Elegant Design Pairs With Top-tier Performance In This Limited-edition Collection By Japan’s Most Renowned Golf Artisans
Carlsbad, CA — Is there anything more elegantly beautiful than the color black? Honma’s acclaimed BERES Black Series is back in 2025 with expertly crafted BERES 09 Black woods, hybrids, irons and limited-edition golf bags to bring sophistication, power, and touch of mystique to your set.
The new premium lightweight BERES 09 Black, Honma Golf, the leader in beautifully crafted performance golf equipment, carries forward six decades of Japanese tradition, innovation, meticulous craftsmanship, and unmatched artistry. Best known for their ultra-lightweight design, BERES 09 Black delivers easy speed and distance for smooth-tempo players.
The clubhead technology built into the BERES 09 Black line is meticulously matched with Premium Vizard Shafts that are hand-crafted in Sakata, Japan for responsive feel, increased distance, and confidence-inspiring ball flight.
“The BERES 09 Black family of clubs is visually striking with its sleek black and gold finish luxury appeal and timeless styling but it’s the BERES performance, consistency and pleasing ball flight that has made BERES 09 Black one of the most sought after releases we have delivered in recent years,” said Senior Product Marketing Manager Takahiro Suzuki. “For golfers who value premium materials, unparalleled craftsmanship, and ease of play with forgiving, high-ball-speed performance, BERES 09 Black woods, fairway woods, hybrids, and iron are among the most eye-opening equipment releases on the market.”
BERES 09 Black Driver
Honma’s Distance Technology features a new CG design and clubhead construction, which retains the signature BERES feel plus optimization for maximum yardage. High-strength lightweight carbon material on the toe side of the sole empowers the typical golfer with a draw bias, providing a significant advantage. The surplus weight resulting from the incorporation of carbon is expertly positioned on the heel side for superior performance.
The newly developed face incorporates an intricate variable thickness design, precisely engineered to optimize repulsion power. This quad-bridge structure provides exceptional support, elevating the power output and significantly enhancing rebound capabilities.
A strategically positioned stainless weight (10g) at the rear of the clubhead vs. the sole effectively converts impact energy into a repulsive force, enhancing initial velocity for an amplified impact. Additionally, the back weight promotes a draw bias.
BERES 09 Black Fairway Woods and Hybrids
Honma’s engineers constructed a tungsten nickel weight positioned near the back heel, enhancing impact efficiency and achieving a CG angle of +5.0 degrees. A new unique face and crown design featuring uneven thicknesses improves rebound performance by thinning the face and crown. Furthermore, the sweet spot area has been expanded. These new BERES 09 Black features create an extraordinary synergy, delivering unparalleled ball speed and launching the ball high with a controlled draw.
The CG has been designed specifically for both fairway woods for optimal performance. The internal weight of the 3W has a CG design that emphasizes long distance, and the 5W has a CG design that emphasizes workability for desired performance. In the hybrid, each loft is precision-engineered to deliver ideal spin and green-stopping performance.
BERES 09 Black Irons
The face design of the BERES 09 Black irons features a combination of uneven semicircles and a L cup face that delivers remarkable distance performance and forgiveness while effectively dampening impact shock for a soft feel and satisfying sound. The revolutionary groove pattern structure delivers exceptional rebound performance, improving off-center hits in both vertical and horizontal directions.
An innovative wide L-Cup face expands the face’s surface and enhances the repulsion area, ultimately boosting flight distance performance and minimizing dispersion even on off-center hits. An integrated vibration-absorbing resin mid-layer is crafted with an inner cavity filled with vibration-absorbing resin, to quell vibrations upon impact for a pleasant hitting sensation and sound.
PRICING: Drivers start at $900, Fairways/Hybrids at $600, and Irons start at $3,150 for a set of 5-11, AW, PW.
