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.
