New Honma TR20 460 and TR20 440 drivers launch for 2020
Honma has introduced its two new driver additions for 2020—the TR20 460 and TR20 440.
The TR20 460 (used by Honma ambassador Justin Rose) is a full profile driver deeper front to back with a swept crown designed for confidence and playability, while the TR20 440 is a compact profile that sits higher in the back for a traditional appearance.
Speaking on the new drivers, Honma President John Kawaja stated
“TR20 drivers are a feat of engineering craftsmanship from our incredibly talented teams in Sakata and Carlsbad. Combining innovative carbon construction with the legendary shaping of our takumis in Japan is something we’re very excited for golfers to experience.”
Both new additions from Honma feature a nearly total carbon body and a fast TiCarbon Fast Frame.
The TiCarbon Fast Frame combines an ultra-lightweight ET40 carbon crown from Toray Composites with a carbon sole on a highly optimized titanium frame designed to provide maximum speed and weight efficiency.
A unique vertical groove face works with the Ti frame and carbon body in a bid to deliver speed, and three strategically located and adjustable sole weights seek to provide flight and playability preference for increased MOI, reduced spin, or more draw bias.
The non-rotating hosel on the two new driver additions from Honma allows the clubhead to be adjusted +/- 1.5 degrees in face angle, +/- 1 degree in loft, and +/- 1 degree in lie angle without changing the orientation of the shaft in a design for more consistent performance and impact delivery.
Honma’s TR20 drivers are engineered with the brand’s VIZARD shafts, designed to provide a better whole club in 50, 60, and 70-gram options with different EI profiles to meet the distance needs of golfers with different swing speeds and shaft loading tendencies.
Honma’s TR20 460 and TR20 440 drivers are available for fitting in February and at retail in March and cost $649.99.
