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 could be wrong but I think Japan understands family and generational wealth - true wealth i.e., family, et al.

If you are looking for product being just expensive for the sake of it...look no further than food industry that charge you exorbitant price just for edible gold...just lace everything with gold with no substances increase on the food quality.

    I was fortunate to play Honma before they got a little bigger here in the states. Wall Street Journal saw my posts on Twitter about the clubs, and because of their rarity and the story they were doing, they called me. 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.

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.

    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.

    you know as someone that knows golf equipment looking at this, really makes me dislike how exaggerated everything sounds. Every golf nerd knows how the epoxy/adhesive works. They are not gonna let it dry.. and there are few mins of room for error in there, if you are a person in the industry, you won't even say something like "countless hours of work will be wasted on a single golf club" over epoxy issues.. it's just absurd. I use to like the "so expensive" topic by BI, but for the first time they made a video on something that I know, and I just want to point out how ridiculous it sounds...
