apart. I'll be back a few times, cant beat the student discount. I'd defiantly say hit up Deer Run, though. If you're interested pm me sometime and we could get together for a round somewhere. I'm actually making my decision right now whether I'm transferring to Iowa or the enemy (isu ) this fall.
