Nippon iron shafts

[gmanuel25]

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.

I have the NS Pro 950GH Reg shafts on my Mizuno MP-60s....Wonderful combination for a mid-high ball flight.

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?

[kurisu]

That's the flex.

I play the 1150GH and the wedge shafts and love them both.

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?
