It was a rainy day today in Tokyo but it was not enough do dampen my visit to Shinagawa where I went to visit the Dance with Dragon 2010 Collection Preview with Master Sasaya from Gold's Factory. Next years DWD collection has a Star Wars theme as you can see in the poster behind Master Sasaya and I. The Star Wars theme song played in the background as we spoke with DWD staff about their new collection, signing top Japanese Pro Shingo Katayama and how Dance with Dragon will take golf enthusiasts to where no golfer has gone before!
The large staging area was filled with racks of DWD clothing. Clothing is always the major focus of DWD especially for a summer collection where clothing sells the most. The displays had both the coming Spring Collection and Summer Collection and Dance With Dragon showed off its usual bright colors and daring designs for both men and women. Since TSG is now selling clothes and looking to slowly expand their golf wear offering we really wanted to pick out some of the hot items at this DWD preview launch. As always, the new caddy bags stood out with awesome design and quality. I have already decided I am getting one for the new season though a certain master also told me that he would have his own caddy bags in the new year... decisions decisions!
Other standout items included new Dance with Dragon putter grips to go along with their sticky wood and iron grips. There will be two new styles of putter grips and 6 different colors in all. Dance with Dragon has a close relationship with Iomic and these do look very similar to Iomic's new Absolute putter grips. The camouflage grips look very cool!
As always Dance with Dragon is releasing some of the best looking caps in golf. I own a few already and I can say they fit great and are always top quality. They have several new caps including integrated magnetic ball markers in a couple of their models. The white and black one below is definitely one I am targeting for the new season.
Finally comes the clothes. They have some really hot stuff for next season and a lot of it is definitely influenced by top Japan pro Shingo Katayama who will be wearing all of this collection. From very stylish polo shirts, to slick solid colored pants, to the brightest checkered pants, there is something for everyone, men or ladies. This simple D and DWD logo is going into my clothing rotation for sure.
I took quite a few pics for everyone to check out. Dance with Dragon is by no means cheap, in fact it is one of the higher priced premium golf wear brands. One thing you can be sure of is getting high quality one of a kind golf wear. You can bet that nobody in your golf club has the same clothes as you do if you are wearing DWD. Look for the new collection to make its way into the pro shop in coming months!

I want the white hat with the frayed bill.
A certain master?? You know how long I’ve been waiting for one of those??
reply to this commentThe cap with all of the snaps on the bill is on my radar screen. I could use the snaps for attaching a mosquito net what with the rain we’ve had around here. Ha!! Very neat stuff. I will be watching for it to hit the Pro Shop. Thanks, T, for all the great pics.
reply to this commentNice to know Shingo will be wearing this stuff. I like the look of everything from the cart bags down to the apparel. The dragon look is awesome, might be on my Christmas list here in Canada.
