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.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
