Very good.

Great club. Re-shafted with something heavier and with a higher bend point. The 43 gram shaft was too light and bend point too low, ball flight too high with stock shaft for me. Love the alignment system where the shaft stays still, everything moves around the washer and screw. So....once you spine the shaft, you don't have to worry about moving the shaft. Brilliant!

Great Club, the adjustments that allow the shaft to stay in place is a positive. It is a little whippy didn't think it was going to work but after a range session and round I stand corrected. Nice climbing penetrating flight!

Iam a beginner. I purchased 9.5* 43R shaft. It is very easy to swing and contact. I love this driver.

I read reviews before buying saying that this club was for golfers with slower swing speeds. I'm an 8 handicap with a faster swing speed and I absolutely love this driver. The shaft is a bit whippy for a stiff flex, but I'm able to shape my shot each swing. My first round played with it was at Soldier Hollow(Gold Course) and I only missed one fairway and that's because the ball ran through due to a little extra distance.

Great looking driver. Very easy to hit. This has the light shaft in it so I picked up some swing speed effortlessly.

Good club for the price

Solid club for the price

I had purchased a Taylormade SIM driver with a stiff flex shaft and it was the first club I've ever purchased that I just couldn't seem to hit. A good golfer can hit anything so they say, but I'm not good, so I need something that is easy to hit. I immediately found this driver simpler to hit. The stiff flex isn't overly stiff and the shaft has a nice pop to it when swinging the club. I haven't messed with the loft adjustment because it felt just right directly out of the box. For the price, I'm way more than happy with this purchase!

The driver itself is awesome, but getting it delivered in 2 days was unbelievable! Very satisfied and will be using RBG more in the future.

I have been looking around for drivers for many months and I’ve tried my friends M4 and some of the new carbon faced drivers. I decided to try the Honma driver based on the reviews. The idea of driving the ball well and saving 500+ dollars while doing it appealed to me. I played 9 holes yesterday. I hit every fairway and was driving the ball 30 yards farther. This is a great club. I am very happy, my friends not so much.

Sweet spot hits are long and straight. Even the mishits have a very good distance.

It's early, but I'm loving this club so far. Out of the box, my immediate thought was the R shaft (I'm 60+) was too whippy. But it doesn't swing that way. In 3 rounds, I've hit 29 of 42 fairways and the misses haven't been nearly as disastrous. Funny, seems the game is a lot more fun from the short stuff.

As said in previous reviews the regular shaft is very whippy compared to other regular shafts. That being said my slice is gone & i'm driving 250 yards which is about 15 better than than my Rocketballz driver. My swing speed is 95 mph so I don't know. It is extremely forgiving on off center shots. Great club!

Great looks, light weight, and makes producing a draw practically effortless, something I had more difficulty doing with my old driver.

I like it so much I just bought the 9.5 degree version as a backup driver to my 10.5 degree Homna. I have probably gained 10-15 yards over my M4. The stiff shaft is whippy like others have said but at impact it is solid & hits it straight. Some have said the adjustment hosel is difficult but I have found it really easy to figure out. I like these Homna drivers so well I also bought the 3 wood & it has the same long & straight characteristics. You wont go wrong with anything they have out there.

Knowing Honma is a well known golf clubs maker in Japan, as well as their price tag, but this one was exceptional. I’ve been looking to replace my 10-years old square driver, so I would like to give a try even I haven’t even trial out any of their clubs. Got the 10.5* stiff flex gizzard 43, took it to the range for few times, I would say the play is pleasant, driver is lightweight, and control is manageable. Sweet spot hits at 85%. Not too bad for a causal golfer. Bigger club face, Golf Pride grip, easy control, pleasant play time. With this price tag, nothing to complain. RBG described the sale doesn’t include head cover and wrench, but I did receive the head cover in shipment. In terms of the missing wrench, I did contact Honma US and they are so kind to arrange the fulfillment with reasonable cost.

This is the best driver for the money. I had been using a Taylormade M4 for the last 5-6 years. It had lived its life. I had recently purchased the XP-1 3 wood and 5 wood and was impressed. When I went to order the driver, it said no tool would be included and no head cover. They were both included with my order. -BONUS! I had been getting a little bit of a fade with my M4 so when I got the new XP-1 driver, I adjusted it to hit a slight draw. It was so easy to adjust. A YouTube video said to see a fitting specialist, but I found it easy to follow the manual that was included. My first three drives were all draws. I quickly adjusted the driver back to neutral position and haven't looked back. Two rounds of golf later and the ball is going 10 plus yards past where my M4 was going and much straighter. Not just fairways, but the middle of the fairway.

Love this Driver! If you have a nice smooth golf swing this driver will be you’re new best friend. Super forgiving face with a lite shaft helps keep the ball in the fairway with distance. If you swing out you’re shoes on the tee box then this is not you’re club.

purchased the 9.5 degree stiff shaft after reading other reviews about the "whippy" regular shaft driver. Took it to the range and I could not get the club to hit a draw with stock setup. Read the manual about the adjusting the club but decided it was too complicated to try. I have to agree with other reviewers, the slower you swing the club the farther the ball goes. The stiff shaft has minimal flex. Will have to go out to the course to see if the ball travels father than my Callaway Razr. Great deal and now matches with my Homna XP-1 irons.

Have found that my miss hits are going about the same as my good drives so it's very consistent, would recommend to everyone Price is also 2nd to none

I hit this driver as well as the other big name.drivers. Great club,,,, black & chrome shinny head, light weight shaft with great Japanese engineering, has nice head covers Try it you will be surprised

I have gained 20 yards on my drives and hitting more fair ways

I haven't had a chance to hit this on the course, only the range so far, but I have hit it pretty extensively. The head is a great size and, for me, it flies very straight very easily. I got the 9.5* and it has a nice flat flight that really seems to carry. I got the 43 gram shaft and it was too light for me, I was kind of hitting it all over the place even when I really slowed it down. I had a old Miyazaki I threw on and it's been so much more consistent. I seem to have gained some distance, but will only be able to confirm when it has made it's debut, but so far everything about the club has been very positive.

The best driver for high handicap golfers! Easy to hit and make it fly to get more distance.

Excellent deal and service

After a year of looking for a new driver to replace my TM R11 I bought this driver last winter. Spring has finally arrived and I have played two rounds with my new best friend! This driver is incredibly easy to swing, it feels like an extension of my arms. The regular flex is a bit whipy but with a fluid backswing and not rushing the downswing results are straight down the middle and a few extra yards! Loved my R11 but this is the perfect replacement.

I am 73 years old & have played over 4000 rounds of golf. I’ve always been a pretty good player & am currently a 6 handicap. Driving length has never been my strong suit, hitting 180-200. I decided to try the Honma XP-1 from RBG. First of all it just looks like you can blast it. As soon as tried it I hit one 230 yards that flew directly over the 150 marker. This hasn’t stopped. I use Golf Pads to measure my shots & have been averaging 215 & straight the last 6 weeks. Now instead of hitting 5 hybrids for my approach shots I’m hitting 9 irons. It’s a lot of fun feeling like TW. Thank you Honma & RBG

Might not be the longest club in the market but I can guarantee you it's by far the most consistent club I've own since I started the game in 1995. Not for fast swingers but average speed or even seniors. The draw biased works wonders just set up square and let the club do the work.

It's a beautiful club, but I need to do some work on the range to dial in the flex on the shaft.

I was totally amazed at the feel/distance and control..Previously had Callaway and Taylor Made. This is clearly the best driver I have ever had and at an incredible price. Thank you

I used to hit 3 wood off the tee every time because I could not hit driver without a major slice. I took a leap and bought this driver and my golf game has totally changed. I now hit 90% of fairways in a round, with my drives being perfectly straight or a slight draw. The other reviews are correct, the regular flex feels almost like a senior flex. My average swing speed is 90 and it still works perfect for me. I have since bought a matching 5 wood and 5 hybrid. I've never broken 90 before, but my first round with the driver and 5 wood I shot a legitimate 84. If on the fence, give this driver a shot before they sell out.

By far the best driver I have ever used, and I used a lot of other drivers

Good Driver. Hits straight. Distance about equal to my Callaway driver. This Honma driver is very high build quality. Adjustment method is different from other adjustable drivers, but with the instructions and Honma tool it works well once you understand how it works.

nice club, great price

The feel of hitting the ball is very smooth coming off the club head!

Very nice club

Sounds different when hit on sweet spot but definitely worth the price.

I was hitting a cobra zl encore, was at simulator with both clubs and averaged 251 with along drive of 272 with cobra, averaged 222 with along drive of 247 with honma. I am going to adjust honma and work with it, and hopefully get it dialed in, I put a larger grip on it, maybe that will help

Love this driver. Ball really jumps off the Club face. And it looks great too! The regular shaft has more flex than the typical regular shaft. Had been using a senior flex on my old driver and was worried about moving back to regular. Fits me perfectly.

Took a chance on this underrated driver and couldn't be happier! It's the most forgiving driver that I have ever played and the distance is right up there with the major brands. I was a bit concerned after reading some reviews that the shaft is on the "whippy side". My swing speed with driver is 102 and some of the new shafts out there are just too stiff (IMO) and don't bend enough which was leading to pushed and lower drives for me. This Vizard shaft is perfect - just enough flex to allow you to load it and release it. The head is draw biased, but not overly so - haven't had any hard hooks - mostly high, straight shots. Great looking head cover as well. Got it for a steal at just under 200.00!

so straight cannot get this wrong at the price

Very forgiving added distance

The most accurate driver I have ever had in my hands.!!! And an extra 10 yards on average from the tee.

Used for one round so far. When hit correctly great ball flight, feels and has a softer feel. I have had to move the ball back in my stance a little to get the benefit of the club. I've been using a Taylormade R7 forever, I hit the Honma about the same distance, a little straighter as of now. I'm sure more will be revealed

Ultra-light driver adds 15 yards and draw bias keeps it straight!

Owned about every brand of drive in the past. With the setting slightly closed this thing is amazing. Seriously hard to miss a fairway. This this is rediculous straight. Super happy with driver.

So far so good. Was able to hit it good right out of the box. Haven't had to adjust it yet. Seems a little tricky.

Tried the club on the driving range. Very pleased with it and am sure it will improve my game. Anxious to try it on the course.

Test drive on driving range, nice, long and straight. Longer than my TP SIM and easier to swing!
