Why Honma Golf Clubs Are So Expensive | So Expensive | Business Insider
Honma golf clubs are the most expensive on the market, and they appeal to an exclusive clientele. A full set of their Beres clubs can retail for over $50,000. But it’s not just the name recognition that makes these clubs so valuable. Honma uses expensive materials like carbon fiber to give its handmade clubs the extra edge. It's one of the only manufacturers that makes its shafts in-house and assembles the entire club, from conception to testing, on-site.

I am in the WSJ for golf and framed it and put it in my golf room. What a time. Surreal. They make great irons not a fan of the woods though...

Honma is a niche club that has been able to target a segment of the market with a lot of disposable income. I mostly see women (Asian) playing Honma. Just today I lady with a gold set of Honmas teeing off in group ahead of us. Watching her play I kept thinking she should spend more money on lessons and less on equipment. Actually I think that is true for most golfers I see out there. Thank God they let us play through after 4. Painful to watch.

I have 2 unplayed sets of Honma persimmon left hand woods from the 80's. They are gorgeous.
Will be on the lookout for honma clubs
I still have their early 90s 3 wood with Honma's own 4 star Titanium Carbon shaft it still gives the best feeling and feedback out of any club in my bag. Makes latest Titleist woods felt like tinny crap at impact. Their Hiro Honma 708 LB irons are great as well light as a feather yet impaxt was very crisp and responsive dead easy to launch them high and my dad still games with them to this day. They're simply handed down clubs from my mom's (she works as sales manager at a private golf club) previous Japanese golf members who retired and leave their bags full of golf clubs with her when they travel back to Japan to visit their family and then on their way back they bought a whole new set every year.
Japanese craftsmanship is amazing.
I bought a set of used miuras and have Vega wedges. Love them and they were pretty reasonable when I bought them. Adventures in golf with Eric Anders Lang has a video on miura. Cool process to see though!
I've seen one set of these in the states, japanese tourist. Had no idea how to play really, but the clubs were gold and amazing.
I love it when Japanese products appear on this series; the level of precision and care that goes into their craft is amazing. (Not that other countries are less precise or dedicated, there's just something about how Japan does things that's super satisfying to watch)

From cars to guitars, I can personally profess to 100% satisfaction from pretty much any and all of the Japanese products I’ve owned. And the reason for this is that absolute mindfulness, pride in one’s work, and excellence at any cost, are concepts that are built into Japanese culture on a fundamental level. The “at any cost” part does take a toll, however, on a massive number of Japanese citizens each year, evident by the large number of work and stress-related deaths and suicides. So, excellence itself can have a very high cost.

And yes they are very beautiful my father hand makes custom clubs every step has for many years they are amazing clubs but they are not 50 grand for a set because they do not need to be nor will the people he knows buy them for that but he makes very good money for his hard work knowledge skill and determination.
I'm fascinated that there is enough demand for a $50,000 club set.
Every one of these employees are just safeguarding their jobs by saying they can't possibly be done by a machine. They 100% could and with unquestionably higher accuracy and consistency

Japan. It’s ALWAYS in Japan! 🤩
An expensive golf set is only a person who attaches importance to the exclusivity of the golfer's interests in accordance with the quality of his product without a compromise function hence the satisfaction is accepted on the basis of the superiority of the owner.
I just bought some Honma irons for $400. Their resale in the US/West is pretty bad except for the real special edition clubs. Miura clubs in general I'd say are more prestigious and retain their value much better.
I work for a major hospital in the imaging department and we use mainly Japanese made imaging equipments.

@@duhaqurashi4193 Honma makes so many different sets of high end clubs with gold ranging from 1500-50000 his dad could have had a nice set that was just painted gold. They did that forever.
😂 some of the terminology used in this regarding the club building process are hilarious 😂
Always liked the beauty of these clubs but..... over priced and outdated technology since 2014... the company needs to grow innovation. It's a very competitive market and sport.
Japanese craftsmen are the best in the world bar none.
