Are Mitsushiba golf clubs worth buying used? Consider them only when you can identify the exact model, confirm that the clubs fit you, and inspect their condition. For an older Viper or Verdict set, the useful question is not whether the brand is universally “good”: it is whether this particular set is complete, sound and reasonably priced after shipping and any work it needs.
This is a used-buying guide, not a hands-on performance review. We have not tested these clubs, and we do not have a verified original manufacturer catalogue establishing every model’s specifications or history.
What to know about old Mitsushiba golf clubs
Second-hand listings show Mitsushiba-branded Viper and Verdict clubs sold as individual irons, woods and multi-club lots. Those are different purchases. A replacement 8-iron does not establish the value of a full set, and a listing called “complete” is not proof that it includes the wedges or putter you need.
Read the name on the actual clubhead and the label on each shaft. Do not identify a Mitsushiba club from a seller’s title alone, or treat references to similarly named brands as evidence about these clubs.
Who made Mitsushiba golf clubs?
We could not verify the original manufacturer from an authoritative catalogue or company source in the material reviewed. We therefore do not attribute the clubs to Mitsukoshi, Mitsubishi or another company. A seller’s country-of-origin field is not proof of corporate ownership or a model’s production date. If you have an original catalogue, warranty card or packaging, its details may help identify your set.
Mitsushiba Viper: check the exact irons and woods
Reviewed seller listings include a Viper 3-iron described as having a graphite shaft and an eleven-club Viper lot described as three woods and eight irons. These are seller descriptions of specific items, not specifications for every Viper club. They do not prove that a different set has the same shafts or makeup.
- For a missing iron: match the head markings, club number, handedness, shaft label and playing length to the clubs you already own.
- For a set: ask for every club number and a photograph showing all heads and shaft labels. Note mixed models, replacement shafts and missing wedges.
- For woods: ask for close-ups of the face, crown, sole and shaft-to-head connection. Do not infer loft or shaft flex from the word “Viper.”

Mitsushiba Verdict: do not assume one specification
A reviewed Verdict Oversize ladies’ 8-iron listing describes a graphite shaft. That does not establish the specification of another Verdict iron or wood. Check each candidate independently; seller titles, photos and structured item details can disagree.
If handedness or shaft details conflict, ask the seller to resolve the discrepancy before paying. For a replacement, start with what is stamped on your own club and request matching photographs.

A five-point check before buying
- Fit: confirm handedness, shaft flex and playing length. If you do not know what suits you, try clubs locally or ask a qualified fitter rather than guessing from a bargain listing.
- Heads: inspect faces, grooves, soles and hosels. Request clearer pictures of dents, cracks or suspicious damage. A “used” condition label cannot describe every club in a lot.
- Shafts: ask about bends, cracks, extensions, shortening and replacement shafts. Check the area near the head carefully; do not buy a visibly damaged club hoping that it will be safe to use.
- Grips and completeness: check grip wear and budget for replacement where needed. Write down every included club; a bag in the photograph may not be included.
- Seller terms: check shipping to your destination, returns and any applicable tax or import charges. Save the listing description and ask questions through the marketplace.
Message to send a seller: “Please confirm every club included, handedness, shaft make/material/flex and playing length. Have any shafts been replaced or clubs shortened? Can you show the faces, soles, hosels, shaft labels and grips of the actual clubs, and identify any damage?”
What should you pay—and what about a warranty?
There is no defensible single price for all Mitsushiba golf clubs. Compare the same model, club numbers, shaft configuration and condition. An asking price is not evidence that an item sold for that amount; use recent sold comparables where available and keep single clubs separate from sets.
Use this decision rule: item price + shipping + applicable tax/import charges + known grip or repair costs = ready-to-play cost. If repairs or key specifications are unknown, the comparison is incomplete. If that total approaches a better-documented used set you can inspect or try, reconsider the purchase.
Do not assume these older clubs carry a current manufacturer warranty or free servicing. Read any written seller warranty separately from returns. eBay Money Back Guarantee may cover eligible purchases that do not arrive or do not match their description, subject to its terms and deadlines. It is not an unconditional trial period; change-of-mind returns depend on the listing’s return policy.
When to consider a set—and when to pass
Consider it if the specifications fit you, the actual clubs are in sound condition, the included pieces meet your needs, and the full cost makes sense against comparable options. An exact matching replacement may be useful to an owner who already knows that model.
Pass if the seller cannot identify the clubs, the photos leave damage unresolved, the set needs expensive work, or you are relying on unsupported promises of extra distance or forgiveness. Beginners should assess fit and condition too; neither a blanket recommendation nor a blanket warning follows from this brand name.

Common questions
Are Mitsushiba golf clubs any good?
We cannot give the whole brand a tested performance rating. Evaluate the exact Viper or Verdict clubs by fit, condition, completeness and total cost. Try the clubs before buying where possible.
Are all Mitsushiba Verdict clubs graphite?
Do not assume so from a model name. A reviewed ladies’ 8-iron listing describes graphite, but that is not a specification for every Verdict club. Check the shaft label and ask about replacements on the exact item.
Are old Mitsushiba clubs valuable collectibles?
Age alone does not establish collectible value. Identify the model and compare relevant completed sales. We have not verified a collectible premium for Viper or Verdict clubs.
