IF IT IS TRUE, AS THE GOLFING ADAGE contends, that you “drive for show” (and “putt for dough”), then each of the clubs pictured here presents the ideal combination off the tee, promising to add not only yards to your game, but cachet to your bag. The Honma Beres MG712 4-Star driver ($1,700, www.honmagolf.com) features a titanium-crowned head that conforms to USGA standards yet, according to its Japanese manufacturer, propels the ball farther than most nonconforming clubs do. The driver’s performance owes more to its titanium and carbon-fiber construction than to the 24-karat-gold embellishments on the head of the shaft…Also from Japan-and also accented with gold-is the Maruman Majesty Prestigio ($2,500, www.maruman.co.jp/english). Made with titanium that is only a few grades below diamond strength, the club’s ultrathin face keeps head weight to a minimum without sacrificing distance…Porsche may be associated more with speed than with distance, but the new Porsche Design Reax 55 ($1,250, www.porsche-design.com) provides ample length of the tee. Styled by Porsche and built by TaylorMade, the club features movable weight technology that can be adjusted to your swing. -Oliver Slosser
