Daiwa GIII driver: non-conforming, costs $2,400, features a gold-plated face (2019 PGA Show)

Published

on

How much are you willing to pay for a non-conforming driver? How about $1,100 plus? Would you be willing to pay an extra $1,300 on top of that for a driver with a gold-plated face based on a Japanese drinking glass etching?

Apparently, some people are, or at least that’s the bet Japanese clubmaker Daiwa is making with its new GIII driver (the GIII line also includes woods and irons).

The Titanium Face on the GIII Driver contains a COR of 0.88 (non-conforming), with triple trenches positioned on the toe and heel which aims to create greater explosive distance by expanding the sweet spot. The driver features Daiwa’s Triple Repulsion Technology, designed to increase ball speed and performance through the combination of its extremely high COR, larger sweet spot and Daiwa’s in-house SVF LITE FM-418D shaft.

The high-end priced drivers are gold plated and feature laser face milling based on Japanese drinking glass etching. Gold accents and intricate Kiriko patterns feature on the sole, while the shape of the folds and waves on the head complete the premium drivers look.
