gocchin Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Honma has worked hard over the last few years to shed the reputation of being an "old mans club" and "rich man's status club". When they launched the Beres line a few years ago they wanted to show they could be mainstream and create clubs that not only look expensive but perform as good as any club from Japan. I just got the new athlete model MG803 and I believe watching Honma now in the 3rd generation of Beres, that they are accomplishing what they set out to do. The iron is fabulously designed and the workmanship is fantastic as is expected of something in this price range and 100% made in Japan by Honma masters in Sakata. The MG803 is high tech featuring a very small pocket cavity and nickel tungsten weight in the back towards the heel and toe (5g x 2). The 3-7 irons features this pocket 2 piece design while the 8-SW are a 1 piece design for feel and control. The one I have is shafted with Honma's new ARMRQ UD54 shaft, a very high end carbon weave that is as good as any shaft in the Japanese market. This iron is aimed at the better golfer and fits between compact and mid sized. Judging from its size, low handcappers can definitely play this performance oriented iron and mid cappers who are good ball strikers would be proud to own this hot rod... This iron gets released later this month but in the meantime here are some pics I took as it was a beautiful day today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
