Honma’s TR20 Drivers Deliver Speed and Beauty in Two ‘Holistically-Crafted’ Head Designs
CARLSBAD, CA – As Honma expands its diverse product line to appeal to the technology-focused North American market, its latest TR20 460 and TR20 440 drivers deliver speed, versatility and adjustable performance in a stylish body that has been expertly crafted by leading engineers from Sakata, Japan and Carlsbad, Calif. Golfers seeking effortless power and preferred feel in a driver that can be configured for optimal ball flight will enjoy the TR20’s high performance design and customization options.
TR20 drivers feature a unique full carbon clamshell body on a fast titanium frame and come in two distinct player-proven head shapes with outstanding performance characteristics. TR20 460 is a full-profile driver that is deeper front-to-back with a swept crown to bolster confidence, playability and stability. The TR20 440 features a compact profile that sits higher in the back for a classic appearance.
Honma’s holistic design process means that every TR20 driver includes a premium, made-in-Japan Sakata VIZARD shaft with a precisely oriented spine for impact repeatability. VIZARD shafts are essentially a premium upgrade that comes standard in every Honma driver, providing a superior overall club composition.
THE SPEED STORY
The TR20’s refined beauty makes a bold impression but it’s the combination of speed and feel that are fueling the line’s growing reputation. “Like a race car, our TR20 drivers have a minimum titanium frame and maximum carbon body,” says Global Vice President of Product Chris McGinley. “It’s an innovative carbon clamshell construction with the entire outer crown and sole made of high strength, lightweight composite material that sits on top of a minimal titanium frame. It’s very weight-efficient, so it’s therefore very speed efficient. Unlike other typical carbon constructions on the market, this one yields outstanding sound and feel at impact.”
The TR20’s TiCarbon Fast Frame combines an ultra-thin, ultra-light and uniquely molded ET40 carbon crown from Toray Composites (the world’s leading manufacturer of PAN-based carbon fibers used in a variety of applications like aerospace and aeronautics) with a lightweight carbon sole on a highly engineered titanium frame that locates weight and structure exactly where they are needed for speed. A unique variable thickness and vertical groove face saves weight and works with the Ti frame and carbon body to deliver even more ball speed. Three adjustable weights are strategically located to optimize the CG location for high MOI, low spin or draw biased performance allowing the golfer to achieve their optimum launch conditions and preferred ball flight.
The fine details set the TR20 460 and TR20 440 apart. From the molded ribs in the ET40 crown, to the fast and weight optimized face, to the innovative combination of carbon body and efficient frame, to the master craftsman hand shaped profiles, TR20 drivers exemplify Honma beautifully crafted performance.
