I will just wait for the TP that comes with the "Real thing" in terms of shafts. Not this watered down crap.
Expensive Driver!!!
LOLOLOLOLLOLL. Nice work.
I thought it to be a typo at first....how foolish of me...
The article about the Williams that was posted though is even more rediculous...but I can see people gaming the $500 dollar version that was mentioned

I found this driver while I was just bored surfing on the internet. Any chance any of you folks out there would pay this much for a driver.

$2,999.99 Not exactly cheap haha
I own two of them. Its a nice driver and I hit it well my only complaint is that it did not come with a Head cover, that was an extra $250.00. But what the heck just throw it in.
NOT. :lying:

You can't scale this!
For the record, that's not even the most expensive Maruman driver golf town carries, just the most expensive they put on their website. A couple of the stores have ones locked in the back that go well into the 5 digit range.

See I can make up words too!
I noticed there were no reviews of this club on that website. I would be too afraid to hit it...
I agree with JB. Some people want stuff that is exclusive and are willing to pay a lot more for it. Just look at what some people pay for some of the more rare Scotty Cameron putter covers or for golf equipment from Japan.

To be fair, it's not hard to spent around $800 on a R11 either. Get a TP and stick a Kiyoshi or Speeder in it and you'll end up at $700 pre taxes

Heck, get a TP and Put that Matrix Ozik TP shaft that went for like, 1000 bucks. That, or one of the Japanese Graphite shafts. Them sunnuvaguns are HIGH.

As if! And its not even "tunable" but I bet the workability is nice!
Good point....price to play for "exclusivity". But for $2,999 - it better go straight and 325 EVERY SINGLE TIME.
35% dang! I'll pay YOU $149 to drive my ball straight 35% of the time!
I couldn't stop laughing reading this one... Hammer commentator or Gus Johnson as if it were a final four game of epic proportions.... BAM! BANG! NAILED IT!
Haha so basically if you were to hit the lottery you would buy this
That's funny
If you had the money, why not? It would be no dumber than buying a $1500 suit, million dollar house or a $300,000 Italian sportscar.

Maruman also has some not so economically priced irons too!
I go on Tourspecgolf.com all the time and drool over Japanese golf stuff. Theyve got a Mizuno belt buckle on there that Id love to have but Im not going to pay the $80 that they want for it.
And then there is the Maruman complete set that goes for $100k. The Williams set at $50k sounds like a bargain in that case. If I am not mistaken the Maruman's are all about the quality of materials used and the craftsmanship. I do believe the $100K set is offered as the kind of thing a company might get its CEO upon retirement, something meant to occupy some corner of the guys "study". The heads on the woods are all hand painted scenes in gold leaf etc etc.
I've seen pictures of those irons and woods. They are beautiful no doubt...but a bit beyond the pale IMHO.
Yeah, a lot of that stuff is really more for people who have more money than they know what to do with. Its not exactly stuff that anyone who lives in the real world and who appreciates quality and craftsmanship would want to be swinging in the dirt all day long.
Most of us are anal enough about our $900 set of irons and $300 driver.
