So I just got fitted the other day for new irons and am getting ready to place the order. Im a sophomore in highschool and am about a 5 handicap. My top 2 choices are the new Titleist CB's or the Miura CB-501. Do I spend the extra few hundred bucks for the Miura's or get the Titleists????? Thanks in advance...

Which Titleist CBs and Miuras are you looking at. Have you hit both?

Titleist CB 710 and Miura CB-501, yes i hit both and the fitter said either would be a good choice

I've only hit the CB 710, which I like quite a bit. What are you looking to gain over the mp57? The Miuras look to be a bit more cavity than the 710, more similar to your mp set?

the reason im replacing the mp 57's is because i've had them for three years and theyre basically worn out, also the shafts arent stiff enough, the miura's and the titleists seemed to be pretty similar to one another the cavity is just slightly bigger on the miuras

I'd say go with what feels better to you, hit a few with both again and if you're really stuck between the two choices, i say go with what feels more rewarding at impact.

If feel is similar and you don't need the potential added forgiveness, I'd take the extra money that the Titleist saves and be sure to fit them with the ideal shafts and grips for your game.

That's the BEST idea when you're torn between two sets.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
