I appreciate your review of these irons. I was able to see them in person recently and while beautiful clubs…. They are in fact butter knife looking blades and I was perplexed at how they could possibly be for the range of handicaps Miura recommends. So that you for helping me not spend a fortune on irons I wouldn’t play even as a 5 Hcp.

They are beautiful but at $400 per stick they better wash my dog, cut my lawn, do my laundry, wipe my @&? And drop my handicap by 4 points. Otherwise no thanks!

Thanks, as always, for this review, Matt. Always good to get your perspectives on clubs that are, for any market reason, outside of the “Big OEMs”. Just by chance, I was at my club’s practice range late this summer when a buddy of mine started hitting balls next to me with a MIURA KM700 that he was testing as a DEMO from a 3rd party retailer. It was a 7 iron with a Fuji graphite Axiom stiff shaft. I play to about a 6-7 handicap and am not an elite ball striker by my own admission, but I “keep it in front of me.” The KM700s were the best feeling irons I have ever hit – maybe by a wide margin. Not as long as a GI Distance iron due to the lofts, of course, but I didn’t care. I was hitting off our mats (which are more forgiving), and I hated to give the club back to my buddy. Compression and trajectory were almost effortless, and I could have hit balls with that iron until my fingers bled. Alas, the Miura website reinforces that these clubs can only be ordered as a set of 4 or 5i – W. I don’t use a 5 or 6 iron, so at $400 per club (excluding a premium shaft) I will have to pass. It’s like wanting to take Jennifer Aniston out to dinner, but remembering that I lean toward McDonalds. Oh well. Again, thanks for the review, Matt.

Eric,

They are not on the content calendar currently, but we will reach out to Haywood about them.

*Update: I spoke with Haywood and they will not be sending out 100s for review because it’s a limited run product.

Best,

Matt

Stunning irons and solid review, been waiting for it. I have the BH icons and wondering if the feel difference is significant, I know the price is. Also, I’ve been drooling over the Haywood 100s, price and options put them way below the KM700’s and would like to know if you’ll be testing. Cheers

Thank you for this review.
I sold my other iron’s sets only to keep 2 sets of Miura, one is the 1957 baby blades and the other is cb1008. And I love them. The feel is excellent.

Other than Titleist T100, no other iron’s set could make me change irons.
Since the transition for distribution of Miura,, I think the approach for introducing new models of Miura changed not necessary for better.
As usually, you are always spot on with your reviews. I always like to read your clubs test reviews, mainly the section Sound, Feel and Performance.
Have a nice day,

In reply to David Frugtniet.

David,

The two irons are not particularly close as one is a forged blade and the other a hollow body. The 225 will be much more forgiving.

Best,

Matt

One reason why my MP2225 irons were going at a special lower price is that they are now a superseded model and were the last set available, at least in our area. Once again, they already had my usual shaft and grip fitted, Wow!

More expensive than my ongoing Mizuno range of irons, same cost as my Miura driving iron bent down to 13 degrees/steel shaft and beautiful!
I am completely satisfied, in love with my MP 225 Mizunos, etc., but any comparison here between mine and these would be read with great interest and my thanks to the author.
