Honma Golf is introducing a trio of golf ball models to the North American market. Available this spring, the new TW-X and TW-S golf balls, according to the company, deliver top-tier ball speed, spin and overall performance while the D1 ball packs distance, forgiveness and durability at a price point and reliability that has helped make it one of the best-selling balls in the Asian market.
Honma Golf says the TW-X and TW-S each feature a premium cast urethane cover that provides spin performance on short irons, increased durability, and an extremely scratch-resistant surface. The cast urethane cover, according to the company, provides a soft feel with surprising durability, creating a ball that retains its resilience after rigorous use, from iron shots to bunker escapes. The TW-X and TW-S ($36 per dozen) deliver exceptional feel shot after shot. The cast urethane cover bites into the grooves of the club face during shots at low clubhead speeds, increasing ground contact time and achieving high spin performance.
The company says its326 Dimple construction was developed over a rigorous three-year design process. The 326 dimples are intentionally aligned with a certain size to withstand strong winds with mid/high trajectory. This provides a highly stable trajectory for any shot.
The D1 model, which Honma says has been the No. 1 sales volume ball in the Japanese market, has now been improved and updated for 2024 for the demands of the North American market. Designed for golfers who desire straight ball flight, solid feel and premium distance, the D1 ball showcases advanced performance with advanced raw material formulation.
With environmental sustainability in mind, Honma’s 2024 D1 ball ($27 per dozen) is designed to reduce carbon emissions by reducing the volume of butadiene rubber required by using a particulate material for the core.
The newly formulated RM Soft Core, with high initial velocity yet stable feel that is achieved by a larger, softer core fore. Honma Golf says this eco-friendly next-Gen ball contributes to SDGs by blending recycled materials with butadiene rubber (BR). By mixing particulate recycled material into the RB soft core, the amount of butadiene rubber used carbon emissions are reduced drastically.
