Honma Irons From Wish.Com

[JuliWooli]

Hello all,

As English is my second language, I hope you will allow for grammar mistakes.

I love the spell correction!

I recently bought a set of Honma Irons from Wish.com and as they were only 650$, I think they were worth the risk.

They came in November, so I only had one chance to try the 9 iron on the range.

Wow!

I was hitting the 9 120 metres+. for a Mädel thats not bad.

My question...

A friend told me that honma mess with the lofts and I should consider a 9 from this set equivalent to an 8 from other sets.

Is this true?

Welcome to TheSandTrap!

I don't know about Honma in particular, but many newer irons have stronger lofts than irons have traditionally had.  I know this is true of the Titleist T200 irons that I started using early this past year.     What matters isn't really the number on the club, its that you know how far each club goes.

Welcome to the forum. As Dave said it really doesn't matter what the lofts are. As long as you know how far you hit each club. 
If you really want to know the lofts it is usually pretty easy to get the specifications for sets of irons on-line. 

Honma, like every other manufacturer of golf equipment, has some sets that are strong lofted and some that are traditional lofted. I don't know which set you have, but with Honma the Beres irons tend to be stronger lofts where as the TW 747's are more traditional. 

Either way, enjoy them.

The number on the club means NOTHING. Look on the website of the club and find the loft to compare to other clubs.

Not totally on topic , but I believe Wish sell a lot of fake clubs.

Rick Shiels bought a Taylormade driver from wish and it was so bad that the injection ports on the club face were just painted on.  Unless the Honma irons are an older model I'd get them checked although if they are fake getting a refund from wish may be tough.

Like has been said, if a deal looks to good to be true it probably is. Hope they are genuine though.

I'm looking forward to the course opening around April so that I can try them properly. Nearest driving range is 100 km. I'm not that desperate. Set looks really good. No paint jobs or plastic trimming.

This was a one off deal.

To be continued...

Wish as is with most Chinese internet business is not to be trusted.
