What we say...
The Honma T//World GS driver is designed to give extra speed and distance to golfers with slow swings.
The T//World GS range from Japanese golf brand Honma is aimed at golfers with slower swings looking to increase ball speed and distance. The GS stands for ‘Gain Speed’, and that’s something many golfers want to do when buying the best drivers.
The Honma T//World GS range sits alongside the Honma T//World TR (Tour Release) range, which is aimed at better players.
The Honma GS range promises to deliver excellent levels of distance and forgiveness, in an aesthetic that inspires confidence.
The Honma T//World GS driver features a crank-shaped slot on the sole to maintain ball speeds across the face and reduce loss of distance on off-center strikes.
The slot, along with a radial face structure featuring varying levels of thickness, combine to reduce spin on impacts low on the face or on the toe – something Honma feel is common among high handicap golfers. Honma feel this creates a “gear effect” that means the T//World GS driver will give high handicap golfers greater distance and less punishing misses.

The titanium crown has been designed to be as lightweight as possible, helping to boost clubhead speed, while a keel-shaped head and strategically positioned tungsten sole weight promote a draw bias, as Honma recognise that the target golfer for this driver is likely to be fighting an unwanted left-to-right curvature in ball flight.
Honma also use a patented and exclusive Non-Rotating System in the hosel, which is designed to ensure the shaft stays in the 6 o’clock position regardless of adjustments to loft and lie angle, helping to create a more stable ball flight.
