Honma® introduces the TW717-430, a 430cc full pear shaped driver with improved face insert, rear hosel weight and lower CG location that deliver the best combination of speed, distance and control. The 4-piece head is derived of several materials, a pure titanium hosel, 3AL-2.5V titanium crown, and G4 titanium sole/body and 6-4 Titanium forged face. The forged face provides more distance and control by partially modifying the thickness of the face; the rebound area has been enlarged to mitigate the loss in carry on a mishit. Lofts available are 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5. Face angle is 2 degree open and is preferred by better players.

Key features are as follows:
• High back form and smaller head profile launches the ball on a more penetrating trajectory due to added volume across the thickness of the head.
• Control and maneuverability is emphasized with an optimal center of gravity.

Standard production shaft is the Honma ARMRQ8-54 and VIZARD TA65. Optional shafts include: ARMRQ8-62, VIZARD TA65, TA75, TZ65 and TZ75 by special order. All shafts come in a variety of flexes. The ARMRQ8 is an advanced circular design of the ARMRQ6 shaft. Response to directional torsion is improved and a 45° carbon layer was added. Torsional rigidity was improved significantly and better direction control. The VIZARD shaft was comprised of input from tour pros. The 2 types of shafts have different characteristics of kick point, variation of weight and flex. These in turn, create the different launch and spin characteristics of the two shafts.
