Honma Golf, who’s TR lineup has recently garnered it some awards and even more praise, is now launching the new T//World GS (Gain Speed) family of clubs which are beautifully-crafted, streamlined, game improvement products designed with advanced technology to deliver more speed and exceptional playability for a wide range of golfers. Players across North America can now test the full line of GS drivers, fairways, hybrids, and irons with Honma custom fitters, which were launched recently in Japan.

The new GS lineup will be replacing Honma’s popular game improvement line T//World XP-1 and is specifically designed to help golfers gain speed which translates to more distance. Honma Takumi and their 60-year history of craftsmanship worked in partnership with the North American engineering team in designing the new Flip Slot and Keel Sole for the modern shaped, technology-packed GS clubs.
“In much the way the TR20 and TR21 lines we launched last year delivered exquisite design for unrivaled performance for mid to low handicappers, The GS line brings a rewarding combination of technology for golfers attracted to game-improvement clubs. Everything about the new GS line of drivers, fairways, hybrids, and irons shouts speed, consistency and confidence,” says Honma’s Vice President of Marketing Brad Holder.
The T//World GS 460-cc drivers, designed for straighter ball flights and more distance, are artfully shaped with a raised Keel Sole towards the heel to promote draw-bias and a lower, deeper CG and high MOI to maximize forgiveness. A 9-gram adjustable weight in the heel allows for individual customization for preferred ball flight, and a titanium construction, including a Ti811 body and Ti 6-4 face, provide optimal speed and stability.
Honma’s new Flip Slot technology increases face flexure and reduces spin for more speed and forgiveness. The precise location and shape of the forward Toe Slot creates shot-straightening gear effect on off-center hits. Additionally, regardless of where the ball strikes on the club face, the Radial Face dynamically flexes all parts of the club face to harness more speed.
The T//World GS Drivers are available in 9.5°, 10.5°, and 11.5° heads, with Honma’s SPEEDTUNED shafts.
Modeled on the same optimized “Gain Speed” construction principles as the new GS driver, T//World GS fairway woods and hybrids follow similar aesthetics and design characteristics for satisfying “matched set” consistency and trusted performance.
The T//World GS Fairway woods inspire confidence at address with beautifully traditional shape and size, along with plenty of technology, including Honma’s new Flip Slot technology to maximize face flexure and reduce spin for more speed and additional forgiveness. The internal weight positioning toward the heel creates dynamic closure for increased side spin and enhanced draw-bias that is beneficial for most golfers.
The T//World GS Fairway woods are available in 3W (15°), 4W (16.5°), 5W (18°), and 7W (21°), and are available with Honma’s SPEEDTUNED shafts designed in Japan.
The T//World GS Hybrid, likewise, features Flip Slot technology, carried over from GS drivers and woods, to increase face flexure for maximized ball speeds and reduced spin. Further similar to the fairway woods, the hybrid includes a heel-bias crown graphic applied to visually encourage golfers to return the club face to square at impact.
The T//World GS Hybrids are available in U3 (19°), U4 (21°), and U5 (24°), and are available with Honma’s SPEEDTUNED shaft designed in Japan.
And to help in the scoring clubs, the new T//World GS Irons are the ideal game improvement clubs, designed to inspire visual trust at address and technology that corrects mishits. GS irons are easy to hit and feature a wide, deep cavity and sole to increase CG depth for enhanced MOI. The L-Cup face construction in the 4-7 irons maximizes ball speed and reduces spin, while a 360-degree heavy steel undercut in 8-11 irons increases face flexure and expands the size of the sweet spot.
Men’s sets of the T//World GS Irons includes 4-iron to 11-iron and a SW, while women’s sets of the T//World GS Irons contain 6-11 irons plus SW. Both are available with Honma’s SPEEDTUNED graphite shafts or NS PRO NEO steel shafts.
