Posted November 18, 20159 yr Anyone ever hit this? I used to love the Vaquish XR. Maruman is on another level, similar to Honma in how they produce really high quality golf clubs. XR series has been discontinued :( I've got one 9.5 | Stiff new left. it seems Maruman who are near the top of the food chain in the luxury segment has a difficult time cracking the better players market. The Vanquish XR was a driver I didn't consistently hit well but there was a nice stretch of weeks I was in love with it and yes with a stock shaft. It's a 460cc head with a deep dark look to it made of grade 5 Titanium and a proritary face called 438FG-X even the hosel was fullerene Titanium. Stock shaft is 50T carbon + fullerene carbon in silver IP and black gradient. Everything about this club was right, it just didn't get the traction it deserved, lets hope they use a similar model in what we hope to be a future XR series.
November 19, 20159 yr omg what a beauty. even the ferrule! I want to get ferrules like that for my woods and driver
November 23, 20159 yr This might be the sleekest model of Majesty line by Maruman! Can't believe they come up with such a clean, simple, sharp and sleek design in the Majesty line-up. The only thing complicated about the new club may be the " Tatoo" on the club face, but which looks pretty cool to me. Maruman puts up some weights to the new driver and cut down the price tag a bit. Both are very good news, aren't they? Hope we can see more hands-on report about the new club at TSG.

November 24, 20159 yr I like this new one better. If Darth Vader played golf, he'd have this in his bag! :)
November 25, 20159 yr Thank you Chris for clearing that out for me. Can't wait to see your review on this one. I saw a launching video clip by Maruman on youtube. The club looks amazing.
November 27, 20159 yr Looks great - but note that all the materials specified are the same as the outgoing model, so will be interested to hear what advancements have been made to this new driver - apart from the face stamping.
December 23, 20159 yr the new driver and new irons already available - interesting to see what users think of them.
January 9, 20169 yr like this driver - feels good off the face as many of the Maruman's do and the distance was better than average for me.
January 9, 20169 yr Congrats on your new driver! I really like the shape of the head, nice and deep. How's the forgiveness of this driver. Also can you tell us a bit about the standard shaft? ( kick, feel )
January 10, 20169 yr Mine has the bamboo-look SANKI shaft and you might never see a more beautiful driver -- might just put it on the wall because it is too impressive-looking to play. I have so far found the club head itself to be reasonably forgiving with a good feel to it - not harsh. Also have the Romaro Alpha which is probably longer, but doesn't feel quite as good.
