HONMA T//WORLD TR20 P VERDICT

-

◆ Availabili­ty 5-10 (PW), 11 (GW) ◆ STOCK SHAFTS Nippon Modus 3 (s), Honma Vizard TR65 (g) ◆ 7-IRON LOFT 30° ◆ FORGIVENES­S RATING 2.5

This year, forged iron fans are spoilt for choice as high profile launches have appeared from all the major brands. It doesn’t matter if you want muscleback­s, tour-level cavity backs or forged distance irons, there’s something for everyone in 2021. And credit where credit’s due – Honma have preached this sort of multi-pronged forged iron story for years. The TR20S are the latest in a long line of lovely forged Honma irons. And if you’re the sort of golfer who swears fast face irons are inconsiste­nt, the TR20 P will blow that thinking apart. The P dropped just 3.9% of ball speed (fourth best), 10.6% of backspin (third) and 10 yards of carry (sixth) between on- and off-centre hits, all from a really desirable head shape that was also our fifth-longest players distance iron. If you find yourself undecided between the TR20 P and the weaker lofted (no fast face) TR20 V, our pro carried the P 7-iron seven yards further.
