Miura CB-301 Irons Review (FORGED Cavity Back Beauties)

Miura CB-301 irons are the longest cavity back model the manufacturer has produced, offering a blend of exceptional distance and forgiveness from a unique sole design.

With stronger lofts than Miura’s bladed irons, the CB-301 deliver eye-watering distance from every lie but a clever design element has ensured golfers of all handicap don’t have to sacrifice forgiveness.

Variable sole thickness through the iron set helps add to the forgiveness levels in addition to an enlarged sweet spot to make these forged irons an option for golfers of all skill levels.

We take a look at the design of the irons, how they can benefit both lower and mid-to-high handicap golfers and discuss whether they are worth the price tag.

What Miura says about the CB-301 Irons:

“Introducing the Miura Golf CB-301, the longest forged cavity-back iron Miura Golf has ever produced.

“The lofts on these golf irons are strong, much stronger than the blades. However, with a repositioned center of gravity, it is still entirely possible for golfers to get a high ball flight and enough spin to stop an iron shot on the green.

“The sweet spot is considerably larger than on the Miura blades. The good news is that even with this added forgiveness, the feel and forged iron capabilities are still in place.

“The sole on the CB-301 will vary from one iron to the next. As you move closer to the longer irons, the sole will be a bit thicker, promoting more forgiveness. The shorter irons have a thinner sole that provides more workability and a cleaner feel.”

Miura CB-301 Irons Specs & Design

Produced from Premium (S20C) Soft Carbon Steel with a Satin Chrome finish, the forged CB-301 irons are stunning visually and perform as good as they look.

These cavity back irons have stronger lofts that Miura’s blades and deliver long distance as a result – in fact they are the longest CB irons they have produced.

The CB-301 irons still deliver a towering ball flight, despite the strong lofts, and offer plenty of stopping power on the greens thanks to the soft and responsive feel.

There is plenty of forgiveness available from the cavity back irons thanks to an enlarged sweet spot, making them an option for golfers of all handicap levels and not just the better players.

Miura have opted for a unique design element with variable sole thickness. They are wider in the longer irons and thinner in the shorter irons to help add to the forgiveness levels.

The Miura CB-301 irons also have a slight offset for a clean and unfussy look at address.

The CB-301 irons are sold in eight standard lofts of 4-iron (22 degrees), 5-iron (25 degrees), 6-iron (28 degrees), 7-iron (32 degrees), 8-iron (36 degrees), 9-iron (40 degrees), Pitching Wedge (44 degrees) and Gap Wedge (48 degrees).

Verdict: Are Miura CB-301 Irons any good?

The CB-301 irons are designed to provide a balance of feel, precision, distance, and forgiveness – and boy do they deliver it.

While they may not have the same level of feel as other Miura irons, particularly the forged blade, they are much more suited to a wider range of handicap golfers.

The forgiveness available makes them ideal for mid-to-high handicappers as well as lower handicap golfers who struggle for consistency with their irons. The large sweet spot and sole design can really help improve your ball striking.
