OUR TAKE

Honma’s been making super-premium clubs for years but never had a significant presence in the U.S. until now. The TW737 is a legit high-launch, low-spin offering that keeps spin rates down via a more forward CG location and a hot face. Those looking for a lightweight option with solid distance and ample forgiveness with a brand that’s a bit more exotic would do well to give the Honma a look.

FITTER COMMENTS

“Forward CG location helps cut spin for all types of players, producing good distance for the category, with more forgiveness than expected. Lack of adjustability can make fitting more challenging for some.”
