Honma TW757 Range from £159 per club
Japanese brand Honma has utilised its club-making expertise and performance materials in the new premium TW757 range of woods and irons, which sits alongside the game-improvement GS line.
The range includes two driver models to suit different preferences in ball flight. Both feature Honma’s Carbon-slot technology – a channel reinforced with carbon to maintain strength. This works together with the lightweight carbon crown to increase initial ball speed and lower the centre of gravity (CG). The impact feel and sound have been improved, helped by two ribs positioned underneath the crown that maintain rigidity around the clubface at the point of strike.
The 455cc TW757 S model is suited to more accomplished golfers. It features adjustable front and back 3g and 9g weights on the sole to dial in the launch and spin. There’s also the 460cc TW757 D driver, offering more forgiveness with the moveable 9g and 3g weights in the toe and heel.
The TW757 range also boasts three iron models to suit different abilities. The cast TW757 P is a modern players’ distance iron, with the long-irons featuring a 6g weight screw and a 12g tungsten weight in the toe and sole that improve stability and launch at impact.
The forged TW757 Vx is a cavity-back players’ iron crafted from soft S20 steel, which strikes a balance of feel and distance with shot-shaping potential. Then, for serious golfers seeking exceptional feel and control and a clean look, the TW757 B iron is a blade that features a tungsten weight with built-in resin components in the 3- to 7-irons to improve dispersion and absorb vibrations at impact.
The Honma TW757 range is on sale now with the following RRPS: driver: £559; fairways: £329; hybrids: £299; irons: from £159 steel, £169 graphite per club.
1.
How does the new TW757 range differ from the GS range in terms of performance?
The GS range is predominantly aimed at golfers seeking more forgiveness, while the new TW757 collection delivers the ideal trajectory and control required by serious golfers. In addition, it offers initial high speed, helped by having adjustability. More accomplished golfers can expect to see a combination of distance and control at faster swing speeds from the TW757 clubs.
2.
Explain the performance benefits of the new Carbon Slot tech on the drivers?
The Carbon Slot has a structure that achieves high-resilience performance by making the wall thickness of the slot thinner. In addition, the slot – when stress is applied at impact – realises optimum deflection due to its strategically engineered structure. This pioneering technology ultimately maximises the initial ball speed to deliver longer carries off the tee.
3. Why should a golfer choose Honma over other available brands in 2022?
Honma is a premium golf brand that realises not only the high functionality of the head but also the integrated development and design of the entire club. We have now entered an era where carbon is the focus of the driver head. As a brand that has been deeply involved with high-performance carbon materials since the 1970s, we are able to draw upon our expertise in this area and design clubs that deliver the highest levels of performance.
