Top 3 Nippon Shafts - Custom Fitter's Review

[@RemontadaVv]

1959.... 60 golden years of age. Excellent video lads I’ve been watching since day 1 it’s nice to see the Irish get in on the KZbin Golf Equip review scene. A lot I didn’t know about shafts there the whole weight to swing tempo is something that I have never considered I’ll have to get myself properly checked for all this stuff. Off 7 now I’d hope my stock clubs are not now limiting me to improving even more ..

[@foregolfcustom]

Thanks Wayne. Yep balance weight of club is linked to individual swing tempo. Hard to fit for but very effective when matched correctly. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@foregolfcustom]

Hi Wayne, Congrats you have just won a set of the new Nippon Neo shafts to go into your irons. Please give us a call on (01 9060147 and we will get you booked in for a fitting session. Thanks, FG.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Hey guys great video. I'm really torn and I don't have a fitting centre near me. I'm 55 years of age. I probably swing at about 78 to 82. I used to use the NS pro years ago. I gave away golf for about 10 years I definitely don't want graphite. I don't like the feel of them. I'm leaning towards just going back to the 950 GH but I was interested in the Neo 950 and the difference between those two..... looking at putting it in Mizuno923 forged

[@foregolfcustom]

Thanks Armando, the 950 in stuff will be fine. It doesn’t play that firm. Play well and enjoy the new clubs and shafts!! 👍🏻

[@juanr.rodriguez3109]

This is awesome. I was fitted for my MP18’s with the 950GH, the question is “what is the equal For driver shaft?” Great review.

[@foregolfcustom]

Thanks for that. Look for a 50 gram weight and keep it stiff in flex. Most 50 or even 45 gram shafts in stiff will perform like the GH950. 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️

[@davidgilmore9154]

Great video! I'm looking to add some weight to my juniors shafts. She is playing KBS TGI 70 now. Her 7i speed is 75mph, driver 89. I was thinking the 850 in Reg now not so sure. I'm worried the 950 Reg could be to heavy and the 850 Reg could be to stiff. i would not call her a smooth swinger, has a quick transition. She plays the P770 1" under standard. Thank you for your thoughts. David

[@foregolfcustom]

Go KBS 80 in Reg. Better for shorter length in lighter weight as the tip profile is softer but if she transitions quickly the Nippon NS850 in reg will be fine. She can grow with them too. Just make sure the length allows her to grow a little. 👍🏻👍🏻

I have the 850GH R in my PXG 0211STs 7-PW and in 0211 DC in 6 and 5 irons, and it's just about a perfect combination for me. I can confirm they play a bit stiffer than the 950. I have been thinking about going slightly heavier in the PW, and I may try the 950 stiff for that.

Do you find much of a trade-off in accuracy moving to a lightweight (i.e. 850) shaft? Great insight and review, thanks for this content.

[@foregolfcustom]

No trade off at all. Usually better if you want more head feel without increasing flex. Thanks and glad you like the review format. 👍🏻

[@Arkslippy]

1959 60 years Lads great video, I’ve a 2 part question for you. I was fitted years ago and went for a lighter steel shaft, the Dynalite gold s300 (I know, ancient) but they really play as firm as they are relatively light and i generate good swing speed with them. I’ve been away from the game a few years and I’m starting to ramp up to play properly next season, Would the 950 have a similar effect of a soft stiff ? I’ve a set of Tm rocketbladez tour irons a friend was trying to sell before upgrading I bought on a whim, but they have dynamic gold s300, I hit them fine but they feel a little heavier and stiffer than I would go for, roughly what would the cost be for 7 of the 950s to be put into them including a fitting.

[@foregolfcustom]

Hi I got fitted in modus 3 105 regular in jpx921 forged, I am a bit worried that they will be too soft for me, my swing speed is 85mph with 7 iron, thanks

[@tomb9658]

I just bought the Srixon Z595 with the Nippon Modus3 105 tour regular steel shaft. This is not like most reg shafts. Much firmer. I have an old set with weak reg shafts. Nippon Modus3 105 tour regular steel shaft is way stiffer than my old irons with a reg 98 gram steel shaft. There is nothing wrong with Reg stiffness. Let the shaft do the work.

[@TheBooze13]

You’re swing speed is not fast enough for anything to be “too soft”

[@shawn1869]

@@TheBooze13 it's all subjective though.

[@jackvliet]

How did they end up working out Robert?

[@kenolson9943]

what would you pair with the taylormade 770 iron ?

[@foregolfcustom]

Modus 105 or 120 depending on what weight works best for you. Go lighter (105) and softer in flex (Reg) for higher flight/slower speeds or heavier (120) and stiffer flex for faster speeds. Good luck with it. 👍🏻

[@mazzerattimike8695]

I'm gaming Cleveland 588cb irons with dynamic gold s300 shafts, but was starting to feel the shafts a little heavy. I've bought the modus 3 120 stiff shafts to replace them , as they are lighter.

[@foregolfcustom]

Yep that will work. Could have gone to 105 as you might not feel that much lighter. Good luck with it. 👍🏻

[@6daymember]

Hi guys. Great video: really interesting. I'm an aging player - just turned 50 - and after an injury lay-off i've lost some distance. As a result i'm changing wedges and looking at the Cleveland CBX 2 as an interim (gap) wedge. I'm thinking about a Nippon shaft for that such as those you have reviewed, but am conscious wedge shafts tend to be heavier and stiffer. What do you think about the shafts you have reviewed for a gap wedge for a player such as me? I was thinking either the 950GH or the Tour 105.

[@foregolfcustom]

Great Q. Go for 950 in regular flex. You will love them. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@markdurney5016]

Guys, I've just found you on the net during lockdown, unfortunately missed the comp but this is an outstanding video..... I've subscribed and will be an avid viewer from now on. I have a question as being bored during lockdown I bought some Srixon z585's with the modus 3 105 regular shafts. Clearly I hadnt tried them but took a punt after reviews, but this is the best shaft feedback as never had nippon before. I changed from TaylorMade psi tour forged in kbs tour c taper 105 regular. I am interested in and would appreciate your feedback on what I could expect in different shaft shape and feel. Finally I saw some new 2020 TM p790's with the NS pro 950 but in stiff and would like your thoughts on the mix and comparisons. I also did 20 years at UPS so love the combination with Galvin Green. Thanks and lot Mark

[@foregolfcustom]

Sorry Mark not sure of your Q? Can you ask us again....👍🏻

[@HD-oj5fo]

You talked about the “stiffness order” when it comes to 850 and 950 regular and stiff, bet you didnt make this parallele with the 105. Where does the regular 105 and stiff 105 stand compare to the other 2 in term of stiffness? Thanks

[@gamingwithwarbucks3863]

I ordered Callaway Apex Pro with Modus 105 shafts. What do you of that combo?

[@foregolfcustom]

Excellent combo. Soft feel head with great responsive shaft design. High flight with lots of control. 👍🏻

[@joshuatanghal9921]

Currently playing wilson D7 forged in a project X riftle 5.5. They feel heavy and my miss is always right. I bought a 7i in japen, Mizuno Gx forged with n.s. pro 950gh HT stiff, and that club feels great. I like the light feeling and almost always find i can get a good strike and get about 160yards straight, with a slight fade. I know the mizuno head may be more forgiving but i think the shaft definitely feels better. Would it be a good idea to get my D7s reshafted?

[@foregolfcustom]

Yes they will feel the same as the Mizuno just maybe check the swing weight of the Mizuno and make sure they match it to the Wilson’s 😉

[@foregolfcustom]

Tough question. Maybe go Modus 105 in stiff as 950 might go a little too high although that head will keep it low. Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@V1enthusiast]

Is the 850 mainly used as a lady shaft?

[@foregolfcustom]

No quite the opposite. The 850 plays a little firmer than the 950 so I use it when I need the lighter balance weight but don’t what to compromise the flex in the shaft. The 850 is a great low weight firming playability product for promoting a fast head speed and definitely not just for the lady golfer. 👊🏼

This shaft gives me no feel its just there...looking for a shaft that i can feel and control trajectory (mid-mid hi)... any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Aloha!

[@foregolfcustom]

Hey Howard, nice to hear from you. You should look into the Nippon 850 in a stiff flex. The lighter weight will create great head feel and it’s ok to go a little firmer when the shaft weight is light. Cheers. 👍🏻🇮🇪

[@johnsanderson4394]

Great article. What shaft combination would you pair with the Gen 3 PXG 0311P head ? I have only used the Modus 105s in a Gmax and the Gen 1 pxg 0311 both in stiff but at 65 was thinking perhaps a little lighter perhaps like the 950 could be an option.

[@foregolfcustom]

Good call go for the 950 shafts. They will feel great in the PXG heads. Lots more feel too. 👍🏻

[@johnsanderson4394]

Would the NEO be considered with the 0311P or is the the 950 just a good tried and true option ?

If not what would be your recommendation?

[@foregolfcustom]

Best to go to 950 Reg and soft step those as 850 actually play stiffer than 950 due to shaft wall construction. If you need softer feel you should look at graphite too..👍🏻

Two questions: I currently play 950GH shafts in regular. My ball fligh has become quite high and as my speed increased I am thinking about upgrading, specifically into modus 105 stiff. Do you think this is too much of a jump and I should rather upgrade into 950Gh stiff? Unfortunately I have no access to a fitter so any help would be welcome. Second, when are you choosing the winners of the giveaway? Cheers.

[@foregolfcustom]

Yes move to the 105 is not too much of a jump although if you like the weight of the 950 then stick to those but in the stiff flex. Tough one to answer... Winners getting picked next week. Thanks

Great...relevant video!! I'm looking to put the 950GH's in a set of PXG Gen 3 Xp's. (My driver swing speed is between 95-98 mph...every so often I hit 100 mph.) I have always been right on the line between S or R, and now that I'm 60...swing speed is declining! :( I was also considering the Mitsubishi MMT in Stiff which is 80 grams or the 950 GH. Still not sure if the 80 gram is too light and if I will lose feel. If I do opt for the 950GH, would you get them soft stepped? Do you think the ball flight would be even higher? I have heard that soft stepping them would make the club play like Soft Stiff. However, it sounds like they play like a Soft Stiff regardless and Soft Stepping might make them too weak. Any thoughts on the shafts mentioned or my questions? Thanks so much!

[@foregolfcustom]

Go for soft stepping and they will be fine based on your profile. You can always nudge the lofts if needs be. Steer away from graphite for now as the club will lose balance and flight higher. Good luck 👍🏻 Thanks for watching.

[@jeffmark6157]

@@foregolfcustom Thank you so much for the response!! I will forgo graphite and get the NSPro 950GH's in stiff and get them soft stepped. The lofts are slightly strong. (i.e. 29 7 iron...39 for the 9 iron.....49 for the Gap Wedge) Therefore, if soft stepping makes the ball flight slightly higher, that may be a good thing. When you say "nudge lofts", I think you mean tweak in either direction as necessary. You guys are awesome!

Might be an old video but this was interesting stuff. I am looking at some used Titleist 718 AP1, and they have NS Pro 950GH in stiff.

I also have a quick transition with a relatively short backswing and fairly aggressive downswing. Would these 950s be any good for me?

[@foregolfcustom]

Glad you liked the video. That shaft might be a little too soft for you in the tip section if you have a quick transition. If you swing aggressively you will likely need heavier weights and stronger tip section. Hope that helps. 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️

I bought JPX900 Forged with Modus 3 105 S-Flex shaft. I found my iron game is not really improving. Lost distance very significant in the long irons. Furthermore, I feel very heavy in swinging iron 5 and 6. I am planning to change my Modus 3 shaft into 950GH (~10gr lighter) while maintaining S-flex. Will it be a good option?

Hey Hendy you need to get fitted on a launch monitor to check spin and launch angle BEFORE you switch shafts. Sounds like you might need a lower flighted shaft with less spin? If you can get fitted hitting balls to an outside range that will help a lot. Good luck 👍🏻

Man, those 3 nippon shafts are among my least favorite. Balloon balls. The Project X IO and KBS $Taper Lite and C Taper Lite just blow them away in terms of penetrating flight and consistent distance. The feel is so much more solid. The only pros playing the 105 are playing the TX version that actually weighs 113 grams.

That's so subjective you know the modus3 is a mid to low flight shaft? Kisner plays the modus3 in the x-stiff. Also I don't know of any tour Pros playing the io? Besides the io, every Project X especially that god-awful rifle shaft feels like a two-by-four.

950 gh regular shafts my favourite

Hey guys. Do you know anything about the 990 shaft. Supposed to be a "constant" weight shaft. But that's confused me a bit. I play 950gh stiff. So how would the 990 compare to there. Are they a uniflex someone told me between reg and stiff. Looking for advice because I was actually thinking about buying the 990 to try if there close to the 950gh stiff. 0.370 tip. Thanks guys.

Good Q. If you look on the Nippon website you won’t see a 990 shaft. It’s a shaft made by Nippon exclusively for a head brand and wouldn’t really be that different to the 950 but rather a less expensive version. I wouldn’t move from 950 for them. 👍🏻😉

@@foregolfcustom thanks for that, Do you think they wouldnt be made to the same standards then. I bought some PXG irons recently and wanted to change the shafts to something similar or the same as the 950gh because although there a lighter shaft, imo I think they definitely don't play that way and fell heavier than would suggest. Modus must have the weight in the butt and the Nippon 950GH must have a bit more weight lower down because my clubs felt heavier than my mates Modus 3 120g shafts.

[@foregolfcustom]

Got it. Go for Modus 105 in those PXG heads and you’ll never look back. Upgrade to the all black colour for a really slick look. 👊🏼👊🏼

[@TTT-Turbo]

@@foregolfcustom You know, I've actually been looking at those. But I tried them in the new srixon head and I honestly couldnt feel anything. They feel so so light compared to the 950. There must be some weight in the lower end or the nspro950 and it could be the opposite way about for the modus 105. Not sure if you have tried both side by side. But its weird. I had to go to the 120 to get any feel from it.

[@foregolfcustom]

I reckon it’s a swingweight (head weight) issue and not a shaft weight discrepancy with what you have “felt” in the past. Thanks. 👍🏻
