Where this club lands
The field is every iron in the database that publishes both of the chart's figures — every brand, not just Honma.
This set's 7-iron is 27° — 5th percentile, stronger-lofted than 95% of the 889 sets that publish one. The median is 32°.
Loft ladder against the field
Loft at each club in the set over the middle half (p25–p75) of every comparable iron set on record — the busiest rung here is built from 900.
Honma Malbon Performance Iron (Men's)middle half of the field
A break in the line is a club the set does not publish a loft for — it is never bridged, because joining across a gap would draw a loft the manufacturer never stated. Every brand's name for the gap wedge is pooled into one rung, since only 25 of 917 sets publish two of them.
The head half
Read the set through
10, 11 are in the set and on the ladder above, but too few sets on record publish those clubs to place them in a field of their own.

The 7-iron of every comparable iron set on record publishing both loft and lie — 889 of them, binned by density.
Offset
Honma Malbon Performance Iron (Men's) · #7 — the leading edge sits behind the line of the shaft by the published figure, drawn to the scale marked and seen from the toe, which is the one view that shows offset truly: it runs perpendicular to the face, so a picture square to the face would have it pointing at you. The outline is a nominal iron — this database holds no head geometry — so the gap the arrow spans is the only measured thing in the frame. The dashed edge is the median of the 7-iron of 580 iron sets on record that publish one.

Head geometry doesn't change with the shaft, so it's stated once. A blank cell means Honma did not publish that figure — we don't estimate.
Stock shafts
Honma states this about the shaft this club ships with, quoted exactly as the record holds it:
- Stock shaft: VIZARD for MALBON — assembled weight R: 349-391g (#5-SW); S: 352-394g (#5-SW), per the Men's Performance set page.
We hold no shaft record matching that name, so there is nothing to link to and no weight, torque or flex profile to show — naming one on a guess would attach another product's numbers to this club. Browse every shaft instead.
