BERES PP501

The BERES PP501 is one of the models in Honma's PP500 series, and midwestgolfingmagazine.com's reporting on it reads a little contradictory depending on which entry you pull. In one description it's a traditional blade putter for players with a straight or arcing stroke. In another it's a mallet with pronounced visual alignment features. And in a third it's called a horn-shaped, premium bent-neck mallet built to inspire confident, straight strokes. What's consistent across those descriptions is the head design itself: midwestgolfingmagazine.com describes a K-shape hammerhead mallet, a refined evolution of a previous T-shaped head, said to create greater MOI, and a high-MOI head housing two 10-gram stainless steel weights.

On finish and price, the same publication lists Gold, Silver/Red, and Black/Silver options, with the Gold models priced at $875 and the Silver/Red and Black/Silver models at $550. The face is described as CNC double milled and deep-milled, paired with an aluminum soleplate said to help optimize weight distribution, a bent neck, and an upgraded ARMRQ grade shaft.

Reviewer opinion on the PP501 leans favorable on the high-MOI premise. It's praised for a design said to inspire confidence and encourage straighter, tighter strokes, and midwestgolfingmagazine.com's own take echoes that: golfers who appreciate the ease of rolling a high-MOI putter will feel confident using this modern head design. Whether that confidence comes from the K-shape hammerhead, the weighting, or the aluminum soleplate is left open by the record, but the throughline across every description is a putter built around forgiveness and a repeatable path rather than a classic blade feel.
