What is Honma BeZeal? First off it’s the best selling Honma line in Japan because it fills the companies only gap between the players segment and the game improvement side. The athlete player uses the Tour World TW727 series while the game improvement or senior segment plays the Beres S-05 and E-05 products but what about the golfers in between? This is where BeZeal comes in and this is the sweet spot in size, forgiveness and performance that most average players fit into.
More forgiveness and distance than the TW727 series yet with less offset and size than the Beres line, today we cover the BeZeal Irons follow the Jump for more info and photos…
As you can see from the above image there is an obvious leading edge grind and a sole not as narrow as the TW line or as thick as the Beres series, the satin finish is also very high high end as are all Honma Clubs from the Sakata Factory.
Unlike the TW series the BeZeal irons have titanium constructed faces for big distance and forgiveness this is unique because usually only larger sized heads feature this material.
The lofts are also very strong on these irons you can get a good idea of how strong looking at the pitching wedge PW it is 41.5* but that doesn’t mean they go low, the CG locations have been optimized so that short irons land soft and launch higher with more spin than other irons helping the average player produce spin and stopping power on the greens.
As you can see here moderate offset, not minimal like Tour World irons and not a lot like Beres, just right for most people. Honma has also created an inner cavity within the head with 10 grams of tungsten weight to further lower the center of gravity design to optimize launch angles differently in different clubs.
A three sided sole design has been adopted which helps turf interaction and heavy perimeter weighting near the sole has been added to increase MOI.
The base set is# 6-11 which when you consider the strong lofts covers a wide range of distances, optional #4/5/AW/SW clubs are available as well. this gaps out nicely in the short irons from #10 at 41.5* to #11/46.5 to AW/51.5 and SW/56.0.
A new specially designed Vizard Shaft has been produced specifically for this line up using a material called Zxion of KB Seiren Co., Ltd. which has been used in high end tennis rackets and speaker cones. this helps reduce loss of power thru energy transfer keeping the shot on a stable path and direction
Hope you enjoyed the introduction, I was able to hit these on the launch monitor and they are really really good clubs, very long and forgiving and not overly chunky at all, it’s one of the smallest irons I’ve seen that utilities Ti face tech, it’s no wonder these are Honma’s #1 selling series in Japan. Available in the TSG Pro Shop by Clicking Here.
Finally Honma makes a more affordable game improvement line up. Do they offer the custom adjustments like the S & TW series?
Hi Kristofer,
Yes, they offer custom length change max 0.5″. And custom lie angle at Max 1.0* upright/flat. We added those options to the product listing in our shop.
Thanks,
Chris
you ‘re my son
Is there a steel shaft option for the BeZeal series?
All Honma Clubs are USGA approved, right?
Lastly, if I were to preorder a complete male and female Golf Set, could I pick up the items during my next visit to Japan?
If so, please email me the address or addresses where the items are available to be picked-up.
Thank you
Hi Norm,
Yes, all Honma golf cubs are USGA approved. Fortunately, the BeZeal irons offer many shaft options like the TW series. However, some shafts such as the KBS C-TAPER is difficult to assemble with standard balance. The swing weight will be heavier or lighter depending on the shaft chosen.
If you are visiting Japan, we can hold the clubs for you at our shipping department. And ship on a certain day to arrive the next day at your hotel in Japan. We actually do this for many customers.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, Chris
Beautiful irons. They look forgiving. Are there womens set for this Bezeal? I also want to know about shaft options. Is there ARMRQ shafts for these?
The Vizard shaft for BeZeal is the only carbon shaft offered for this series. And yes there is a full line up for women. We added them to the shop today.
Im interested in the irons. I went to the shop and there is too many shaft options. How do I learn what Vizard shaft is best for me…
We will add an article soon explaining the difference in Vizard shafts. For now you may see the Honma page listing the differences here: http://www.honmagolf.co.jp/en/item/vizard/
