MI
Miura builds irons the way a small forge in Himeji, Japan has done it for decades: shape the head from soft carbon steel, then let skilled hands finish it. The CB-301 is the cavity back in that lineup, made for players who want the feel of a forged blade with a bit more room to miss. It sits in the players cavity category, which is a polite way of saying it rewards good ball strikers and stays honest with the ones who catch it thin.
Look at the loft chart and something refreshing shows up. The 7-iron is 34 degrees. The pitching wedge is 48. Those are traditional numbers, not the jacked-up lofts most brands use to fake extra yards. A 34-degree 7-iron flies the distance a 7-iron should fly, with enough loft to hold a green instead of skidding off the back. If you've played a set where the short irons feel oddly strong and the gaps go weird around the wedges, this is the opposite philosophy.
You give up some forgiveness for that honesty. The CB-301 has a compact head, a thin topline, and very little offset, so a miss off the toe or heel gives you clear feedback instead of hiding it. Catch it flush and the payoff is a dense, soft strike that tells you exactly where the ball came off the face. This is an iron for feel and control, not one that props up an inconsistent swing.
要点
The Miura CB-301 (2019) is a players cavity that adds forgiveness without much extra size. The set runs 3-iron to PW with a 34° 7-iron. It carries a $2,295 MSRP.

About the Miura CB-301
The head is grain-flow forged from soft carbon steel, the process Miura built its name on, and hand-finished before it ships. That forging is where the soft, muted feel at impact comes from. The cavity back pulls mass off the center of the face and moves it toward the perimeter, which widens the usable part of the face a touch compared to a true muscleback while keeping the compact look at address. Vibration dampening behind the face takes the sting out of slight mishits, so a strike off the toe still feels solid rather than harsh in the hands. The shaping stays true to the players category: narrow from heel to toe, a topline that reads thin over the ball, and offset kept to a minimum for players who like to see the leading edge and work the flight. Nothing about the profile tries to disguise what it is.
ロフト分析
The Miura CB-301's 7-iron is lofted at 34° - traditional - aligned with classic iron loft standards. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 136-146 yards. The 5-iron (27°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 48° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.
Who Should Play the Miura CB-301?
- ✓Single-digit and low-teens handicaps who strike the ball cleanly and want forged carbon-steel feel without stepping all the way down to a blade.
- ✓Players tired of delofted sets who want a 34-degree 7-iron that gaps sensibly through the bag and stops on the green.
- ✓Someone moving out of a game improvement set who is ready to trade a little forgiveness for feedback, a cleaner shape, and the ability to shape shots.
- ✓Better ball strikers who care as much about how an iron feels and sounds at impact as they do about raw distance.
よくある質問
What handicap do you need to play the Miura CB-301?
It fits best in the hands of low to mid single-digit players and consistent low-teens handicaps. The cavity gives you a bit more help than a blade, but the compact head, thin topline, and minimal offset punish off-center hits. If you strike your irons in the center most of the time, it works. If you're still spraying strikes across the face, a wider game improvement iron will serve you better.
Why is the 7-iron only 34 degrees when other irons are so much stronger?
Miura keeps the CB-301 at traditional lofts on purpose. A 34-degree 7-iron produces the height and spin a 7-iron is supposed to have, so shots land soft and hold the green. Many game improvement irons run their 7-iron around 28 to 30 degrees to post bigger numbers, but that borrows distance from the next club down and squeezes your gapping. The tradeoff here is honest yardages and cleaner gaps rather than a strong number on a launch monitor.
How does the CB-301 compare to a Miura blade?
The cavity back moves weight to the perimeter, so the CB-301 holds its line on a slight miss better than a full muscleback and feels a touch more stable. You keep most of the compact look and forged feel of a blade, just with a small margin of forgiveness added. A blade will still edge it on pure workability and the last bit of feedback, but the CB-301 is the more forgiving pick for players who want that feel without the punishment.
Is the CB-301 forged, and what does that do for feel?
Yes. The head is grain-flow forged from soft carbon steel and hand-finished, which is what gives it the dense, muted sensation at impact that Miura is known for. Forged carbon steel tends to feel softer than a cast head, and the vibration dampening behind the face smooths out the harshness on slight mishits so even a toe strike feels solid rather than jarring.
Will I lose distance switching to the CB-301 from a game improvement set?
You might see slightly shorter numbers on the same club, but that's mostly because the lofts are traditional rather than strengthened. The ball flies the distance the loft says it should, with more height and stopping power. Think of it less as losing distance and more as trading a strong loft number for better control, tighter gapping, and shots that actually hold the green.
