Who’s It For?

Honma is expanding its T//World series of products and stepping further into the game-improvement category with the XP-1 series of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and irons. In terms of the XP-1 driver specifically, the name of the game for Honma is flexing, whether it’s the clubface or the Double Slot sole. The lightweight, high-MOI design of the XP-1 driver is a great match for mid- to high-handicap golfers or golfers with medium swing speeds.

The Tech Story

The T//World XP-1 driver is highlighted by a number of game-improvement technologies that are geared toward improving launch, distance, and forgiveness. This driver includes Double Slot Sole technology, which consists of a narrow slot in the middle of a larger slot that runs nearly parallel to and just behind the leading edge. This slot increases flexing, as the clubface and the slot flex at impact, resulting in higher ball speeds and more forgiveness. Additionally, the Double Slot allows for more flexing on the heel and toe side of the clubhead to decrease side spin. Meanwhile, an ultralight ribbed ET40 carbon crown, the thinnest in the industry according to Honma, helps provide a lower center of gravity that creates optimal launch conditions. The XP-1 driver also includes innovative adjustability through Honma’s Non-Rotating System. Golfers can adjust for loft, lie, and face angle without rotating the shaft during the adjustment process.
