Specs Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Maruman is suppose to be very good stuff. Look like Honma more than they used to though. They used to have simple beautiful forged clubs. Laura Davies played them for years.. Not sure what she plays now though.. KWheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainuh Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Specs of top /sole look pretty close to any major/minor OEM. Irons appear to share those same similar spec's of any other. I do roll my eyes when I see "TOUGHEST" as an adjective for both clubs. That said...Hey, if you've got that type of F/U money I'm fine with that setup. It is a pretty looking set of sticks and God bless him if it gives him some confidence stepping up to address the ball. rob I Can't Help It If I'm Lucky...

Phana24JG Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Driver Irons This guy comes into the shop, and wants to hit the most expensive thing we have... then he brings these out to show us.... and asks me to hit them!!! I was really impressed. Feel was great, ballflight was great, price was nuts!!!! Driver was $2500, irons were $5000. NUTS!!!!!!!! OK, so they were decent to hit. What we really want to know is how were they when the driver hit one that would be OB and needed to be disciplined? That is the real test of the golf club.

HoosierGolfer Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have $800 in my irons, a $400 driver, $200 4 wood, $200 hybrid, $200+ in wedges and a $150 putter and everyone at my home course gets our rears kicked every Saturday morning in skins by a 60 year old, slightly overweight guy with twenty five year old Wilson irons and driver with a $20 brass putter.

JBones Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Sorry, but those are the ugliest clubs I have ever seen. Even if I had that kind of money to waste on clubs, I would not have those. Follow @GolfspyBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierGolfer Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think these may have been even more pricey.
