Got the Honma TW-X irons and they are a dream. When I got the I was just walking by and saw them and thought they looked amazing and hit them and fell in love. Honma was never on my radar till that day.
TXG did a TW-X review. The boys loved em.
@@garydavis8213 I saw that after I got mine. Made really feel like I made a solid purchase.
I‘m quit lucky to own a full Honma Beres 3star iron set and a full set of forged Titleist tour blades, 2 total different worlds. The blades are much more precise, but they have no mercy. As soon as I‘m unhappy with my game I use them.
On the other hand the feeling of the Honma is incomparable to anything else, you can’t describe it in words. It‘s just crazy.
I paid 6000€ in 2010 for a new set, but it‘s totally worth it. I play already for 28 years now, and I only bought 2 sets and I still use them on a weekly base.
All the poser that I see on the driving range with the new newest Tailormade/Callaway set are speechless when they hear/see the performance of the HONMA, and they are long-lasting, so it cost me less.
Don‘t get me wrong I always had, and still have Callaway/Tailormade Woods! I got stuck on squared ones (FTIQ 1W, FTI3W/5W)
I bought the TW 747 460 driver and have been very pleased with the performance only negative I have is the sound. I picked it up for $179 brand new after your video. Keep up the great work!!
I used to live in Australia in the 90s and Honma were very popular. Probably because other mainline brands such as Titleist and Mizuno were less available and considerably more expensive.
Sold my Mizuno JPX 919 set. Bought the Honma XP-1 set (5i - 11i). Shafts are 68 gram Sakata (Honma made) graphite. My handicap dropped 4 strokes. Purchased the set new from Maple Hill Golf, USA. $549, free shipping.
I owned a set of Taylormade RSis previously. I got a proper fitting and one of the irons I tried was Honma in addition to the regular available brands. I fell in love with the feel and performance of the Honmas. They were expensive but I thought of this as an investment since I was fitted properly. Still love them after five years!
My old yonex irons bought 25 years ago paid 1500 squid then !! no one seemed to play them seem to have gone of the radar completely now serious build quality , faces never marked best clubs I ever owned
I bought a set of carbon irons 6,7,8,9,10,11 with regripped thick handle….440$
I fell in love the moment I saw them.
(Living in Phnom Penh Cambodia, bought at a Japanese shopping center shop)
Found a set Honma TR20P locally for £450.00, going to look at tomorrow.
Modus Nippon 120 X Flex shafts and Golf Pride MMC +4 Midsize Align grips, 2 degrees upright and 1/2 inch longer than standard. exactly what I was measured for Ping G425's.
Havent told the wife yet
Simon, I saw a set of Honma BERES 4 Star S07 Regular Graphite 5-11 A Wedge and S/W, 9 Irons on ebay this week for £260.I messaged the seller and they turned out to be Chinese Copies from Wish, not Homna at all, so beware, all glisters is not gold.
I own two sets of Honma Irons.
I own or have owned many brands of top line clubs.
Best thing I can say about Honma is, most beautiful and also the purest I’ve ever struck.
Outstanding turf interaction and distance control.
Be blessed.
I use Honma tw747 woods, with rogue shafts, and there fantastic, Honma are excellent quality, as are all the Japanese clubs
Took your advice and got a set of TW-X used in basically mint condition, can’t wait to hit them
Must be a hard pill to swallow for some people that shelled out thousands when they first came out and can't get rid of them for love nor money! Great video, really enjoyed watching!
Bought a set online where they looked great,looked like shovels when they came,massive heads...bought new m2 irons ( can still buy them new)lovely
Great content Simon. Glad to see you’re videos popping back up again 👍
Look local, picked a set of Miura irons 5 - pw up for £180 and great condition 👍
Scored a set of these gently used for $430 USD...got them all bent 2 degrees weak and they are perfection!!!
Weak means back toward being with less offset right?
I play a set of Honma CL708 and they are great!
i really like what you say about making an iron test video in a basement! ha, . my annoyance , welll, the main one , is putter testing! , the most pointless thing ever! yet you still see it. i think the better known youtubers have run out of ideas. i love your honesty
I had played Honma 717p for 4 years and only changed them last year. Prices went up when Rose went to them but dropped like a stone when he left. Crazy. In a year or so I will probably look for 1 set in particular but dont want to say here coz they might go up too. 🙈🙈🤣🤣
Simon in your opinion where would you spend your golf pound to get the best golfing experience ie equipment, tuition or golf club membership?
I play the honma tr 20 v. Love them! I got a brand new set 4-pw at my work after discounts for $240!! Best deal out there
yo hook it up
I bought 1, & 3 woods and 19deg & 24deg Utility clubs. after watching your video about the driver. They are great clubs.
I just picked a new set of TR20P iron set. My current set is TW747V. I love them but I would like to try little more forgiving irons. TW 747V feel is so much better than Mizuno. Almost like Miura.
I have 2 sets of left hand Honma persimmon woods (brand new, never played)
The TR20 V are great clubs. I cane very close to buying them.
So glad I came across this channel... dude seriously awesome content keep it up you have a new subscriber!!!
Great content bro, beard game is strong 💪🏻
Working my way through the full collection 👍🏻
Fourteen irons are also super underrated
3 best high quality brands for exceptional deals. Snake Eyes, Srixon, VEGA.
I was thinking about buying a BeZeal 535 4-12 iron set
Great vid👏👏
I picked up an S-Yard U101 A Wedge for a few quid at the local driving range. Do you know anything about S-Yard clubs???
Keep up the good work
Syard are top quality japanese golf clubs I use the Syard graphite exe lite irons and fairway woods perfect for me. hcp 15
I still have my Exim golf clubs since 2005. Got them when I was in Japan and they was a bit pricey then
I use Syard japanese clubs
Forged cavity blades,love japanese golf clubs. Higher quality sure
I look for XXIO'S Prime but never see them at a reasonable price.
Simon, I love your cap. Is it a Puma cap.
Good Morning! The reason why is, because the people are having tomatoes on her eyes and do nit see that they are victims of marketing campains. Do anybody know where taylormade for exampke forges his blades/irons? In which factory? At the end high qualuity irons are manufactured by japanese companies, maybe by miura who are forging a container full of clubheads for other brands (titleist? Taylormade?...) . And hinma is one of the absolut premium companies who are forging irons in a standard other never reach. I own a set since the 1990s, and the complete set was made so exact that the weight of each single club was in a range of 1/10 gramm. Honma is producing the set totally in his company and not selling heads to a shop who is assembling the set with shafts and grips - all this is done by honma and absolut exact. Miura is sending heads to shops and fitters who build at the end the club, but also in high quality so that at the end these two companies are building on two different ways absolut high class quality clubs you never get at popular brands.
Lee Trevino won in the 1980s the masters with a honma persimmon driver and I know tour professionells who used honma irons/blades for privat because of the quality. One of the problöems honma has is, that asian people are shorter in size than european or us people so that the length of a irons is a 0.25 inch shorter and the lie more flat. If you make the club longer, the swing weight grows up and many people do not like this - at the end the size of a us brand is more made for the people in the west world. Mizuno now changed at the new series this and the clubs/irons are as long as the irons "made" by taylormade or titleist. Maybe hinma also should do this step.
Thanks for yor neutral view on good golf clubs! Stay safe!
Good stuff as always thanks G ~
Just picked up a set 5-11 for $599 brand new!
I had no idea u were selling them. They are amazing sticks
These are almost as nice looking as my MP60's ;)
i tried them but got Cally DCB 21. Honma is just clever marketing.
SOLD on April 21, 2023
Minty, Honma Golf TR20-P US Graphite Forged Blade Iron Set #4-10 Stiff Right-Handed - $529.99 + taxman!!!
Yikes
✌out
Just bought a set honma pp-727 tour model 3 to 10 for 200 euro. 😊
Got a set on TR21X coming soon. 😁
Why would you hit them if someone else has bought them?
Why didn't anyone buy Nike irons? Tiger used them.
My experience with Japanese niche brands since getting into trading clubs in Australia is as follows.
Bought a maruman set, beautiful looking cavity backs with golf inlays but could never find the model, bought for $200, sold for $700 after a few months.
Just recently purchased a set of Fourteen TC 660 irons for similar price, will be interested to see how much they sell for, but also how long it takes for a person to buy. It's a hard sell at the price vs all the big western brands and thier marketing and advertising.
Have no problem paying 550 on these when 20 year old Callaway irons are going for £250.
Where do you sell your golf clubs do you have a link?
I got a driver and Woods and hybrids that would go with them
Simon can you look at seven golf brand
I’ll take them!
Hey mate they do look lovely could you pleaee do a video on my mizuno t-zoid mx-15 please. Im not sure if i should stay with them ore save up around £200/£300 and get new irons but i really want to get the kirkland 3 wedges from costco
Do you have any Srixon Z585’s? I would love to get my hands on a 4-pw set
Aliexpress full set 270.00
how much for those Miura irons?
I have looked at Homna irons and currently at a Homna driver. The one thing I've seen is they seem to be counterfeited a lot. Positive I might not be able to tell the difference except by price.
Honma
I have to say they look great those irons , I’d be happy with a set 👍🏌️♀️⛳️
Didn’t rose get rid of them
Too expensive to consider when you have lots of other choices.
Sell them, hit them!
OK cause there too expensive lol 😆and the label is well not as big as say PXG in da bag 🤣
Thanks for watching guys! Need to get some new golf shoes.... any suggestions?
Nike air all day long
Just bought some duca del cosma shoes, unbelievable quality and comfort!!
Skechers.....
Footjoy Pro SL. Super light and comfortable. My first spikeless shoe and they are so good I will never go back to spiked golf shoes.
Crocs Ace Golf shoes. Cuz what the use of living without a good laugh?
Niche product to begin with... And then the world number one (at the time) basically labelled them as useless and would rather get rid of them than take the sponsorship money.
Any non-pro who buys a new, full priced set is a complete mug.
Because Rose dropped them like spoiled fruit, I figure.
Honma is fine but their contracting policies and freedoms are probably on Nintendo levels of Japanese business.
Lot of fake on EBay
I think it’s because they look cheap despite their prices when new. There also seem alot of fake irons from that region in my experience which makes it a riskier buy.
Too expensive.
Yuk. They look like a club foot.
I got the tw-x irons 4-11 for $499 brand new from PGA Superstore two years ago.
Blah, blah, blah...why don't you get to the point?
Holly s@#$ I wish I was paying more attention to your EBay account. I would of loved to pick those up. Simon I left you a dm a while ago and I have a few sets up irons a few drivers and woods I'm going to sell. I wanted to give you first dibs and a good price. I've always like what you've done for us golfer's and the information you provided us. Hit me up on messenger if you want to chat about it. Tc mate
