The Pursuit of Putter Perfection

Before the flourish of artisanal branded clubs, there was Honma with its Beres line of super-premium clubs for golfers who demanded more from their equipment beyond the run-of-the-mill. And it is for the golfer seeking the ultimate in high performanc­e and luxury golf equipment that Honma extends its Beres putter line-up with the launch of the P303 and P308 mallet models.

The exquisitel­y finished new mallet style putters have been designed to deliver increased stability over long and shorts putts, while offering a striking and confidence-inspiring appearance at address.

In creating the P303 and P308 putters in Sakata, Japan, more than 100 Takumi or master craftsmen, apply meticulous club building expertise in combinatio­n with modern putter concepts to deliver the highest level of performanc­e on the greens.

BERES P303

The fang-mallet style of the P303 putter, along with an aluminium sole, ensures weight is evenly distribute­d across the entire club face from toe-to-heel. This generates the high MOI that increases stability throughout the stroke and a more consistent roll off the club face, even on putts that are mishit.

Forged, then CNC milled, the putter head with 2 degrees of loft features strategica­lly engineered double milling across the face, ensuring the ball remains in contact with the grooves for longer, to enhance control and deliver a soft feel on the greens.

Three sight lines make it easier to align the putter to the target. Knowing that the ball will consistent­ly start on its intended line frees up the golfer to confidentl­y make a smooth putting stroke.

BERES P308

Distinctiv­ely T-shaped, the P308 putter touts a high MOI for increased stroke stability and forgivenes­s on off-centre strikes. The aluminium sole weight low and back in the putter head achieves a deep CG for optimal launch and spin. Roll has improved 13% over the previous generation PP202 mallet.

The forged CNC milled head with 2.5 degrees of loft also features precise double face milling for control, while the three sight lines with parallel alignment cues encourage a smooth confident stroke.

Across both putter models, the lie angle is at 70 degrees and the standard length is 34’’. Finished in black IP or gold plated, other options range from the steel shafted, to the more luxurious 2 to 5-Star putters that are graded on the technology and materials used in the hand-rolled ARMRQ shafts, plus gold and platinum embellishm­ents in the club heads, ferrules and grips.

“The P303 and P308 models are excellent additions to the existing Beres putter collection that puts a premium on performanc­e, looks and feel. In the constant pursuit of perfection, our Takumi have applied the highest level of detail to the new Beres putters and we are confident that they will be popular with golfers seeking the very best from their putter.” - Tony Scott, Head of Marketing
