3D L-CUP Structure(5-thru-9-iron)

High repulsion improves initial ball speed, thanks to the 3D L-CUP structure and sole slots. A thicker sole ensures the ultra-low center of gravity delivers a high launch angle.

Sole Slot

Inside and outside sole slots generate high repulsion. The outside toe slot also provides high repulsion on off-center hits toward the toe.

Face Structure

Repulsion is improved by a thinner face. Vertical slits low in the face reinforce the impact area, providing strength, durability, forgiveness and shot stability.

Optimal Cavity Structure

By enlarging the lower part of the cavity, an increased deep low CG design is realised.
By progressively changing the cavity design by loft, the ideal trajectory for each club is achieved.

The new “10-axis sheet” material consists of 4-axis aluminum and 6-axis carbon.

The counter-balance design helps golfers increase swing speed.

Stronger shaft plies narrow shot dispersion.

• 2 Star ARMRQ MX – shafts feature T1100G bias ply that runs the full length of the shaft to improve recovery for maximum distance. Honma’s proprietary 10-Axis Sheet Metal Hybrid Armour Technology (4-Axis Aluminum and 6-Axis Carbon) around the butt of the shaft.

• 3 Star ARMRQ MX – shafts include high-strength M40X – industry leading high elasticity Toray Composite – that drives both fiber strength and elastic modulus to the utmost limit, accelerating the head speed efficiently without waste. The shaft also combines proprietary 10 Axis Sheet Metal Hybrid Armour Technology and T1100G Carbon to deliver counter-balance designs for added clubhead speed and stability.

• 4 Star ARMRQ MX – With a design nearly identical to the 3 Star, the 4-Star model features a lower kick point to help increase swing speed. ARMRQ MX shafts further improves the head speed and distance by setting the kick point towards the tip.

• 5 Star ARMRQ MX shafts have the lowest torque and are the most technological advanced in the 08 collection. T1100G is used for the bias layer producing strong twisting power and the maximum flight distance.
