TR20 – Honma’s New Woods & Irons

WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?

Honma Golf’s announcement of their latest club family introduces the TR20 line. TR stands for Tour Release with the driver and irons targeted for play by better players. Driver models have carbon fiber soles and crowns to save weight that was relocated to improve distance and control. The hosel adjustability is interesting since rather than the conventional system when the entire head or shaft turns as loft or face angle are changed; an inner hosel ring moves so head and shaft orientation remain constant.

The TR20V irons are forged from soft carbon steel in a cavity back design and the TR20P irons are forged from S35C steel with an L-cup face. Honma tells me they are similar enough in design to make a combination set helpful to a large number of players.

On the PGA Tour the number nine player in the Official World Golf Rankings, Justin Rose, is playing a prototype TR20B that is expected to be available this summer.
