Buying used clubs in Japan

Junior Golfer Posts : 172 Join date : 2010-02-04

In tokyo now. Saw some used D-1 in the used club shops today. Very tempted to buy them.... But i dont have real need for them... then again we never bought clubs because we need it right? Smile

otherwise marketplace will be such a boring place....

Need help from GRians here. If you are here will you buy?

Some indication of prices
Ryoma D-1 USD350-420
Ryoma D-1 v-spec USD 400-550
Ryoma D-1 Maxima USD 800-900

Didn't see much of others.. Some of the Yamaha drivers are relatively cheap. Saw a Z202 going for USD250.

bro,

any used Honma set?

Junior Golfer Posts : 130 Join date : 2012-09-24

the maximas are same price as in SG

Ryomas D1, if new, is considered still ok

Junior Golfer Posts : 130 Join date : 2012-09-24

for sure they sell cheaper there compared to Rakuten

haha

Will check out the Honmas. Only remember seeing this very chio "tour world" steel shaft set. USD 1300. Condition looks 9/10

For head covers what do guys here want? I don't mind getting a few back...

Putters drivers n woods head covers will be well received here

But dont buy those costly ones

Will be hard to sell if its overly costly

Can give me some indication of pricing and type? I have never bought any head covers. I had always asked my friends in china to make out of rejected soft toys... Smile

If it is good enough to be presented to the US President by the PM of Japan.
The question would be why not Yamada?

Idk, maybe because it can get windy on the course at times and they are worried their bags might fly away? Hahaha!
