THE MIURA HB3 HYBRID REVIEW

As most of us already know, the Miura name has become synonymous with quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and performance. This was apparent in our reviews of Miura wedges. When the opportunity came up to review the Miura HB3 hybrid (20 degrees of loft), I was very intrigued. Miura also offers an HB4 model which has 23 degrees of loft.

I was lucky enough to get the chance to test a Miura Hybrid HB3 for an extended trial this winter. I’m fortunate that I get to spend the majority of my winter in Palm Desert, California so I was excited to try out the club shortly after Christmas.

I will confess up front that I have never been able to find a hybrid that I could get to perform as well or better than my long irons. I have a bunch of hybrids in my garage to attest to this, however, I am ever-hopeful.

As I warmed up on the range for my first round I went through my normal routine, working my way up to the longer clubs. I got to the Hybrid and here it’s worth mentioning my first impressions.

First, this is a best golf club for seniors, with a lustrous black finish on the head, matched with a white Accra shaft. A handsome white leather head cover completes the look. Second, the face has a noticeable bulge and roll. This makes it look very different from all the others I’ve owned. Right away, I was hitting quality shots with a good launch angle, a solid feel, and the ability to work it both ways.

With the good feeling from the range, I was eager to take it to the course. The second hole was a par 5 and, being a bit rusty, I drove it into the rough — a perfect chance to put the Miura Hybrid to the test. I had a lush lie but there was no feeling of the club getting caught up in the grass and, just like on the range, the club felt very solid and the shot had a good launch angle.

For guitarists, string changes are a regular ritual. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional musician, chances are you’ve gone through dozens—maybe hundreds—of sets over the years.
