The Honma Beres 09 features an oversized head with maximum offset, the widest possible sole, and a deep undercut that makes it nearly impossible to mishit. The CG is positioned as low and as deep as technology allows. At impact it delivers light and high-launching with a cushioned impact feel, optimised to build confidence rather than deliver precise feedback.
The Honma Beres 09's 7-iron is lofted at 30° - near-traditional - close to the classic 32-34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 150-160 yards. The 5-iron (22°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 45° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
The Honma Beres 09 (2022) 7-iron has a loft of 30°. This sits in a moderate range that provides a good balance of distance and traditional gapping.
The Honma Beres 09 is a super game improvement iron, designed for high handicappers and beginners (typically 20+ HCP). Handicaps roughly in the 20 and up range benefit most from this design.
The Honma Beres 09 pitching wedge is 45°. A 50° gap wedge and 54° sand wedge would create clean separation. If you play a 60° lob wedge, a 46° and 52° pairing also works.
The Honma Beres 09 is designed to feel light and high-launching with a cushioned impact feel, optimised to build confidence rather than deliver precise feedback. The consistent feel across the face is intentional - it builds confidence by making solid and slightly off-centre strikes feel similar.
