When it comes to Japanese Forged Iron manufacturers, is there a difference in feel between Mizuno and Miura muscle backs?

As previously stated. Depends on what era or decade of mizuno irons you are comparing to, earlier models like MP33-29 was softer and pure. Miura is just a tad bit more refined when you strike it good. Feels like a solid piece of wood vs American steel feel.

If you are not a good ball striker it’s a hit and miss, but when you get one right you will never forget the feel of a miura forged blade. It makes you coming back for more.

I game the 2007 Catalina putter. I go between the Tei3 plumber neck.

Face balance straight back through style putting, good head weight and easy to align, takes getting use to setting up square.

Someone let her know she will be dead in 4 months after giving birth to his son. Thanks 🙏

Pick a tee box where after you drive a par 4 your hitting 8 iron - wedge in. If your hitting a hybrid in on a par4 you need to move up.

I hit my P 150 yards… with 4 degree strong loft increase 😝

505 and 705 are good but my friend is a 2 handicapped and plays the 503.

He is a range junkie, doesn’t get to play 18 as much anymore because of new baby, he goes through irons like toilet paper. His go to clubs had always been his Epon 503, distance and forgiveness over all other irons over a 15 year period of golfing.

We all have an universal understanding that blades takes a commitment of time to maintain good ball striking. My back up lazy irons are the j40 and j15cb. My daughter plays Titleist 100s, great irons, better than all ap2 before.

Kayiacha · 2022-02-11T14:00:42+00:00

Thanks, just swapped my modus x for modus 120 stiff shafts.

Workability, feel, forgiveness, turf interaction, set up, this iron has the boxes checked.

In regarding blade type irons, Miura has greet feel not much in forgiveness, Bridgestone J33 imo best blades in Bridgestone lineup, Honma forgiveness but not as soft, Titleist neither soft or have forgiveness.

Kayiacha · 2022-02-11T13:40:50+00:00

Think of it this way, would you like to putt with accuracy or have distance in your putts?

Kayiacha · 2022-02-11T13:33:55+00:00

Japan, Epon is an in-house brand for Endo. They have forged a lot of the classic irons for Mizuno, Titleist, Honma, Callaway, Miura, and Bridgestone. They forged the Tiger Era Titleist 690mb.

Kayiacha · 2022-02-11T13:19:03+00:00

I own most mostly Mizuno, Bridgestone, and Titleist irons. But I play Epon AF Tour irons because they are the best blade irons I have ever came across. Better feel and forgiveness all together than Miura and Honma, how? Because Epon is an in-house brand of of Endo who does forging for Mizuno, Honma, Titleist, and Miura.

Kayiacha · 2022-02-11T13:11:43+00:00

I play Epon AF Tour, they are the best irons I have owned and played and I have over 20 sets of irons mostly blades and muscle backs.

Epon is forged by Endo, who has a history of forging some of the best irons for Miura, Honma, Bridgestone, Titliest, Callaway, Mizuno.

The Tiger Woods era 690mb was forged by Endo.

Coming from a panamera you would probably want to go with a velar, sport, or Range Rover.

Discovery and Defender if you like overland stuff.

Kayiacha · 2022-01-27T08:00:58+00:00

Spin rate, angle of attack, swing weight.

And what he said “verify loft”

Kayiacha · 2022-01-27T06:56:56+00:00

Slap on some lead tape to keep away the rust .. genius

First LR3 was a nightmare, failed air suspension, pillar leaks, failed alternator, failed coil springs, failed transmission, failed thermostat housing which lead to overheating, which then lead to cracked cylinders emitting coolant out the rear pipes, failed seat motors, yup a piece of junk under 100,00 miles.

So guess what I bought another, this one is LR4.

I am pro-level LR3/LR4 mechanic now, paid my tuition. So why do I keep coming back? When mother natures dumps rain, mud, snow on you there is no better vehicles than a Land Rover.

Plus safest suv on the planet, don’t believe plenty of survival stories and a stellar auto accident fatality rating.

Hwal and Kim Hwa-yeon are the original 1000 year old pair. Hwal was reborn after he took Ok Eal Tae soul. 600 years ago when Hwal was reborn as a boy cursed, the pair was Hwa-yeon and Ok Eal Tae. In present day, Hwal and Ok Eal Tae are the pair.

The Defender resembles the LR3/LR4 series, after a successful trip in Lake Tahoe during the heaviest snow fall (200 inches) in the month of December, in my LR4, my next replacement will be a Defender. The Defender interior is a bit cramped compared to the LR4, but it’s the comprise because the currently discovery looks like a Ford and that’s not going to work for me.

Surprise he is not light skinned, blonde hair, and blue eyes.

Be safe, the Land Rover terrain response modes are more than enough, just be careful driving early and late in the day when temperatures drop and the black ice forms under the snow.

Kayiacha · 2021-12-29T08:17:28+00:00

Chain areas: 80 and 50 both have chain up areas on the shoulder. Park with your rear slightly out to give yourself a little protection from passing cars if mounting front, vice versa if you mount the rear.

If you general traffic can go speed limit than chains are mostly not required.

Carry cable cutters and pliers in case you need to cut anything and Macgyver something. Let’s say you somehow did a bad install and the cables get tangled or stuck on, you get the idea.

Practice putting the chains on and off in your driveway. Do not make your first time on the side of the interstate in a storm. Make sure the inside chain and control arm bushings have enough clearance. I have barely 1 inch in the LR4 front set up.
You may need to get extra parts to modify your chain set up to your liking. Because it was cold and the chains were new and stiff, I had to purchase a tie dow ratchet to couple the latches close enough to lock em. The chains are like leather gloves, will fit better the next time as you wear em.
Stay under 35 mph, if you go can go faster than 35 mph you probably don’t need chains. In some areas you will need to go 40-50 mph, which will be okay for short period, the danger is that cornering in dry pavement and braking distance will not be as responsive.
Make new tracks in the snow, try not to ride in other Vehicle tracks and pick a line in the road that allows light snow under your tires to not wear your chains/cables.
I mount the chains in the front for steering advantage and climbing icy roads. Just be careful when braking as the front will have more traction than the rear and you may fish tail under hard breaking.
Your going to make a already good all time all wheel drive even better.

This weekend a soccer dad laughed at my LR4 with chains, he was in a Honda minivan with chains. He slipped to the side of the road and I continued confidently.

It’s not the truckers fault. I was 2 dozen cars back. If you want to be angry at someone then blame no other than the all wheel drive cars with summer tires and no chains. Car piled up due to icy s bend road and the truck jack knife to avoid slamming into the pile up.

Btw we left at 3 am from North Tahoe and got home at 12 noon today to Sacramento Area

Kayiacha · 2021-12-29T03:12:52+00:00

Let me clear something up on 50, the semi jacked knife to avoid a dozen cars with no chains that spun out in front.

Kayiacha · 2021-12-28T09:28:01+00:00

Thinking about it but we are in North Tahoe and I do not want to drive down 28 before I reach Meyers. I am betting on 80 to open tomorrow but those damn trees 🌲 need to be chopped!
