Lofts match on every club the two sets share, so the markers sit on top of each other.

What the differences mean

Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 34° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show.

Both are blade irons, built for low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently. Compact muscleback irons with minimal offset, thin toplines and the smallest sweet spot — built for shot-shaping over forgiveness. 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.

Both heads are listed as forged muscle-back blade. 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.

There are 6 years between these sets (2013 and 2019), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently.

Which should you choose?

The MB-001 and MB-101 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Miura MB-001 stronger lofted than the MB-101?

No. Both have a 34° 7-iron and the same loft on every club they share, so neither is stronger lofted. The difference is in construction and feel.

What is the loft difference between the Miura MB-001 and MB-101?

There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 34° 7-iron.

Are the Miura MB-001 and MB-101 aimed at the same golfer?

Yes. Both are blade irons, built for low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
