New golf equipment 2021: Honma
I was really impressed with Honma’s XP-1 offering and now they are back with a new game improvement range. The GS range stands for ‘gain speed’ and its aimed at golfers with lower swings looking to increase ball speed and distance.
But it’s not just about distance they are also designed to be easy-to-square draw-biased offerings to help players struggling with a slice thanks to a extra tungsten in the sole of the clubhead.
All the metalwoods in this range feature a crank shaped slot on the sole which helps maintain that fast ball speed even on off centre strikes.
The irons offer a large sweet spot to give you maximum forgiveness on off centre strikes in fact Honma are saying the MOI has been increased by 243g/cm² compared to the previous XP-1 offering thanks to a 6 gram tungsten weight in the toe of the irons.
The full line-up includes a driver, fairway wood, hybrid and irons and all are available in both men’s and women’s offerings.
RRP: From £249
