Honma launches 2022 Beres Aizu and Black collection
Honma Golf has launched its Beres Aizu and Black collections, the latest in the line of visually striking and luxurious equipment.
Speaking on the new collections, Janeann Lanning, COO of Honma North America, said
“This new line represents the latest breakthrough technology for golfers with moderate to modest swing speeds. Beres Aizu and Black allow golfers to make pure, stable swings with enhanced speed and powerful ball flight.”
The Aizu and Black clubhead designs feature identical technology; the Aizu line also adheres to traditional Beres 2-to-5 Star grading, with more advanced shaft technology as the grades progress.
Driver, Woods, Hybrids
Beres Aizu Driver Men’s
Each driver features triple sole slots and an L-Cup face which aims to provide powerful initial ball speed. Optimal center of gravity (CG) design seeks to allow for a high trajectory, low spin, forgiveness, and distance, while the draw bias helps correct fade tendencies associated with modest swing speeds.
Beres Black Driver Men’s
The triple slots bend at impact and rebound to increase ball speed, even on mishits, and the L-Cup face produces high repulsion across the face, maintaining an elevated CT value by not needing to weld the face. An evolved radial Ti6-4 face expands the toe and heel’s repulsive area in design to boost mishit forgiveness, while an ultra-low specific gravity titanium alloy, Ti811, thin-walled crown with varying thinness seeks to optimize impact deflection.
Beres Black Fairway Men’s
In addition, the new fairway woods and hybrids feature the new triple sole lot, thin crown, flexible face, and low-CG weight distribution designed independently for each head. Every wood seeks to offer unprecedented distance through ample speed, high launch, and easy-to-play draw-biased forgiveness.

Irons
Beres Aizu Iron Men’s
The Beres irons are manufactured to offer a high trajectory ball flight along with forgiveness and stability on every hit – even misses.
Beres Black Iron
A wide 3D L-Cup structure has a new ultra-thin face with vertical slits that are designed to improve the face insert strength – maximizing speed and forgiveness. Coupled with one external and two internal sole slots, plus a low-deep CG. The irons are designed to be easy to launch high with strong carry distance.
In addition, an 8620 Forged Body seeks to deliver Honma’s hallmark feel, while the 5-9 irons feature an L-Cup two-piece structure; 10-iron-SW have a flat face two-piece structure.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
