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 TH-cam 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 ..
Thanks Wayne. Yep balance weight of club is linked to individual swing tempo. Hard to fit for but very effective when matched correctly. 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
1959 and celebrating their 60th year.
I have been following your videos for a while now trying to get a better handle on what might suit me and improve my game. Your advice is second to none. Keep up the great work guys 👍
Thanks Andrew. 👍🏻
1959 what a great year, its actually the same age as myself 60 years old. I'm keen on the modus 105. going to get fitted and hoping these shafts suit my swing. very informative video guys.
1959&60 years of progress,extremely commendable. I'm a big fan of TXG they are very focused on the importance of shaft fitting. On this occasion you guys surpassed them with a very informative insight into justifying the shaft fit for a specific player & club head.
Thanks Keith, working on giving out information that golfers can really use to make better decisions 👍🏻
1959! brilliant service out there, a must for anyone getting into new clubs or adjusting their exisiting to make sure they are getting the most out of them
Thanks David 👍🏻
Hi Everyone in fore golf, Damien here from Aldi naas. 1959 is the year and hope to see you soon for. Driver fitting Ping-G410+ left-handed.
Keep up the good work, your the only fitters worth going to.
Opened 1959/60 years old.Ye still are the best at what ye do.Keep it up👍
I love the 850gh regular. I’m a tall, strong guy but the light shaft really helped me get a feel for the head and compress ball for higher and further iron shots.
Started in 1959, 60 years old. Great insight guys, love the videos⛳️
Thanks Tim
The Nippon Modus 105 is a fantastic fit with all of PXG's heads. I love that combo.
Just picked up a set of gently used MP-18 blades with the Modus3 105’s in them. Absolutely fantastic.
1959 60 years of great products. Another great review lads 👍👍👍

1959. Excellent video lads. Great information especially how the 850 is different from 950. Unreal
1959, 60 years. Am a big fan of Japanese tech. Mizuno, Srixon, PrGr irons and the various shaft technologies.

1959, 60th birthday. Cheers Derek & Dave
1959 60th Anniversary
Adam loves the Modus 105 in the recently fitted RSi UDi 2 iron #bangin 👍 #buildingbettergolfers
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.
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.
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. 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
Founded in 1959. 60 years old just like Derek!!!😘
Cheeky....🥴
Great video and content. This is the first time seeing such in-depth review of shafts
Great video guys. Yes, looking to switch this month from Ping to Mizuno combo with Nippon. Top class
I love your UPS logo’d shirt! Go UPS!
60 years young!! Want those shafts!!
Great video lads, 60 years old started in 1959
60 years old. Great content
Nippon started in 1959, which means they are celebrationg their 60th anniversary. I am playing NS PRO 950's and love them. I am curious how the NEO's feel...
1959 60 years love the video
Enjoyed this video. Very informative. Recently purchased a set of immaculate Mizuno MP 32's. Thinking about reshafting with 950GH. Been playing KBS FLT 120 lately. But like you said I'm getting older with swing speed declining. Needing to adjust my shafts accordingly. Do you think the 950 and the MP's will compliment each other?
Just fitted into the 105 for my JPX 923s.
Started in 1959. Would love to upgrade my irons with this.
Hi there tried the Nippon 105 reg tour on the mizuno hmb 20 one word for it amazing
Nippon started in 1959 so celebrating 60 years this year. I've no problem traveling up from the real Capital haha
60 years old in business since 1959.👍👍👍
What shaft is best for Miura irons?
1959: the big 60 :) Love the videos
Thanks
How does the regular compare to the stiff? I read that the 105 regular actually is slightly stiffer than the 120 stiff.
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
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.
You’re swing speed is not fast enough for anything to be “too soft”
@@TheBooze13 it's all subjective though.
How did they end up working out Robert?
As always- great content guys! I just put in an order of 2019 P790 irons with the NS Pro 950 stiff shaft. Looking forward to trying this combo out together. My swing speed is around 75-80 and I wasn’t sure weather to get regular or stiff flex. Hopefully I made the right decision
Thanks Armando, the 950 in stuff will be fine. It doesn’t play that firm. Play well and enjoy the new clubs and shafts!! 👍🏻
60 years , great video
Thanks Craig
1959 Taylormade P790 & 850 shaft sounds interesting!
Would love to test out that JPX919 pairing! Seems like it'd fit the bill.
Also, Nippon just celebrated their 60th golden anniversary so seems about right that they started in 1959
I ordered Callaway Apex Pro with Modus 105 shafts. What do you of that combo?
Excellent combo. Soft feel head with great responsive shaft design. High flight with lots of control. 👍🏻
1959, 60 years old lads
Was into earlier this year so due back .
See you soon!! 👍🏻
I am playing the NS Pro 850 GH shaft in regular flex in a set of P 790 irons. The shaft is stiff for a 66 year old senior golfer. I am looking to soft step the shafts either one shaft or maybe two shafts ( 3 iron to 4 iron or 3 iron to 5 iron). I am hitting my 6 iron 150 yards. Do you this will help me in gaining some distance? If not what would be your recommendation?
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..👍🏻
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
How does the neo pair with the P790? Also, how does the P790 pair with the 950gh?
Never tried Neo but it will work fine. Superb with 950👌🏻
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
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'd look at the nippon zelos shafts
I'm looking to change shafts from a 105g to below 100... would the 850gh pair well with say, my mizuno jpx 825 pro's?
Yes or go to Nippon 950 as they actually play softer than the 850 if you are in a Reg flex. 👍🏻
Howard from Honolulu...i have the T.M P790 with the dynamic gold 105 shaft. Swing speed is between 75 -80 (PRGR monitor)...im 63 yr young. More of a feel player...im a Tennis Pro. 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!
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. 👍🏻🇮🇪
Which shaft would you pair with Callaway Apex Pro 2014 irons with 7 iron SS of high 70, low 80 mph moderate tempo?
Need a fitting for that one!!
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.
No trade off at all. Usually better if you want more head feel without increasing flex. Thanks and glad you like the review format. 👍🏻
Hi Foregolf, Thanks for a great review. I am looking to change the shafts in my Srixon zx5 to NS Pro 850GH Regular. My swing speed with 6i is around 77mph. would this be a good fit?
Cheers, might be better going with 950 in reg as the 850 ref actually plays a little stiffer due to the lighter weight. 😉👍🏻
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.
Drop us a quick email on this to hello@foregolf.ie 👍🏻
Hi I got fitted to 850gh stiff for my old Razr Callaway irons. Swing speed not amazing im between 78 and 80mph.
Could I benefit more fromthe more regular option for my new Apex forged 19 heads ? Like 950 GH stiff or 850gh regular?
Thanks
850 plays stiffer than 950 due to shaft wall construction so go for 950 Reg.👍🏻
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.
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
Really like your clear explanations, just found you and subscribed, Australia.
Welcome to the channel. Please subscribe 👍🏻🇮🇪
I was recently fitted with P790's and KBS c taper lite 105 regulrar. (I'm older and need more height with my irons). These shafts aren't available. Do you think the modus 105 regular would be comparable? (I've had them before and they felt fine) Thanks
Yes they will work fine. You could even go to the Nippon 950 in reg for more height or look at KBS Lite 90 in Reg too? Best of luck. 👌🏻🚀
what would you pair with the taylormade 770 iron ?
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. 👍🏻
I have a set of Srixon ZX5 irons and was wondering if the Zelos 7 shaft would work well with these heads?
Yes of course just make sure the right weighted heads are used to make sure your set balances correctly. Good luck
Nippon 60 year anniversary
Very informative video
got fitted for p770/790 combo set 950gh, didnt get to hit the neo but do you think the neo would be very similar if i just wanted a touch more spin. thank you
Quick answer is Yes. Alternatively you can weaken the lofts in that set as they spin quite low anyway. 👍🏻
Got fitted for the ns pro 950 neo shaft in the jpx 921 hmp in stiff because I wanted to hit the ball higher but they have arrived in the ns pro 950gh stiff which was the shafts in my original mizuno irons do you think there will be much difference if i kept them your honest feedback would be appreciated
They will be fine in that head with that shaft. Only very subtle difference that won’t affect launch that much either way. Head design will dominate the higher launch. 👍🏻
How good is elevate shaft ,is Nippon better ,thanks
Fairly similar and Elevate works good. We just prefer using Nippon for fitting and building the clubs. 👍🏻
ForeGolf Custom I had PXG 2011 Nippon 950 stiff and got fitted for New Level 1126 with KBS Max 75 graphite ,don’t like them ,wish I kept my PXG
Great video guys. I am getting a set of JPX 919 forged. Was thinking about putting the 950 S in it. Do you think those will balloon on me? I currently hit MP37 with DG s300. Looking to get a little more height but don't want to overdoit.
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 👍🏻
What would say about titleist ap1's 718 in a modus 105?i need spin and launch to come down but still want the forgiveness...???
Great combo. Keep the flex regular if your swing will allow for more spin and higher launch. 🚀👍🏻
Founded in 1959. Celebrating 60 years!
I have a nike vrpro blade with dgs200 (127gr). I used to play 921 hot metal with 950 gh in reguler flex. I feel that my nike shaft is way too heavy. What do u think about pairing nike vrpro blade with 950 gh in stiff? Considering my nike have traditional loft. Waiting for your reply, thanks. I’m
Go for it. They will play great 👍🏻
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 am not sure if these will work well together or not, as these type of clubs are supposed to get the ball in the air aren't they? I also have a quick transition with a relatively short backswing and fairly aggressive downswing. Would these 950s be any good for me?
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. 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
@@foregolfcustom it certainly does, I did have my doubts, shame as I really wanted these clubs! Thanks for taking the time to respond though, the shafts are something I hadn't thought enough about
1959, so sixty years young. Nice video
Cheers
Got fitted for Project X stiff 110g but since the lead times for that shaft are super long, the fitter switched me to the Modus 105 stiff. Will I notice much of a difference between these two models?
Thanks
Yes unfortunately massive difference between those shafts. Tough to know if the Modus will work for you but the flight will be much higher and Modus plays softer. Good luck. 👍🏻
Oh man I wouldn't have put you in the modus if you like the project x
But you didn't specify which Project X
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.
Yep that will work. Could have gone to 105 as you might not feel that much lighter. Good luck with it. 👍🏻
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.
Good call go for the 950 shafts. They will feel great in the PXG heads. Lots more feel too. 👍🏻
Would the NEO be considered with the 0311P or is the the 950 just a good tried and true option ?
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.
Great Q. Go for 950 in regular flex. You will love them. 👍🏻👍🏻
Interesting video guys. I had fitted with Mizuno Shaft Optimizer earlier. It is recommended NS Pro Modus 3 105 S-Flex, KBS Tour V S-flex, KBS Tour C-Taper95 S-flex.
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 👍🏻
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
Sorry Mark not sure of your Q? Can you ask us again....👍🏻
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!
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.
@@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!
Yes you can adjust the lofts to allow for the shaft change in order to get the flight you like. Play well!! 👊🏼🏌🏻♂️

Would be great to understand the how the bend profile changes between something like Modus 105-S and a soft stepped Modus 120-S?

Cracking information guys
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.
Would you rate the modus 3 125 good as a wedge shaft ??
Yea perfect
@@foregolfcustom thanks 🙏
I play Nippon 950 in my rocketbladze.....what say?
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.
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. 👊🏼👊🏼
@@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.
I reckon it’s a swingweight (head weight) issue and not a shaft weight discrepancy with what you have “felt” in the past. Thanks. 👍🏻
