GOLF BALL GUIDE – HONMA GOLF, including TW-G6, the only six-piece golf ball in the world

March 6, 2018 – One-piece golf balls for driving ranges; two-piece golf balls with more distance and less control/feel; three-piece golf balls with more flight control; four-piece golf balls for long drives and soft feel around the green; and five-piece golf balls in which all layers work together while each has a specific and distinct purpose.

Separating the behaviour of the spin, to reduce it from the tee and increase it in the approach hits, has become the main goal of today’s high performance golf ball manufacturers. When the four-piece ProV1x was developed, it seemed unbeatable, but then the TP5x appeared, showing us that it was not true. However, what many don’t know is that the six-piece golf ball… already exists!

This is the sophisticated TW-G6 ball of Honma Golf that, honouring the quality inherent in the luxurious golf clubs of the Japanese brand, is distinguished by being the most complete golf ball in the world.

The TW-G6 is created for the most skilled players, but Honma Golf has brought its full range of golf balls to Europe for the first time this year, including models designed for the average golfer such as TW-G1, TW- G1x and TW-K1. That’s why we present here the Honma Golf golf balls guide, so you can discover which model of the prestigious Japanese brand is the most suitable for your level and style of play, as all maintain the highest standards of quality and personalized performance for each type of golfer.

HONMA GOLF TW-G6

Advanced six-piece multilayer structure golf ball, focused on the carry distance and spin. It differs from other Tour performance golf balls in the market in the greater flexibility in the development and design of its six-layer construction.

The TW-06 (compression 105) has the ideal distance / spin performance, highly valued by Tour professional golfers. Its high initial velocity and launch angle achieve long and powerful trajectories. It has a new 336-dimple soft-spin urethane cover, which offers a good feel and high approach performance. In golf shops it is distinguished by its presentation in an attractive box of 12 balls, in metallic colour and with a white logo.

RRP: 69.95€ per dozen.

HONMA GOLF TW-G1

Golf ball with four-piece structure that offers a very advanced performance through a new fusion of soft feel and spin control. With a high launch, low spin and long distance, it maintains a strong medium-high trajectory and a very soft feel.

The TW-G1 (95 compression) offers Tour level performance from tee to green. It has a 326 dimple pattern on its soft urethane cover, for an optimal carry distance, an ionomer outer layer, a mid layer of high repulsion ionomer and an MX core. In golf shops it is distinguished by its presentation in an attractive box of 12 balls, with contrasting black relief on gold.

RRP: 55.95€ per dozen.

HONMA GOLF TW-G1x

Golf ball with a three-layer structure that offers an advanced level of distance and spin control. Its high initial velocity develops a long distance and a strong and high trajectory. Although the ball is designed for distance and spin, it still offers a soft feeling.

The TW-G1x (100 compression) is focused on competitive golf play, offering the player an exceptional low-spin distance in long shots, along with spin and control around the green. It has a 326 dimple pattern on its soft urethane cover, a high repulsion mid layer and a MX core. In golf shops it is distinguished by its presentation in an attractive box of 12 balls, with contrasting black relief on the metallic cover.

RRP: 55.95€ per dozen.

HONMA GOLF TW-K1

An advanced multilayer three-piece structure golf ball that stands out for its aggressive straight-line performance. It differs by its ease in gripping to the face of the club, with a soft feel when hit. It offers a long carry distance even in off-centre hits.

The TW-K1 (compression 85) has been successfully softened by approximately 25%, compared to the Tour balls of the brand. In the drive it suppresses the over-spin, providing excellent straight-line stability; and in the short game it behaves with high control and high spin performance. It has a soft-cast urethane cover with 318 dimples. In golf shops it is distinguished by its presentation in an attractive white and gold box of 12 golf balls.

RRP: 49.95€ per dozen.

HONMA GOLF NX

Golf ball with a three-piece structure developed to offer a straight distance and medium spin performance, in order to help the average golfer who fights against the hook or the slice. Considerably long and extremely soft, it develops a medium trajectory at moderate swing speeds.

The NX (compression 75) combines carry distance with soft feel, through a cover of 368 dimples of ionomer NC, a very resilient thin mid-soft layer, and a large extremely soft core of high repulsion. It is undoubtedly a very appealing golf ball because it is available in three colours: matte white, matte yellow and matte orange. In the golf shops it is distinguished by its presentation in a fun blue box of 12 golf balls, with the casual logo of the brand.

RRP: 29.95€ per dozen.

HONMA GOLF D1

Golf ball designed for the golfer who looks for a plus in carry distance. Its two-piece structure is particularly focused on the needs of the golfer who needs to reach the maximum distance.

The D1 (compression 85) offers a dynamic distance, since it is specialized in developing flight performance. Its big displacements through the air are combined with its original cover of 368 dimples. In golf shops it is distinguished by its presentation in a 12 balls box, with four sleeves of three units of white or multicolour golf balls in yellow, pink, orange and red.

RRP: 22.95€ per dozen.
