I purchased a set of Ping Rapture irons some time ago with the NS Pro 950 shafts installed. My requirements were maximum game improvement / easy hitting qualities. I'm aware that the shaft is light, which I like and have been told that although a steel shaft it has a feel that is quite like graphite. My ballflight looks good to my eye and my carry distances seem consistent for each club.

I'm very satisfied with this set but would welcome feedback on how this shaft compares with other comparable shafts, comments on the pros and cons of this shaft. Cheers in advance!

As you can see, I have them. Replaced some Tour Flighted Project X 5.5s and, for me, a better fit. I don't find a graphite feel to them. I guess you already have them, and like them, so they seem to be good for you. Just because I replaced my Project Xs doesn't make the Nippons a "better" shaft, just better for me, both are very high quality, as are Dynamic Golds and lots of others. Be glad they work, no reason to seek "cons" if they work for you.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
