Quality club fitter near NAF Atsugi, Camp Zama, NS Yokosuka or Yokota AFB?

[ALTSean]

Anyone who lives in Japan or lived in Japan know a quality club fitter near the military bases to the west of Tokyo? English speaking would be ideal. Looking for basic stuff like loft and lie, pulling and installing shafts. I'll probably start re-gripping clubs myself, but do not have the tools or space for a loft / lie machine or shaft puller. Thanks in advance for your help!

Look in the directory in the international clubmakers guild website. clubmakersguild.com. I know they have a very strong Asian membership.

I checked their site and could only find two clubmakers listed in all of Japan and neither were near Tokyo. Any other suggestions or ideas?

According to the Golf5 website, there is a shop in Yokosuka. Most all of them can do repairs and pull/change shafts, or they send them to one of their shops that does the work. I can't believe that no one in the Atsugi course shop can't do this or steer you to someone or someplace that does the work.

In the old days, all the courses in Japan had someone who worked on clubs, but they all died and the new generation is apparently useless.

Can't the pro shop at Camp Zama help you out? They do have a course with a pro shop, so that might be easiest for you.

If English is not essential you can hardly swing a golf club without hitting a golf shop that can help you out. They are seriously everywhere.

If you come in Tokyo, Cool Clubs had some English speakers:

I also ran into a custom clubs shop in Yokohama that had English speakers - I can try to find the name/address if you need.

I think it was two train or subway transfer from Shunjuku. Bought a custom Akira years ago and built there while I wait. They have a large selection of premium shafts for testing too.
