What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the TW727 P is 30° and the TW727 Vn is 34°, a 4° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the TW727 P should carry roughly 12 to 16 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the TW727 Vn. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the TW727 Vn averages 3.2° weaker, with the largest gap at the 7-iron (30° vs 34°). Beyond loft, the TW727 P 7-iron is 0.25 inches longer (37" vs 36.75").
The sets are built differently: the TW727 P runs 3-iron to SW (10 clubs), the TW727 Vn 3-iron to 10-iron (8 clubs).
The TW727 P is a players distance iron and the TW727 Vn a blade iron, so they sit 2 steps apart on the forgiveness scale. The TW727 P is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The TW727 Vn trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently.
The TW727 P is listed as forged, two-piece (maraging stainless face welded to a mild-steel body) and the TW727 Vn as forged. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
Both sets were introduced in 2015, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: Honma designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The TW727 Vn is the weaker-lofted set — up to 4° weaker than the TW727 P. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
