What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the TW767 Vx is 30° and the TW777 PCB Max is 28°, a 2° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the TW777 PCB Max should carry roughly 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the TW767 Vx. Across the 5 clubs both sets share, the TW777 PCB Max averages 2° stronger, with the largest gap at the 5-iron (24° vs 22°). Beyond loft, the TW767 Vx 7-iron sits 1° flatter (61.5° vs 62.5°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander; the TW777 PCB Max 7-iron is 0.25 inches longer (37" vs 37.25").
The sets are built differently: the TW767 Vx runs 4-iron to A (8 clubs), the TW777 PCB Max 5-iron to SW (9 clubs).
The TW767 Vx is a players iron and the TW777 PCB Max a game improvement iron, so they sit 2 steps apart on the forgiveness scale. The TW777 PCB Max is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The TW767 Vx 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 TW767 Vx is listed as one-piece forged cavity back with a tungsten toe weight and the TW777 PCB Max as forged body with a full-cup face insert and internal vibration-damping emblem. The TW767 Vx adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.
The TW777 PCB Max came out 1 year after the TW767 Vx, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The TW777 PCB Max is the stronger-lofted set — up to 2° stronger than the TW767 Vx on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Honma TW767 Vx stronger lofted than the TW777 PCB Max?
No. The TW777 PCB Max is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 28° against 30° for the Honma TW767 Vx, 2° stronger and worth roughly 6 to 8 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the Honma TW767 Vx and TW777 PCB Max?
At the 7-iron the difference is 2° (30° vs 28°). The largest gap on a shared club is 2° at the 5-iron, and all 5 shared clubs differ.
Which is better for higher handicap golfers, the Honma TW767 Vx or the TW777 PCB Max?
The TW777 PCB Max. As a game improvement iron it is the more forgiving design, suited to roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The Honma TW767 Vx is a players iron, better suited to roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
Do the Honma TW767 Vx and TW777 PCB Max have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Honma TW767 Vx is 61.5° lie and 37 inches, the TW777 PCB Max 62.5° and 37.25 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
