Honma Golf upgrades T//World wedges, debuts two new finishes

Enhanced models allow greater spin and improve forgiveness

Carlsbad, CA — Honma Golf, the leader in exquisitely crafted performance golf equipment, announces the new enhanced T//World W5 Wedge, an elite club design that showcases the ultimate in wedge innovation and craftsmanship.

The W5’s reimagined face design and sole options create exceptional play plus Honma’s legendary artistry and craftsmanship.

Honma engineers designed the T//World W5 wedges with a slightly larger head size and advanced high-spin performance by incorporating design characteristics that allow golfers of varying abilities to benefit from greater spin. The increased club head size improves forgiveness with a widened sweet spot for better aim and impact.

Two elegant finishes are available in this wedge line with a system of bounce and grind variations to suit different shot characteristics and wedge-swing styles. The chrome finish model features Honma’s unique and proven-popular double milling pattern on the face which holds and controls the golf ball and “bites” even on short finesse shots for optimal spin performance. The sophisticated brushed copper finish contributes to improved feel, reduced glare, rust prevention, and a unique visual appeal. Prices start at $209 for chrome, and $229 for copper.

The brushed copper model features a protrusion-shaped RIB positioned between the score lines by precision milling. The Full Score Line design of these wedges’ face design allows skilled wedge players to open and close the face at will and achieve a broad array of scoring shots. With grooves spanning from the heel to the toe, it is easy for golfers to use the versatile face surface with forgiveness and confidence in a variety of shot situations.

Golfers experience even more spin and precision with Honma’s latest advancements in its three strategic sole options, the I, C, and S.

I Sole (Available in 48-, 50- and 52-degree lofts, each with 8 degrees of bounce; and 54-degree loft with 10 degrees of bounce): Features slight trailing-edge relief across the back for full sole performance with improved turf interaction on takeaway and impact.

C Sole (Available in 56-, 58- and 60-degree lofts, each with 12 degrees of bounce): Utilizes aggressive heel-to-toe trailing edge relief with a flat bounce design and an easy-to-open face for optimized shot-making versatility whether the face is open or closed.

S Sole (Available in 56-, 58- and 60-degree lofts, each with 8 degrees of bounce): With a wide sole for four-way relief, the S Sole delivers shot making with more forgiveness and reliable spin. This wide, full-sole design enables forgiveness and playability from a variety of sand and turf conditions.

The exclusively designed VIZARD IB Wedge Shaft comes standard in the T//W W-5 wedges for low launch angles and high spin and consistently faster dynamic face closure for consistent loft at impact. The low launch achieved by this design equals longer contact time between the ball and the face.
