Honma for the holidays

Golfers will love the offerings from Honma.

I had the opportunity recently to attend a special "Demo Day" in Honma's North American headquarters of Carlsbad, Cal.

For decades, the Honma story has been set in the foothills Sakata, Japan. There, bounded by ancient sand dunes, bustling ports, and city sophistication, our founders built Honma from the ground up – gathering the top technical minds, experienced craftsman, and accomplished artisans who put their skills to work in designing the world’s best, most beautiful clubs.

Now in North America, it’s time for Honma’s next chapter.

These would make some great holiday gifts.

The TW757 Driver features a new patent-pending carbon slot that optimizes the performance from the lower half of the clubface. By using a thinner titanium layer supported by a lighter and more responsive carbon insert, the driver offers more speed, higher launch, less spin, and extra discretionary weighting to maximize distance.

Fine Japanese craftsmanship includes premium Toray composites and our tour-validated Honma Vizard shafts. These perfectly pair with the TW757 line’s 460CC D (directional control) carbon fast frame to optimize power off the tee.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES

1. New Carbon-Slot Technology

2. New Tour Grade Vizard Shafts

3. Updated Carbon Fast Frame

P-SAT LOFT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM

The P-SAT allows Honma Vizard shafts to keep the spine of the shaft, as well as shaft graphics and grip markings consistently aligned, while not sacrificing the ability to adjust the TW757 Driver for both Loft and Face-Angle to optimize ball flight.

-Adjust Loft +/- 1° Strong or Weak

-Adjust Lie +2° more Upright from Std.

-Adjust Face Angle +/- 1.5° Open or Closed

The exclusive VIZARD for 757 50 Shaft was holistically designed to synergize the TW757 Driver and Fairway Woods from grip to tip.

This versatile shaft has a smooth feel and is playable for a wide variety of players looking for a premium ultra-lightweight shaft. As with all VIZARD shafts, this proprietary shaft is spine aligned at 6 o’clock for added stability, and Made in Japan.
