About Us

For over 50 years, Wazaki® has been dedicated to making top quality golf clubs that provide golfers with the perfect combination of distance, control, forgiveness, and feel. Our team of designers, engineers, and master club makers leverage cutting-edge technologies and traditional Japanese craftsmanship to create hybrid irons, drivers, fairway woods, and wedges that can improve any golfer’s game.

Our History and Heritage

Wazaki® was founded in 1968 by Hideo Wazaki in a small workshop in Osaka, Japan. A lifelong golfer and club maker, Wazaki-san had a vision for creating golf clubs that fused traditional Japanese club making techniques with modern technologies and designs.

Wazaki® started out handcrafting persimmon wood woods and forged blade irons. As one of the few master club makers in Japan at the time, Wazaki-san’s clubs quickly earned a reputation for their superb feel and craftsmanship. Top professional golfers in Japan used Wazaki® equipment and helped drive demand for his small workshop.

In the 1970s, Wazaki® pioneered new club designs like cavity back irons and metal woods. We adopted innovative casting and machining processes to create clubs with improved perimeter weighting and playability. Our forged carbon steel irons and woods combined traditional Japanese polish and grain flow with expanded sweet spots and lower centers of gravity.

As one of the first companies to develop hybrid irons in the 1990s, Wazaki® continued leading golf club innovation. Our hybrids blended the forgiveness of an iron with the high launch and distance of fairway woods. Wazaki® hybrid irons became very popular with recreational golfers looking for more playability and consistency.

Today, Wazaki® is recognized worldwide as a leading craftsman of forged cavity back irons, multi-material hybrid irons, and precision milled forgings. We continue to handcraft every club in our Japanese workshop to ensure it meets our strict standards for quality and performance.

Crafting Clubs with Passion & Dedication

Every Wazaki® club bears the mark of our commitment to honoring traditional Japanese club making while innovating and perfecting golf club technology.

Forging

Our forged irons start as a single billet of premium carbon steel that is precision milled and stamped before undergoing eight separate forging stages. Repeated hammering and shaping under extreme heat aligns the carbon atoms and grain structure within the clubhead to achieve the ideal strength and feel.

After forging, every head is individually polished by hand to our exacting standards to ensure proper finish and aesthetics. The forged process enables us to create cavity back irons with extremely thin faces and topline for maximum ball speed and playability.

Casting

To achieve optimal shapes and performance in our metal woods and hybrids, we use a high-quality casting process. Our casting facilities utilize the latest computer modeling and simulations to dial in the complex shapes required in hybrids and fairway woods.

The casting process allows us to distribute weight lower and deeper within the clubhead for easy launch and more forgiveness. After casting, our club heads are CNC milled to precise tolerances and hand polished for a beautiful finish.

Assembly

Wazaki® conducts 100% inspection at every stage of production – from raw materials to finished clubs. Our master club builders hand assemble every club and fine tune its weighting and feel characteristics. We partner with the best shaft and grip makers in the industry to find the perfect component pairings.

Extensive on-course testing ensures every forged iron, hybrid, metal wood, and wedge bearing our name delivers superior performance and quality.

Improving Your Game with Wazaki® Clubs

Wazaki® clubs are designed for golfers of all abilities, offering user-friendly designs packed with game improving technologies.

Distance and Forgiveness

Our clubs are engineered for fast ball speeds and high, long-carrying shots. Thin, hot faces maximize the spring-like effect on center strikes while perimeter weighting enlarges the sweetspot. This combination provides exceptional distance even on mishits.

Strategically positioned weighting lowers the center of gravity to increase launch angle and decrease spin – resulting in longer carries and more total distance. Our hybrids and fairway woods make it easy for any golfer to get the ball up in the air quickly.

Control and Accuracy

While distance is great, keeping shots in play is crucial for lowering scores. Wazaki® clubs provide the control and precision needed to attack pins and avoid hazards.

Our irons utilize moderate sole widths, precisely positioned weighting, and matched sets to promote workability and shot shaping. The clubs retain a solid feel at impact for feedback on mishits.

Meanwhile, our fairway woods and hybrids feature shapes and weighting that resist twisting on off-center strikes. This extra forgiveness and straightness will have you hitting more fairways and greens.

Soft Feel

An exceptional feel at impact inspires confidence and helps golfers know their distances. Wazaki® clubs deliver a buttery soft, solid sensation at contact.

Our forged irons benefit from grain flow forged directly into the clubhead. Multi-material construction in the hybrids combines plush forged faces and bodies with strategically placed metal weighting.

Between the premium materials and hand polishing, Wazaki® clubs offer one of the softest, purest feels in golf. The pleasing sensation promotes rhythm and consistency in your swing.

Forged Irons

Our forged irons blend traditional looks and feels with modern distance and forgiveness. Available configurations include:

  • Cavity backs – Our forged cavity back irons feature minimal offset, moderate sole widths, thin toplines, and expert craftsmanship. Provides optimal blend of playability and forgiveness.
  • Combo sets – Combine easier-to-hit hybrids and game improvement cavity backs in the long irons with precision forged mid and short irons. Allows golfers to perfectly dial in distance gapping and scoring iron playability.
  • Blade irons – Pure muscle back shaping and clean looks offer unmatched feel and workability. Reserved for the most skilled ball strikers.

Hybrid Iron Sets

Wazaki® established itself as a pioneer in hybrid iron sets. Hybrid irons fuse forgiving hybrid shaped clubheads in the long irons with traditional forged cavity backs in the scoring irons:

  • 2 & 3 hybrids – Our hollow construction stainless steel hybrids feature a thin forged maraging steel face for high launch and ball speed. Ideal for getting long iron shots airborne.
  • 4-7 irons – Forged cavity back irons provide playability and feedback on mishits to dial in distance control.
  • 8-PW irons – Precisely forged muscle cavity irons deliver exceptional feel and distance control on scoring shots. Fine-tuned sole widths improve turf interaction.

Fairway Woods

Wazaki® fairway woods combine distance with forgiveness from the tee, fairway, or light rough:

  • Stainless steel heads – High strength stainless steel enables ultra thin crown and faces for faster ball speeds. Provides excellent distance and playability.
  • Carbon composite crowns – Our exotic fairways utilize a 5-ply carbon composite crown. The strong, lightweight carbon repositions mass low and deep in the head to maximize launch and forgiveness.
  • Adjustable hosels – Loft and lie can be adjusted using our hosel tuning system. Tweak launch, trajectory, and shot shape without changing swing mechanics.

Drivers

Engineered for maximum distance off the tee while retaining adjustability:

  • Beta-titanium faces – High strength beta-titanium alloy enables ultra thin, hot driver faces. Generates faster ball speeds for tremendous distance.
  • Tungsten weighting – Heavy tungsten sole weights position center of gravity low and deep to increase launch, reduce spin, and promote straighter flights. Provides added forgiveness.
  • Adjustable hosels – Allows customization of loft, lie angle, and face angle to optimize launch conditions. Tune the driver without changing your swing.

Wedges

Wazaki® produces specialized wedge designs for conquering greenside shots:

  • Cavity back wedges – Our cavity back wedge pattern prevents twisting and maintains ball speed on partial hits. Bounce and sole grinds are optimized for common turf conditions.
  • Milled wedges – CNC milled from forged billets to crafted delicate shapes and sole grinds. Provides exceptional greenside versatility and control.
  • Specialty wedges – Unique sole grinds, bounce configurations, and shaping produce specialized wedges like lob wedges and zero bounce options. Give golfers total short game creativity.
