When it comes to utilizing carbon fiber in their drivers, Honma is no stranger. The TW747 featured a carbon crown, the TW757 included a carbon speed slot, and last year’s TW767 introduced the carbon roll. With today’s introduction of the new Tour World 777 drivers, Honma is fully committing to showcasing the exciting possibilities of using even more carbon fiber, making these drivers their most advanced carbon system yet.
Honma experienced impressive results and generated more interest in its TW767 driver lineup than in years past. With the introduction of the TW777, they aim to build upon that interest in every possible way. When designing their latest driver series, they incorporated several technologies intended to make the TW777 drivers attractive to all golfers. Before exploring the specific models, let’s take a closer look at the shared technologies that make these driver heads special.
Honma TW777 Drivers Shared Technologies
One of the key elements Honma wanted to improve was creating a driver head with increased flexural stiffness. To accomplish this, they relied heavily on two technologies: Titanum Carbon and an internal Carbon Ring.
Titanium Carbon may not be a new material, as it has been used in golf shafts, particularly in the days of persimmon woods. However, Honma has refined its application in the TW777 model by placing it at the center of the club’s sole. The area where you see the Honma Mole logo on the sole is where this Titanium Carbon lives. Honma discovered that their version of Titanium Carbon behaves similarly to titanium in terms of rigidity, while also providing the weight savings associated with carbon fiber. This innovation is a key factor in their aim to increase flexural stiffness and assist us on the journey to higher ball speeds.
Honma has significantly increased the amount of carbon fiber used in the TW 777 driver head. Their Rear Carbon Body now contains approximately 35% more carbon fiber material compared to the TW 767 models. By incorporating more carbon fiber, Honma can lower and manipulate the clubhead’s center of gravity. This adjustment is vital for achieving the ideal combination of high launch and low spin, both of which are essential for driving the ball farther down the fairway.
To enhance the strength of the carbon fiber, an internal Carbon Ring connects the rear carbon body to the titanium frame. This structure is a crucial element to Honma’s mission to deliver greater speed by increasing stiffness, thereby minimizing excessive deformation at impact. Reduced deformation improves energy transfer to the ball and enhances stability. By integrating Titanium Carbon with the Carbon Ring, Honma has developed a series of drivers that achieve a 12% reduction in deformation over their previous generation. Mission accomplished.
Non-Rotation System
Honma has one of my favorite adjustable hosels on the market, although it often gets overlooked in discussions because it is quite different from most mainstream adjustable hosels. Honma frequently emphasizes its holistic approach to club design, meaning every element is crafted to work in perfect harmony with the others.
Honma produces its own Vizard shafts, which are featured in the TW 777 lineup. By controlling their shaft manufacturing, they ensure that each shaft’s spine is properly aligned at the 6 o’clock position. This alignment helps prevent a toe-down release and delivers more consistent results.
With their adjustable hosels, the shafts do not rotate because they are spine-aligned with the clubhead. If you flip the clubhead over, you will see an adjustment ring that allows for up to 1.5° of loft and 2° lie adjustments. This system is quite different from others available on the market, but it provides a remarkably clean appearance at address.
One final note regarding the adjustable sleeve: Honma reduced the weight by 4 grams compared to earlier models. The updated model features a shorter ferrule and a more compact sleeve design.
Driver Models
Honma TW777
While the TW777 Max may suit the majority of golfers, the TW777 remains the flagship model in the lineup. It strikes an ideal balance between distance and forgiveness in a more workable design. With its 460cc driver head, this option is ideal for those seeking a flatter, more powerful trajectory.
Honma incorporates two adjustable weights on the sole of the TW777 club: one positioned close to the face and the other at the rear. With the 21-gram weight placed in the back, the TW777 achieves its highest MOI, which results in a higher launch and a more stable ball flight. The designated LS model has been discontinued for the TW777 line, so golfers seeking lower spin should consider moving the 20.5-gram tungsten weight to the forward position. This setup will also create the most fade-biased option; however, adjustments can still be made using the non-rotating adjustable hosel to alter the shot shape.
An explicit goal of Honma with the TW777 is to showcase its most sophisticated carbon-fiber build yet. While this goal has been accomplished, it’s also important to highlight the face technology used in these drivers. With an SJ221 forged cup face, the design has been re-engineered to increase the sweet spot and improve energy transfer to the ball.
TW777 is offered in 9° and 10.5° with the Vizard Blue shaft as the standard option. The Vizard for TW777 and Vizard Red shafts will also be available as alternatives.
Honma TW777 Max Driver
Almost every golf company offers a Max driver these days, and Honma is no exception. The TW777 driver is designed for players who want to reduce spin while balancing power and workability. In contrast, the TW777 Max serves as the reliable, point-and-shoot driver within the lineup.
TW777 Max is designed to be the most forgiving and highest MOI driver in the lineup, making it a better fit for golfers whose contact patterns extend beyond the sweet spot. With all the key technologies mentioned above, it sets up to be a high-launch, forgiving, and fast driver head.
Internally, the design features some draw-bias weighting that can be enhanced or mitigated by using two interchangeable weights located on the heel and toe. Golfers who aim to promote a draw or who struggle with a slice can place the 16-gram weight into the heel slot. Conversely, positioning the heavier weight in the toe slot helps to balance the club’s weighting, resulting in a more neutral ball flight. For those seeking the highest MOI, placing the heavier weight in the toe is recommended.
Between the two adjustable weights is a new resin emblem featuring Honma’s updated logo, which symbolizes a new era for the brand. Given Honma’s rich history, changing logos is no small undertaking. According to Honma, this refreshed design serves as a visual representation of the challenge and transformation of the Tour World brand. It is also paired with the iconic Mole logo on the sole, illustrating how Honma blends tradition with new technologies to create a forward-looking future.
Honma’s TW777 Max driver is available in three loft options: 9°, 10.5°, and 12°. Similar to the TW777, the stock shaft options include the Vizard for TW777, Vizard Blue, and Vizard Red.
Honma TW777 360 Ti Driver
As the name suggests, the TW777 360 Ti is different from the other two models in several ways. For starters, it’s only 360cc, which means Honma is throwing its name into the mini driver market. At 360cc, this clubhead is larger than the Callaway Elyte Mini Driver, which measures 340cc. This size should provide a confident, inspiring look behind the ball on tee shots when the driver isn’t the automatic choice.
We won’t find any Titanium Carbon here; instead, this model features a titanium body, which means the sound feedback will likely be a bit brighter than that of the TW777 and TW777 Max. Aside from the titanium construction, the 360 Ti shares several common features with its counterparts. It uses the same SJ221 face material, providing a soft feel while generating significant power. The back of the face incorporates Honma’s uneven-thickness structure. Although this differs from the other two drivers in this lineup, it still delivers high ball speeds across an expanded sweet spot.
The 360 Ti driver includes three adjustable weights: two 4-gram weights and one 12-gram weight. With weight ports in the back, front, and toward the toe, combined with the adjustable hosel, this driver can be finely tuned to achieve your preferred shot shape. For example, if you’re aiming for the most forgiving setup, you can place the heavier weight in the back. If you’re looking for a flatter trajectory, you can move the heavy weight forward. If you want to eliminate the left side of the course, you can position the 12-gram weight toward the toe. Honma envisions the 360 Ti Driver as the ideal choice for players seeking a controllable and workable option off the tee.
Measuring 43.5″, the TW777 360 Ti comes exclusively with 11.5° of loft and is offered with either the Vizard for TW777, Vizard Blue, or Vizard Red shafts.
