Title describes it all.

Yes of course conforming. All JDM models released since late 2009 from major brands are conforming.

The problem is that many like myself are only now learning of the Japanese producers and cannot easily identify the " major brands ". Compounding the problem is that many or possibly most producers are boutique operations and sometimes get mixed with the similarly boutique operations that produce with pretensions.

Many hopefuls enter the market these days and do so with pretensions, both from Japan and from the USA. It's difficult to identify the reliable producers from ads alone especially as so many of the well known brands along with the new guys are getting their clubs at least partly made in China. What is a poor ignorant like myself to do ? I don't want to study the sellers.

Maybe a nice published summary of the manufacturers would be a good addition to this website if it listed their age, number of products, manner of manufacture and source of manufacture. Probably more information would help, but you get my drift, I hope.

Hi Shambles,

sorry I should have said mainstream brands, not major brands though I guess they could be considered the same ie Tourstage, Srixon, Taylormade, Titleist, Callaway, Nike, Mizuno, Yamaha and to a lesser note, Royal collection, ONOFF, Fourteen and others.

Where what is made and who makes what is a confusing matter even for us as brands regularly switch production based on economic reasons.

Yes of course conforming. All JDM models released since late 2009 from major brands are conforming.

Thanks Good to know. I thought so but was unsure.

T are you still gaming the VG3's with Tour AD's?

Still playing the VG3 yes. I have been toying with the idea of trying another iron but nothing has motivated me to switch.
