Widely regarded as one of Japans great all time golfers along with the likes of Jumbo Ozaki and Tommy Nakajima, Shingo Katayama has made the move from being a long time Nike pro to the much smaller ONOFF brand. Widely regarded as the face of Japanese Nike, it is a surprising move but a good fit for ONOFF.
Katayama who showed up at the press conference donning his typical cowboy style golf hat now with a ONOFF logo on it was also all decked out with his new clothing and shoe sponsors. He will now wear Dance with Dragon one of Japan's premier boutique brands and wear signature Asics golf shoes.
Katayama is also changing his ball from Nike One to Titleist Pro V1x. His new bag will feature:
ONOFF 2009 Driver
ONOFF Fairway Wings Woods
ONOFF Iron Plus Forged CB
All this new gear will be on display at the Masters in Augusta this week where Katayama hopes to contend.
ONOFF is a subsidiary of Daiwa Sports, which also include GIII and Roddio Shafts. Asics has long been a premier running shoe and fashion shoe maker in Japan known for style and functionality.

reply to this commentShingo played well at the Masters and it was refreshing to see JDM represented so well. Now we just need to see more TourStage and Epon lighting up the pros’ bags.
