It's against the rules to use them in any competition, Anyone who does is a blatant cheat no different to a magic pencil or foot wedger.

I don't see the point, your SC will never be legit but if they can sleep at night each to their own!

Plenty of Asian Golfers that only ever hit on Driving ranges. There has been a market for non conforming clubs in Asia for a long time, TM has been threatening to start selling non conforming clubs for a while,

Could get rather messy a club level when this stuff gets into the second hand market and people have no idea they are buying no-conforming gear.
A vast majority at club level wouldn't have a clue what is what and what's conforming and non-conforming.
Non-conforming clubs have been around for awhile now but momentum is growing for more.

Plenty of non conorming drivers in the JDM market. They usually say so on them.

nothing about jdm chippers ? I wouldn't think it would make any difference! A few extra yards or a ball stopping on dime isnt going to do much to the average scorecard if used the average golfer.
Asia - Japan in particular has lots of golfers who seldom see a course.

Very true. Most club players are not well educated on this (read most golfers aren't gear nuts and ho's).
I have informed two players at my club, one a club champion, that the original eye 2's are not legal under the R&A rules when I saw them in their bags.
