The Hot Metal Pro is a bit of a chunky monkey though, if that bothers you.
Forgiving Irons without Major Offset

The HMP 7 iron is 2.1 mm longer than the 245 heel to toe is, the sole is 2.6mm wider, the top line is 1.8mm wider and the offset is 0.0042" greater. Bigger overall, but easy to live with.

Why minimal offset ? Offset forgives.

Not necessarily. It’s great if your miss is a slice as it helps square up the face but my miss is a big hook so it would probably only make it worse…and I’m just not keen on the look of big offset at address.

How do the Honma TR20 p feel? Are you getting a significant amount of extra forgiveness?

They are part forged and feel great. They are a players distance iron and compared to the blades I had previously the forgiveness is noticeable. When I had the blades I only used up to 7 iron with TMTP CB forged 6 and 5 I now have a matching set and use the 6 and 5 Honma
The only downside I have found to them is the reduced amount of spin compared to what I played previously. (I use high spin balls but still do not get drop and stop)
There are you tube reviews of them and the reduced spin was mentioned in the review I watched, they are reviewed by this mag
