What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the TW747 V is 32° and the TW747 Vx is 30°, a 2° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the TW747 Vx should carry roughly 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the TW747 V. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the TW747 Vx averages 1.8° stronger, with the largest gap at the 9-iron (41° vs 38°). Beyond loft, the TW747 Vx 7-iron is 0.25 inches longer (36.75" vs 37").
Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed 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 2018, 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 TW747 Vx is the stronger-lofted set — up to 3° stronger than the TW747 V on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
