Who plays Honma?

Who plays with this bran in the bag? And what do you think about this products? I've tried Honma Kiwami forged irons and I love it! Great feel and huge distance irons (lofts are very close)..

I have the IC-01 irons in my bag and they are great all around!

Pretty much all my friend's parents who golf play Honma... Older folks (primarily Asian) spread the word that these were the "best" so now a lot of older Asian people who want to be noticed by other older Asian people play Honma. It's like old man golf course bling. They like to brag about how much their clubs cost. I played with a guy last week who had the 5 stars, said they were just over $1k PER IRON. That's nuts to me.

My mother, a soon 70 year old single digit handicaper (non- asian and couldn't care less what other people thought about her clubs), played a set for many years. Not sure what model. She kept trying to replace them since they were getting more and more worn out, but kept putting them back since she never liked anything as good as them. Now they are totally worn out (she's retired and plays golf all the time, lucky bastxxx) and she's replaced them for good. But she doesn't like her new set of Callaways at all as much. Just don't think there's anywhere near her to get Honmas. She bought her old set on a trip to Japan.
