The company soon started to manufacture its own sports equipment and sportswear such as baseball gloves and baseball bats and golf clubs, which were in fact the first Japanese made Japanese golf clubs. Mizuno soon came out with its complete collection of golf equipment and golf wear, which remains the biggest subsidiary within the corporation. Mizuno established its first US factories and became American Mizuno from 1961. Mizuno sponsored some of the most famous athletes in the world which includes Olympic runner Carl Lewis, San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana, the tennis player Ivan Lendl and golfer Nick Faldo.
