What GolfWRXers are saying about Honma clubs
In our forums, our members have been discussing Honma. WRXer ‘SeaIsland’ kicks off the thread expressing his surprise that the brand isn’t more popular and reaches out to fellow members looking for “constructive and experienced” feedback on the company’s clubs.
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.
- TigerInTheWoods: “I had the Honma Rose Proto for a short spell before getting my dream irons. They were fantastic. Plan was to game them for the coming season.”
- CJINC: “I have the 747 driver and 3 wood in regular flex. One the best combo’s I have ever owned. Tried the driver in stiff and switched to regular flex. Perfect for my swing. The stock shaft is very good, similar to a stock Mizuno shaft. The driver to my eye is pretty square to my eye, and being lefty is rare. Very good dispersion and long. Need to try the 747p irons in regular flex. The stiff flex was too stiff. Had the wedges and did not get along at all with them at all.”
- Freeze: “I’ve been playing the tw 747p irons since early last summer and think they are fantastic. Very well made, easy to hit, forgiving, long, have a terrific sole design, and little to no offset. They have retired my old TourStages to the garage, something multiple sets of other high-end clubs have been unable to do. They get a big “thumbs up” from me (for what that’s worth).”
- wam78: “I think Honma makes incredible irons and really should focus on educating the public about how great they are. We all know drivers move the needle. And Honma woods are pretty damn good as well. They look classic with minimal designs, which I love. However, their irons are as good as any and feel incredible. They did something pretty awesome when the 747 line was released. PGA Superstore had an entire hitting bae set up just for Honma and had an entire set of 747v irons on demo to try, 4-PW. No other OEM was doing that. It was pretty awesome to test the entire set. I came very close to bagging the 747v irons and probably will bag a set at some point.”
Entire Thread: “Honma – anyone have a constructive, experienced opinion?”

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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
