Honma built its name on hand-finished irons and gold-shafted clubs that cost as much as a used car, so a hollow-body distance iron feels a little off-brand at first glance. The TR20 V is exactly that, and it works. This is the fastest, most forgiving iron in the 2020 Tour Release family, sitting a step above the P cavity-back and two steps above the B blade in the same lineup.
What you get is a cast, hollow-headed players distance iron with tungsten packed low in the toe and a 31 degree 7-iron. That loft is strong, but not the aggressive 28 or 29 degree stuff some game-improvement irons hide behind. Honma kept the head compact and the topline thin enough that it still looks like a player's club at address, then hid the speed inside.
The pitch here is simple. You want more ball speed and a higher launch than a blade gives you, but you don't want a chunky iron that screams beginner. The TR20 V threads that needle, and it does it with the kind of finish and feel Honma is known for.

About the Honma TR20 V
The hollow-body construction is the whole story. A thin, unsupported face flexes at impact for more ball speed, and the empty cavity behind it is where the extra distance comes from compared to a solid muscle-back. Honma cast the heads rather than forging them, which lets them build the hollow shape more consistently and keep costs a touch more reasonable than the brand's forged flagships. Tungsten weighting sits low and toward the toe to drop the center of gravity and push launch up, which matters with these stronger lofts. A 31 degree 7-iron would fly low and hot without help, so the low CG is doing real work to keep the ball in the air and landing soft. The result is a compact head that launches higher and holds greens better than the loft number would suggest.
Phân tích Loft
The Honma TR20 V's 7-iron is lofted at 31° - 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 147-157 yards. The 5-iron (24°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, 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 TR20 V?
- ✓Mid handicappers who want distance and forgiveness but are turned off by the size of typical game-improvement irons
- ✓Better players losing a bit of speed who want to add yards back without switching to a bulky head
- ✓Anyone who values Honma's fit and finish and is willing to pay for a hollow-body iron that still looks clean at address
- ✓Golfers who like the idea of a stronger-lofted set but want the tungsten and low CG to keep launch and stopping power intact
Câu hỏi thường gặp
Is the Honma TR20 V a forged iron?
No, it's cast. Honma reserves forging for its higher-end blades and cavity backs, and cast construction is what makes the hollow-body design practical. You still get a soft, muted feel at impact thanks to the hollow head and the material inside, but the head itself is cast, not forged.
How strong are the TR20 V lofts?
The 7-iron is 31 degrees, with the pitching wedge at 45 and the 4-iron at 21. That's stronger than a traditional set but not the most aggressive in the players distance category. The tungsten weighting and low center of gravity are there specifically to launch these strong lofts high enough to land soft.
How does the TR20 V compare to the TR20 P and TR20 B?
The B is the blade for the best ball strikers, the P is a compact cavity back for mid-to-low handicappers, and the V is the distance and forgiveness option of the three. If you want speed and a higher launch, the V is the pick. If you prioritize workability and a tighter dispersion off the face, look at the P or B.
Will the stronger lofts make the ball fly too low or run out on greens?
That's the usual worry with strong lofts, but the hollow body and low, toe-side tungsten push launch up and add spin height. The V holds greens better than the 31 degree 7-iron loft implies. You will still see more rollout than a blade, so it's worth checking your stopping power on a launch monitor during a fitting.
Who should skip the TR20 V?
If you shape shots for a living and want to feel every miss, the blade-like TR20 B suits you better. And if you need maximum forgiveness and don't care about looks, a dedicated game-improvement iron gives you more help for less money. The V is for players who want speed without giving up the compact look and premium feel.
