What Honma says about the BERES Black Irons:

“Featuring a wide L-Cup Design utilizing new ultra-thin face which uses vertical slits specifically arranged to improve the strength of the face insert to allow for maximum speed and forgiveness.

“Coupled with one external and two internal sole slots, as well as a low-deep center of Gravity, BERES Irons are easy to launch high with strong carry distance.

“High repulsion performance due to the 3D L-Cup structure and sole slots improve the initial ball speed. A thicker sole design ensures the ultra-low center of gravity to deliver a high launch angle.

“The inside and outside sole slots generate high repulsion, and the outside toe slot provides high repulsion performance on off center strikes at toe end.

“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.”
