Join Rick as he explores South Korea’s incredible golf shopping scene, from towering multi-storey golf stores and exclusive brands to products and experiences you simply can’t find anywhere else in the world. Whether you’re a golf equipment fanatic or just curious about golf culture abroad, this is a side of the game you’ve probably never seen before.
Welcome to H.I.T Golf Reviews – the home of honest, independent and trustworthy golf equipment reviews.
If you want straight-talking advice on drivers, irons, wedges, putters, golf balls and golf tech, you’re in the right place. Every review is based on proper testing, launch monitor data and real on-course experience – not marketing slides.
We test all the big names (TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Mizuno, Cobra and more) plus the direct-to-consumer brands you’re starting to hear about. New vs old, budget vs premium, “forgiving” vs “players” – we put them head-to-head so you can see what actually performs.
Our testing is built around launch monitor data (GCQuad) and real-world shots, but we always explain the numbers in normal-golfer language. No fluff, no hidden agendas – just whether a club will help your game or not.
Whether you’re:
buying your first proper set,
a mid-handicapper looking for more forgiveness, or
a low-handicap player chasing that perfect combo of feel and distance,
H.I.T is here to help you pick the right gear for your swing, not just the newest thing on the shelf.
Why H.I.T exists:
To cut through the hype.
To give golfers the truth.
To save you time, money and a few golf balls.
To make the game a bit easier – and more fun.

ai thumbnail is insane, do better
Looks like American Golf has a long way to go……although to be fair shipping there would end up costing me a fortune😀
Thaniya plaza in Bangkok if your ever there. You'd love it!
This channel is absolutely killing it. The variety of output is unsurpassed
Awesome 👏.
Would go bankrupt
We have callaway clothing in the U.S.
Goes to show how much of a fucking shithole the uk has become because we have NOTHING like this.
Imagine this in the UK. If it wasn't being looted every day it'd shut down because everyone is broke.
Been a long time since I saw clothing at retail with the Titleist logo. I think I have a few older "Fairway & Green" brand shirts with the Titleist logo.
Golf fashion in South Korea is so amazing! I lived there for 3 years and bought so many great polos, shorts, pants, and jackets. The prices were a bit higher than I liked, but golf is super popular there.
I really miss those shops and wish we'd get them in the malls here in the US.
didnt see any Taylormade Rick? explain please?
yae its insane
I heard that its cheaper for Koreans to fly to the states play 3 rounds than it is to play just 1 round in South Korea!
We need them in the US 100%😢
I wish Titleist had a clothing store in the US . They don’t even sell Titleist branded apparel
Asian market gets all the cool stuff
