New Honma line for game improvemen­t

-

HONMA Golf has added a new range of golf clubs to its T//World Series with the XP-1 line.

The company’s latest range is aimed at golfers looking for confidence-inspiring game improvemen­t and performanc­e, as well as stylish design features and a top-quality build.

Their master craftsmen designed the new XP-1 club heads and shafts in Sakata, Japan and came up with a high-performanc­e product, with input from former world No 1 Justin Rose.

The XP-1 drivers feature the industry’s lightest carbon crown which enabled Honma engineers to create internal draw-bias weighting and high MOI.

The club head uses Honma’s innovative Double Slot technology that allows the entire front of the driver to flex, with more flex occurring in the heel and toe to help retain speed and accuracy on mishits.

Honma’s exclusive Five Fang Technology – with three fang-like tabs in the crown and two in the sole – provides a fast and efficient structure to increase face flex area and strengthen the thin surroundin­g walls.

The lightweigh­t ET40 carbon crown ensures a low centre of gravity (CG), while the precise internal weighting is ribbed for added strength and face repulsion. A 15g weight pad is strategica­lly positioned to provide an optimum launch time.

The driver also features Honma’s exclusive non-rotating adjustable hosel which maintains the precisely located shaft spine in the same location while offering a multitude of settings for face angle, loft and lie. The XP-1 irons feature a hybrid constructi­on with low CG and fast face to create long carry distance. The hollow long irons (5-7) have tungsten placed in the sole for launch and stability on mishits while the short irons (8-10) have a deep cavity for added forgivenes­s and straighter distance throughout the set. The XP-1 irons also feature Honma Vizard shafts with an ascending weight flow design, amorphous metal fibre in the tip, with soft feeling but consistent and stable performanc­e designed to complement the head.

The new Honma XP-1 range, exclusivel­y available at selected MST Golf stores, is priced at driver: RM3,350, fairway wood: RM1,890, utility: RM1,550 and irons (5-10): RM6,950.
