1 DRAGON GOLF
The blacksmith profession has always had a high reputation in Japan. The Japanese emperor Go-Toba learned this profession himself and became a respected swordsmith. The creative period Go-Toba is seen as the beginning of the "golden age of blacksmithing" in Japan. The knowledge of steel and its properties as well as the experience in working with it have been passed on from generation to generation and are being refined continuously.
This knowledge is applied to golf clubs today. Anyone familiar with golf knows that the best golf clubs are coming from Japan. Most well-known manufacturers - including the Japanese - now have their products manufactured abroad. But there are exceptions. AhandfulofJapanesemanufacturershave specialised in transferring the traditional knowledge of blacksmithing to the production of golf clubs - as far as possible.
2 The production takes place on the basis of the traditional knowledge and a high level of manual dexterity. This wealth of experience guarantees the quality of these masterly products in the truest sense of the word. Dragon Golf is partner to some of these manufacturers. It is our goal to offer these masterful golf clubs a platform in Europe. It is important to tell the history and background of these handicraft businesses as well as to convey Japanese traditions and philosophies. Japanese traditions and philosophies are firmly anchored in Japanese society. They are reflected in the manual manufacturing processes and have a major impact on most of our products. Wabi-Sabi, to mention just one philosophical direction, is an aesthetic lesson from Japan. It is essentially based on the acceptance of imperfection and the inevitable. Examples of Wabi-Sabi are visible traces of processing, intentionally raw surfaces or the deliberate omission of high-gloss polish etc. Between the different sections in this catalog, we would like to convey some of these traditions and philosophies. In order to be able to offer the best products, we are in constant contact with the manufacturers - also on site in Japan. On the following pages we would like to introduce the manufacturers and their products that we represent.
3 TAKUMI JAPAN
Takumi Japan is based in Hyogo Prefecture, approximately 30 km north of Himeji, in the city of Ichikawa, the nucleus of forged Japanese golf clubs. Takumi Japan is the own brand of one of the oldest and most renowned golf club forges in Japan: Kyoei Golf. Kyoei produces forged prototypes and exclusive series for many well-known golf club manufacturers. President Sakamoto-san had the vision to create his own brand: Takumi Japan. ATakumiisthehighestcrafttitleinJapan. In contrast to Europe, where the master title is awarded to the most skilled craftsmen, there is still the Takumi in Japan. Takumi literally means "artisan", but this translation does not do represent the meaning properly. To become a Takumi, outstanding skill and dexterity must be demonstrated in at least 60,000 hours. 60,000 hours of dedication and continuous improvement (kaizen) that affect the quality of the product!
4 The fact is, with an 8-hour day and approximately 230 working days per year, 60,000 hours are more than 32 years. For the production of a Takumi Japan club - mostly made by hand - up to 80 individual process steps are necessary, most of them which can only be carried out by the Takumi. The design of the different models comes from Keisuke Sakamoto. All models are personally designed and constructed by Sakamoto-san. From the sketch to the finished club head - everything under one roof. The classic designs appeal to minimalists and aesthetes alike. Of course, specification changes can be made for all models (Loft & Lie). At Takumi Japan, this takes place immediately after the forging and thus long before the club is finished - in contrast to the "bar stock", which is "bent" in the finished state, which in turn has a negative effect on the coating and the structure. Adjusting before grinding has advantages for the structure of the steel and positive effects on the development of an individual feel. Other special requests can also be considered on demand and after consultation of Takumi Japan. Takumi Japan - all the experience and craftsmanship from Ichikawa combined in one brand!
5 TJ TYPE N VINTAGE MODEL
Forged from a single billet mild carbon steel (S25C) - in one piece - from the hosel to the club face. The Type-N Iron unites the workability of a players iron, with the forgiveness of a cavity back. The additional CNC-milling improves the feel, even with non-optimum strikes of the ball. Abitstrongerloftedthan„true-lofted irons,thereislengthimprovementcomparedto club heads with identical club number. The thin top line gives confidence in addressing the ball and is uncommon for non-bladed irons and gives this club a very sporty appearance. Due to the complexity of the club, only a few sets per month can be manufactured. Made to Order.

AtrueMuscleBack-nocompromise. This muscle back iron, developed with latest technology and traditionally forged, offers the maximum workability of all Takumi Japan irons. The raw material is hand selected to control the carbon content to a tolerance of - 0,01 . After the forging and notching, the steel is annealed three times longer than typical forged irons, to allow a smooth creation of the microstructure and to improve the feel even more. Due to the elaborate, manual manufacturing, only a few sets can be produced per month.

The longest club head ever forged at Takumi Japan, which has as well one of the thinnest top lines: the TJ KCB model. The result is a club with plenty of forgiveness due to the bigger sweet spot but with a blade like appearance, which gives confidence at addressing the ball. The bigger head has been manufactured in a modern compound forging process and has atimelessandcleanlook. The KCB is true-lofted and is opposed to current trends of stronger lofted irons.

14 JAPAN: WABI-SABI PE FECTION TH O GH IMPE FECTION
As already mentioned in the first section of this catalog, we would like to give an insight into the different traditions and philosophies, which undoubtedly have an influence on the Japanese culture and thus also on the products we are distributing. AnotablephilosophyisWabi-Sabi. Wabi lonely Sabi old Acleartranslationisnotpossible,butthemeaningand impact of Wabi-Sabi can be seen everywhere in Japan. It is an aesthetic concept that is based on the acceptance of imperfection and is closely related to en Buddhism. Wabi-Sabi is used in the evaluation of beauty and determines the appearance of many objects in daily use. There are also things in nature that are perceived as beautiful in the sense of Wabi-Sabi. Examples: knotty pine trees, bonsai, moss-overgrown stone, visible traces of processing and scoring on golf clubs, inclusions on pottery and patina, just to name a few. It is also in the sense of Wabi-Sabi that objects do not lose their beauty if they show signs of wear.
On the contrary: they gain beauty.
15 MTG STUDIO
MTG stands for Mayuki Takai Golf. Takai-san, the president and master of MTG, comes from a golf-loving family. Already as a young boy he was taken to the golf course by his grandfather and was immediately hooked up on golf. p to the age of 30 he was focused on professional golf and pursued a career as a professional golfer. However, his life turned around at the age of 30. He started to focus on golf club production. After ten years of work and studies at a small golf club manufacturer and more than thirty years in golf, Takai- san decided to found his own factory in Toyoake (approx. 25 km southeast of Nagoya). MTG Studio break conventions and manufacture perhaps the most uncompromising and honest golf clubs in the world. The forged blanks of the irons and wedges come from the renowned Kyoei Golf forge and are personally handcrafted by the master in a unique way.
16 Ichi-Ittobori is a grinding technique that was previously used on swords. The coarse grinding technique removes a lot of material within a very short time, which means that the base material is heated up less and thus the hardness is not changed much. As a result, the club feels softer at the moment of impact. In addition, the Itobori technique gives an incomparable appearance and improves the interaction with the ground (turf interaction) in the swing. This MTG-typical look is also continued in the woods. Another specialty of MTG is the ginrei technique, which also comes from traditional sword and knife manufacturing. The material is cold forged and compressed again by a forging hammer prior to coating. All the lofts and lies specified on the following pages are standard values, which can, however, be changed individually immediately after forging and well before the clubs are finished. The individual personalisation (embossing, welding) and production according to customer requirements in connection with eight different coatings and ferrules allows countless combinations and make the MTG Studio clubs true individual pieces. Made to order. Made in Japan. Made for you!
1 GINREI IRON MB M SCLE BACK
The Ginrei irons come from the same forging die as the Itobori irons and are identical until they are processed by Master Takai-san himself. In contrast to the Itobori technique, the Ginrei irons have a traditional sole grind. The specialty of the Ginrei iron is the subsequent rework of the material by another manual forging process. This technique creates the inimitable ginrei look, which is based on the traditional knife production in Japan (Gyuta, Santoku, Bunka, etc.).

Handmade by Master Takai-san himself. MTG Itobori iron. Each clubs is unique, as individual as the player who wields it.
The carefully forged S25C blank from Kyoei is cooled down extremely slow after forging in order to optimise the microstructure developing while crystallation and thereby achieve an extremely soft feeling at the moment of impact. The elaborate grinding technique on the sole, based on traditional sword manufacturing methods, improves ground contact (Turf Interaction) and the soft feel furthermore. One of the most honest clubs in the world.

The Cavity Back is the tamer brother of the Itobori MB. The cavity behind the face increases the sweet spot and offers more forgiveness. Ideal for the longer irons in combination with the muscle backs for the shorter irons, for example 5 - CB & 8 - PW MB. Like the MB, each MTG CB iron is available in eight different coatings.

Analogous to the Itobori CB, the Ginrei CB is a bit more tame and forgiving. The ginrei technique is also used on the back - forging hammer blows by hand in order to cold-form the material again, to solidify it and thus preserve the appearance of traditional Japanese knives. Ideal in combination with the MBs for the shorter irons and the CBs for the longer irons. Also available in eight coatings.

MTG Studio have never closed themselves to current development trends, but have always followed them openly and with interest. One example is the development of Itobori NC iron. Forged from S20C and then CNC machined, it appeals to a wide range of golfers. From high to low handicapper - here you will find an iron that is forgiving and, thanks to its wider sole, has good sliding properties, so that you won t dig in when hitting fat shots. The lofts are based on modern irons in order to achieve more width with the same club number. The center of gravity is optimized across all clubs to improve ball flight. Like almost all MTG clubs also available in all MTG coatings.

The raw forged part comes, as with the Itobori Irons and Wedges, from the traditional forge Kyoei. Here, the material is cold forged and reshaped by hammer blows in the same way as the Ginrei MB and CB which creates the incomparable Ginrei look. The Ginrei Wedge is also available in all eight coatings. In contrast to the Itobori Wegdes, the back surface is polished again after coating. This reveals the basic coating and creates a smooth transition between the polished and hammered surface. As with all MTG Wedges, the bounce angles can be choosen freely.

34 JAPAN: SHIBUI S BTLE BEA T
Another interesting philosophy of aesthetics is Shibui or Shibusa. Similar to Wabi-Sabi, Shibui is a theory of aesthetics, which, however, can not only be applied to objects, but also to human attributes, creative works such as music or sporting achievements. There are seven elements of Shibui: simplicity, implicity, modesty, naturalness, ordinariness, imperfection and silence. There is definitely an overlap with Wabi-Sabi here, but items made according to the Shibui philosophy tend to be more reserved. Shibui items are obviously simple and subtle, but they often include details such as feel or texture on the surface. This balance between simplicity and complexity ensures that you don t get tired of Shibui objects but they look constantly interesting and often (analogous to Wabi-Sabi) gain beauty and you can enjoy them for an endlessly long time. Finally, it should be mentioned that Japanese aesthetics also have strong influences on the western world. For example, Walter Gropius was very impressed by Japanese aesthetics (and architecture) that it certainly had an influence on the "Bauhaus" art school he founded.
35 TEAM YOSHIMURA
Team oshimura is located in Kobe. The capital of the Hyogo Prefecture is located on Honshu, the largest island of Japan, near the city of Osaka. The first golf course in Japan was opened in Kobe in 1 03. There are now more than 2,800 golf courses in Japan. Japan is the world s second largest golf market after the nited States of America. Team oshimura is located in Port Island Golf Club Kobe, not far from Japan s oldest golf course. Team oshimura was founded in 1 88 by one of the best known and most respected golf club fitters and golf instructors in Japan, Tadayoshi oshimura. oshimura-san decided more than 30 years ago to design and manufacture his own golf clubs. Team oshimura is now managed by Jyunya oshimura in the second generation. Furthermore, the services offered - in addition to the design and manufacture of golf clubs - were extended to other business areas.
36 ecognised golf club testers work in the oshimura team and provide valuable information about the clubs tested. Their test results will be published in golf magazines and newspapers. Team oshimura has hired four professional golfers to perform these tests. Golf lessons are also still offered in the surrounding large driving ranges. These take place in excellently equipped video booths, which support the golf student during lessons using the latest technology. Team oshimura also offers lessons in golf club construction and fitting. All of these activities form the basis for the development and construction of their own golf clubs. In particular, the experience gained from golf swing analysis and golf club tests are incorporated into the new development of golf clubs in order to address a wide range of players. To appeal to this diverse audience, Team oshimura also works with non-Japanese manufacturers (e.g. Korea) and can therefore offer an excellent price- performance ratio. Team oshimura focuses on long fairway woods and drivers but game improvement irons and traditional golf club designs are also developed and produced for awideaudience.
3 P 3 IRON WO LD ECO D
The ultimate game improvement iron. With a coefficient of restitution of 0,84 (CO value), the P 300 is the sole record holder world wide. This means that more energy enters the ball when it comes into contact with the club face, causing it to fly further compared to any other club. This is achieved by a low center of gravity in connection with a 1.8mm thin face made out of 455 maraging steel. The sweet spot on the P 300 is 4x the size of a conventional iron.

52 JAPAN: IKI & YABO SOPHISTICATION
The aesthetic concept of Iki originated in the Tokugawa period (1 th - 18th centuries) of Japan. Translated, Iki means something like "chic". Iki was originally a contemporary expression for Wabi- Sabi, but developed into an independent interpretation. Iki is an expression of sophistication, elegance, delicacy, impermanence and in some parts also romance. Conversations or correspondences are primarily assessed with Iki, but personal attributes and traits are also associated with it. It is also used to describe appealing things that a person has said or done. Examples of this are masterful craftsmanship, distinguished behavior or courtesy. The opposite of Iki is abo. abo can be translated as rough and is usually associated with Samurai. Even if Samurai are considered cultivated and well- educated, the martial craft that they practice is anything but noble behavior and is accordingly referred to as abo.
53 CGS ORION
CGS Orion was founded in 2015 by Koji esugi, who previously worked for a well-known golf club manufacturer for many years.
esugi-san has set itself the goal of producing the highest quality and purest golf club heads imaginable.
To achieve this, CGS Orion is following an unconventional path.
Hyogo Prefecture, and in particular the sorroundings of the city of Himeji, is undoubtedly home to the best blacksmiths.
Here, experienced craftsmen work with fire and steel to produce the best forged blanks, used for golf clubs.
The grinders in Hyogo, which form the face of the club, are also beyond any doubt.
However, to get a special look, CGS Orion polishes its irons in one of the last steps.
Polishing soft steel such as that used primarily for CGS Orion s golf clubs is a craft that may seem trivial at first glance.
However, the soft steel is very susceptible to mechanical damage and scratches from polishing and requires a careful approach.
So esugi-san looked for the most experienced polishers in the country - and found it.
54 The country s best polishers come from the cold north of Japan. From the Niigata Prefecture.
To be precise from the city of Tsubame.
The area around Tsubame is known worldwide for its polishing technology.
Many companies have their products refined there - for example Apple s iPod, western cutlery and optics for satellites.
600km north of Hyogo, generations of artisans have dealt with the complex process of polishing steel.
To achieve a good result, you need skill, a feel for the material and, above all, patience.
esugi-san describes this patience has its origins in Niigata s natural environmental circumstances.
In this snowy area, people used to be snowed in, and polishing was a time-consuming activity that bridged the winter well.
The unique feature of CGS Orion is the combination of the artisan skills of two prefectures and the consistent striving to produce the best golf club heads.
Furthermore, CGS Orion offers a high degree of customer- specific customisations, especially for the wedges.
This includes stamping and embossing, different coatings and surface treatments.
The result is perhaps the highest quality, most personal and most elaborate golf club of all time.
CGS Orion - nothing but the best.
55 CLOSER IRON MB M SCLE BACK
Forged and CNC machined from carefully selected S20C material, which contains a little less carbon and is therefore a little softer and more ductile. The individual machining process creates a center of gravity optimised for each club across all irons. The V-shaped thickening behind the clubface varies from club to club. Furthermore, the sole is optimised across all irons. A partially polished chrome-nickel on copper layer serves as the surface which improves the soft feel furthermore. For purists, this model is also available "raw" and after a while, a rust layer forms here, which has a positive influence on the spin behavior. With a little care with oil, the raw look can be preserved.

With extreme care, part of the back surface of the blade is polished by a takumi from Niigata prefecture. As soon as you pull the club out of your bag you can feel the specialty, quality and fascination that this club emanates. The club is designed to provide a lot of confidence and security when addressing the ball that advanced players prefer, creating an absolute dream club.

The Old.New Type-C is a classic wedge with a gooseneck and a wide sole. Gooseneck means that the club has a lot of offset between the leading edge and the shaft. This gives players who tend to come up against the ball steeply or players who tend to "spoon" (hands behind the ball) the chance to have a better ball contact at impact. The wide sole offers very good sliding properties. The entire back surface of the wedge is polished and available in two coatings: chrome-nickel on copper and black satin. Forged from low-alloy S25C it is available in many bounce angles, varying from 8 - 13 .

66 JAPAN: MIYABI ACCEPTANCE OF IMPE MANENCE
Miyabi is one of the oldest Japanese aesthetic ideals, but not quite as widely used and popular as Wabi-Sabi or Iki. Translated into modern Japanese, the term means "elegance". The ancient translation, however, means something like the absence of anything vulgar or the sharpening of good manners. Many sources equate Miyabi with Mono no aware, which means bittersweet. Examples that are related to Miyabi are mostly ephemeral things. The acceptance of impermanence and the melancholy that goes with it are hallmarks of Miyabi. Specifically, these could be flowering trees such as cherry trees in Japan (sakura) or en gardens with their fragile sculptures made of sand, which are created in different forms every day anew. This ritual of new creation and the acceptance that this will have to be repeated shortly is lived Miyabi.
6 MAKINO GOLF
Makino Golf was founded in 1 88 as "Makino Sports". During this time, the Japanese economy and the domestic golf sector were booming. This was a time when it was quite common to see plenty golfers in luxurious golf & country clubs with even more luxurious golf clubs. At the end of the 1 80s, it was not uncommon to be able to buy pompous, gold-decorated golf clubs in Japan, which cost more than 1,000,000 yen ( ,000) each. It was at this time that Makino Sports entered the golf stage. However, Makino was different. The brand was known for its minimalist, handmade, forged muscle backs that were only available and made to order. Makino Sports was ahead of its time and unfortunately was unable to attract a large number of golfers. However, Makino developed a cult-like status in the community of advanced players and tour professionals, from whom they received great support. In the early 1 0s, however, the brand was forgotten. After 25 years, the brand underwent a new start in 201 under new management. Makino Sports became Makino Golf.
68 After the restart, Makino does not forget where they come from. Makino was and is always made from the highest quality materials of Japanese standards (JIS). The production still takes place on Japanese soil and is carried out with the same passion and attention to detail by the most experienced masters of assorted forges. The design of the golf clubs always starts with the face. So the only part of the club that the player sees when addressing the ball. Makino invented a unique coating because the view of the player is the main focus while the development of the club heads. This coating is the "ice blast finish" - represented in the company logo indicated by an ice crystal ( ). Here, after the chrome plating in a further process in connection with ice, the coating is matted. This creates a matt silver chrome layer which significantly reduces reflections and annoying, shiny glares. Another option at Makino is to keep the surface in its raw state: " aw Finish". This creates an oxide layer on the club, which can positively influence the spin behavior and creates an even more original feel. With proper care (oiling after use) a golden color of the club can be achieved and maintained. Makino - for the eye of the player.
6 PRO LTD STANDA D MODEL
The last production model from Makino Sport from 1 2 has now been reissued with the latest manufacturing technology. Made from high-quality S20C, it is refined with Makino s own Ice Blast process after grinding and coating. This creates a unique appearance and also reduces irritating reflections. Both the sole and the back surface are the thinnest in Makino s history, ensuring a low center of gravity. All of this makes this club a model that rightly bears the name Pro.

The term ugen is probably the most difficult to describe aspect of aesthetics in Japanese culture. Literally translated, it means something like dark , deep or mysterious . Today, ugen is related to profane, subtle things that are only hinted at or only reveal themselves at second glance. Vanishing details or indicated transitions can also be assigned to ugen. A sunset behind a forested mountain, a ship that vanishes in the fog on the horizon, flocks of birds that disappear behind the clouds, shapes or things that can be seen in smoke plumes - all of these are examples of ugen. The artist Katsuhiko Hokusai (1 60 - 184 ) deserves special mention, whose pictures are often ambiguous or only reveal themselves after a long look. With regard to our golf clubs, it could be the transition between a polished and a ground surface or the fine changes in direction of the grinding tracks created by amaster shand. Different perspectives on the same object and the resulting visual effects are an expression of ugen too.
