Honma TW757 Driver Review – Good for Handicappers & Forgiving?

“Honma has packed the TW757 Driver with loads of new technology that is designed to give a variety of golfers exactly what they need from the tee.”

The Honma TW757 Driver Family

“The Honma TW757 driver series includes an S-Type and a D-Type version.”

The main difference between the two versions is that the S-type has a moveable weight that can be adjusted to a rear or forward position.

The D-Type driver on the other hand has a moveable weight that allows you to place the weight in the toe or heel position.

It should also be noted that the Honma TW757 S-Type has a 450cc head while the Honma TW757 D-Type has a 460cc head.

In general, you will probably want to go for the Honma TW757 D-Type if you are a high handicap player seeking more forgiveness.

The Honma TW757 S-Type is for players with faster swing speed who want to reduce long game spin as much as possible.

Is it Good for High Handicappers?

“Of course, you will want to check out the Honma TW757 D-Type if you are a high handicapper.”

The Honma TW757 D-Type features all of the same great features and technology as the Honma TW757 S-Type; just with a friendlier look at address.

The 460cc head is a bit more welcoming behind the ball for high handicappers who want more confidence in the box.

The great thing about the Honma TW757 driver line in general though is that each model features what Honma is calling “Carbon slot technology.”

If you are familiar with Taylormade drivers, then you know where this is going. The carbon slot technology is essentially a channel bored into the low face portion that allows that section of the face to flex more.

So when you miss low on the face, you won’t lose as much ball speed.

However, Honma’s version is made from a carbon fiber insert so it actually feels a bit more responsive than the Taylormade iteration.

This is one of the best features for high handicappers.

Is it Forgiving?

“In terms of forgiveness, we would have to say that both the D-Type and the S-Type are forgiving.”

Even though the S-Type head is slightly smaller, you can adjust the weight to the far back.

Doing this will give you more power and ball speed even when you miss the sweet spot. Plus, the S-Type still has the carbon low-face slot.

The D-Type has heel to toe weighting so it might be the more forgiving option if you are struggling with a hard draw or fade.

The lateral CG shift will help you dial in the CG so that your shots go straighter.

Each of these models also features a lightweight composite frame that is composed of carbon fiber and titanium.

Our testers noted that both the Honma TW757 drivers were lightweight and actually helped them increase their club head speeds by a bit.

Difference Between the Honma TW757 and the Beres Black Driver

In performance terms, one of the biggest differences between the Beres Black and the Honma TW757 drivers is that the Beres driver has a hotter face.

There is no welding on the face so almost every sector acts like a trampoline for the ball.

The crown of the Beres Black driver is also made of 8-1-1 titanium while the crown of the Honma TW757 drivers is made of a titanium-carbon composite.

The Beres driver also has a slight draw bias whereas the Honma TW757 drivers have moveable weights.

Available Shafts

• Vizard 757 shaft
• Vizard MA shaft
• Vizard MP shaft
• Vizard FZ shaft
• Vizard PT shaft

Is the Honma TW757 Worth it?

“Yes – especially if you want a premium driver that is also forgiving.”

So far, we haven’t mentioned how nice the Honma TW757 drivers feel.

The lightweight frame coupled with the Vizard shafts really allow you to load and unload comfortably.
