ARMRQ UD SHAFT CONCEPT

ARMRQ Shaft Technology
The new ARMRQ shaft, wrapped in ultra finely-textured carbon fiber, has more rigidity to the shaft and therefore a greater flexure response. The design reduces deformation of the shaft when the golfer swings, enabling accurate, square impact. The energy produced by the flexure of the shaft is then conveyed to the head to yield astonishing carry.
Big-and-accurate flexure gives the ball the kind of Acceleration you've always wanted

A vast array of tests at Honma has shown that raising the stack angle of the diagonal-direction carbon fiber from 45° to 60° hugely improves flexure. And a greater degree of flexure-which means the shaft snaps sharply back into place-boosts tempo for the ball.

Even greater resistance to crushing
on the swing

Tests on shaft crushing reveal a maximum of 33% more rigidity over previous models. The design minimizes energy-wasting deformation that can occur on the upswing, and the shaft regains its original shape with greater accuracy.

ARMRQ UD Shaft Grade

The four categories of ARMRQ shafts :we've even got the choice of professionals

“In the sport of golf, players play against nature, against their competitors, and against themselves. In order to prevail against the many challenges we face, we professional tournament golfers inevitably demand a great deal from our clubs.
It's simply not enough that my carry out does that of my competitors,and that the club gives me the precision I need to hit the ball where I want to.
It's also imperative that the shaft properly conveys my intentions to the club head, and that means I expect a lot on my shaft.”

Honma's professional player get the four-axis ARMRQ carbon shaft individually crafted to meet their unique specifications.
Though factors such as the kickpoint and weight of the clubs they use may differ, one thing our professional player have in common is that they all choose Honma's five-star ★★★★★ club grade.
Amidst the extreme tension of the tournament, players will invariably miss some shots, but the best tactic by far for turning mistakes into advantages is Honma's five-star ★★★★★.
There's not a whole lot of difference between the four different grades in terms of the tremendous feeling of exhilaration one gets at the swing; however, when it comes to making a great score or playing with greater precision, the “number of stars” is a crucial factorin choosing the ARMRQ shaft.

Illustration of expected trajectory (by shaft grade)


Comparing trajectory when the ball is hit 20mm off the center toward the heel/toe, clearly directionality improves with shaft grade.




■Tensile Modulace
Shaft Grade 2S 3S 4S 5S
Tensile Modulace 40x46t 46x46t 46x50t 50x50t
※In general, golf club shafts utilize materials of 24t or 30t tensile strength.
■Static Measurement
Note: Testing yields theoretical figures for side wobble at a distance of 200 meters based on 5-S grade. A weight of 1kg is added to the toe while keeping the shaft fixed. The discrepancies in the figures are smaller than for dynamic testing due to the side spin factor. 
Shaft Grade 2S 3S 4S 5S
Side Wobble 4m 2m 1m 0m
■Dynamic Testing
Note: Data on strokes (made by robots) is collected by the hit analyzer equipment Distan C.
Shaft Grade 2S 3S 4S 5S
Off-center Toward Heel 6.46m 5.40m 3.32m 0m
