Tin Cup on a Japanese website

A very nice piece about Tin Cup from a Japanese website - If you have a translator on your browser switch it on - the translation is priceless. Here's an example

"Shown in the image on the back and put the ball comfortably and are locked into an exquisite feeling. And, as the right picture on the surface of the ball comes out of the area gouged marks."

Our friends at Minibox in Japan are the first retailer in that country. www.miniboxgolf.com
