WRX Spotlight: Daiwa GIII Signature Driver
Product: Daiwa GIII Signature Driver
Pitch: From Daiwa: “Using their own GIII Neo Titanium Face allows GIII Signature Driver to achieve the Highest COR rating in their history. The new face combined with Double Power Trenches (Toe and Heel sides) create a “Double Repulsion Area”, an expanded sweet spot with more powerful spring effect and more forgiveness. DAIWA’s carbon technology fill the new SVF EX III shaft, creating a lightweight, strength, feel and maximum performance.”
Our take on the Daiwa GIII Signature Driver
Admittedly, this is a different kind of feature. We don’t expect many of our readers out there to bag this club, but when you see a beauty like this in the wild, you have to talk about it. This club is for the person that not only has everything but wants everything. This high-COR, Japan-inspired design and some amazing attention to detail that will perhaps get you to ignore the price tag.
Oh, and did we mention it’s made with real gold accents?
There’s an old saying attributed to American Financier J.P. Morgan: “If you have to ask, then you can’t afford it.” Most of us are in that boat. But if you view your driver as not only as an extra-hot performer but a symbol of status, look no further than the Daiwa GIII Signature. Features…
- Proprietary GIII neo-titanium face
- Super hot face with a COR of 0.875, which exceeds the USGA limit of 0.830
- Power Trenches for increased rebound effect
- Head shape inspired by an intricate, 12-layer kimono
- Intricate Edo Kuriko (traditional drinking glasses) etching on the sole and face
- Proprietary GIII shaft
- Envy of all your playing partners
In person, the face etching looks amazing and really stands out. Gold accents can be considered gaudy to some, so it’s really personal preference. Knowing it’s real gold and not simply colorized definitely helps in our eyes. The club is lighter weight overall and feels solid in your hands. We’d love to one day put its high-COR face through the paces on a FlightScope X3, but that’s for another day.
The Daiwa GIII Signature Driver is perhaps the ultimate form of club excess. Is it worth the $2,400 price tag? As the saying goes, “if you have to ask…”

They say this is the highest COR they have made while Wishon has got a driver close to 0.89 COR couple years ago. Have seen someone hit the older version G III before on Flightscope, did not really see any gain in ball speed.

That would be a nice face milling pattern for a putter. The driver itself, not for me.

Finally a company with the balls to market a high COR driver. Now market one under a different brand name that would retail for under $300 and watch it fly off the shelves.
