The Honma 2020 D1 (BT2001) is a two-piece distance-oriented golf ball designed for golfers of all swing speeds who want more distance and a soft feel. The 2020 model was a significant update to the D1 series, focusing on improving distance performance.
Core and cover construction
The 2020 D1 has a two-piece construction, combining a newly developed soft rubber core with an ionomer cover.
High-repulsion rubber core: This soft core formulation is designed to improve energy transfer and boost initial ball speed for longer distance.
Ionomer cover: The soft ionomer cover contributes to a pleasing feel at impact.
Aerodynamics and flight
The ball features an updated, more aerodynamic 368-dimple pattern.
Optimized flight: The dimple design helps to produce a high, stable ball flight, even in windy conditions.
Feel and performance
Soft feel: The construction is engineered to deliver a softer feel, despite being a distance-focused ball.
Distance-oriented: The ball is designed with the primary goal of maximizing distance.
For all swing speeds: The 2020 D1 is suitable for a wide range of golfers, rather than being targeted at a specific swing speed.
