Honma has spent most of its reputation on premium, expensive irons aimed at better players, so the TW767 Hx is a bit of a departure. This is a game improvement iron built for golfers who want help getting the ball airborne and holding a line, not one that demands a pure strike to reward you. The Hx in the name points to the hollow-body construction, and that is the whole story here.
The lofts sit in a sensible middle ground for the category. A 28 degree 7-iron and a 42 degree pitching wedge are stronger than a blade but nowhere near the jacked-up lofts you see on some distance irons that turn a 7-iron into what used to be a 5. That matters because it means the gaps stay honest and the long irons still launch high enough to stop on a green.
What you are paying for with Honma is finish quality and feel. The company builds clubs to a standard most brands reserve for their flagship models, and even the forgiving irons get that attention. If you have written Honma off as a boutique brand only for low handicappers, the TW767 Hx is the one that changes the math.

About the Honma TW767 Hx
The hollow-body design lets Honma push weight low and to the perimeter, which raises launch and steadies the face on off-center hits. The 5-iron through 7-iron are where you feel this most, since those are the clubs mid and high handicappers tend to thin or leave low. A 22 degree 5-iron in a hollow head gets up far more easily than the same loft in a muscleback. The loft progression climbs in roughly four to five degree steps through the set, tightening to five degrees between the 8-iron, 9-iron and pitching wedge where you want more control. The scoring clubs are strong enough to carry distance but not so strong that you lose the ability to flight them down. Expect a solid, muted feel at impact rather than the clicky sensation some hollow distance irons give you, which is the part Honma tends to get right where others do not.
Loft Analysis
The Honma TW767 Hx's 7-iron is lofted at 28° - moderately strong - slightly stronger than traditional lofts. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 157-167 yards. The 5-iron (22°) to 7-iron gap of 6° is well-gapped, which leaves clean yardage separation through the mid-irons. The pitching wedge at 42° is relatively strong - consider a gap wedge of 46-48° to bridge the distance to your sand wedge.
Who Should Play the Honma TW767 Hx?
- ✓Mid to high handicappers who struggle to launch long irons and want more height without swinging harder
- ✓Players coming from a pure distance iron who miss having real feel at impact
- ✓Anyone who wants Honma build quality and finish in a forgiving head rather than a blade
- ✓Golfers who want strong-ish lofts for distance but not the huge gaps that come with the most aggressive distance irons
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Honma TW767 Hx a game improvement iron or a players iron?
It is a game improvement iron. The hollow-body construction and perimeter weighting are built for forgiveness and easy launch, not for the workability a better player would look for in a blade or players distance iron.
Are the lofts on the TW767 Hx strong?
They are moderately strong for the category. The 7-iron is 28 degrees and the pitching wedge is 42 degrees, which is stronger than a traditional set but well short of the most aggressive distance irons that push the 7-iron under 27 degrees. Your gapping stays clean and the long irons still launch high.
What does the Hx stand for in the TW767 Hx?
The Hx refers to the hollow-body construction. The face and head are hollow, which lets Honma move weight low and to the perimeter for higher launch and more stability on mishits.
Will I need a gap wedge to go with this set?
Most likely yes. The set runs down to a 42 degree pitching wedge, so you will want a gap wedge around 46 to 48 degrees to avoid a hole between the pitching wedge and your sand wedge.
How does the TW767 Hx feel compared to other distance irons?
Honma tends to produce a softer, more muted impact than most hollow distance irons, which can feel hot and clicky. If feel matters to you but you still need the forgiveness, that is the main reason to look at this set over a cheaper distance iron.
