If you're looking for a high end set of clubs to make someone happy this Christmas, look no further than the Majesty Royale line of woods and irons. As per the nomenclature, giving someone you love a set of these “royal babies” would make for a kingly gift. The thing is, due to the hefty price tag, i.e. five hundred dollars irons ( per club) and $1000 drivers, we bet these are not on your golf-equipment watch list.

However, even if the Majesty Royale lineup is not necessarily aimed at the “middle class” of the United States golf market, since these things exist, it's pretty clear that the Japanese ( Tokyo based) company which makes them think there's still hope. All jokes aside, you must learn that Majesty was founded way back in 1971 as a division under Maruman. If you're a hard-core golf equipment aficionado, you probably remember that Ian Woosman won the masters in '91 using Maruman clubs, and the same stands true for the winner of the '94 Masters, Jose Maria Olazábal. Here's Adam Sheldon, the president of the company commenting on the success of the brand, which ended up becoming the company's name in 2018:

“The two names basically traded places due to the large growth of Majesty. These innovative, new products are in a class of their own. We spared no expense in creating them. From the exotic materials to the jewelry quality finishing techniques and overall performance engineering, we built the ultimate product for moderate swing speed golfers.”

If you take a look at the price tag, that is absolutely true, and we mean that literally. This is golf gear that will cost you just as much as designer jewelry, and, more than that, the Majesty Royale woods and irons actually justify their prices as they boast gold-toned finishes from the luxury world, as well as paper light shafts, exotic/cutting edge face milling and ultra-rare technologies and materials. Stiff prices and exotic stuff aside, if you're the owner of Majesty Royale gear is proof you have exquisite taste, i.e. you're that kind of golfer who not only looks for enhancing his distance potential (the gear is aimed at regular golfers with moderate swing speeds), but also for those who see their gear as a type of jewelry, as well as a tech-tool.

For example, even if the Majesty Royale driver's crown is built using banal 6-4 titanium alloy, it comes in a cutting edge 3 piece construction with high-density titanium in the sole and fullerene titanium in the neck. The latter is a lightweight titanium alloy that uses microscopic nanomaterials to make it stronger, and speaking of microscopic particles, these are smaller than human DNA strands. Yes, we know, that's boring, but wait for it, it gets even better: the shaft comes with dual layers of high elasticity carbon in the tip and middle of the shaft, for stabilizing purposes, obviously, and the shaft itself weighs a mere 41 to 45 grams. This peculiar design was chosen for allowing the 46.6” shaft to stay strong and stable, considering the ultra-lightweight shaft, which is almost thirty percent lighter compared to other high-end shafts on the market.

The driver head's internal structure consists of a thin/thick honeycomb-like material for saving weight, while the face features a spider web-like milling pattern, with variable thickness, which is crafted to improve the way the face flexes at impact, on both the fairway wood and the driver. Moreover, both hybrids and the fairway woods are built using exotic titanium alloy in the body and face, as well as tungsten alloy in the sole. Speaking of irons, they're also as cutting edge as it gets, featuring a multi-material construction, including an incredibly thin maraging steel face insert, which is 1.5 mm thin, while the groove inside the hollow cavity structure is literally ten times wider compared to the previous-gen Majesty irons. The redesigned structure of the irons gives more flexibility to the face, while the hollow cavity comes with a tungsten insert, for lowering the center of gravity in order to deliver higher launch in the 5- through 8-irons.

Considering the extremely long lofts, the tungsten is not a luxury but a real necessity, and we're talking here about a 21-degree 5-iron loft, that's the equivalent of a strong 4-iron in “normal” iron sets. The shafts are also ultra-light, weighing 46 to 51 grams, and if you consider the 35-gram grips, you end up with ultra-light irons that keep D-1 to D-0 swing weights.

Here comes the best part, i.e. how much you'll have to pay for the best gear in golf in 2019: the Majesty Royale driver costs one grand, or $1000, and it comes in 9.5-, 10.5- and 11.5-degree lofts. The fairway woods and hybrids cost $500 each and they arrive in 15-, 18 and 21-degree options in the woods and 18-, 21- and 24-degree options in the hybrids. The irons are “just” $500 per club and come in 5-iron through sand wedge. We know, it sounds like a lot, but if you want the best for the best, it doesn't get much better than this.
