Who writes this, why it's written from Japan, and the rules we hold ourselves to.
Fifteen years playing, best score 74, around 30 rounds a year — and ten years working inside the Japanese golf industry. I read the manufacturers' Japanese spec sheets because they are the only ones I have.

Crypto Golf Club is a Japanese-language golf publication. It has been running daily and it is not going anywhere. So why write in English at all?
Because there is a specific gap I keep running into from the other side. Search in English for a Miura, an Epon, a Fourteen, or for what a Japanese shaft's flex rating actually means, and you get a handful of forum threads and a lot of confident guessing. Almost none of it comes from someone who can read the maker's own catalogue, walk into the shop, or ask the fitter directly.
That is the only thing this English section is for. Japan-domestic equipment, Japanese shafts, and playing golf in Japan. I am not going to write another "best drivers of 2026" list — there are twenty of those and they are all better resourced than I am. I am going to write the things that being in Japan lets me write.
If something here is wrong — a spec, a price, a claim about availability in your country — tell me and I will fix it and note the change. Japanese gear information is genuinely hard to pin down, and I would rather be corrected than confident.
