Introducing the newly released Honma Beres IS-05 Forged Iron – Honma has identified the key attributes desired by slower swingers seeking a game improvement iron, the first an a very important one is the fact that it’s still partly forged which is not so common in the game improvement iron segment this appeals to just about everyone who seeks the soft rewarding dense impact when the ball meets the face. Next Honma increased the overall heads dimensions over the outgoing IS-03 model both the face height and length heel to toe has been increased by 1mm. A lot has been improved with the new IS-05, please click read more to learn about the differences…
Honma has removed all face welding which increases the size of the sweet spot and making the entire club face more forgiving with increased rebound, this is a very difference not to be overlooked as nearly all 2 piece heads require face welding to connect the two parts this expands the improved hitting zone by 25% for more carry and less distance loss on mishits.
It’s still got a fairly thick top line with noticeable offset helping the higher handicap player have an easier, straighter, and longer iron shot experience. Men who want straighter longer shots usually senior players will benifit from this new design or also ladies who have a slightly faster swing speed than other women.
It’s materials consist of a soft forged body combined with a hot maraging steel face similar to what would be used in a utility wood it’s finish is beautiful a double layer process utilizing a beautiful brushed satin + inner painted cavity.
The new ARMRQ Infinity shafts are the standard offereing these shafts now feature improved shot performance with the new material TT1100G added to the ARMRQ’s already excellent high modulus carbon 8 Axis weave.
Available in 2, 3, 4, and 5 star models with each upgrade there are changes in the head and obviously the shaft, when moving up into the 4 and especially the 5 star seires Honma clubs a plethora of custom options become available to you in regards to performance, customer requests, shaft paint and color and even characteristics.
Standard base setup is #6 thru 11 irons (6pcs) with optional #4/5/AW/SW. Many custom options are available via TourSpecGolf done at the Sakata Factory and you can see the full list of options and place your order by “clicking here“.
This one looks great at address. I like the gold cavity design. It looks like a rich mans iron.
I am gaming the is-03 irons for a year now. Very forgiving with good feel. I am debating on getting these too….
The newly released IS-05 model has many improvements but both models have high reviews. If you want the latest release go for it! You won’t be disappointed.
I am a hadicap 7 and a mid aged player. My wife recently gave me a Beres IS-05 3 star stiff shaft as a present, this iron set is very forgiving and can easily improve your game. I get extra yards on my iron shots.
Great iron set…
It’s worth the investment…
Highly recommended…
Wow I wish my wife would buy gifts like that! I need to hide my golf purchases from her. She would go crazy! LOL
Hi Ernest, Thank you for the review. Yes, I agree these are forgiving game improvement irons. Thanks, Chris
I am interested in the new honma irons. I thought the IE-05 were game improvement. But I see that the IS-05 is too. Can you help me choose which is best for me?
Both IE and IS is for the slower swinger. But the IE series is larger, thicker, more off-set and for even the slower swinger than the IS series. The BZeal is in between the Tour World models and IS models.
Looking forward to the Bzeal vs IS-05 reveiw
