BERES P308

The Honma BERES P308 arrived in 2021 as a new addition to the Beres range, according to Golf Monthly, taking the shape of a distinctive T-shape mallet. Both Golf Monthly and mygolfway.com describe a CNC milled head, with Golf Monthly specifying double milling on the face and mygolfway.com calling it a forged, CNC milled construction with double face milling. The two outlets agree on the core idea behind the design: Honma moved the aluminum sole weight low and back in the head, producing a deeper center of gravity that both sites tie to launch, spin, and roll characteristics. Golf Monthly and mygolfway.com both cite a specific figure for that effect, a 13% improvement in roll compared to Honma's previous PP202 mallet.

On the record, mygolfway.com lists a 2.5 degree loft, 70.0 degree lie, and 34 inch length, along with three sight lines for alignment, a detail Golf Monthly also notes as an aid meant to help with a consistent, central strike off the face. Finish options are reported as Black IP and Gold Plated, and shaft options are described by both outlets as spanning a steel shaft version up through the more luxurious 2 to 5 star putters, with Golf Monthly detailing hand-rolled ARMRQ shafts alongside gold and platinum embellishments on the heads, ferrules, and grips. Golf Monthly also places manufacturing at Honma's headquarters in Sakata, Japan, and reports the P308 becoming available across Europe from June 2021.

Pricing differs slightly by outlet: mygolfway.com puts the MSRP at 709 EUR, while Golf Monthly lists it at £629 GBP. Set against the rest of the Beres line, the P308's headline claim on this record is its comparison to the PP202 mallet that came before it, with both sources pointing to the same double-digit roll improvement as the putter's calling card.
