Where to Buy Used Japanese Golf Clubs in Australia (2026 Guide)
Australian golfers chasing premium used Japanese clubs have historically had two options: pay full retail at a local pro shop, or take a gamble on a marketplace listing and hope the grading is honest. There's now a third — a specialist that sources directly in Japan, grades every club, and ships Australia-wide — and it's changing how serious golfers here shop for equipment.
Rising Sun Clubs is an Adelaide-based online store that sources pre-loved golf equipment directly from Japan on regular buying trips and ships Australia-wide. Every club is individually inspected and graded before it's listed. Here's exactly how our sourcing works.
Why Japanese Golf Equipment Is Sought After in Australia
Japan's domestic golf market is one of the largest in the world, and the culture around equipment quality is extremely high. Japanese golfers replace their clubs more frequently and maintain them more carefully than almost any other market. That means pre-loved gear out of Japan is often in exceptional condition — at a fraction of original retail. Premium graphite shafts (Tour AD, Diamana, Tensei) are also frequently fitted as standard, so you often get a better-specced club than you'd find on the domestic used market.
Brands like Miura, Honma, Mizuno, PING, Titleist and TaylorMade are all popular in Japan, and all appear regularly in our inventory.
What Makes Rising Sun Clubs Different
Most second-hand golf equipment sold in Australia comes from local sellers with no standardised grading. You might get exactly what you paid for — or you might not.
We use a transparent, plain-English grading system so you know exactly what condition you're buying before the parcel leaves Adelaide. Every listing includes condition notes, and we only list equipment we stand behind.
📋 See the full club grading guide — every grade (Excellent/New, Great, Good, Average, Poor) is clearly defined, so there are no surprises when your clubs arrive.
What's Currently Available
The range spans drivers, fairway woods, iron sets, wedges, hybrids and utilities, and putters from Miura, Mizuno, Honma, PING, Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, Srixon, Bettinardi and more. Stock rotates regularly as new shipments arrive from Japan.

Can I Request a Specific Club?
Yes. If the club you want isn't in stock, submit a club sourcing request and we'll look for it on the next Japan shipment. This is especially useful for left-handed players or anyone after a specific shaft spec that doesn't appear often on the used market.

Where can I buy used Japanese golf clubs in Australia?
Rising Sun Clubs sources premium pre-owned clubs directly in Japan, grades each one, and ships Australia-wide from Adelaide — so you skip the language barrier, proxy services and freight of buying from Japan yourself.
Are used Japanese golf clubs good quality?
Generally excellent. Japanese owners tend to care for their gear meticulously and upgrade often, and the market has a mature grading culture, so used Japanese clubs typically arrive in better condition than used clubs from many other markets.
Do Japanese clubs come with better shafts?
Often, yes. Premium graphite shafts like Tour AD, Diamana and Tensei are frequently fitted as standard on Japan-market clubs, where they'd be a costly aftermarket upgrade elsewhere.
Can I buy left-handed Japanese clubs in Australia?
Yes — left-handed clubs appear less often, so the best approach is to submit a club sourcing request and we'll look for your spec on the next Japan buying trip.
How much does shipping cost?
Flat-rate shipping from $30 anywhere in Australia, and free on orders over $600, shipped from Adelaide.
