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.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
