Honma 747v irons...anyone playing?

[Anguz96]

Currently looking at a set of the TW747v’s as I’m moving on from my old P790’s (2017). Also looking at a set of p770’s (2017) as they look a little friendlier than the 747’s. Have done research on both and it looks like they’re both solid irons.

 

Has anyone gamed both? Any major differences? Thx in advance!

The 747vx look so much like Srixon's! (not a bad thing)   Its uncanny.

Update to my Honma status.  I still absolutely love my 747v's, but the gap between my 4i to 5i was way too small.  I originally was fitted into and ordered a P790 4i that gave me 7-10 more carry yards.  After waiting ~8 weeks on backorder, I found a glut of TW-X 4 irons on Ebay with my shaft (modus tour 105s) for half the cost of a new P790, so I took a flyer on it.  Canceled my P790 order and received my TW-X today.  Overall, it's a darn nice looking iron.  Certainly larger than the nearly butter knife 747v, but still pleasant to my eye.  I am anal about small offset and thin top lines, and the visuals don't bother me at all.  I'll report back when I actually hit it!

Bump...

 

curious if anyone compared the 747v to the tr20v?  Seems like the sole design has changed with the tr20v.  No more pre worn leading edge with more of a flat sole.  Shape still looks great, but I'm still debating grabbing some 747v heads.  Can't hit the tr20v locally.  Also, looks like the lofts got stronger with the tr20v's as well.  TIA.

I'm doing the exact same thing.  Just ordered the TW-X 5-iron and 4-iron to round out my 747V's.  Looking forward to giving these a go.
