Staff WriterIf you thought putting was simply a matter of squaring the face and hoping for the best, think again. The artisans at Honma Golf have returned from their Sakata sanctum with four freshly forged blades of glory, launching a new lineup that might just be the Rolls-Royce of the greens.
Enter the BERES Putter—actually, four of them—engineered to tickle the fancy of golfers who prefer their flatsticks with both performance and pedigree.
Crafted by Honma’s master craftsmen (who probably mill tungsten weights in their sleep), the BERES Putter range, known officially as the PP500 Series, has just landed in North America. And let’s just say these aren’t your average pro shop putters hanging from a plastic rack. No, these come dressed to impress in Gold, Silver/Red, and Black/Silver finishes. Think of them less as clubs and more as investment-grade instruments with loft.
These new P500 models elevate the already elegant P300 line with upgraded Moment of Inertia (MOI) via two strategically stainless steel weights that stabilise the face even on off-centre hits for extreme forgiveness.
And each putter face is CNC double milled and deep-milled, so your golf ball leaves the face with the sort of gentle, predictable roll that whispers, “This one’s going in.”
“Putting is one of the most personalised and nuanced skills in golf,” said Takahiro Suzuki, Honma’s Senior Product Marketing Manager, “so it’s important for a putter to inspire instant confidence every time a golfer sets up to make their own unique stroke.”
Translation: You’ve got enough doubts standing over a six-footer—your putter shouldn’t be one of them.
Let’s Meet the Lineup
BERES PP501 – The traditional blade that thinks it’s James Bond. Sleek, stylish, and designed for a pure, straight or arcing stroke.
You can pair it with the ARMRQ grade shaft, which adds the kind of stability that keeps your putting path tighter than a tour pro’s pre-shot routine.
BERES PP502 – A confidence-boosting mallet with bold alignment aids and a forgiving head shape.
If you’ve ever looked down and wondered whether you’re lined up at the hole or the beverage cart, this one’s for you.
BERES PP503 – The BERES PP503 is a horn-shaped, premium bent-neck mallet designed to inspire confident, straight putting strokes.
This head design helps achieve more stable putting via a high-MOI head which houses two 10-gram stainless steel weights.
Balanced weight distribution helps ensure stable strokes and straighter rolls, even on mishits.
Those twin 10-gram tungsten weights aren’t just for show—they’re working overtime to straighten your misfires.
BERES PP505 – This one’s got the flair. A K-shaped, hammerhead mallet with more MOI than a physics textbook.
It’s low CG, high stability, and pure tech—all in a sleek modern design that practically putts itself.
And for those who believe no shaft should be left behind, Honma offers the bespoke ARMRQ upgrade—because your putting stroke deserves the same care as your whisky selection.
As for price? If you’re chasing Gold, bring $875. For the Silver/Red or Black/Silver models, a cool $550 gets you in the game. Yes, that’s steep—but then again, how much is shaving three strokes off your round worth to you?
