Since signing Justin Rose at the start of the year, Japan’s Honma is becoming a force in the golf equipment business, offering the best in innovation and craftsmanship. The company’s latest irons—the TW-X set—are called a “players distance” iron, meaning better golfers will like their workability, but benefit from the trajectory they get on shots into the green. A muscle back iron that will appeal to better golfers, the hollow construction provides terrific distance.
Key Technologies
- Japanese equipment companies are known for their forged irons, and that’s the case with the TW-X. But there’s a twist, and that comes in the hollow construction. Typically, forged irons present great workability, but not distance. But because of their hollow construction, the TW-X irons offer distance and great feel. That’s a powerful combination.
- Though they are forged, these are forgiving irons with a high MOI. They launch high and stop quickly.
- Comes in a full set or can be added in configuration with others sets, allowing golfers to use the TW-X long irons in sets to gain distance and control.
Who are they for?
Honma makes it clear—the TW-X irons are for golfers who demand a great look at address and appreciate the benefits of forged construction, but also want some extra distance and height on their shots. In other words, these golfers want the best of both worlds—great trajectory, ample forgiveness, as well as terrific look and feel. Want to play a blade, but recognize that won’t be the best move for your game? The TW-X is a great option and is available now in select stores and online.
