About:
Golf manufacturers traditionally create and develop equipment tailored for golf professionals. These specialized clubs and designs, initially offered as prototypes solely for professionals, are not available to amateur golfers. PROTOCONCEPT GOLF emerged from this concept.
The term “PROTO” in PROTOCONCEPT stands for “PROTOTYPE.” Now, amateurs at all skill levels have the opportunity to play with and enjoy the same equipment or prototypes previously exclusive to golf professionals.
Launched in 2019, PROTOCONCEPT GOLF is a prestigious luxury Japanese golf club manufacturer that has shifted its resources and management to North America, under the stewardship of Smiling Ducks, Inc.
Since its inception, PROTOCONCEPT GOLF’s forged irons have consistently earned the esteemed Golf Digest “Hot List” award. The professional team at PROTOCONCEPT GOLF includes Lydia Ko, Haeji Kang, Ryuji Imada, and Chia Cheng. Their artisanal range of forged golf clubs is available through select dealers such as True Spec Golf, Cool Clubs, Urban Golf Performance, and online via Fairway Jockey.
