Anybone play Nippon shafts. I had some in a set of Cobra 3100 I/H a few years ago and really liked them. Since then I've had several sets of clubs generally with TT DG S300 shafts. I'm considering going back to the Nippons, however they are a little harder to find and get fiited for in my area.

Callaway and Titleist both offer Nippon steel shafts as options for their irons. Haven't seen Nippons offered in after-market catalogs.

Here's their website: http://www.nipponshaft.com/

I play N.S.PRO 950GH shafts in my AP1s and my TM Rescue and love them. They're not as heavy as the TT DG and the mid/high ball flight is great (for me). My GF made a special order for her irons, she wanted steel shafts and Nippon offers the 750GH in R flex, they're 76~77 grams with a low kick point, they feel like graphite but with less torque.

N.S. Pro 950 has an R on the shaft, does this represent a regular flex or is the shaft flex hidden under the grip?

I kind of suspected this was the case. I had made a special order with Golfsmith and ordered the set I currently play with in a 6-8iron with the n.s. pro 950gh in stiff. It took Golfsmith over 2 weeks to send them to me and they put regular flex on them. Not pleased. I will attempt to play them this weekend to see how I do.

I recently got fitted and the guy fitting me said that the shaft and flex that I was hitting the best was the true temper dynalite gold xp regular flex 1/2 longer. Now with that said how does the n.s. pro 950gh in regular flex compare? Should I take these out for a spin or return them to Golfsmith and get the shaft flex I actually ordered?

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
