What are your current gamer drivers that you'll be pitting the Honma against?

Anyone have the ability to put both in front of a trackman/Foresight/etc?

Callaway Great Big Bertha Epic.  I plan to post about that later today actually.

I've set an appointment to go do a fitting appointment with my GolfTec coach, both to make sure the TR20 is dialed in, and to compare it against my current gamer.

Anticipation

With a Honma TR20 460 set to arrive on my doorstep tomorrow, I thought I’d set the stage for what I typically see when I hit driver, what my current gamer is and how I’m set up, what I’m looking for as I evaluate the Honma, etc.

First, here’s my current gamer, a 2017 Callaway Great Big Bertha Epic with the made-for 55g T800, a club that was the first to bring Jailbreak technology.  The sliding weight track is set to a draw bias and the club is set a degree closed, all in an attempt to help me get the ball to turn over.

650858764_Epic1.jpg.915c4b1f025bae587701664213368849.jpg1639829137_Epic2.jpg.172bd0e214145d7b4064544fde4e3807.jpg1454342026_Epic3.jpg.fa06a8594080d54a8ca3882520bd8c43.jpg407716355_Epic4.jpg.328011f47528c7bc142775c071b2d591.jpg970774171_Epic5.jpg.8b805874cef1e1ff1cf63cb5ff0b6cd0.jpg

Until last season I was primarily a fade player, but the more blunt way to put it was that I was taming a slice.  Working with my GolfTec coach I’ve really come a long way in terms of coming in more shallow and hitting up on the ball, and as a result I’m much more of a draw player.  That said, I do still lose shots to the right (my big miss), but it’s a block that doesn’t draw rather than a slice.

Once I was picked by MyGolfSpy for this test, I set out to chart a few rounds with my Epic to have a baseline to measure against the Honma.  Those numbers are as follows:

647875043_EpicData.png.75cc0ae4e3d3259b70afe9d058660afb.png

 

Total FIR:  46%, with 13% missed left and 41% missed right.  Eliminating shortest and longest at outliers, average distance is 256.

As you can see, I’m not a great driver of the ball, but I’m not awful either.  My distance is respectable (and improving when the contact is there).  Many of my misses are the barely in the rough type where I’m still in position on the hole, which this info won’t reflect.  But, I can at least use it as a baseline to see if I am hitting the ball longer and more accurately with the Honma.  And, don’t read too much into these numbers.  I used a Bushnell rangefinder from the tee box and again from where my drive came down to get these yardages, but I obviously haven’t accounted for wind, moisture, temperature, some holes being uphill or downhill, or all the things that would affect overall distance.  Short of putting this chart on the blackboard at MIT and hoping Matt Damon comes along to sort that algorithm out for me, you’ll have to accept this.  After 3 rounds with the Honma at the same course, I think it will have merit as at least a data point to compare the two. Of course I'll be getting launch monitor numbers a couple times too.

I took a pretty good mountain bike spill yesterday afternoon and have some bruised ribs, but should be able to swing it this evening after a few beers and some ibuprofen

 Here's a few more pics of mine as well. Including a pic next to my current gamer. Also got to hit a few in the dark tonight.

 

 

 

 

First shot with a Vice with dog teeth marks went 302 down the middle. Then I hit a Pro V1 on the next one and 💣🤯

I think the most wanted test was just the start of people taking Honma seriously... sneaky suspicion it’s gonna blow a lot of people’s minds

Honma make serious clubs, the sound from their forged irons can make a grown man weak at the knees and need a lie down 🥴😍

Since I am one of the most wanted testers, I get to compare their products side by side with all the other brands. Their drivers were some of my favorites and their irons are very nice and near the top of my list.

I would draw the line at the Beres range. The thought of a club with 24k gold and jewels is too much for me.

Currently gaming a Titleist TS3.

Plan is to get on GCQuad hopefully a few different times

Absolutely love my TS2 and opted against the Honma review ... didn’t want to put any type of jinx on it. 

Both excited and curious to see your feedback.

Dude! Amazing drive!

Had the Sub70s a little over a month but loving them so far. They are a couple degrees flatter than my old mizunos so it's taking some time to adjust to the distances but they feel really good! 

 

I haven't had to hit them too much with the Honma in the bag so far because I've had a lot of wedges in to holes.  Also the Honma is really shiny!

I wasn't able to get to a course yesterday so I had to settle for a range session.  I took my time working from the bottom of the bag up, wedges and even irons, hit three drives with my gamer, and then unveiled the TR20.  My first drive was a little low on the face but dead straight and long.  From there I hit maybe 25 drives and, without the benefit of a launch monitor, I can share some initial impressions:

1) This is definitely longer than my gamer.  How much, not sure yet, but this club gets it out there for sure.  The ball seems to really jump off the face.

2)  I've got a little bit of dialing in to do.  My normal ball has been straight or a slight bit of draw; last night I was hitting the occasional straight ball and a lot of pushes to the right.  My gamer was set up a degree closed and set to a draw bias, whereas I took this to a range in the stock setting, with the heaviest movable weight back for max MOI.  This morning I closed it down a degree and will see how that does tomorrow when I actually play it for 18.  I don't intend to move the weight to a draw bias unless tomorrow's round suggests I need to.  That said, the weight port in the heel is still actually pretty far back, as you can see, so I suspect any MOI loss would be minimal.

Regarding that loft/lie adjustment, I'll post about that later, but much has been made of how different their system is.  It is, but it's not rocket science...simple enough, and still like the aesthetic benefits of the smaller adapter.

Overall, I'm liking this club a lot.  The sound and feel are fantastic...but does it perform?  Gaming it for the first time tomorrow!  Can't wait to answer "What's a Honma?" ten times...
