- In this video we look at some of the best golf clubs to come from Japan! For many years Japan has been looked upon as the best producer of forged golf irons in the world. Is this stereotype accurate? And which of Japan's golf club manufactures make the best products. Is it Honma and the TR20 driver or irons?

HEY EVERYONE! I hope this video finds you safe, well and happy ❤️ thank you for sharing your time with me
Check out Fourteen Golf and Epon. Fourteens are phenomenal and their wedges area some of the best I’ve ever hit (Vegas are easily number 1)
But get your hands on some Muira 201’s or 501’s. Unreal how good they feel.
Pron?
No, thank you for sharing this video! Great stuff....
Love the fact that when you kinda hooked the 1st iron shot the ‘i’ in the corner recommended the ‘how to shape any shot video’ 😂
Was it by accident...yes it was 😂
I caught that too, it was pretty epic :)
I love it when Pete is just *beaming* with happiness. Just makes my day :)
I really like videos like this because it is interesting to hear the backstories of these different manufacturers. I want to see more videos like this.
Wow, those clubs impressed me, looked like you enjoyed them too!! Especially those irons into the greens!! Great video as ever Peter, very enjoyable 👍🏻👏🏻
You’re very quickly becoming my favorite CZcams personality Peter. Love your stuff and I suspect I’d like whatever content you made golf related or not.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Another great informational video. Keep up the great content, and keep supplying us with great information. Truly appreciated
I’ve been playing Mizuno MP-33 blades since ‘05 and I still love them. Large amount of wear and tear on the PW, 9, and 8 but they still perform beautifully. Nothing feels like a Mizuno!
I have not seen you that happy in a long time, I really like learning about clubs from unknown makers.
I’ve had the TR20 driver in the bag for a couple months now and absolutely love it!!!! Glad to see Honma getting some love.
I just bought a set of Miura's and so far have loved my first two rounds with them.
The sound is just perfect
Your videos are not only informative but they are fun your little story telling sections are pure gold, top man mr finch 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️⛳️
Tiger's irons in his heyday were forged by Endo (the makers of Epon). This is now well documented and can be googled easily. Endo also forges a lot of the high-end OEM forged irons, especially for Srixon and Mizuno. I hit them all in my fitting and loved the Mura, Epon's, and Mizuno Forged JPX. I ended up with the Epon's based on personal feel and looks. I get a little more distance from them as well so that doesn't hurt :)
I don't know what it is about japanese irons, but I have always loved the feel of them. I have yet to play a Miura Iron, but Mizuno mp20 and Honma TW-747 V are almost equal in my mind in regards to looks, feel, forgiveness and distance. They're perfect to me. Nothing else has felt quite the same.
I actually currently play Vega blades and im glad to see someone actually talking about them! Especially someone like Peter.
Wow Pete... Both iron models, and the driver look great. Especially the simplicity of that driver - like you said, that’s the biggest surprise. Shame you forgot about Srixon, but there are a few other smaller Japanese brands too: Yonex, Epon, PRGR, and then these four - OnOff, Roddio, Fourteen Golf and GIII - all part of the Globeride stable, formerly known as Daiwa. There are some beautiful irons and wedges that come out of Japan, that’s for sure. Loving your vids, cheers from a re-lockdown Melbourne 🇦🇺
This is my favourite video you’ve done!! Amazing Pete. Love it 🙌
Thanks Alex
I love how after he draws the shot at 9:50 a suggestion link for his shot shaping video pops up in the top right
Most enjoyable to watch and hear your sense of the Honma's Peter. I play Miz's too and I love them.
This was a great review. Really wanting a set of Japanese Forged irons and this helped me make my decision toward Honma. I will hold you responsible if I don’t like the feel! 😉
Early tee-times...love the sound of a driver when it's this quiet Mr.Finch! Humble opinion, I couldn't justify the price for a full set of most of the Japanese "specials"...it'd be fun testing them though! As an add-in, 2017, 10th hole tee shots at Vilamoura...brilliant from you and Rick both, just outstanding! Still ranks in my Top 5 ever seen!
Just stumbled on your video 3 years after its release. A newbie golfer here since May of 2023. I just got the Mizuno T22 lob wedge and out of the Taylormade irons, Callaway Mavrik wood 5, Cobra driver F8, the Mizuno lob wedge sounds and feels the best!
I’m on my third set of Mizuno’s and for me with the fittings that they offer and the quality nothing feels like a Mizuno.
I recently purchased a set of ancient (1980s) mizuno ms-1s off ebay and I love them. Very workable and surprisingly forgiving, if a little high- flighted.
I just got a hybrid by XXIO last night on Yahoo auctions here in Japan. I had never heard of Maraging but it is a special metal used in XXIO clubs. I have a XXIO set and this hybrid will complete my set. The first hit with my XXIOs sold me and I have tried all kinds of clubs.
I have used Mizuno since I started and I love them.
I just bought the Honma TR21x irons and my thoughts on them are summed up at 17:21 in this video. I'm on the way up to Carl's golfland to buy the TR460 driver now. I'm actually replacing a set of Mizuno JPX-EZ irons I was playing previously. Just time to get away from the game-improvement range and move towards the "better players" clubs.
I always like to watch your video's where you go out to play or test things, because in my opinion you have one of the most beautifull swings in the business
Honma 747p is also incredibly fun, well priced, great distance and trendy looking, really nice irons
I play Epon AF 305 the new model and I find them perfect for me. Easy to middle, easy to move left or right up or down. The relief on the front and back of the sole makes turf interaction in any condition soft. They as most Japanese clubs are a little on the heavy side, but at my age that helps with the distance. Highly recommended
Great film. Funny. Balanced. Knowledgeable. Like rick.
I’ve got a set of forged Honma’s. I went in to buy clubs that felt the best to me. And they are pure. I am so stoked with my honma’s. I tried em all and was left with honma mizuno and Bridgestone (all Japanese clubs). I tried the Titleist etc but the feel on these is outrageous
I see lots of Japanese tourist here in Hawaii with honmas and they look awesome. I
Liked EAL trip to the miura factory, super cool how they made custom clubs for EAL. thanks for doing this and you and your family stay safe.
I retired my Titleist persimmons this year and replaced them with Mizunos and have been very happy with the results. Had a Callaway driver and gave it away after getting the Mizuno which I currently have set at 11-1/2 degrees which gets me just as far as the Callaway set at 10-1/2 degrees. Not going to change my Callaway irons yet, but when I do I'll be looking at Mizuno first.
Hi Peter, love your videos. I have tried and played Srixon, Mizuno and Miura. My favorite and love are the Muira.
Nothing feels like a Mizuno. Agree 100%. I play the JPX EZ Forged irons and love them.
Great vid Pete!
Had a set of Yonex Cyberstar 280 Irons in the bag for over 10 years, really enjoy them, good solid traditional loft clubs. Still keep them as a 'spare' set for guests who cant or dont bring their own ! Switched to Ping late last year as I need a little more 'help' now !
I actually play an older Honma driver. Really easy to hit and the feel is really good. Thanks for the vids
Great video as always. I play Bridgestone j33 irons and they feel and play as well, if not better then my old mp60 irons. I am a sold in Japanese manufacturers.
Love your content bro! Keep it up
PRGR, TOURSTAGE, Fourteen are some! likely been mentioned. More on Honma. When I first came to Japan 20 years ago Honma had stores in most cities in Japan. And that was where you had to buy them. They gradually went he way of the dodo when the bubble burst here. Keep up the good work! ty
Vids like this one are the reason why I’m subscribed to you. You’re so likable and fun to watch. Would be great if I could play a round of golf with you some day.
I have the TW 747P Honma irons. They are absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend them!
Love to see you get the irons set to you lie angle, and then use a driver shaft that fits you better. The irons are definitely not “draw-biased”. I play the P/V combo
Hi Peter
Thanks for show casing the Japanese brands - I have been through the gambit of manufactures and salesman pitches of most brands . I have been using Fourteen brand for the past few years - absolutely love them they are soft and true . Just recently ran into a deal couldn’t refuse on some Miuras ( wow ) .
Not as long but they are the most accurate and forgiving I’ve had my hands on ! My overall opinion is Japanese irons and wedges are worth the money to promote confidence and trust .
Again thanks for the video - keep on doing what you do it’s much appreciated.
Peter, personally I love my Epon AF 505 with Accra Shafts. Fitting at TXG in Canada last year and I must say the irons are fantastic.
i play the tr20p irons and absolutely love them
I game Honma 747V irons and their TW Wedges. The feel is unreal. Really good feedback out of these clubs.
Enjoyed that, but I’ll patiently await your Srixon review - 😁 just ordered a set of Z785 irons, can’t wait to get them out on the golf course 😁
I like Srixon, not because of their clubs, but the Z Star XV. Slightly firmer ball, feels great to me! Still has a lot of spin, too.
Just invested in the Tr20p’s love them, the feel off the face is fantastic
Seems like you have a new love there!! Ball flight looked incredible.
Hi Finch, I started golf at age of 47 years old and now it has been 2 years. hahaha pretty old to start the hobby. I use Honma BeZeal, I love it because the club face is bigger and easier to hit. I didn't realised golf is not an easy game. I had tried few iron from leading brand but I can't hit it well. I think Honma is the best because it very forgiving and make me enjoy looking at the ball flying high. I have Taylormade now but still love my Honma.
I had a Set of Epon great clubs and the Moira CB 501 when you hit with Bridgestone ball it was like butter,thanks
I play mizuno jpx921 pro. Love them. I just purchased a Honma tr20 460 and it's the best driver I've ever owned, and I have owned a bunch of drivers over the years.
Thanks for the great video. Would you recommend the TR 20 P to a 12 handicapp? Or should I buy more forgiving clubs?
Top reviews Pete 👏🏼
Playing a 10 years old set of Mizuno my 59, love it
First of all it so nice that you have finally tested some Honma clubs, I was waiting for this video all the time.
In the point of how good they feel I am completely with you Pete. Five years ago I had a fitting for my irons and I tested the Mizuno MP18 SC against the Honma TW 727 V. The feeling of both clubs was incredible and maybe the Honma were slightly softer in feel. In the end I went for the Honma, maybe because of the reason that nobody was using them at that time and honestly till now, I am not regretting that I have bought them. I am still in love with them.
In my opinion the older TW version looks definitely better than the new TR series.
Hello Niklas!!! Liked your comment. I have the same story. I was fit for Mizuno MP18 SC. I used it for 3-4 yrs. I went on to visit a Golf shop and tested Honma TW 737 V. The feel was superb and the looks upon addressing the ball is far better than Mizuno. More workability for shot shape. Actually, someone from the Golf store asked me to try Honma TW 747 but for his surprise, I was hitting the 737 better than the 747. Even my twin brother who has Mizuno MP18 SC was surprised about Honma TW 737 when he visited me here last month in CA. I urged you to try Honma TW 737 V. You will like it!!! I haven't tried the TR series yet.
gamed the Honma TW-X for the last 12 months when i lost my swing. just switched over to Vega VM-02 which are also lovely of the face.
Currently gaming previous Honma irons. Mixed set of Rose Proto and 747V. Coming from forged Mizuno set, Honma irons feel so much better. No doubt. Also, they perform so well.
Should have included Srixon, massively underrated in my opinion...
I thought Srixon was part of a French ownership company.
Sumitomo tires
and bridgestone
@@Gen10civic AKA Dunlop
I love my Srixon irons. So long and so forgiving.
Just bought a set of kyoei forged Vega vdc-01 irons and tt dg shafts. Can't wait to play a round with them.
Great to see JDM equipment as the subject of one of your videos. You should do a part 2 because a lot of good JDM's were not mentioned. Yonex has been around for a while and was played on PGA by Michelson and Montgomery and unlike the other JDMs mentioned in the video, Yonex makes their own graphite shafts. Other JDMs are Fourteen, Seven, and XXIO just to name a few.
Great video Peter most interesting. I play Srixon but Mizuno good too. The CLK hybrid is sensational.
My first driver was a Honda persimmon wood driver. That was a beast back then.
Tourstage/Bridgestone, OnOff, PRGR, Epon, Fourteen, Yamaha, Yonex.... the list goes on. So many excellent clubs come out of Japan. You'll be testing for a while mate.
I picked up a nakashima np1 driver years ago. Still in the bag. Solid club
I am playing the XXIO Prime clubs for the 1st time and absolutely love them. Keep up the good work and greetings from Canada. 🇨🇦
The Prime series are more for amateur higher handicappers with big cash. I am playing their Tour Specials, with S shafts, all the Primes have R shafts, cheers.
@@jimbeaver27 Hope you are having as much fun and success with your Tour Specials as I am with the Prime. My current handicap index is 8.0 with a scoring average of 81.2 for 37 rounds.
👍 for that beautifully executed heel kick
Hi pete, i had miura irons (the blades) and wow they were amazing
Great vid pete!
I have a single Miura Iron. The plan at the time was to buy a single iron every few months till I had a set. Like most plans it didn't survive contact with reality. But that is by far the best single iron I've ever hit.
Just picked up my set TR20P, 4-GW Modus 105 Stiff. Great feeling and gained 10 yards per iron which is what I was looking for
I swapped from Mizuno to Srixon a few years ago and stuck with them ever since. .. but I still go to Mizuno demo's every year out of curiosity to see if they can drag me back.. but nope. Would love to try the Honma's though. Cool vid Pete 👍
I play Miura would never change, Japan's best for mine, they hit straight, weight is perfect and consistent, forgiving, smooth off the club face and the ball stops dead on landing on the green from 4 iron to LW. I used to play forged Brisgestone Precept Tour premiums from early 2000's they were nice when hit well but a bit less forgiving. KBS $ taper is a lovely shaft as well in the 201's.
Great vid! . Would be good to see a course review of the Srixon Forged range.
My short list of JDM - Japanese Domestic Market Manufacturers - Anything forged by Endo . The brand is Epon but they forge for many like OnOff , Yamaha and others like Srixon. I played Mizuno for 20 years and bought a set of OnOff 2015 Kuro Irons and they pushed Mizuno out of my bag and nothing feels better . I tried Miura as well and the Endo forging is the best in the business.
I agree there are clubs that feel better then Mizuno but nothing feels "Like" a Mizuno for me, still stands.
I've got the MP 60s.
Such a unique thing!
Love the video!
Great video love you Pete
Great vid Pete! I'd be interested in your thoughts regarding the mizuno m craft putters too!
The first hole 😆😆😆😆 love it Pete
I play the Honda TW747 Vx, love them, love the 10 as the wedge 😅 Played Epon prior to this, they were amazing, edged out the Honma on feel, had them for 9 years just wore them out! Miura amazing as well, just love Japanese clubs. Had an S-Yard driver and 3 wood for a while and they were really amazing as well. Try a few more brands, you have to try Miura 👍🏻
I just like these videos.. good job! U should have more followers!
still playing old Mizuno Tzoid True Irons and I love them
Classic heads. Original Rifle shafts?
I use the Bridgestone J40 DPC irons. Best looking and feeling irons I have ever owned.
Nice job Peter. Would love to see someone review the Miura Baby Blades, one of the best clubs for many golfers apparently - but no info. Do us all a flavour.
Brilliant vid Pete! Heres to hoping you've recovered from the 11gate!!!
I'm currently gaming the old Yonex ADX tour forged irons with Yonex's LTB600 graphite shaft (stiff), similar to the irons Michelson gamed when he was contracted by them. I have a 10i in my set as well. Best irons I've ever hit with.
I've played Daiwa irons in the past and still play a set of Yonex ADX Tour (Mickelson played these) irons that are about 25 years old and still look brand new. 2-10, PW and SW.
Bridgestone/Tourstage, Onoff, Maruman, Epon, Yamaha
Great video. Great shots. By the way...how many drivers do you have in the bag?! Goodness 😀
The swing looks great
Looking forward to a comparison between Mizuno & Srixon...... Can’t decide between the two...... need to test extensively 😃⛳️😃
I got a 4-PW set of Miura MC-501 earlier this year with KBS $-Taper 130 Black Steel shafts and Lamkin Sonar Standard+ grips. Wedges are Mizuno S18 Gunmetal Black in 50, 54, 58 degrees. I love these clubs and would only consider replacing the irons with another set of the same when these are worn out. I’d be willing to upgrade the wedges to Miura K-Grinds but I really don’t think it will be necessary given how much feel the Mizunos have. Now if I can just figure out my woods...
Hey mate just wanna say loving your videos all the way from Australia keep it up mate
Cheers bud
THIS WAS GREAT PETE, WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FURTHER MORE IN DEPTH REVIEW....
Hi I love your vids keep up the good work.
