Honma built its name on forged irons that feel expensive because they are, and the TW767 Vx sits in the part of the Tour World line meant for good players who still want a little help. This is the players cavity, not the muscle back. You get a compact head that looks the part at address, but behind the face there is enough cavity and perimeter weighting to keep mishits from falling out of the sky.
The lofts tell you what kind of iron this is. The 7-iron sits at 30 degrees, which is stronger than a classic blade but nowhere near the jacked-up game improvement numbers you see on distance irons. That means real ball speed and a bit more carry, without the trajectory going so low that the ball won't hold a green. Across the set the gaps are clean, 3 degrees through the mid and short irons, widening to 5 between the 8 and 9 and again into the pitching wedge at 44.
Honma releases the TW767 for 2025 into a crowded players cavity market, and the pitch here is feel and finish. If you have hit their older Tour World irons, you know the sound at impact is soft and low, the kind of feedback a decent ball striker actually wants. This is not the iron for someone breaking 100. It is for the player who flushes most of them and wants to know when they didn't.

About the Honma TW767 Vx
The Vx is a forged cavity back with a fairly thin topline for the category and modest offset, so it reads clean sitting behind the ball. The cavity and perimeter weighting push forgiveness toward the toe and heel, which is where players lose ball speed on off-center strikes, while the compact footprint keeps the workability that better players ask for. Sole width is on the narrower side, so turf interaction rewards a shallow, ball-first strike more than it bails out a steep one. The stronger 30-degree 7-iron loft is paired with enough face and cavity design to launch the ball reasonably high, but this set assumes you can deliver the club with some speed and a repeatable low point.
Loft Analysis
The Honma TW767 Vx'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 (24°) to 7-iron gap of 6° is well-gapped, which leaves clean yardage separation through the mid-irons. The pitching wedge at 44° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.

- ✓Feel matters to you, and you notice the difference between a soft forged iron and a hot cast one.
- ✓Your handicap sits in the single digits to low teens and your misses are small, not wild.
- ✓You want a little more carry from stronger lofts but still need the ball to stop on a green.
- ✓You already like premium Japanese forged irons and are willing to pay for the finish and feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Honma TW767 Vx a blade or a cavity back?
It is a players cavity, so a forged cavity back with a compact head. Honma keeps the blade-style muscle backs in the other TW models. The Vx gives up a little of that pure look in exchange for more forgiveness on toe and heel misses.
How strong are the TW767 Vx lofts?
The 7-iron is 30 degrees and the pitching wedge is 44. That is stronger than a traditional set but moderate for a modern players iron. You get a touch more distance than an old blade without the ball flight getting too low to hold greens.
What handicap is the TW767 Vx good for?
Roughly a single digit up to the low teens. It has more help than a blade, but the narrow sole and compact head still assume you catch most irons cleanly. Higher handicappers will get more out of a wider-soled game improvement iron.
Does the TW767 Vx feel as soft as Honma's other forged irons?
It is forged, so impact is soft and quiet with clear feedback on where you hit the face. If you have played older Tour World irons, the sensation will be familiar. Feel is a big part of what you pay for with this iron.
What lofts do I need to fill the gap below the pitching wedge?
The set pitching wedge is 44 degrees, so a common setup is a 50 gap wedge next, then something around 54 and 58. That keeps your yardage gaps even down into the scoring clubs rather than leaving a big hole under the PW.
