High-Purity Carbon Steel and Proprietary Heat Treatment Combine Ball Speed and Spin Performance
T//WORLD IRON Launches in the US
HONMA GOLF CO., LTD. will launch the T//WORLD IRON lineup, including the TOUR V, Vx, and Px, at HONMA authorized retailers and directly on the official HONMA website. These premium performance models bring together, at a high level, the feel and performance demanded by serious golfers.
TOUR V and Vx feature high-purity S15C carbon steel. The inherent softness of S15C delivers the exceptional feel highly rated by TEAM HONMA, including professional golfer Shina Kanazawa. In addition, HONMA applies a proprietary heat treatment directly to the material to increase rigidity, improving both ball speed and spin performance. The result is a powerful, stable trajectory without sacrificing the soft feel at impact.
Model-specific bounce designs improve turf interaction and help produce a stable impact point for greater consistency. In addition, shafts developed jointly with Nippon Shaft are engineered together with each head to deliver launch and appropriate descent angles suited to different swing types.
While preserving the feel traditionally associated with forged carbon steel, the new lineup also delivers the ball speed and spin performance sought by today’s golfers. It offers a new choice for players who refuse to compromise on either feel or results.
KEY FEATURES
- Integrated Design Using High-Purity S15C Carbon Steel (TOUR V / Vx)
High-purity S15C carbon steel is used to combine the soft feel of carbon steel with the ball speed and spin performance enabled by increased outer-shell rigidity. HONMA’s proprietary heat treatment achieves improvements in ball speed and spin performance that were previously considered difficult to attain with conventional forged carbon steel.
- Purpose-Designed Shafts Co-Developed with Nippon Shaft
Developed jointly with Nippon Shaft to achieve launch and descent angles suited to each golfer. Through integrated head-and-shaft engineering, two shaft profiles are offered: one designed for a more stable, controlled loading feel and another designed for a more responsive release.
