Honma spent decades making some of the most expensive golf clubs on the planet, then in 2019 put a real player behind them when Justin Rose signed on and put the TW747 line in his bag. The Vx is the distance model of that family. It sits a notch above the straight players cavity V, with stronger lofts and a slightly fuller shape, but it still comes forged and still asks you to bring some swing.
The 7-iron sits at 31 degrees, which is strong. That is where the "Players Distance" label comes from. You get ball speed and a flatter, longer flight than a traditional forged cavity would give you, without the club turning into a shovel. Honma forges these from soft carbon steel, so the feel at impact is the kind of soft, dense thud that Japanese forgings are known for.
This is not a set for someone trying to hide a slice or add ten yards through a bulky sole. The TW747 Vx rewards a repeating strike. Hit it in the middle and it gives you speed and a clean look down at address. Miss it low on the face and you will hear about it. That trade is the whole point.

About the Honma TW747 Vx
The Vx uses progressive lofts across the set, and the spread tells you how it is built to perform. The 4-iron runs 21 degrees and the long irons are geared to launch and carry, which is why Honma leans on the forged construction and added mass low in those heads to get the ball up. Through the middle irons the lofts tighten into normal gaps, and by the time you reach the 9-iron at 40 and pitching wedge at 45 you have the control and stopping power you want on approach. Comparing it inside the TW747 range makes the positioning clear. The V is the purer players cavity with weaker, more traditional lofts. The P is the forgiveness-first game improvement option. The Vx splits the difference, keeping the forged feel and a fairly compact head while stealing distance through the loft structure. Topline and offset stay modest, so at address it reads like a players iron rather than a distance iron.
Phân tích Loft
The Honma TW747 Vx'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 TW747 Vx?
- ✓Mid to low handicap players who want more carry and ball speed but refuse to give up a forged feel to get it.
- ✓Players moving down from a chunkier game improvement iron who are ready for a cleaner shape and a smaller forgiveness margin.
- ✓Anyone who values the soft impact of Japanese carbon steel and wants a set that looks compact behind the ball.
- ✓Golfers with a consistent strike and reasonable speed, since the strong lofts do you no favors on thin or heel misses.
Câu hỏi thường gặp
Is the Honma TW747 Vx a players iron or a distance iron?
It is a players distance iron, which means it borrows from both. The forged carbon steel head, compact shape and modest offset come from the players side. The 31 degree 7-iron and the launch-tuned long irons come from the distance side. It flies longer than a traditional forged cavity but still wants a good strike.
How strong are the lofts on the TW747 Vx?
Fairly strong for a forged set. The 7-iron is 31 degrees, the 4-iron is 21, and the pitching wedge is 45. That is a few degrees stronger through the middle irons than a classic players cavity, which is where the extra distance comes from. It also means you may want to look at your wedge gapping so you do not leave a hole between the PW and your gap wedge.
What is the difference between the TW747 V and the Vx?
The V is the standard players cavity with more traditional, weaker lofts and a slightly more compact head. The Vx keeps the forged feel but adds stronger lofts and a touch more head size to chase distance and higher launch in the long irons. If you want workability and control, look at the V. If you want speed and carry without going full game improvement, the Vx is the one.
Are these irons forgiving enough for a mid handicapper?
For a solid mid handicapper who strikes it fairly consistently, yes. The cavity back and progressive weighting help, and the long irons are the easiest part of the set to launch. But this is not a max-forgiveness iron. Off-center hits lose speed and the smaller head gives you less bailout than a game improvement model like the TW747 P.
Did Justin Rose actually play the TW747?
Yes. Rose signed with Honma in early 2019 and put the TW747 line into play, which is a big part of why this set got attention outside of Honma's traditional audience. His build was tour-spec and not identical to a retail set, but it put a legitimate ball-striker behind the brand.
