+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 In the Tour World series Honma features 3 drivers all suited to different levels of the athlete player. 430/455/460cc's. Interestingly Honma may have used Endo on one of them while not the other two. This 455 is the one, the main way to spot that is it uses "VL Titanium" in the face and "chemical milling" as a process for the crown in KS100, and that's pretty standard Endo stuff, while both the 430 & 460 use G4 Titanium and 3AL-2.5V Titanium / Forged. So who doesn't want to try an Endo made Honma driver like this? It comes stock at 45.5" which is short by Honma's standards and square faced as standard with a neutral weighting of 4g weights on each side. They offer high kick point shafts too, like the TZ75 or TZ65 which are pretty stout. Supposedly you become a Victorious Wizard when you hit this shaft. Looking forward to hitting it!

driverhead Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have tried a few Honma drivers. My favorite to date is the Perfect switch 440. The Armrq shafts are always excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Saw these Tour World drivers several times now, they really look super good. Finish on these is second to none, and great head shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Any feedback on these? I love the look of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miuramaniac Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I've never owned anything Honma but DAMN their stuff looks good. I could bag that driver and a couple their irons easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's not for your Mjr.D, while very great you need like real sqaure and low. Mizuno Yoro driver can have custom specs and also Kamui Works, for you half degree open will look square. TRPX X-Line Heavy Spec or Quadra TPV7 or 8 or a Tipped XXX flex TRPX Air all fun options. Not sure if they would work for you just ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-500 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 That looks awesome. Such a beautiful driver. Tried all 3 and this 455 was my favourite. Best for feel, forgiveness and looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 That sucks. I Axtually only swing about 115-120 now. Hurt my left shoulder and I'm old and washed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 That sucks. I Axtually only swing about 115-120 now. Hurt my left shoulder and I'm old and washed up. The TW717 430 version, the Black one in 8.5 should be right up your alley? It should be lower spin than the 455 or 460. It looks fantastic in person, stealthy black, sets up square Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Ya I love the look! Was a bit thrown off that the 455 version is made at endo, of better materials, though. The other two aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Ya I love the look! Was a bit thrown off that the 455 version is made at endo, of better materials, though. The other two aren't. Yeah, saw that too..Honma QC should be great regardless though. The feel might be better with the Endo VL face, yes Edited July 1, 2014 by Vegaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golf4fun Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Love the look of this driver! Ordered one last week, can't wait to get it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoutout33 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The next time I visit Annandale Golf, which is one of my area's JDM stores, I want to try one of these. Never been the greatest driver, but ever since I got fitted for the R1 and Regio 65, my confidence for drivers is really good. I know the in the demo driver may not be the best for me, but I'm gonna' give a whirl anywho. I'll post my thoughts when I do. I really need to get over the whole JDM driver thingy. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
