Beautifully Crafted To Be Extremely Playable
Honma T//World XP-1

Honma takes great pride in its approach to designing and building a club. The genesis of a driver for example, begins in the hands of a master craftsman shaping a block of persimmon wood by hand before the final head design enters the CAD phase.

The philosophy of beautiful craftsmanship and performance have combined to produce Honma’s latest international release of the game improvement XP-1 series of clubs that include driver, fairway woods, hybrids and irons.

Honma’s emphasis is on holistically designing every club to cohesively work as a unit for maximum performance. To that end, concept, design and production is all proudly done in-house in Sakata, Japan; and there is a sense of flow and consistency in both feel and looks throughout the entire line of the XP-1.

XP-1 Driver

The XP-1 driver sports a tour-inspired classic look that inspires visual confidence at address, with all the technology quietly hidden away until the golfer takes a swing.

Underneath the high gloss black, the super lightweight ET40 carbon crown allows for a low centre of gravity, the additional 15g of mass positioned towards the heel for increased MOI and a draw bias to help square the club face more easily through impact.

Five Fang Technology are ribs positioned around the crown and sole, stiffening the thin walls of the driver for greater face flex at impact.
