Summary

  • Collaboration is designed to showcase HONMA’s craftsmanship and Malbon’s modern aesthetic
  • Two complete club sets for men and women: Premium ($20K USD) and Performance ($5,800 USD)
  • The collection includes matching synthetic leather bags and accessories, available now via HONMA

There’s premium, and then there’s the Malbon x HONMA golf clubs. Anyone familiar with the Japanese manufacturer won’t be surprised by the lofty price tags—HONMA is known for crafting drivers made with 14-karat gold and platinum that retail for over $5,000 USD. But despite its prestige in Japan, the brand remains relatively under the radar in the U.S., making this collaboration with Malbon Golf a chance for some cross-pollination.

The collection delivers what HONMA loyalists value most: complete, meticulously built sets that run from driver all the way down to putter. Each set is offered in two tiers—Premium and Performance—for both men and women. The price difference ($20,000 USD for Premium vs. $5,800 USD for Performance) comes down to material quality and build precision, such as forged versus cast irons and adjustability across the lineup.

Rounding things out are matching accessories, including small totes and larger travel bags made from synthetic leather and detailed with Malbon and HONMA co-branding. The full range is available now through HONMA’s website.
