What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the CB-302 is 32° and the TC-202 is 33°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the CB-302 should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the TC-202. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the TC-202 averages 1.1° weaker, with the largest gap at the GW (48° vs 50°). The pitching wedges are 44° and 45°; the stronger one leaves a 6° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the CB-302 runs 4-iron to GW (8 clubs), the TC-202 3-iron to GW (9 clubs).
Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The CB-302 is listed as forged (hand-forged in Himeji, Japan) and the TC-202 as forged tour cavity with T-Weight Bar and variable-depth cavity. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The TC-202 came out 2 years after the CB-302, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The TC-202 is the weaker-lofted set — up to 2° weaker than the CB-302. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Miura CB-302 stronger lofted than the TC-202?
Yes. The Miura CB-302 7-iron is 32° against 33° for the TC-202, 1° stronger, which is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of extra carry with the same swing.
What is the loft difference between the Miura CB-302 and TC-202?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1° (32° vs 33°). The largest gap on a shared club is 2° at the GW, and all 8 shared clubs differ.
Are the Miura CB-302 and TC-202 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the Miura CB-302 and TC-202 have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37 inches long.
