What GolfWRXers are saying about Honma equipment
In our forums, our members have been talking all things Honma. WRXer ‘Kyengtae3’ kicks off the thread saying:
“I myself have Honma TW737V Irons and TW747 Driver. They both feel amazing but not so consistent on the driver.”
‘Kyengtae3’ wants to know what WRXers have to say on Honma equipment, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and experiences in our forums.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Dpavs: “I think they are one of the underappreciated companies out there. You can see their strategy and club development evolving to get more attention and hit that part of the middle market they have been missing. I hope it pays off for them and for us as golfers.”
- Nailedit: “I have the 747v irons and TW-W wedges. They’re as good as anything out there really. But they lack custom options and store availability. If they could get a fitting cart in a few more places they would give Mizuno and Srixon some competition.”
- widow-maker: “Honma makes great equipment. It’s just a preference of whether they’re for you or not. But the quality of their clubs is not in question.”
- cbputts17: “Just got fit into the new TR20 irons at club champion. I went with TR20V in 6-10 and TR20P in 4&5 irons. The set flows together really nicely. Coming from a GI set that fit me very poorly, the new clubs have helped my game a ton. Index has come down from a 9.5 at the beginning of the month to 4.6 right now. Driving the ball better now too, but the irons have helped a ton.”

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
