Known primarily in Asia, Maruman hopes to make inroads in the U.S. with the Vanquish driver, for better players. It uses a super-hard proprietary titanium called Fullerene that allows for an ultra-thin face and “outrageous ball propulsion at impact.” The stock shaft is Fujikura’s innovative Rombax.
