I purchased this driver because of the 43 gram shaft and the fantastic 4th of July sale price. I am a senior golfer and prefer a lighter shaft on my driver. The Honma has a solid feel and sound when struck. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Pros
  • Great value for the price.
Cons
  • none

Great value for top brand

Very light weights and forgiving. This driver is made in Japan when most of the clubs are made in China. Great quality.

Beautiful elegant power
June 25, 2021
Blasting monsters with this beauty. Comes with robust protective cover.
Pros
  • Adjustable loft and good driving power
Cons
  • Adjusting the loft was easy enough, but wondering if the instructions and video are outdated. It says when retightening with the torque wrench, it must click two times. Could not get it to do so, was afraid I?d strip the screw or otherwise damage the club. It worked fine, but I would hope Honma would post a newer video for this club. It?s 8 years old with a different club, and I suspect the instruction manual is the same. Still not sure it?s right.

Have used the driver for two rounds. Reviews said it was hard to slice, and they are correct. I am a fade hitter now playing a draw with this club. Gained some distance and much more accurate than with my last driver. I only anticipate it getting better as I get used to it.
Pros
  • Gained distance, accuracy, no more slice. I got the stiff shaft and it is stiff enough but not too stiff.
Cons
  • NA

Great driver

I think it’s a great driver. I get 15 more yards on my drives compared to my Taylor Made . It has nice weight and balance and the regular shaft is excellent. This is the best driver I have ever had in my 70 years of VM playing golf. That includes at least 40 drivers.

HOT off the face.
April 22, 2021
The ball really ROCKETS off the face of this club. But still trying to figure out the adjustability of this club. Seems like you need an engineering degree.
Pros
  • Hot off the club,
Cons
  • Adjustability

My search is over.

I have tried countless drivers over the years Never been satisfied until the Honma XP1. With the proper swing mechanics it is almost impossible to slice. Plus it has added at least 20 yds. sometimes more in distance.
Pros
  • Had a friend hit it today,
  • He said he was ordering one today.
  • He hit it at least 30 yds farther than me.

GREAT DRIVER
March 13, 2021
Never went to the driving range, straight to the course. Took three holes to figure it out.This driver is STRAIGHT and I got 5-10 yards more distance.My Calloway BIG BERTHA and Taylormade M3 driver I had to line up for fades. This driver is sooo straight>hit one drive off the toe and still stayed in the right part of the fairway.Did not take long to get used to it. I got the stiff flex shaft as the reviews I read said the regular flex is a little whipping. My swing speed is still enough to get flex at point of head and shaft which is creating more distantance and I realized I don't have to swing as hard nor aim left as I had to do with the Calloway and Taylormade drivers.This driver really works for me!
Pros
  • Nice balance and feel.
Cons
  • None

XP 1 is an affordable driver from Honma and Rock Bottom...cheaper than other internet golfing sites too! Very lightweight shaft that will take some getting used to... beautiful profile and minimalist classic design...club has a draw bias already built in with the rear weight placement...very happy with purchase...normal shipping rate and delivery was timely & fantastic ...now come on SPRING THAW !

Great club
February 9, 2021
The idea of the club head and shaft designed to work together appealed to me. The driver has a regular 43 gram shaft, which moves drives 10 to 15 yards further but is a little too whippy. The return process is NOT the no hassle 90-day guarantee. It's full of conditions and designed to deflect you. Very deceptive advertising.
Pros
  • Wonderful feel.
Cons
  • Returns process is a shame.

Drive head hot and feels good. Center of clubhead most times. Does take a little time to get use to unique shaft feel. Performs well for dispersion and length.
Pros
  • Feel. Strong impact. Good launch angle. Dispersion small. Respnosive shaft. Light feel.
Cons
  • Flex maybe should of got stiff vice regular flex

Honma XP-1 driver with 43g shaft
February 5, 2021
Purchased the XP-1 from RBG recently. Have hit on the range and played 18 holes with it twice so far. I like it!! The 43g Honma shaft is a bit whippy, but it is a very powerful combination, as long as I don't overswing. Launches high, straight with a penetrating ball flight. Think it works quite well for people with slower swing speeds. I made no adjustments and am using the standard (as received) shaft setting. It was on sale at a reasonable price (52% off retail) from RBG.
Pros
  • straight, high launch, penetrating ball flight.
Cons
  • Shaft can be a bit whippy if you overswing.

Honma XP-1 Driver
February 2, 2021
I purchased the Honma XP-1 Driver and went with a regular shaft instead of a stiff shaft driver due to a shoulder injury. Overall I like the driver but there is something inside the shaft that moves up and down that makes an annoying noise but does not seem to effect the performance.
Pros
  • Light weight, nice feel
Cons
  • Annoying shaft noise
