+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Great Info, I always thought XXIO was the #1 seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2_2 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Cool stats Gocchin, cheers! Its neat to see what people are picking up over there, and I too was surprised that the Macgregor driver was more popular than the ViQ or XXIO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
master Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Also Mactec is cheaper than other drivers on average by 10 to 15,000 yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Also Mactec is cheaper than other drivers on average by 10 to 15,000 yen. And they go to discount (steep) very quickly particularly the older models when NX came out early this year. The NX had some good early review as well. I still have a Japanese version NV2 that I lend to friends on occassion and they make great FW. Edited May 31, 2007 by Duffer19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poekie Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Wow, no Titleist drivers, guess they're small over there. Also where are the Mizuno and Cleveland drivers etc. And also most sold drivers have high loft and regular shaft. I think Europe/US could learn from that!

Titleist does not have a Japanese version with the exception of shaft options. Cleveland made some lame attemp with a Japanese line but not caught on yet. Mizuno JPX E500 is #8. This is a list for ranking models sales and not brand sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
