    I agree. Miuras have a short blade and long hosels, which generally leads to low MPF.

    Blocky, I have read about these irons and would like to eventually get one to measure. The only thing that caught my eye was the statement that the iron design went back to very short blade lengths. However, the only way to determine MPF is to actually measure the club since manufacturer’s can say anything whether correct or incorrect.

    Hi Ralph,

    I found your research on OEM irons very interesting and conclusive. My question to you is have you ever measured (or do you intend to measure in the future) irons produced by some leading Japanese manufacturers, in particular, Miura (or ‘Miura Giken’ as they are known of in Japan).

    The reason that I ask is that I am considering purchasing a set of these irons. It has long been argued that Katsuhiro Miura is the master craftsman when it comes to golf clubs. This, coupled with his 14-step forging process (opposed to the standard 3-step used by most OEM’s), compacts the steel as such that it is far denser/heavier.

    It would be interesting to see how the head dynamics ie C.O.G. position compare with other leading brands.
