Golf Equipment Industry News in Japan (as of October 10, 2025)

The immediate news concerning the Japanese golf equipment industry points to the following key trends:

1. New Products and Bestsellers

• According to the sales rankings for the first half of 2025 (though not covering the exact date, these are the latest trends):

• In the irons category, the Srixon ZXi5 Irons were reported as the best-selling model in Japan. The updated TaylorMade P790 (2025 model) was also highly ranked, highlighting the focus on technological innovation to improve both distance and feel.

• The PING G440 MAX Fairway Wood topped its category, indicating strong support for models that combine distance, forgiveness, and a high launch angle.

• Professional Player Gear is drawing significant attention, with reports on players like Erika Hara introducing a new "Kirin putter" for her first domestic tournament of the season. Articles were also published on clubs like the Yamaha 'RMX DD'.

• The equipment used by amateur stars is also a hot topic, with the 16-year-old long-drive queen, Ai Goto, reported to be using an unreleased "red-and-black zero-torque" shaft.

2. Sustainability and Facility Innovation

• A notable development is the focus on sustainability in golf facilities. O-Hakone Country Club introduced "SHIBAHU Plates" (natural grass plates) at a section of its driving range, allowing golfers to hit off natural turf instead of artificial mats. This initiative is being promoted as a way to "reduce waste and reduce scores."

3. Industry Performance (Based on the Latest Public Filings)

• While not specific to golf equipment, the latest financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2025 from major sports goods manufacturers like Mizuno indicated strong overall performance, with good figures reported for their global football and indoor sports businesses, and their domestic workwear business. This suggests a potentially stable environment for related sports sectors.

In summary, while there were no immediate reports of major product launches or industry restructuring on this date, the industry is seeing strong sales for high-performance clubs, increased emphasis on sustainability in facilities, and significant interest in the gear used by both professional and top amateur players.
