The Honma TW767 Tour-V is a muscleback blade built for players who already know where the ball is going. This is not a forgiving iron, and Honma doesn't pretend otherwise. It's a compact, forged head aimed at low handicappers and better ball strikers who want feedback in their hands and control over trajectory.
The lofts here are traditional without being weak. The 7-iron sits at 32 degrees and the pitching wedge at 45, so you get honest gapping and the kind of flight a skilled player expects rather than the artificially strong lofts you find in game-improvement irons. A blade with these numbers rewards a descending strike and clean contact, and it punishes anything less.
Honma has a long reputation for forging in Japan, and the Tour-V fits that history. Thin topline, minimal offset, and a small footprint at address. If you've been playing a cavity back and thinking about moving to a blade, this is the type of iron that tells you immediately whether your strike is ready for it.

About the Honma TW767 Tour-V
The Tour-V is a classic muscleback shape. The mass sits directly behind the impact area rather than being pushed to the perimeter, which is what gives a blade its buttery feel on a center hit and its harsh feedback on a miss. The topline is thin, the offset is minimal, and the sole is narrow, all of which suit a player who works the ball and wants to control turf interaction. Forged construction is the point of an iron like this. Soft carbon steel gives the compressed, solid sensation at impact that blade players chase, and it lets Honma build a head that responds to feel rather than just distance. The compact profile at address favors shot shaping over forgiveness, so mishits toward the toe or heel lose speed and drift more than they would in a cavity back.
Loft Analysis
The Honma TW767 Tour-V's 7-iron is lofted at 32° - 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 143-153 yards. The 5-iron (23°) to 7-iron gap of 9° 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.
Who Should Play the Honma TW767 Tour-V?
- ✓Low handicappers and better players who strike the ball consistently on the center of the face
- ✓Ball workers who want to shape shots and control trajectory rather than chase maximum distance
- ✓Players moving down from a players cavity back who want more feedback and a smaller profile
- ✓Anyone who values the soft, forged feel of a Japanese muscleback over perimeter-weighted forgiveness
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Honma TW767 Tour-V a blade or a cavity back?
It's a true muscleback blade. The weight sits behind the impact zone instead of around the perimeter, so it gives excellent feel and shot control but very little help on mishits.
What handicap should you be to play the TW767 Tour-V?
This is a low handicap iron, generally suited to single-digit players and better. If you don't strike the ball consistently in the center of the face, you'll lose distance and accuracy compared to a more forgiving iron.
Are the lofts on the TW767 Tour-V strong or traditional?
They're traditional. The 7-iron is 32 degrees and the pitching wedge is 45, with consistent 3 to 4 degree gaps through the set. That's the honest, controllable flight a skilled player expects from a blade.
How does the TW767 Tour-V feel at impact?
Soft and solid on a flush strike, which is the reason players choose a forged Honma blade. It also gives sharp, honest feedback on off-center hits, so you always know exactly where you caught it.
Can you shape shots with the TW767 Tour-V?
Yes, that's a big part of the appeal. The compact head, thin topline, and minimal offset make it easy to hit draws, fades, and lower or higher flights when you have the skill to do it.
