Oh my goodness, these are expensive clubs.


Buy Honma Beres IS-06 5 Star Irons at Carl's Golfland. Carl's Carries a Huge Selection of Honma Golf Equipment and Offers Worldwide Shipping.

The Justin Rose prototype irons are only about $1200 per set.


Buy the New Honma TW747 Rose Proto Irons for Less at Carl's Golfland. Carl's Has the Guaranteed Lowest Prices and Ships Worldwide.

Is there any reason EVER!?!?!? to spent almost $40K on a set of irons???

 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I don't think I'd pay $40k for a set of irons.  Justin Rose can afford them, because Honma developed them for Rose. And since he endorses them...so he gets his for free. I'll keep my set of Cobra and bank the $40k.

Yeah, some folks I have golfed with have $100,000 worth of clubs, in one of their numerous golf bags... 🤪

Seriously, opulent behavior, like going shopping at a 99 Ranch market in a $2M Ferrari, which my wife and I witnessed the other day 🙄

My daughter just went to a dumpling party which reminded her of “Crazy rich Asians” 😂😂😂

Funny enough the Justin Rose Prototype models are only $1,200 per set????? 
The Beres IS06 5-Star's are nearly $40K????

Seriously, is that real gold on them?

Maybe it is real gold... It says crafted with precious metals for striking appearance.

In certain cultures, playing expensive clubs like at with rubies encrusted in the cavity is a status symbol.  I asked a few of our members about the clubs.

For clubs that expensive, maybe there’s a pay per view just to click to see them. :-$

Yep, its real gold. Honma use a star rating and the top rating has all sorts such as gold hosel or inserts. My local course used to be an official fitter and aything above one star was just crazy price wise.

Those Rose Protos look slick, and at just over a grand for 4-PW they are not that expensive compared to other manufacturers. 

Those other irons, well some people have more money than brains.

The Honma Beres irons with star ratings...The more stars the more gold on the clubs. Predominantly these clubs were created for the wealthy Japanese client where 40k was pocket change yet bestowed upon the client a set which exhibited their wealth. As most Japanese clubs have annuitized memberships which many times cost 7 figures.....What's 40k? ....One can argue that at least the 5 star have some value melted down.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
