What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the TW737 P is 30° and the TW737 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 TW737 P should carry roughly 12 to 16 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the TW737 Vn. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the TW737 Vn averages 3.2° weaker, with the largest gap at the 7-iron (30° vs 34°). Beyond loft, the TW737 P 7-iron is 0.25 inches longer (37" vs 36.75").
The sets are built differently: the TW737 P runs 3-iron to SW (10 clubs), the TW737 Vn 3-iron to 10-iron (8 clubs).
The TW737 P is a players distance iron and the TW737 Vn a players iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The TW737 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 TW737 Vn trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
The TW737 P is listed as cast pocket cavity and the TW737 Vn as forged. Forging, as in the TW737 Vn, is generally credited with a softer feel; casting, as in the TW737 P, allows more complex cavity and weighting shapes, which is why it dominates forgiving irons.
Both sets were introduced in 2016, 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 TW737 Vn is the weaker-lofted set — up to 4° weaker than the TW737 P. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
