Honma TR20 line of clubs
Honma’s TR20-which stands for Tour Release 2020, is a product line that combines 60 years of design work from a team of club design engineers.
The TR 440 and 460 drivers, are part of the line that includes TR20 P and V irons.
This line of clubs brings tour level performance to amateurs, who handicaps range from low-to-middle-to high.
“When you combine the attention to detail and finely crafted performance upheld by the takumi with our expert Carlsbad R&D team, every phase of clubmaking process becomes a finely engineered work of art,” says John Kawaja, president of Honma Golf. “In the hands of golfers, the TR20 family of clubs inspires confidence and the pride that they’re using equipment that’s been meticulously created by two expert teams. When Japan’s finest club designers’ team up with America’s most accomplished club designers, the clear winner is the golfer who values inspired quality and performance.”
The TR20 clubs-drivers and irons, the new TR21’s coming this fall include fairway woods and hybrids. Bur regarding the TR20 Driver,
“Like a race car, these drivers are built for speed,” says Chris McGinley, VP of Global Product. “They have a minimum lightweight TiCarbon Fast frame with a maximum amount of carbon body area. It’s a carbon clamshell-the entire outer crown and sole are made of carbon, while the underside of the crown is ribbed to reduce weight and increase strength-that sits on top of a very thin titanium frame eliminating vibration and the variable face thickness increasing face repulsion and COR for more initial ball speed.
One testing outlet but’s the TR20 460 driver fourth overall in Most Wanted testing, and had the third highest ball speed among all drivers tested.
The TR20 series of drivers sell for $649.99 apiece, with the irons at $199.99 per club with a graphite shaft and at $179.99/steel shafts. A new iron release is coming out this summer, it will be the TR20B for blade irons.
