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.

These clubs are made specifically for very rich Japanese businessmen who want to improve face when they golf with other Japanese businessmen

[@ZOCCOK]

You know what, it's one of the most accurate answers given in the whole comment section 😂👍

[@HoustonSkywatch]

@@ZOCCOK Pretty much agreed. What is true wealth in this brief life though? Is it really money? Time is a valuable asset. Happiness and joy? I could be wrong but I think Japan understands family and generational wealth - true wealth i.e., family, et al.

You can always count on the Japanese to find the most expensive way possible to make a product and then use that as a selling point

[@BullittAutomotive]

That may be true, but if it was similar or inferior to cheaper versions, they would not sell. What you are paying for is the experience,knowledge, and skill of the craftsmanship.

[@Baronight]

That would only fly if the quality is similar to regular ver. A lot of luxury product can retain their status because they are indeed superior. Or its handcrafted with distinct quality that cant be replicated with mass produced (Even when it provide no significant difference, people appreciate art afterall.) 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.

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.
