The Honma Beres 09 Black Fairway represents the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship and technological precision. Each club is manufactured in-house from start to finish, enabling absolute control over quality and playing characteristics. The limited Black (2★) version combines a luxurious appearance with performance focused on distance, stability, and trajectory control.
High speed and an expanded area of maximum flexibility
The design uses a face and crown with variable thickness. Thinning these areas increases the material’s flexibility at impact, resulting in higher ball speed. At the same time, the area of maximum flexibility is expanded, so even off-center strikes retain solid distance and a consistent flight.
The result is a combination of explosive energy and significant forgiveness that will appeal to a wide range of players.
Tungsten weighting for stability and draw bias
The 14 g tungsten-nickel weight is positioned closer to the rear section near the heel. This design:
-
supports a natural draw bias (making it easier to close the head at impact),
-
improves head stability during the swing,
-
helps produce a higher launch angle while maintaining directional control.
A CG Angle of +5.0° contributes to more efficient “capture” of the ball on the face at impact and helps players eliminate an unwanted slice. The ball flight is high, long, and stable with a subtle draw effect.
Loft-optimized center of gravity
Each fairway wood has a specifically designed internal weight distribution:
-
3W is designed for maximum distance and a strong, penetrating trajectory,
-
5W emphasizes directional control and precision when approaching the green.
This targeted tuning allows the player to get exactly the performance each loft delivers that the situation on the course requires.
2★ Black shaft – reduced excess spin
The premium 2★ shaft has a kick point positioned closer to the grip (butt section), which helps:
-
to reduce excess spin,
-
to stabilize the ball flight,
-
to generate a high yet controlled trajectory with an emphasis on distance.
This profile is ideal for players seeking a combination of speed, confidence at impact, and optimized launch conditions.
The Honma Beres 09 Black Fairway is an exclusive choice for golfers seeking maximum performance without compromise. The combination of tungsten weighting, sophisticated face construction, and a premium shaft delivers long, high, and stable shots with exceptional forgiveness and an elegant appearance.
