Honma Golf is launching the latest iteration in their luxury, high performance Beres line today. Beres 09 has all the frills you could imagine, whether its high end materials, meticulous production techniques, or luxury finishes, the line is designed to provide the ultimate game-enhancing experience for the golfer wanting something more out of his or her equipment. According to the company, “BERES clubhead technology is meticulously matched with expertly hand-rolled ARMAQ shafts for soaring distance, unparalleled sensation, and confidence-inspiring ball flight—time after time.”
Honma’s Beres grading system, which ranges from 2 to 5 stars, provides a number of upcharge options in finish, materials and shaft choice. We’ve provided some examples of the difference between the grading levels in photographs (the number of stars is stamped on the sole of each club). However, the finish doesn’t tell the full story. Each grade has a unique shaft, with the 4 and 5-Star shafts typically featuring materials like 24k Golf and Platinum. The higher grades are unapologetically premium in materials, price, and exclusivity.
- 2 Star ARMRQ FX shafts – The kick point is placed slightly closer to the bat, making it easier to time the swing, suppressing unnecessary spin, and utilizing the flex of the shaft to increase flight distance with a high trajectory.
- 3 Star ARMRQ FX shafts – The high-elasticity TORAYCA® M40X, which pursues the ultimate in both fiber strength and elastic modulus, provides superior playing performance that efficiently accelerates head speed without waste, while at the same time suppressing torque and improving stability.
- 4 Star ARMRQ FX shafts – The kick point is designed closer to the tip to further improve H/S. At the same time, torque is further suppressed, increasing initial speed and stability.
- 5 Star ARMRQ FX shafts – From the 4S grade, the bias layer has been further strengthened to generate strong torsional return power. This is an ultra-premium shaft that achieves the ultimate flight and stability.
Honma Beres 09 Drivers
Honma’s Distance Technology features a new CG design and clubhead construction which retains the signature BERES feel plus optimization for maximum yardage. High-strength light- weight carbon material on the toe side of the sole empowers the typical golfer with a draw bias, providing a significant advantage. The surplus weight resulting from the incorporation of carbon is expertly positioned on the heel side for superior performance.
The newly developed face incorporates an intricate uneven-thickness design, precisely engineered to optimize repulsion power. This quad bridge structure provides exceptional support, elevating the power output and significantly enhancing repulsion capabilities.
A strategically positioned stainless weight (10g) at the rear of the clubhead vs. the sole effectively converts impact energy into a repulsive force, enhancing initial velocity for an amplified impact. Additionally, the back weight promotes a draw bias.
Honma Beres 09 Fairway Woods and Hybrids
Honma’s engineers constructed a tungsten nickel weight positioned near the back heel, enhancing impact efficiency and achieving a CG angle of +5.0 degrees. A new unique face and crown design featuring uneven thicknesses improves repulsion performance by thinning the face and crown. Furthermore, the repulsion area has been expanded. These new BERES 09 features create an extraordinary synergy, delivering unparalleled ball speed and launching the ball high with a controlled draw.
The CG has been designed specifically for both fairway woods for optimal performance. The internal weight of the 3W has a CG design that emphasizes long distance, and the 5W has a CG design that emphasizes directionality for desired performance. In the hybrid, each loft is precision-engineered to deliver ideal spin and green-stopping performance.
Honma Beres 09 Irons
The face design of the BERES 09 irons features a combination of uneven semicircles and a L cup face that delivers remarkable distance performance and forgiveness while effectively dampening impact shock for a soft feel and satisfying sound. The revolutionary groove pattern structure delivers exceptional repulsion performance, resisting hitting point variation in both vertical and horizontal directions.
An innovative wide L-Cup face expands the face’s surface and enhances the repulsion area, ultimately boosting flight distance performance and minimizing dispersion even on off-center hits. An integrated vibration-absorbing resin midlayer is crafted with an inner cavity filled with vibration-absorbing resin, to quell vibrations upon impact for a pleasant hitting sensation and sound.
