The Honma TW717 430 is designed for more skilled players for improved workability. Center of Gravity is placed to produce a strong trajectory and allows for a greater degree of ball workability. The face is thicker in the center of the face and gets thinner toward the periphery to mitigate carry distance lost when the ball is struck off-center. The crown is variably thick from front to back to support impact near the face while also enabling discretionary weight placement for optimal CG and launch conditions.
