Are there any golf mags for Japanese market , printed in English, that you can get delivered to the US??? One focusing on equipment would be perfect, but I would be interested regardless. Thx, Skip

    Clubs I can actually play, not think I can play. Put the ego aside to focus on improving my score.
Unfortunately it would not make sense to print magazines in English if they were for the Japanese market so there aren't any. Its really too bad too as JDM magazines are top notch and go so indepth and technical in their writeups.

The magazines are amazing.

If you have questions about J-Spec equipment or need recommendations or fittings, please send me an email at gocchin@tourspecgolf.com (email is best)

What a dummy, I never thought of that. I had a really good translation software on an other computer (yrs ago) But Russian-English. It worked good, but not great. Got about 80 to 85% correct. Im sure its available, but it would probably be $$$$$

There is this site to Golf Digest Japan http://www.golfdigest.co.jp/ but the Google auto translate quality is horrendus...

I thought of using a scan translator pen but would imagine that the quality of the translation would be off as well
