I am hoping someone can identify these Japanese Irons for me. I have searched but not found any useful information about the manufacturer  or the model.  The hosel of the irons (4-SW) are stamped with the name S.Wantabe.  The shaft has the following information on the label "Super Aero Stick 380. Super Extra Light Graphite. Made in Japan.
  Any information would be most welcome. Thanks for looking.

heres the putter  that goes with it

Morita Golf is supposedly one of the most oldest golf brands in Japan.   They now do most of their sales on line.    Some decent stuff like mild steel putter and forged wedges but others are not so good.  

I think they even had a limited edition putter hand made by Hiro Matsumoto at one point.  

 

Too bad ... they were in fact the very first Japanese golf equipment company founded in 1928.    Looks like they went out of business in the last couple of years.    Unfortunate.   I had one of their L putters for a bit.  It was basic but beautifully crafted.

Tks for response.. I am quite surprised by the ' others not so good' Quality appears better than most . I had opportunity to play a round with them today and was impressed....  shaft  excellent and from a performance point of view play much better than a set of Homna LB606 H&F's I had for a while.

Could be in my ageing years and rising handicap they just fit me now haha...

"apart for  them being non conforming of course !! "

Any idea of the reason for being non-conforming ?  Grooves or Springface or both ?

grooves. pre 2010

Tks.  Thought it might be the Aermet/Springface.

Anyone have information regarding the  lofts of these Morita Irons please.

Thanks for any info or links to where can locate information.

I doubt you can find loft information on that set ...   

But what you can do is to take the set to a local golf club builder and they should have a loft gauge to measure them for you. 

I think that would be the easiest. 

Yup Morita is the oldest.  I was about to buy the name on the cheap maybe 5+ years ago and decided not to.

Many thanks wil do.  Getting some idea from distances - appear to be a club shorter than my regular irons (R11's) and about the same as my friends Ping Eye2 s.

I imagine R11s would have stronger lofts for sure.   If those Moritas are older they are likely less strong lofted.
