The Honma TW767 driver incorporates an array of features to produce 10K+ MOI for a great blend of forgiveness and distance. Powerful sound and feel. Simple adjustability.
Introduction
A good way to gauge a golfer’s obsession with the game is to mention the brand name Honma. While some golfers may say they’ve at least heard of Honma, a gear head’s eye brows will rise in reverence. For over 60 years Honma has been producing golf clubs with the “highest levels of artistry, quality, and innovation.” Their latest Tour World driver, the TW767, is designed to “deliver premium performance to both improving players and golf masters.” As someone who falls in that range, I put the Honma TW767 driver through the Plugged In Golf testing paces.
Looks
At address, the Honma TW767 driver presents a unique look with its segmented trailing edge. There’s an important reason for that seam that I’ll delve into later, but there’s no denying that it was a slight distraction at the beginning of my testing. That said, the solid black matte finish was a pleasant change from the other drivers I’ve hit this year, and the overall shape was inviting.
The sole of the TW767 driver brings in a beautiful blue that changes hues with varying light conditions and viewing angles. The deep depressions that form a central pod appear purposeful, and a glimpse of the weight port on the rear of the head told me it is.
The Honma TW767 driver comes with a really nice, premium looking headcover. The white “T//WORLD” stitching is as tall as any I’ve seen. And the plush interior is uber soft. Well done Honma.
Sound & Feel
Similar to the Honma BERES Nx driver I tested [review HERE], the TW767 was loud. The metallic ‘crack’ garnered a few head turns on the driving range. The sound was remarkably consistent even when my swing wasn’t.
Aligning nicely with the sound, contact felt firm and powerful. Impact in the center section of the face felt stable, and it took some focus to note the location of the strike. Contact in the horizontal line areas towards the heel and toe created some head twisting, but even then, the feedback was modest.
Performance
While there’s nothing better than being outside and seeing the actual golf ball fly through the sky, watching the shot tracker on TrackMan paint the shot can be exhilarating. I marveled at the number of strikes with the Honma TW767 driver that seemed to paint the target line. Reviewing the dispersion graphics confirmed about half my shots were within 10 yards of center. Across the launch monitor data fields, the Honma TW767 driver was a solid performer. Standout numbers weren’t produced in any of the categories, but, at the same time, there weren’t any areas of concern.
I mentioned a couple key design features in the Looks section above. The first was the seam near the trailing edge, which actually delineates the back side of a one-piece carbon body. The center section is a 360° seamless shell that allowed Honma engineers to create a form that supports both the dynamics of the face and the rear weight adjustability.

The forged, variable thickness titanium face was made stronger than the previous model, improving deflection 8% and ball speed 17% per Honma testing. The 20.5 gram rear weight is actually heavier on the gold dot side, and can be flipped left or right. In the stock position with the gold dot on the right, Honma describes the setup as “more stable.” With the heavier side on the left towards the heel, the setup is “more control.” When I flipped the weight I saw a clear draw bias which led me to conclude “more control” can also be interpreted as minimizing slices.
Honma revamped the hosel adjustability of the TW767 driver to better align with the needs of most golfers. The system is fairly intuitive but different than most other OEMs. There are four positions: STD (stock), LOW (-1° loft), HIGH (+1° loft), and FL (-2° lie). The nice thing about the Honma system is the shaft doesn’t rotate so you can tinker without messing up the grip orientation.
As for shafts, Honma handcrafts their own. Vizard shafts are regarded as high-quality, premium golf shafts and I found the VIZARD EZ-A played as advertised and had a nice feel.
Conclusion
It wasn’t too many years ago that Honma drivers were considered exotic just for their price, but in today’s market, $650 is considered reasonable. “Reasonable” seems like a good topic for Golf Myths Unplugged – but I digress. With an MOI over 10K and solid ball speeds, the Honma TW767 driver is a good blend of distance and forgiveness. For some golfers, playing something different than all their friends may have some appeal. And it’s worth noting that the Honma TW767 driver is also available in low spin (LS) model and draw-biased (MAX) versions.

I’m a 15 handicap. Every part of my game is inconsistent but I’m 70 yo and only been playing for 7 years. My bag except putter is all Callaway. If I have $650 to sprend should I get new irons ( playing Paradym X), a new driver ( playing Paradym), or an L. A. B putter?
Jeffrey,
Were your current driver and irons fit to you? What is your current putter? Which part of your game is causing you the most problems? And, saving the most important question for last, what is the purpose of buying the new equipment?
Best,
Matt
