However, PXG isn’t the only premium golf manufacturer to start making waves in recent years. Honma is relatively new as well, but their clubs are already in the hands of greats like Ernie Els. These clubs are high-end. In fact, their premium irons come with 24k gold inlays.
The company is at it again with a new driver that’s already making the game easier for players looking for more forgiveness and speed.
Key Features

Honma T//World GS Driver Detailed Review
Design and Technology
As we noted earlier, the T//World GS driver is jam-packed with design and technology features proven average Joe’s to help you get the most out of their game.
The most noticeable feature on this club is Flip Shot technology. While it seems like just about every driver on the market has some sort of “slot” tech, this design feature plays a key role in helping golfers with slower swing speeds maximize distance.
Radial face design is pretty cool too. By using an internal rib design, Honma’s able to keep ball speeds high across the entire face. That means more forgiveness, even on mishits.
The Keel sole is a design feature that’s geared to help slicers spend more time in the fairway instead of the right rough. Because of added mass in the heel of the club, golfers are able to square the face at impact. The result is less slice spin and straighter shots.
Moving weight out of the crown is all the rage in modern driver design. In the T//World GS driver, Honma has masterfully done just that. Not only is the crown one of the lightest around, it works in conjunction with the Flip Slot to reduce energy loss at impact. That equates to higher COR, faster ball speeds, and more distance.
Lastly, the non-rotating adjustable hosel keeps the shaft in perfect alignment no matter what loft or lie adjustment you make.
Specs
The T//World GS driver comes in lofts of 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5 degrees. The length is 45.5” and the lie angle is 59.5 degrees. Head size is 460cc.
The stock shaft is the Speedtuned Graphite in either regular or stiff flex. Swing weight is either D1 or D1.5.
Our Experience
I’ll be honest, I haven’t had the chance to hit a whole lot of Honma equipment. However, I was lucky enough to get my hands on the T//World GS driver, and it’s not hard to see what the hype is all about.
Not only does this club look cool, it’s got more tech than Apollo 13. And it’s tech that’s been well thought out, too.
As someone that can struggle at times with consistency from the tee, I was floored by how forgiving this driver is. Whether I caught it on the toe, heel, or out of the center, I didn’t notice much difference in terms of distance.
