Forged Golf Clubs & Japanese Imports, Explained Properly
Most golfers are sold clubs.Very few are taught why certain clubs perform differently.
JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) forged golf clubs are built to tighter tolerances, purer materials, and a different design philosophy than mass-market alternatives.
JD M Golf exists to explain those differences properly — without hype, without brand bias, and without pushing what doesn’t suit your swing.
Why Japanese Forged Clubs Are Different.
Japanese manufacturers prioritise precision forging, material purity, and consistency rather than distance claims or cosmetic refreshes.
That difference shows up in feel, dispersion, turf interaction, and long-term performance — especially for golfers who value feedback and control.
What “forged” actually means in Japan
In Japan, forging is about grain flow, repeatability, and precision — not just softness at impact. Most JDM heads are forged in smaller batches, finished by hand, and measured to tighter tolerances than mass-market global releases.
