Swook’s megathread of Japan Golf Equipment finds!

A 9-story golf store sounds like heaven. Amazing all the cool stuff the JDM gets that we'll never see here.
 
This is an awesome thread!
 
A Japan golf store trip is high on my list of I want to do that badly.

This is awesome
 
This is simply awesome.
 
Really cool stuff. How is Japan pricing compared to USA (for things available in both places)?
 
I would spend so much money in that store
 
I think I would be tempted to bring an empty travel bag folded up in my luggage. Or bring empty bag in there and then bring it home on the plane full:ROFLMAO:

I'm not sure a bag would hold everything I might buy from a store like that. Might need an empty cargo container. :ROFLMAO:

The trick is to buy the extra bag there and then fill it.

Me: I got a private jet for my Japan trip

Friend: Good idea that's a long flight

Me: Oh it's not for me, it's for the golf stuff I bought while I was there

Well I just touched down in Japan for the next week and a half and thought I’d create a thread with all the cool golf related stuff I come across during my time here! First stop is Victoria Golf, a 9 story golf store jam packed with stuff. It’s day one so holding off buying today but man there is some awesome stuff here. Thread will be photo heavy!

Starting off are two insane wedge lines from the RTZ and Vokey line we all know and love with the RT-I forged and Vokey Forged! These are top of my list to come home with as I want to leave the country with some memorable Japan exclusive piece of equipment View attachment 9418986View attachment 9418987View attachment 9418988

By far my favorite level in Victoria Golf was the Callaway floor dedicated to just Callaway equipment and accessories with a full fitting and putting bay. Presentation for the items is really cool with the metal wood heads displayed in a lit case plus shafts prominently displayed above them (including our beloved Powercore!)

What was the MOST cool was seeing the JP exclusive X Prototype irons and the WEDGES! Unfortunately when I asked if I can buy the wedges they said it’s demo only and will be released in April (which I sadly won’t be here then). The wedges looked really sharp and the Proto irons looked incredibly sleek as well

X Forged wedges!!?!?
 
Great thread - hanging on every post. Love some of the exclusives.

Japan is on my list to visit as well......need to tie it into an irons / wedges replacement cycle.
 
Japan is so freaking cool, really want to go there one day.
 
9 stories is crazy, super cool to see some of this stuff

@swook thank you for this.

I'd give my right eye for one of those Odyssey blade covers with the cherry blossoms.

they are so damn cool! would love the one with the classic building also featured on it.
 
I looked at the Victoria Golf website. This was the best Odyssey headcover I saw. They captured my anxiety so well.

The Japan market gets such good stuff.
