Peter, you have to make the last 20 seconds into a short! My goodness that’s too funny 😅😂
I don’t get the joke…:(
That was funny.
@@Iamwrongbut Kyoei blades are sooooooooooo clean. If I had couple thousand dollars for irons, I am buying those.
You have to get a set of those Peter. They are gorgeous!
Yep. I was cracking myself for ages. So Pete.
Laughed so hard at the end. Absolutely love Pete’s humour. 😂
Would love to see you test them stunning itobori irons. And see them close up they look amazing Almost art work!!..That last scene at the end was hilarious by the way after seeing the last iron 😂😂
Itobori gets my vote as well!!!
Seconded. I just saw the Dragonweld Copper irons on the Itobori website. Wow.
My friend has them and I’ve hit them, and yes the artistic design looks mesmerizing!
Yes please! It was the only one that I went and tried to find a review on because they look so interesting!
Love to see a Miura test - not just the forged. The PI-401 as well.
seconded

I keep getting Mirua ads on Facebook. They look nice. I too am curious.

KM700 are the irons, I love to see Peter try.
I’ve golfed in Japan several times. The courses are very well kept as you’d expect but typically a bit of a formal affair. Why not connect with Matsuyama’s old caddy, Daisuke Shindo? He retired from caddying and is pretty much a RUclipsr in Japan these days. “Uum Golf” is his channel. He’s got quite a few subscribers. 👍
Thanks for the Uum Golf tip. Getting great tips from there.
Surely getting a set of itobori is a must. The artistry looks amazing. I would personally have them framed for the office!
I think you might be right
Currently own Fourteen TB7’s and Miura MC-501. Absolutely love them and they feel better than anything I’ve ever hit
But those Seven irons and Kyoei irons have been my dream set for years!!!
I just got fit for the TC-7’s can’t wait to get them !
I went to get fitted and tried the zx7s and miz 223s and every other top brand irons. The fitter had me try out the fourteen TB7s and they were head and shoulders above everything else in feel and results on the tracker
I own a set of Tb-7s as well.. they are buttery soft, very forgiving for a blade & go far (due to strong lofts)... Which set do you prefer? The 14s or the Miuras?
They all look amazing but you have to test out the Itobori’s, right? Everything else looks traditional and just clean. Those Itobori irons are just wild.
Both the Itobori and Kyoei. The Sevens would be incredible as well. Japan is really doing the most with their metal work in golf clubs.
Love the Japanese golf aesthetic. Kyoei, Itobori, Muira and Fujimoto coud all hang in a gallery, so beautiful are the designs and craftsmanship. Always had Mizuno irons but I'd like to go niche...
Love that y'all lean right into the humorous side of things! Also, KYOEI MB 1964 Arakenma Kurozame finish. 😍
This is awesome Peter! I'm a total Japanese forged irons fan. Must let you know. Every thing I've read and seen, about the Miura KM700. Is outstanding.
I truly would appreciate if you could and would give these a work through. Your review might help me break my bank to buy my own.
Thanks. Keep up the great work, Cheers!
I own a set of the Kyoei Kk mbs. Bought them as a present when I got to plus handicap last year. They're mint 👌❤️

DM right away I have something for you🎮🎮.
Great how you ended up this video. Best ever of all channels. 🤣
I love playing my Srixon ZX7.
I've actually started building up sets of 10-15yo Japanese forged irons. Some blades, but mostly cavity backs. Find them on ebay heads-only, they ship from Japan in a matter of days. I've built up Srixons, Mizunos, Yamahas, Bridgestones, PRGR, Royal Collection, some JDM Taylormades, etc. Once I got my first taste of forged irons, I can't go back to cast heads. And most of these sets cost me under $150, sometimes under $100 for 5-PW heads.
How did you like the PRGR?
I'm hoping for good things from a set of DATA 711s
Hey Peter, love the content! I agree, those Itobori clubs look unbelievable. Amongst all of these, I would enjoy seeing a review of those because they are less known and stand out from the others. Also the turf interaction with the chiseled sole has me curious.
@@Official_PeterFinch... hi, haha I'm not sure how to DM on this platform so I hope this suffices.
Just arrived back to the UK from Japan as the wife is Japanese. When she worked for for a company in Tokyo every member of staff had to play golf!! Her brother has 3 golf bags full of Mizuno clubs! You have to get some of the Itobori.
Hi guys. I have sent you a message on Insta and FB.
Regards John
When you gave the hint at the beginning, of the clubs you would look at last, I was sure it was the Itobori. But the Kyoei, especially in raw finish, are stunning. Have had Endo-forged irons in the bag for a few years (Endo makes Srixon and Epon, among others). The feel of flushing a properly-forged iron is sublime. Thanks for the content, keep 'em coming!
This is one of the best golf equipment videos I’ve seen in a long time! As a club technician, not enough Japanese clubs come across my counter. They are absolutely stunning. Props to you guys for bringing more light to them
Peter, you have to look at and try Yururi. The Geku wedges and flatback blades to be specific. Also, Epon is more or less a club brand that has been the main competitor of Miura for Years. Nike tried them out back in the day, TM tried them out as well for some of their tour players but were found to be a bit less solid in feel compared to Miura. Second, take a dive into the shaft world in Japan, then the world of the bags. Both offer things that we couldn't even dream off here in Europe (US has some better offerings nowadays as well). Talking from the pov of someone who spend a lot of time fitting and grinding some of these raw heads about 15 years ago.
I do like the look of Srixon and Mizuno. Looking a getting a new set of irons later in the year. I think that Bridgestone are also made in Japan
I have a Honma tw-u 3 iron crossover/hybrid. It wil never leave my bag. I can shape it left or right, bomb it, knock it down and it's amazing around the greens for bump and runs etc.
Best £149 I've ever spent.....apart from that one time in Grimsby.
I have a set of Miura KM-700s arriving next week and to say i am excited is an understatement! Love Japanese golf clubs... love em.
I'm so jealous, they look absolutely beautiful. Would love to hear how you get on with them. They are kinda like a level up in forgiveness to their MBs aren't they?
@@biggie686 Yes. That's the plan anyway. They are a bit bigger bladed and more forgiving than the new MC-502 is my understanding of where they sit in the Miura range. So a good deal more forgiving than the MBs which are their smallest and most pure blades.
That sounds awesome! Please post back here, and let us know what you think. I've been dreaming of these.
I bought a set of Muira blades about a year and a half ago and the feeling is unreal
Miura KM-700 is my vote for a test. Best looking blade ever made.
My first metal driver was a Yonex…Rekin Super II, I believe. A few years before the 460cc’s began to come out. Still have it in the basement.
@Official_PeterFinch My apologies, I have no idea how to DM anyone on RUclips. I’m a 46 year old dinosaur.
You are more than welcome to the Yonex in my basement. It’s a classic. I’m not sure anyone makes clubs that feel and sound quite like this one. I will gladly ship it over to you.
Tested Epon's a while ago and I was BLOWN AWAY. The absolute softest irons I've hit and I'm on my third set of MP's
They are the house brand of the Endo forging house, used by a lot of more known brands to forge their iron heads (Titleist, etc.). Great clubs!
@@alexandravanderbeek615 seriously? I had no idea!
They're incredible.
Glad you put "Fourteen" into the mix. I LOVE the look of their clubs, and I happened to luck into a set of their wedges when I bought some old Ping ISI-K's from a guy on Craigslist. The irons were black dot, 3-SW, nickel with Ping graphite shafts AND he included 3 Fourteen wedges for $80! At the time, gas prices spiked significantly and I had to drive out to get the clubs from him so he knocked off $20. $60 out the door! When I got them home i gave everything a thorough cleaning and OH MY DAYS!!! I had to regroove the wedges a little bit, but they are way too spangly to play with!
Itobori's are gorgeous, too, but the "Kyoei"sequence at the end?? 😂😂😂

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have the last 20 seconds as a short! That was absolutely hilarious. Also, get you a set of the Kyoei blades. That last 20 seconds is comedic gold right there, well done sir.
Yeap Kyoei is the one for you Pete!!! It is a big forging manufacturer like Miura produces many golf clubs! They feel unbelievable!
That ending 😂😭 is exactly how I feel everytime I play golf. But those itoboris! My word those are gorgeous
Nice reviews! Two of my friends each have an itobori set, one friend has a whole set from driver to wedges and putters with the burnt blue/copper looks. It’s not cheap but the craftsmanship is mesmerizing, forged and feels soft but not as soft as some other Japanese blades.
Itobori look fantastic, but were known for having ball-shredding characteristics a few years ago. I vote the latest iteration of Miura blades for the ones for you to try if you can get a set.
The last one! 🤣🤣👏Brilliant, Pete.
Would love to see you test them all, love the idea of finding other brands to challenge the main ones! And they look so great
I agree....the new Z forged looks outrageous!
Disgusting aren’t they 🤤
As someone who has a full set of Mizuno clubs and is from Seattle this video is something I never thought Id see.
Love the videos. Your sense of humor makes these very enjoyable. Thank you.

Haha and the Itobori reaction, I swear, is the reaction everyone gives when I show them! ❤❤
This is the the first time I have ever laughed aloud watching a golf video. Well done!
Fantastic video. The end has me in stitches. Great humour.
You need to try those ones out!
Thanks for all your videos, I never miss an episode.
I absolutely love your humour and that you are always in a good mood, keep on smiling.
I would like to see more about the Miura irons. They look awesome.
You’re hilarious, Pete. Also, your Seahawks logos that appear here and there on your videos throw me off every time! If you’re a Seattle fan, come on out to the Pacific Northwest sometime and I’ll show you around! 😝
Gosh some of those club companies look so awesome, but I’m seriously thinking of getting some Miura KM-700 irons. That’d be my vote on clubs I think you should check out.
Thanks for the videos, and hope the shock of that last company might wear off
You know we want you to test each one of those brands now 🤣
I have watched so many of your videos, but this one has to be the best. Last 20 seconds or so made me LMAO 😂🤣😂

That finish had me dead!!! Too good guys.
@Peter Finch this is my favourite video you have ever put out. I was clenching my sphincter the whole video hoping kyoei was the final one on your list.
I have spent countless hours on the Japanese rabbit trail. Couple notes.
Kyoei - apparently Katsuhiro Muira worked at the Kyoei factory as a youngster prior to starting Muira. It is where he learned how to forge clubs. I own a set of the KK CBs and have steel fibre i95 shafts in them. You will never hit a better feeling club in your life.
Epon - is the in house brand of a forging house called Endo. Endo is the company that forged Tiger Woods irons. Not Muira
Vega - is also forged by Kyoei
You should also look up Yururi. They have a cult following and their wedges are unbelievable.
Itobari - is actually cheaply made in China. The designs are then ground in Japan. Quality wise they are nowhere close to the other companies.
Finally - the mainstream Japanese brands can not hold a candle to these other pesser known club makers when it comes to feel
Great VID! keep bringing it bro! much love from the U S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the ending! I hope you next skit is a spoof of that scene from Kill Bill: Vol 1 where Beatrice Kiddo goes to Hattori Hanzo and ogles his Katana collection.
🤣 the blank stare has me in stitches !! Itobori clubs look too good to hit but I'd love to know how they feel in your skilled hands Pete.. 🙌 ⛳🏌♂️
Peter, I haven't laughed at a video (let alone a golf video) so hard in my life. The last half minute or so is golden. You know now what you must do. You must try Kyoei.
I would love to see the itoboro clubs those angles look amazing
Those were beautiful irons, funniest video yet. Thx Pete 👍
It’s got to be the Itobori. Seen the wedges on eBay going for £300+ each.
Itobori…..please, please please test them! Saw them a few years ago and would love to know more!
Been loving the content of recent ! Keep it up
I'm sitting here having left over pizza and nearly choked to death. That ending is the funniest thing I've seen on a golf channel.
I worked at a high end private golf and CC in Canada, and we sold/fitted XXIO in our pro shop on the regular. Members love them. We also had a member who had a 3 star Honma set, director and owner of some Chinese media company

The ending was Gold, man!
Miura would be cool, would be good to hear your take on the forged irons, the ones we all wish we had 🙂 or the last one, kk...?
Great video Pete, that ending so funny!!!🤣 Have you come out of the trance yet 😀😝
Brilliant Pete. Would absolutely love to see you test some of those niche brands
I play Honma TW 747 irons with the made in house Sakata graphite shafts. Absolutely my favorite irons (and I've owned more than a dozen sets) since I started golf back in 1987. Honma feels smooth, and well balanced in hand. Surprisingly they were not pricey. Was a demo set in a pro shop, $549 for 5i - 11i. Yeah the PW is a 10 iron, gap wedge is an 11 iron. I sold my Mizuno JPX forged set to buy the Honmas.
That ending is pure gold LOL. As for the clubs to check out from Japan? I have to go with either the Itobori's for their wild design or the Kyoei's with the raw finish. Both would be amazing just as a collector's item.
Clicked on the vid expecting a Japanese iron extravaganza 3 mins in and were talking about Srixon drivers. Hurts my instant gratification soul.
Hilarious!!! I had a looooong and difficult day and thus video (particularly the last part) made my day. Brilliant!!!!

Purchased a set of fourteen tb-7s (most forgiving blade I've ever hit) & a set of Kyoei duel weight II irons.. both sets are literally pieces of art & have incredible performance & feel..I also purchased a Baldo corsa 3 wood & Geotech driver.. I'm in golf club paradise right now.. why more people don't play these is beyond me..If you really start digging into the Japanese market, you'll find that the innovate & make clubs and driver components for the major oems
I have tried Epon and the feeling is incredibly soft. Really feels like cutting through butter.
Absolutely the best freakin’ ending to a golf “review” video!!
Had me rollin’ and had to show it to the wife. Too funny! Keep it up!
Best golf RUclips channel! Keep ‘em coming Pete 👍🏽

I have Vega irons an I just Love them! They are great, forgiving blades that look phenomenal!
Same! I have the VDC-01 irons and they are so wonderful
@@Shipwreck15151 I have the vmb irons vwx wedges and the mizar Max driving iron …they always outperformed other brand at the fitting 😅
Mizuno 221 looks loke the MP69s I had a couple of years back in my bag… They are wonderfull!
Now changed to the Miura camp with Nicklaus medling in… when these wear out, I’ll be moving back to Mizunos.
Love the club reviews.....keep 'em coming!
Itobori test is a must. My head says Miura but my heart says Itobori!!
Would love to see a kyoei review Pete.
Love these videos and the ending of this one was awesome
Great review Peter, i love all these clubs. My pal is one of the agent for Itobri. Amazing clubs!!
The Kyeoi enhanced polished blades are a must. Most beautiful irons I've ever seen in my life.
I’m loving the mug 🦉 I’d be interested in a video where you review other mugs in your collection.
The end killed me!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pete you have to get the ones that looked flame treated with the cool colors
First off love the beanie! As a fellow Seahawks fan who has that same one gotta love it. Second, I want to see the Seven or the last ones.
Great video Peter love the content pure class , They all look all unreal 👌🏌♂⛳
The videos keep getting better😂
Yes - Muira for me! My son has made me promise to buy him a set of Miura clubs if he gets to scratch by 14 (he's off 9 at 12 now). I'll buy myself some too if I get below 5 again. Beautiful things indeed.
All i can say is brilliant absolutely brilliant great vid love the end
I have hit Itobori, Epon and Yuyuri irons. All have slightly different feels but it's pure butter when I manage a centre strike.
You are amazing. Great video. You need to get those last ones. Frame them and never take them out. Lol. Love your geeky ness. Thanks Pete
Down with the Supercar posters....... And up with the golf club posters!!!
Some of these clubs are simply GORGEOUS
XXIO. I was playing Taylormade Rocketball irons for a few years but felt I was losing distance due to age and flexibility. Wanted to go to graphite shafts to pick up a few mph. Found a set of 12 year old XXIO irons at a play it again sports for 99 bucks and only bought them to see how graphite felt as I’d never heard of them. Holy cow! The ball flew off the face and straighter than any irons I’ve ever hit in my life. I’ve been on the lookout for a good deal on a newer model, but as you said, they are pricey. Would love to see an in depth review
you're the most enjoyable golf entertainment that's forvsure. bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
That was brilliant at the end mate!! So funny!!!! Soon be at a million!!! Ace
Dig into Ryoma. They produce some of thee best looking and most powerfull ball speed metal woods and drivers ever.
As living in Hong Kong, Japanese brand golf clubs are easier to get hold of. Currently most of my clubs in the golf bag are Japanese brands : Onoff Driver & Hybrid, Honma Irons, Epon wedges and Gold's Factory putter (Only 3 wood is US brand Ping). My previous Japanese clubs include XXIO Driver, Royal Collection Driver, Katana Driver, Muraman 3 wood, Epon Irons...
Great vid as always Pete! I'd quite like to see the Xxio, Fujimoto, Seven, Itobori (for the artistry), Yonex (because I have a set) and Kyoei (these look sublime). Your montage at the end was superb 😀 😀
I have a set of VEGA VDC-01 and they are so much softer then all of the Miuras I have owned. Itobori are by far the softest I’ve ever hit though. Without a doubt.
I've just bought a set of Miura TC-201's 😍, been lusting after them for a while. They feel amazing & sneaky distance with them. Even got the cord Miura grips, so nice may use iron covers on them. 🫣
I'd love to see you hit some of these. They're gorgeous, and probably feel like butter.
Some of those are ridiculous……ly gorgeous! Those last ones in the copper finish…😵🥰
Good to see Pete that you are addressing the weight gain and looking much better again.
Your content and humour has just got so good 👍
