Honma TR21X
7 clubs
Our take: Honma’s newest line of irons take various cues from past iterations and combine them into one. Tungsten weighting is tucked deep within the clubhead to aid those mis-hits. And to at least one tester, it really stood out. “Could totally see myself playing these,” they said. “Looks like the TR20 B I liked, but the forgiveness and speed is on another level. Almost feels like cheating on the mishits.” That’s a big-time endorsement.
Honma TR21X
The details: This Honma variety incorporates a slightly bigger clubhead for a little added security blanket, both at address and when contact isn’t perfect. The hollow blade iron body is filled with tungsten weight and a foam insert behind an L-Cup face for a wider sweet spot and more distance on strikes lower on the clubface. Honma describes it as their player’s distance model that should be welcoming for players looking to make a jump to a blade style iron.
