Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 Shaft Review

50 Words or Less

The Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 shaft expands the Modus line to fit golfers who prefer lighter weight shafts.  Extremely smooth feel and consistent performance.

Introduction

When I was first introduced to the Modus 3 Tour 105 , I assumed that it was a shaft designed only to bring Modus quality to players who need lighter shafts.  I was surprised to learn, however, that the Tour 105 trails only the Tour 120 in terms of play on tour .  Once I tried the Tour 105, it was easy to understand why.

Nippons Modus 3 Tour 105_0041

Every Nippon shaft that I’ve ever used has felt great, but the Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 is the smoothest of the smooth .  Even when I tried this shaft in an X-flex, getting it to load and kick was effortless.  The trade off for that kind of feel is usually consistency, but no such sacrifice is required here.  The Tour 105 did the same thing swing after swing whether I tried to stand on it or just made an easy pass at the ball.

Performance

I’ve said numerous times that whether it’s driver shafts or iron shafts, I like a lot of weight.  That said, if I was ever forced to play a lighter shaft, it would likely be the Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 .   When I put this into my testing irons, I found them to be so easy to swing.  Though I was missing roughly 20 grams, the balance was so good that the transition was easy to make.

In terms of ball flight, the Tour 105 performs exactly as billed.  It launches the ball noticeably higher than the Tour 120, but the flight is still penetrating and controlled.  For players that need more help holding greens or simply want to get more air under the ball, the Tour 105 is worth a look.

Nippons Modus 3 Tour 105_0038

With the addition of the Modus 3 Tour 105 ,  Nippon now has a family of tour-caliber shafts that can fit virtually any golfer.  From the player that wants to keep the ball down (Tour 120) to the player seeking maximum height (Tour 130), and those in between (Tour 105 and Tour 125), Nippon has given their fitters   the ability to give every player sensational feel and performance.

Matt, I always had hard time with light shaft. i am still play wih DG S300 and I have good feeling and results. I know tha Nippon has a very good feel. I want to try something close to DG but just a bit smoother. I was thinking about the 130 gr. Or 120 gr. Have you tried the 120 and 130? Which one you prefe for your swing?

' src=

The 120 has a profile that’s most similar to DG.

Hi Matt, I installed a Modus 3 120 in my 6 iron Mizuno MP 37. It is the first time that I prefer another steel shaft over the Dynamic Gold s300. Ball flight is just a bit higher, disperson seem to be better, distance is about the same but the feeling is softer. Very easy to play with. I will reshaft the 7 other irons of this set and will see what happen with short and long irons.

Best regards and continue your good work

Hi Matt, Which between 105 and 120 do you prefer? Is the 105 longer and lower spin? As per Npippon web site, the 105 is lower. But I think it is depending from player.

I prefer the 120. Spin and distance differences will be player specific.

' src=

I’ve playing DGTI S400 for a couple years and was interested to try something smoother. Re-shafted my set with Modus 120 stiff and they feel great but balloon on me and am a club shorter. Which modus shaft would be similar to DGTI S400 and DG Onyx for wedges?

Thanks…

I would suggest the Modus 125.

' src=

Right now I’m using the N.S Pro 950GH. My swing speed is about 95-99 mp/h with a 7-iron and I do prefer lightweight shafts. Could this shaft be an option for me?

Absolutely.

' src=

thats a fast 7 iron bro.

' src=

I think he means driver swing speed. Even so, 950 shaft doesn’t seem the right choice??

' src=

Whats flex do you think would be good for a 88-90mph 7 iron swing speed? I normally play S flex irons with no problem.

We avoid making recommendations like that online, we always recommend getting a fitting.

' src=

Matt – how would Modus 105 compare to XP 105 in stiff flex in terms of launch and spin? Would these be for totally different swing characteristics?

Yes, these are entirely different shafts. Fitting is essential.

Hi Matt, I am playing Modus 120 in my Mp 37-I just notice that I am just few yards shorter than my DG s300. But the accurancy is a lot better. I hit more green in regulation. I really like these shafts. I tried the Modus 105 Inside in simulator. I was hitting a Ping I , 7 iron with Modus 105 and compared it to my Mizuno Mp 37 with Modus 120. I gain like 4 mph with the 105. I know that Ping have stronger loft than my Mizuno but if I gain swing speed, I should gain distance. On simulator, launch angle, dispersion are very similar. I was not hitting the 105 higher.

I would like to reshaft a set of MB 714 with the 105. Do you think, I am making an error and should buy Modus 120? I could not have a 105 shaft to test outside. Another option is buying a 6 iron Modus 105 shaft and test it outside before ordering the other 7 shafts.

I am also palying the 125 Modus wedge in my 52 and 58 Titleist wedge and I love them.

Thank you for your help

If you have the time and inclination, I’d suggest trying the 105 in a 6I outside. If not, I’d go with the shaft you know from experience works on the course.

' src=

G’day there, hope you may be of assistance,recently been fitted for new irons, they have suggested s200 shafts. I have found the same clubs with these irons which l know little about.Do any compare with these, any suggestions would be appreciated . Cheers Steven

To clarify, you’re asking how the Tour 105 compares to the Dynamic Gold S200?

' src=

I currently play the Callaway CF 16 with the KBS Tour 90 shaft regular flex. I have now realized I should have went with stiff flex in my iron set, what Nippon shaft would be comparable to the Tour 90. Thanks

The closest in weight would be the Tour 105, but I would work with a fitter to find the correct bend profile and weight for you.

' src=

I’ve used Bridgestone J40 w/ KBS Tour (S). I am about switching to new Srixon Iron (probably 765), but want to know which MODUS has similar profile with KBS Tour. I like the KBS, but want to have little lighter weight and make lower ball flight than KBS. Please advise me!

Thanks, Bobby

The only good answer is to get fit. It would be irresponsible of us to tell you, “Just jump into those ____ shafts, no problem, you’ll hit ’em great!”

' src=

I’m currently playing 714 AP2’s with DG S300 Shafts. I recently got fit, and the Modus 120 were the shafts for me with the Ping i Iron head. Now, the Modus Tour 105 is a shaft option for Ping; however, I’m thinking it will lead to too high of a ball flight and may not be stiff enough. Is this accurate? If so, would getting the Tour 105 X Stiff be an option, or should I just bite the bullet & do a custom order with Modus 120’s?

Thanks, Brett

Get the 120’s. There’s no way to know exactly what the lighter weight will do for you, but it’s not what you were fit for, so why risk it?

' src=

Hi Matt, I am looking to get a 3 iron and I have tried the 105 and liked it however I think I may be better with something a little heavier, like the 120 or 125. I currently play the DG s300 pro. Would you suggest the 125 or 120?

The 125 is essentially a heavier 105. I would try that.

' src=

Hi Matt, I have an 84 swing speed with my irons. I play with NS Pro 950 stiff in my Ping Eye 2 berrilliums. Recently, I bought the Mizuno JPX 900 Tour 105 regular flex shafts from someone I met. I couldn’t pass up the deal. Will these shafts be to “whippy” for me? Should I replace them with my 950 stiff flex?

Thanks, José

The only way to get a definitive answer would be to work with a qualified club fitter.

Thanks, Matt. I appreciate your time.

' src=

Hi Matt How does the 105 tour stiff compare to the ns pro 950 stiff in terms of easy to load and kick.

The NS Pro has more kick and is easier to load.

' src=

Hi Matt , recently purchased taylormade p790s with DG Tour 105 S300 shafts as it’s a stock offering for taylormade ! However I have never been a fan of the dynamic golf S300 and just learned its similar bend profile to the original S300! Now dispersion is great but lacks feel in my opinion kind of harsh ! I have a 30 day playability guarantee and trying to decide if Modus tour 105 would be a better option ! I’m looking for higher launch , better feel and similar dispersion ! Can u provide a brief comparison of these two shafts ?

To me, all of the Modus shafts feel far better than Dynamic Gold, but that’s subjective. As to higher launch and similar dispersion, that’s all a question of how the shaft fits you. I’ve had good results with transitioning from DG to Modus.

' src=

Thanks Matt , I have a set of Ping S55 with Ping CFS shafts stiff and trying to find a similar shaft for the Taylormade P790 irons ! They offer the Modus Tour 105 , the PX LZ 6.0 , and Kbs Ctaper light ! Any recommendation ? I cant demo them but know I definitely need more feel than the dynamic gold 105 that came with them

If you want more “feel” than the DG 105, I’d suggest the Nippon Modus.

' src=

Hello Matt, Enjoy your reviews and informative updates on equipment. I recently bought the Ping G irons with the modus 105 in stiff, coming from playing PX 5.5 flighted. The Pings give me ease of use without looking like the backend of a shovel, and the shafts are an absolute treat to use. I am not a super fast swinger (not sure of speed but average 156yards carry 7 iron) but I know what works for me as too soft and I am 30 yards left all day, but these shafts seem to allow me to swing hard or soft and react accordingly to input. The PX in comparison although a nice shaft/weight were harsher on feel and I recently ended up having carpal tunnel surgery on my wrist also, so the 105 is IMO kind on the limbs! Recommend for anyone in the market to give these a try or fitting.

' src=

Hi Matt! I’m in the market for Taylor Made P790 and still deciding on what shaft to have. I’m wondering if the Nippon Modus3 T105 is a good fit.

There’s no way to give a good answer to that without fitting you in person. I would recommend visiting a local fitter.

' src=

Hey Matt I’ve got the taylormade rsi 2 I was thinking of going to the 770s but decided iam going to stay with the rsi. BUT iam going to pull my kbs shafts out and go to the ns.105s but iam not sure if going with the 125 wouldn’t be better. Iam at about at 100 105 swing speed with my 7I I like a low to mid carry what do you think 125 or 120 stiff? Iam also wanting to change my driver shaft and iam thinking of the 8000 I have the tm r15 10.5 what do you think?

There’s no way for me to make a credible recommendation over the internet. The best thing to do is work with a qualified fitter like Club Champion to dial in your clubs.

' src=

Matt, was there a noticeable difference in the X-stiff compared to the Stiff in the 105?

For my swing speed, the difference isn’t huge. Someone with more speed may notice the difference more.

' src=

I am currently set on getting a new set of TM P790 and have narrowed it down to two shafts, the Nippon Pro Modus 105 Stiff and the KBS C-taper Lite XS. Can you tell me the difference between these two shafts and if you have a preference between them. My club head speed on the 7 iron is 81-83 Mph with a smooth tempo. My launch with a 34 deg iron is 19-21 degrees.

I have a review of the C-Taper Lite which you can read here: https://pluggedingolf.com/kbs-c-taper-lite-shaft-review/

There’s not much I can add beyond what’s in the reviews. I would strongly encourage you to try both before you spend that much money on a new set. Those are two very different shafts, particularly in feel.

So what woukd the feel difference be? I read your review and you appeared to like the feel of the ctaper lite. I cant imagine the modus 105 has less feel?

I don’t think there’s an objective “less feel” or “more feel,” it’s all subjective. I can’t say what the feel difference would be for you.

' src=

Matt. Which shaft do you prefer the Modus 105 or the Project X 95 Flighted. I See You reviewed both.

I prefer the Modus.

' src=

Hello Mat I current play with AP2 and PX5.5 , but for me they are a little too stiffer ( in bad days ) . Weight is not a problem , and my average IRON 7 is 160 Yards

Do you think is better try Modus3 in 105 or 120 ? Thanks Paolo

The 120 will be closer in weight to what you have now. Whether or not that’s a good thing would be for your fitter to help determine.

Following a fitting 3 years ago, i bought and played PX 5.5 . My hcp is 7. (iron 7 = 158-164 yards) I play well but i hate it : weight is ok , but i don’t like low flight , hey are a little too stiff for me and i don’t like the feeling when i don’t it close to the center.

I want to try other : modus 105

' src=

Hi I play S300s which modus shaft will be similar to this?

The Modus 125 is closest in weight and profile.

' src=

I was recently fitted into the Oban CT115 X flex shaft. Do you know which shaft would be most similar to the Oban? It’s labeled as a mid to mid-high launch and mid to mid-low spin shaft and weighs around 115 grams if you are not familiar with the Oban shaft. I was thinking the Nippon NS Pro Modus Tour 105 or KBS Tour ?

I haven’t tested the Oban extensively, so I’m not sure what a good comparison would be. Any reason to not go with the Oban if that’s what you were fit for?

' src=

Just switched from True Temper S300 to the TOUR105. love the feel Regards Randall

' src=

Are the DG S300 shafts stiffer or softer than the Modus 3 tour 105 shafts. What swing speeds are recommended for the Modus 3 tour 105 in Stiff vs. the Regular? Thanks

I think the Nippon is smoother but not necessarily softer. As for swing speed, that’s only one variable to consider. If you’re going to change shafts, work with a fitter to find the best one.

hi i am actually playing taylormade p770 PW to 5Iand p790 with my 4 iron with all KBS TOUR 120 FLT . I have bought 3 and 2 iron p790 but with shaft modus 3 ns pro 120. do i have to buy another KBS FLT 120 shaft to replace? can you tell me what is the différences between the 2 shaft please? (sorry for my bad English, i am frensh ^^) thank you

You certainly don’t have to replace the Nippon shafts in your 2 and 3 iron, but I tend to recommend having the same shaft throughout your iron set.

You can find more information about the KBS Tour FLT here: https://pluggedingolf.com/kbs-tour-flt-iron-shaft-review/

Hello Matt,

It’s been more than two years since your review of the Modus Tour 105. I enjoyed your review and decided to buy a set of JPX 919 (4-PW) with the NS Modus Tour 105 in X-flex. I’ve played two full rounds thus far and find it is a much much higher launch, no doubt. I believe that in the longer clubs this high launch is negatively impacting my distances, however. And in the 4-iron specifically, the ball is curving left way more than I’m used to. What about this profile would cause the higher launch and a curving long iron? Is there a section that is super soft? I’m coming from X100s, getting older and no longer “load” the X100s to the extent where I feel them come alive (if you have experienced this you know what I mean), ergo the reason behind the “switch” to a lighter shaft.

Did you find this as well (lost distance in longer irons, curve in the long irons)?

In switching to the 105, you went a lot lighter and to a slightly higher launching profile. The tip is a little softer than your DGs, which could be the cause of the high lefts.

' src=

Matt, I’ve been playing Apex Callaway CF16’s for the last couple of years. They have TT XP 105 shafts. My clubs were recently stolen and I have an opportunity to purchase same irons but with Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 Tour 105 shafts. Will they perform similarly? Age 60, hcp 3, 7 iron 165ish. Thanks Bruce

The XP and Modus 3 are noticeably different in terms of bend profile. As to how they’ll work for you, I can’t realistically say. I would suggest working with a fitter.

' src=

What would be the potential differences in getting the modus 120 stiff compared to the modus 105 x stiff? Thanks

That depends on how the individual responds to weight and stiffness. There’s no blanket answer for that.

Ok thanks. I see the weight difference would only be about 2 grams between them. Would the 120 S flex expect to have a lower flight with less spin or does the 105 in x flex spin less in general terms. I’m kind of curious if the flex and feel of the 105x would be similar to the 120 S flex if you have tried both. Thanks for any info.

My 12 year-old son is playing tourney golf and getting stronger. He took a spin with my old Mizuno MX20, irons shafted with Nippon NS Pro 1150 GH Tour (regular).

Beautiful ball flight and center-face strikes, consistently hitting targets. Much better consistency than his Projext X LZ’s in regular (~70g).

Which of the newer shafts is closest in profile to the 1150GH regular? Modus 105 or 120?

He plays Mizuno JPX 900 Forged (5-GW) bent weak to JPX 919 Forged specs. Also, would like to know if shafting his wedges with the Nippon Wedge shaft or sticking with the Modus 105/120 would be more beneficial? Thank you,

To me, the 120 is closer, but neither is that similar to the 1150GH. I would strongly recommend getting a fitting if he’s going to change shafts.

Personally, I like to keep the same shaft in my wedges and irons, but there are advantages to different shafts: https://pluggedingolf.com/do-wedge-shafts-matter-golf-myths-unplugged/

Was looking to replace Apex Pro original (’15) irons with KBS Tour V-110, went through a lot of testing, went about it bass-ackwards, but I really liked the looks and construction of the TM P750. They proved really hard to get, finally got a set and re-shafted with Modus 105. Have also tested multiple near blades Newest Apex Pro, Titl MB>CB, etc., and this shaft brought me a consistency and ease of hitting nearly anything with my specs (2° up + ¾”, test usually + ½”).

Great dispersion, better descent angle and predictable. I found a winner, I don’t fit by what I hit furthest, but what looks, feels and generates shots I visualize. At 67, admittedly a dinosaur, I needed lighter shafts and these were the ticket, far superior to the Aerotech which many tried to steer me towards, the feel and boring flight just wasn’t there in those.

Greetings Matt,

I play the NSPro 1050gh Stiff, love it! I am finding it tough to order these with new iron heads online. Would the Modus 105 compare well?

In terms of weight, it’s close, but the bend profile is substantially different. I’d make sure to try the Modus 105 before I ordered a set with them.

' src=

Great article Matt,

I’m looking to replace the stock KBS MAX 85 S shafts (93.3g) on my Taylormade M4s with a more mid-weight shaft. My swing speed with a 7 iron is mid 80s and I’m looking for something with a bit more control / less distance. I can hit the ball plenty far but sometimes find I lack feel with my irons. I’m torn between the Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 S (106.5g) and the KBS Tour 105 S (114g). Any advice regarding the differences between the two and which you hit better? Taylormade is hooking it up with a custom warranty replacement provided I give them the specs in the next couple days so I unfortunately won’t have the opportunity to get fit before choosing.

Thanks! Josh

The Nippon is lighter but has a stiffer tip. Neither is a perfect fit for me, but I’d opt for the Modus, personally.

' src=

Hi Matt – need to replace 7 iron shaft (don’t ask) – NS Pro 1050 gh X. I am very happy w the shaft, but these are very hard to find. Is the Modus 105 the new version of that NS Pro?

No, the Modus is distinct from the NS Pro 1050. The 1050 is still available; any Nippon dealer should be able to get one for you.

' src=

Played with ns pro 105t stiff in Titleist AP1. Can you tell me if the modus 3 105 R will be a suitable shaft replacement or something close to ns pro 105t characteristics.

The Modus is very different profile than the NS Pro, so I wouldn’t say they are suitable replacements for each other. Why are you looking to replace the NS Pro?

' src=

I am playing the 105 Stiff in Callaway Apex CF16 heads at the moment. I have a history of wrist problems, therefore switching from DG S300 (in a set of Titleist AP2 710) to the 105S to decrease the aggregated tension over a season.

I really like the feel of the shafts. However, I feel like they tend to balloon on me from time to time, if that’s the correct term. These shots have excessive height, reaching to height earlier, not penetrating through wind and ends up with a significantly shorter carry distance. It is not often enough to ruin my game very much, but often enough not be able to ignore it.

I would like to stay within the Modus series, do you think 125 Stiff would be better for me?

FYI: Averaging a carry of 163-166 yards for my 7i

If the issue that the launch is too high or that there’s too much spin? In either case, going to the heavier 125 *could* improve that for you.

' src=

I PLAY THE NIPPON 840 SHAFTS, WOULD THE MODUS 105 BE AN OPTION?? THANKS NORRIS

You would be adding a lot of weight and moving to a stiffer profile. I would suggest trying them in a fitting before making the switch.

Matt, Thanks for your reply. I have a new set with KBS tour stiff on some JPX 919 forged but find it too heavy and lost lots of distance. I played 710 AP1 with NS Pro 105t stiff and was able to load and unload with a good kick but I am having difficulty with loading the KBS tour stiff. Hence I am looking at options to replace shaft with something that is much easier to load. I am getting older (58) and still thought I can swing any stiff shaft but this one is difficult.

Why not replace the KBS with a set of the Ns Pro 105s?

' src=

HI I Have been playing Ping i20 irons with CFS stiff shaft, which i love for around 6 years. I carry my 7 iron around 155 yards on a med. High trajectory and typically 45-48 deg descent angle. My irons are now really worn and i am looking to replace them. I have tried various shaft/ club options including a club fitting at American Golf which was disappointing to say the least !!. I have thought the Nippon Modus 105 stiff in ping 1210 may be comparable and would appreciate your opinion. Rgds Alan

With the caveat that I haven’t tested them head to head, I think the Modus is a bit more stout and lower trajectory.

' src=

I prefer the project x 5.5 to the LZ 5.5 bc of the tighter dispersion. Any view on which Modus would be most comparable?

The Modus will be closer to the standard PX.

' src=

Have you heard of anyone mixing these into an iron set with the 120s or 125s (ie the 105s for the long irons and 120s or 125s for the short)?

I know the AMT exists for this concept, but so far I’ve liked the feel of the heavier Nippons in my pitching wedge much more than the corresponding AMT shaft, but I do tend to have better results with a lighter shaft in my 4 and 5 irons (which aren’t set matching and are more forgiving than the rest of my irons)

I haven’t heard of it firsthand, but it doesn’t seem like a bad idea if you want less weight in the long irons.

' src=

Hi Matt, was the MODUS 105 IRON SHAFT, fitted to the Titleist AP1710, looking for a similar feel with the new T200 irons, and was considering changing shafts to the Modus 105.

' src=

Hey Matt, I tried Modus Tour 105S & Dynamic Gold 105S S300 on Mizuno JPX 921 Forged today. The launch angle was a bit better on Modus VS DD & descent was similar. Couldn’t really tell the roll but I’m assuming the will be close. But Modus did feel a bit lighter & whippy. Now I’m thinking do I need to soft them or not.

I am a senior golfer who hits a 6iron 130 yards. I play ping g25 irons with a soft regular steel shaft. I recently found a U wedge ping g 400 at golf galaxy with the NP pro modus 3 , tour105 shaft. I absolutely kill this club ,higher straighter longer. Was wondering about reshafting my irons with this shaft. Looks like a players shaft am I crazy to think they might work better in my irons?

It seems you’ve stumbled upon the wonders of custom fitting! The Modus 3 is a “players shaft” but that doesn’t mean it can’t work beautifully for any golfer, just as their are players on Tour with graphite iron shafts.

My suggestion would be to take your current irons and get a fitting to find the shaft that will deliver all the benefits you want before taking the plunge into re-shafting your set.

Due to Covid I’m unable to book an appointment with a qualified fitter. Currently playing with KBS C Taper. stiff. Looking at a set of ZX5 with the Nippon Modus 3 105 and wondering how different it might be.

Where do you live? If you’re in the US, all 80+ Club Champion locations are open and fitting daily.

' src=

hello, is it possible to tell me if my current iron shafts KBS Tour FST (stiff) (still playing old school: Taylormade R7 TP heads) is lighter or heavier than Nippon Modus 3 Tour (105 stiff)? i just ordered Ping i210 (5-P) heard a lot of good things about these heads..i am hoping for higher, smoother trajectory with 105 Modus. NOTE: i have never been fitted-i try to do everything myself thru trial and error. thank you sir! i live in SC, not sure if that has an affect on the shafts responses due to the weather? -dale

I believe the KBS Tour is heavier than the Modus 3 105.

Hi Matt. Could you give your view please. I am looking to replace my Callaway X hot Pro irons fitted with DG 105 Reg shafts. They have been grest irons really straight with a really stable performance. I have borrowed Srixon ZX7 irons 5 to pw. Fantastic irons fitted with Modus 120 Stiff. Again brilliant performance when I put my best swing on them. The reason for changing from my Callaways was to get a little more height with the slightly weaker lofts. But I am flying the same height. Would I achieve more height with the Modus 105. Stiff or regular. My 7 iron flies 140 to 15o. Many thanks. Tom

I apologize for the unsatisfying answer, but the only way to know is to get fit and to test them. Some people will hit the lighter shaft higher, others won’t.

Hello, i’ve got fitted last few days. And they said i need to changed my shaft weight a bit havier and stiffer, so they told me to game the modus3 105 S ltiff or kbs tour v stiff. Due to the lack of the demo, I couldn’t tried the kbs one. I tried the modus, it felt smooth indeed. Do you have any idea about the comparison between those shaft? And are there any big difference characteristics between those? Thank you

We have a full review of the Tour V here: https://pluggedingolf.com/kbs-tour-v-iron-shaft-review/

My experience with it is not extensive, so I can’t offer a particularly knowledgeable comparison. My advice would be to go with what you actually tried, assuming it performed well.

Hi Matt, currently my gamer shaft is NS Pro 950, it gives me a very high flight and suspect that it reduces my carry distance. Do you think the Modus3 105 will help me to lower the ball flight and spin? Thanks.

It’s possible, likely even, but not a guarantee. My recommendation is always to get fit before making a shaft change so you know you’ll get the results that you want.

Hi Matt, I got fitted last week for some new irons (Ping i59) and the fitter recommended this shaft, Nippon NS Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in stiff flex. It felt great. Light without being too whippy. 1st time getting fitted. Coming from a set of Mizuno JPX 825 Pro with the stock TT Dynalite XP S300’s. Anxiously awaiting for their arrival.

I found A g400 u wedge that was fitted with a tour 105 shaft. I need to reshaft my ping g25 irons and was wondering if you think these shafts would be a good idea. I kill the wedge high and straight easy to hit just love it. I am currently hitting soft regular clubs that come standard with the ping irons.

My advice is always to get a fitting before making big changes to your set. I think the Modus is a fantastic shaft, but, like any other shaft, it isn’t a fit for every golfer.

' src=

Hi Matt, I hope digging up this old post doesn’t irritate you too much, but was wondering how this shaft compares to the KBS $ taper chrome? I would love to get to a fitter but that requires a plane ride that’s not really in my budget right now, I’m fairly isolated here and couldn’t even tell you my swing speed. I’m looking at replacing my current irons with Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal irons and trying to decide on a shaft. I play at a 10-12 handicap(depends on how my year goes, five month season here) and I’m leaning towards the $ taper but these seem to be fairly similar. Cheers

I don’t have a lot of experience with the $ Taper, but we have a full review from another writer here: https://pluggedingolf.com/kbs-taper-shaft-review/

That was quick, I know it’s a lot to ask over the internet, just trying to look into this as much as possible before sinking $1500 on a set of irons that haven’t been fitted. Thanks for the fast response, Cheers Ken

How does grip size affect shaft performance? Will the overall kick point on the shaft change if I were to go from midsize to standard with 2 wraps? Im currently playing then modus 105s with midsize grips and have a hard time feeling where the club head is on downswing.

The grip size is not going to change anything about the shaft. A smaller grip might increase swing weight, which could give you more feel for the head.

' src=

Do you think the flight characteristics are pretty similar with the modus tour 105 vs the KBS c taper lite 105 R? Thanks, David

On paper, yes, they’re close.

' src=

Hey Matt, As always, thanks for the great review. I’m currently playing the Modus 120s(S). What are your thoughts on how the Modus 105s would stack up to the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted? Thanks for your time Merlin

I haven’t played a Rifle shaft in a really, really long time, so I’m not sure I can offer any kind of knowledgeable comparison.

Hey Matt- That was my bad- I should’ve been more specific in the shaft comparison. The shaft I was using for the comparison to the Modus 105 to is the Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted . Hopefully that might be a little bit more current. Thanks again for your time Merlin

Thank you for the specificity, but unfortunately it doesn’t help me because I haven’t hit any Rifle shaft in a long time.

' src=

Hello Matt; I have an old set of Titleist AP1’s with TT Dynalite XP S300. Since then I have moved on to Modus 3 120’s, Modus 105’s, project X 5.0, Dynamic Gold 105 R300. I have desperately tried to find a shaft that feels like the Dynalite (since they are no longer produced). Finding specs on those is really hard.. Do you know of a shaft that is close in specs to the Dynalites ?? Tks, Mike

Unfortunately, I can’t help you there. I never played the Dyanlites, so I don’t have a lot of knowledge on them.

' src=

With guys saying they have over a 100 mph 7-iron club head speed, I say bulls$&@. The pros don’t have that kind of speed with a 7 iron. You must hit your driver 400 yard too. 😂🤣😂

The golf shaft greatly influences the accuracy, distance, and control of each shot. With countless options available in the market, finding the perfect shaft can be a daunting task.

In this blog post, we will delve into the world of golf shafts and focus our attention on a popular choice – the Nippon Shaft Modus 105 . Renowned for its balance between performance and control, the Modus 105 has gained significant recognition among golfers of varying skill levels worldwide.

Additionally, we'll compare it with other popular models like the X Stiff and Dynamic Gold 105, helping you make an informed decision when choosing the right golf shaft for your game.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic amateur, understanding the importance of the golf shaft and finding the perfect fit can greatly impact your performance on the course. So, let's dive in and discover what makes the Nippon Shaft Modus 105 a top contender in the golf shaft market.

Nippon Modus 105 Overview

The Nippon Shaft Modus 105 is a high-performance golf shaft that has gained popularity among golfers looking for a balanced combination of performance and control . Its lightweight yet stable design allows players to achieve incredible accuracy and distance with every swing.

One of the key features of the Modus 105 is its unique mid-launch and mid-spin performance. This means that it offers an optimal trajectory for most players, providing the perfect balance between attaining distance and maintaining control.

The mid-launch ensures that the golf ball flies high enough for good carry, while the mid-spin reduces the likelihood of excessive side spin, resulting in straighter shots.

Furthermore, the Nippon Shaft Modus 105 is available in a range of flex options, catering to different swing speeds and player preferences.

Nippon Modus 105 vs X Stiff

When comparing the Nippon Shaft Modus 105 with the X Stiff model, it's important to consider the individual playing style and preferences. The X Stiff model is typically favoured by golfers with fast swing speeds who require maximum control and stability. On the other hand, the Modus 105 strikes a balance between control and distance, making it suitable for players who desire both .

While the X Stiff model may offer slightly more stability and control, it can sometimes sacrifice a bit of distance. The Modus 105, with its mid-launch and mid-spin characteristics, can help players achieve a slightly higher ball flight and longer carry distances while still maintaining excellent control. This makes it a great option for players who want the best of both worlds – distance and accuracy.

Nippon Modus 105 vs Dynamic Golf 105

The Dynamic Gold 105 is another popular golf shaft that competes with the Nippon Shaft Modus 105 in the market. Both shafts are known for their quality construction and performance, but there are some notable differences to consider.

The Dynamic Gold 105 is renowned for its stability and control throughout the swing. It provides a low launch and low spin, which can be advantageous for players looking for a penetrating trajectory and consistency in their shots.

On the other hand, the Modus 105 offers a slightly higher launch and mid-spin, providing a different feel and potentially accommodating players who prefer a more versatile trajectory with added distance.

It's important to note that personal preference plays a significant role when choosing between these two shafts. Some golfers may prefer the stability and control of the Dynamic Gold 105, while others may find the balance and versatility of the Modus 105 more appealing.

Ultimately, it's recommended to try both shafts through a fitting or demo process to assess how they suit your swing and playing style. This hands-on experience will provide valuable insight and help you make an informed decision on which shaft is best suited for your game.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the Nippon Shaft Modus 105 offers golfers a well-balanced and versatile option that combines performance and control. With its lightweight yet stable design, the Modus 105 provides excellent accuracy and distance, making it suitable for a wide range of players.

When comparing the Modus 105 with other popular models like the X Stiff and Dynamic Gold 105, it's important to consider individual playing styles and preferences. The Modus 105 strikes a balance between the two, offering a mid-launch and mid-spin performance that provides an optimal trajectory for most players.

While the X Stiff model may offer more stability and the Dynamic Gold 105 emphasizes control, the Modus 105 offers a versatile option that can fulfil the requirements of both distance and accuracy.

If you're in the market for a reliable and balanced golf shaft, we recommend considering the Nippon Shaft Modus 105. Its lightweight construction, mid-launch, and mid-spin performance, coupled with the flexibility in flex options, make it a compelling choice for golfers seeking optimal performance on the course.

Nippon Modus 105 Regular Vs Stiff: Which Golf Shaft is Right for You?

The Nippon Modus 105 is a golf shaft model offered by Nippon Shaft, a company known for its high-quality golf shafts. The primary difference between the Nippon Modus 105 Regular (R) and Stiff (S) shafts is the flex, which affects how the shaft behaves during the golf swing.

In this blog post, we will dive into a detailed comparison between the Nippon Modus 105 Regular and Stiff, exploring their differences, similarities, and which one may be the right fit for your game. So, let’s get started!

Nippon Modus 105 Regular Vs Stiff

Nippon modus 105 regular vs stiff: What are the differences?

Before entering a detailed comparison here is a quick table outlining the differences between the Nippon Modus 105 Regular and Stiff shafts to give you an at-a-glance understanding:

The Regular shaft is designed for players with moderate swing speeds, typically in the range of 75-90 miles per hour (mph). The Stiff shaft is designed for players with higher swing speeds, usually around 90-105 mph.

Bend profile

The Regular shaft will have a slightly softer overall bend profile compared to the Stiff shaft.

This means that the shaft will bend more easily during the swing, creating a higher launch angle and more spin.

The Stiff shaft, with its firmer profile, will result in a lower launch angle and less spin.

The kick point (or flex point) is where the shaft bends the most during the swing.

The Regular shaft typically has a lower kick point, which promotes a higher ball flight, while the Stiff shaft usually has a higher kick point, generating a lower ball flight.

The Regular shaft will generally have higher torque than the Stiff shaft. Torque refers to the shaft’s resistance to twisting during the swing.

Higher torque can help generate more clubhead speed and assist in squaring the clubface at impact, but it may also produce less accuracy for players with higher swing speeds.

The weight of the shafts may be slightly different as well. The Stiff shaft may be marginally heavier than the Regular shaft, but the difference is usually not significant.

Swing Tempo

Tempo is the pace at which you swing the club. Players with a smoother, slower tempo might find the Regular shaft more suited to their swing, while those with a faster, more aggressive tempo may benefit from the Stiff shaft.

Load/Release

Load refers to how much the shaft bends during the swing, while release refers to when the shaft straightens back up.

Players who load and release the shaft early in the swing (early release) may prefer the Regular shaft, whereas those who load and release later (late release) may benefit from the Stiff shaft.

Trajectory control

The Stiff shaft typically provides better trajectory control for players with higher swing speeds.

The firmer bend profile of the Stiff shaft can help prevent ballooning or over-spinning the ball, which can lead to more consistent distance and accuracy.

The Regular shaft may provide better trajectory control for players with slower swing speeds.

Shaft vibration

The Regular shaft, being more flexible, may absorb more vibration during impact, providing a smoother feel.

The Stiff shaft, with its firmer profile, might transmit more vibration to the golfer’s hands, which some players might find less comfortable.

Workability

Workability refers to a golfer’s ability to shape shots, like drawing or fading the ball.

The Stiff shaft, with its lower torque and firmer profile, might offer better workability for skilled players who want more control over their shots.

The Regular shaft, with its higher torque and softer profile, could make it more challenging to shape shots intentionally.

So, nippon modus 105 stiff vs regular: which one to choose?

nippon modus 105 stiff vs regular: which one to choose

Ultimately, the choice between the Nippon Modus 105 Regular and Stiff shafts depends on your swing speed, ball flight preferences, and desired feel. It is always a good idea to get properly fitted by a professional club fitter to find the most suitable shaft for your game.

Can choosing the wrong flex impact my game?

Yes, choosing the wrong flex can negatively impact your game. Using a shaft that is too stiff or too flexible for your swing speed can lead to a loss of distance, accuracy, and consistency.

How do I know which flex is right for me?

To determine the appropriate flex for your game, it’s best to have a professional club fitting or use a launch monitor to analyze your swing speed and other swing characteristics.

Can I switch between regular and stiff flex shafts in a single set of irons?

While it is technically possible to switch between regular and stiff flex shafts in a single set of irons, it is not recommended. Mixing flexes within a set can lead to inconsistencies in your swing and ball flight.

Are Nippon Modus 105 shafts suitable for beginner golfers?

Yes, the Nippon Modus 105 shafts can be suitable for beginner golfers, particularly the regular flex option, which offers more forgiveness and is easier to control.

Can the Nippon Modus 105 shafts help improve distance?

The Nippon Modus 105 shafts can help improve distance for some golfers, especially if the shaft’s flex and weight are well-suited to their swing characteristics.

How do Nippon Modus 105 shafts compare to other shaft options on the market?

The Nippon Modus 105 shafts are known for their high-quality materials, smooth feel, and excellent performance. They are often

Nippon Modus 105 Vs. 120: Which Golf Shaft is Better?

Iron shafts come in many different models and specs, and Nippon is a top brand for making iron shafts. Two of their most popular models include Modus 105 and Modus 120. So, finding the right shaft can be confusing, and you may wonder what is the difference between Modus 120 Vs. 120?

Although they have several variances, the fundamental distinction between Modus 120 and 105 is that the former is around 10g bulkier while being barely stiffer than the latter. Players who like a bit of extra weight without extra stiffness are the target audience for this shaft.

Hence, if you are wondering which iron shaft to buy between these two, we are here to guide you. Today in this guide, we will explain everything you need to know about them.

Overview Of modus 105 golf shaft

The Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 shaft adds to the Modus range and is exceptionally lightweight to accommodate golfers who want thinner shafts.

Additionally, it feels smoother and swings much more quickly. It is a fantastic new lightweight choice that will also provide a lower launch.

Overview Of modus 120 golf shaft

Another excellent shaft in the Modus 3 series from Nippon is the Modus 120. This iron shaft feels comparatively soft because of a rapid lack of stiffness around the butt and a lengthy, stiff tip.

They come with a slightly larger weight and a shape that provides optimal control and produces a lower spin and low launch angle, making them perfect for players who prefer heavyweight shafts.

Modus 105 vs 120 Golf shaft: Quick Comparison Table

Our comparison table below will talk about all the quick differences between Modus 105 and 120. Both of these are fantastic iron shafts from the same Nippon series, but yet they come with a lot of differences.

What Are The Differences Between Modus 105 vs. 120 Golf shafts?

So far, you have seen the summary of the differences between these two shafts, but before you decide which one to choose, you will need to learn about these differences in full detail.

The first difference we will discuss between Modus 105 and Modus 120 is the flex offered by these shafts. Flex refers to a shaft’s capacity to bend when subjected to force.

Since every player has a distinct preference for shaft flex, having additional flex choices for your favorite shaft is always advantageous.

When it comes to flex, Modus 120 has the upper hand: it offers four different options, which is one extra compared to three offered by Modus 105. The additional option is the extra stiff flex.

For individuals with really high swing speeds, the extra stiff plus version is fantastic. This choice is preferable if your swing speeds are much higher than the norm. 

Launch Angle

The next difference we will discuss is the launch; Modus 120 has a mid to low launch, which, according to our studies, had an average launch angle of approximately 21.5. Whereas the launch angle of Modus 105 is on the lower side with 20 degrees.

The dynamical loft of the clubhead increases in proportion to how much the shaft bends forward. The launch angle rises when the dynamical loft of the head is raised. 

Consequently, while using the Modus 120 to strike the ball, you may anticipate a higher ball flight, whereas the Modus 105 will result in a somewhat lower ball flight.

The weight is also different from these Nippon Modus shafts. Whether you need a heavy shaft or a low-weight shaft depends on your preferences.

Nippon 105 is offered in three different weight options, whereas 120 is offered in 4 different choices, which is 10 grams higher on average than 105.

Heavier shafts are the best option if you want to increase your swing speed since they may stimulate more muscle groups, which increases the pace of a golfer’s swing.

However, lightweight shafts might help you improve your control and swing speed if you are a novice or have a small build.

Spin is always crucial when finding the perfect shaft for your shaft, and Modus 105 has the upper hand when we are talking about spin; it has a mid-spin.

On the other hand, the Modus 120 has a low to mid spin so that the overall spin will be less than 105.

Your ball will rise to great heights and fall at a sharp angle if the spinning rate is high. The ball will often drop out of the sky with little elevation and a steeper landing angle if its spin rate is low.

Golf shafts have a torque attribute that defines how easily the shaft will flex during a stroke. A shaft with higher torque will bend more than one with less torque. In other words, certain shafts are more resistant to twisting than others.

The Average torque of Modus 105 is higher than the Modus 120, which means with 105, if you have a tendency to slice the ball, you will have a benefit.

Whereas a lower torque shaft, like the Modus 120, will be more advantageous for players who have a tendency to hook the ball.

Modus 105 vs 120: Which Golf shaft To choose?

Nippon is known for its highly engineered shafts, and both Modus 105 and Modus 120 are from the same Pro Modus 3 series.

Even though they are from the same group, they have huge differences. So, which shaft you need to choose depends on your playing style.

If you are looking for a lightweight shaft with a low launch and you tend to slice the ball more, then you should use the Modus 105 shaft. It will also provide you with better control, especially if you are a beginner.

On the other hand, if you are looking for more swing speed with a higher launch angle and height, then you need to go for Modus 120. It will also play an advantage if you like to hook the ball.

After reading this guide so far, there can be some questions wandering around your head. Thus, down below we will answer the FAQs which should clear all your confusions more easily.

Is Modus 105 and Modus 120 the easiest golf shaft to hit straight?

Both Modus 105 and Modus 120 are from the Nippon Modus 3 series, and you can control both of these golf shafts easily. However, when comparing the overall performance and feel of these shafts, the Modus 105 feels smoother and swings much more efficiently, enabling you to hit better straight shots.

Which is more softer: Modus 105 or Modus 120?

In comparison to the Modus 105, the Modus 120 feels softer. Because the Modus 120’s center part is so soft, it has a soft general rigidity for a 110–120g shaft. The Modus 120 is the only other iron shaft that is nearly as soft in the center.

Which is heavier between the Modus 105 and Modus 120 shafts?

Modus 105 and 120 come in different weight options. The 105 model offers three different weight options, and the 120 model offers four different weight options. On average, the Modus 120 has a higher weight of 10g more than the Modus 105 golf shaft.

Dynamic Gold 105 Vs Nippon Modus 105 Shaft Overview

Dynamic Gold 105 Vs Nippon Modus 105 Shaft

It can be tempting to assume that performance is very similar between two steel iron shafts that are the same weight.

How much variance can there be between steel 105g shafts? The answer may shock some golfers.

The reality is that you really have to do your research and go in for a fitting when possible. That’s because different companies use different manufacturing processes to produce their steel shafts.

So today, we will be sharing with you the performance differences between the Nippon Modus 105 and the Dynamic Gold 105 shafts.

Dynamic Gold 105 Shaft Overview

nippon tour 105 stiff

“The Dynamic Gold 105 comes in regular, stiff and extra stiff flex.”

As advertised, the DG 105 produces a mid launch. And more importantly it never balloons out of control – believe us, we tried.

The kick point is just below the midsection but feels incredibly smooth through the transition.

For a lightweight steel shaft, you get a lot of control. While the feel is more akin to a graphite shaft, the dispersion and workability is definitely more steel-like.

However, the DG 105 played a bit shorter than the Nippon Modus 105 in our 7-iron – 3 yards shorter to be exact.

Most of the distance loss had to do with spin. The DG105 was picking up more sidespin than the Nippon Modus 105.

Nippon Modus 105 Shaft Overview

Nippon Modus 105 Shaft1

“The Nippon Modus 105 is available in regular, stiff and extra stiff flex.”

The first difference we noticed was that the Nippon Modus 105 produced slightly higher launch and therefore, slightly softer landings.

Spin rates were also lower with this shaft which resulted in slightly longer carries and rollout.

The kick point on this shaft is higher up which may account for the slightly higher launch. In terms of feel, the Nippon Modus 105 does feel a bit more active than the DG 105.

Still, it never feels out of control. While there is a clear kick on release, it’s a smooth kick that doesn’t seem to affect accuracy.

In fact, our grouping was a bit tighter with the Nippon Modus 105 than it was with the DG105.

“For our money, the Nippon Modus 105 is the superior shaft. It narrowly edges out the DG105 in dispersion, distance and launch.

The only problem we anticipate is that some players may prefer the stabler feel of the DG 105 to the livelier feel of the Modus 105.”

Dynamic Gold 105 First Impressions

nippon tour 105 stiff

The first conclusion we came to about this shaft was that it was light enough for mid handicappers who want to upgrade from graphite to steel shafts.

The transition should be about as seamless as it can be.

Key Features & Performance

The lightweight and varying rigidity zones make it a nice play for people with deliberate swing tempos. If you have a smooth transition, you will feel really comfortable with this shaft.

Like any good DG shaft, the Dynamic Gold 105 has a stiff tip so you get excellent control over the wedge club head.

Nippon Modus 105 First Impressions

Nippon Modus 105 Shaft2

The first thing that will strike most players is how consistent these lightweight shafts are.

The launch is no shocker; but the tight dispersion on all shots and even loading on all swings are what really stand out.

The lightweight appointments are really what give this shaft its character.

It’s accessible and will help you improve your distance by about half a club.

Nippon Modus 105 Iron Review

  Up to the 9-iron you get really strong trajectory and consistent spin/launch. It’s easy to get the ball in the air and you get a very smooth transition.

Dynamic Gold 105 Pros & Cons

  • Lightweight design
  • Great for players with smooth transition
  • Moderate spin

Who Should Buy it?

The Nippon Modus 105 would fit a wide array of players but we would highly recommend it to mid/high handicappers.

In fact, mid handicappers probably have the most to gain.

Nippon NS Pro 105T Shaft Review – Specs, Flex, Weight

nippon tour 105 stiff

If you are looking for a steel iron shaft that doesn’t feel harsh but still gives you tour-level performance, the Nippon NS Pro 105T should definitely be on your radar.

The entire NS Pro series of shafts is known for its smooth feel and acute control.

With the Nippon NS Pro 105T, Nippon has introduced a tour-grade shaft that is playable for the rest of us mortals. But will the Nippon NS Pro 105T shaft be a good fit for you? Read on to find out!

Nippon NS Pro 105T Shaft Overview

The look of this shaft is pretty much what you would expect from Nippon: it has red/white lettering on top of a polished chrome finish. It doesn’t draw too much attention at point of address – especially if you’re like me and you’ve already seen a bunch of Nippon shafts. Still, the Nippon NS Pro 105T has a clean, balanced look overall.

As advertised, the Nippon NS Pro 105T has a smooth feel. The kick point is in the middle of the shaft but you have to swing relatively hard to feel it. Even the most aggressive swings won’t bend this shaft out of shape though. Even under a heavy load, there is only the meagerest of whips in this shaft. On top of that, it recovers extremely well.

Another thing I noticed about the Nippon NS Pro 105T shaft when testing it was that it was very consistent. The action in the midsection corresponded almost exactly to how hard I was swinging. There were no surprises. When I really loaded up, it felt pleasantly (but mildly) active. When I took it easy, there was almost no action. But the shot dispersion remained very tight.

The Nippon NS Pro 105T shaft also feels surprisingly lightweight. For a shaft that is touted as being tour-worthy, I was expecting a much heavier feel. But the Nippon NS Pro 105T still felt nimble on my backswing while providing some substance for me to work with on my downswing.

Why is the Nippon NS Pro 105T So Popular?

nippon tour 105 stiff

The Nippon NS Pro 105T builds off of the success of the original NS Pro line.

It delivers the same smooth feel; but with even more control. I can see why this is a popular shaft among faster, more aggressive swingers. It keeps up with a fast swing speed and allows you to swing out of your shoes.

How Does the Nippon NS Pro 105T Perform?

Let’s start with distance. I felt like the Nippon NS Pro 105T was begging me to swing outside of myself because it felt light in the hands, and after just a few practice swings, I could tell that it could take a heavy load. So I stepped up to the tee with my 6-iron and proceeded to launch the ball 161 yards. On the next swing, I crushed it to 164 yards. After a while, I started to see diminishing returns but only because I was getting tired.

The bottom line is that I felt like I could swing outside of myself with this shaft and that resulted in greater distance for me. I can imagine that the Nippon NS Pro 105T will have the same effect on most moderate to fast swing speed players. And throughout all those full-on swings, I never saw my off-line divergence exceed 8 yards…from the tee.

Off the deck was a different story. This is where the weight made a difference. I was leaving chunky divots behind on the deck with my long irons. To be fair though, I am not used to long iron shafts of this weight. In any case, I wasn’t getting the same kind of distance off the deck as I was from the tee.

Nippon NS Pro 105T Shaft Specs

What flexes are available what swing speeds do they suit.

Regular flex would be good for 80-85 MPH swingers. Stiff would be good for 86-95 MPH swingers. Extra stiff is a good fit for 96-105 MPH swing speed players.

What Weights Are Available? What Swing Speeds Do They Suit?

The 103g version of the Nippon NS Pro 105T shaft is a good starting point for 80-85 MPH swingers. The 106.5g version may work for players in the 86-90 MPH range and the 112g version may suit 91+ MPH swingers.

Why is it So Good?

The Nippon NS Pro 105T is a good shaft because it can stand up to heavy loading and doesn’t lose its shape. It’s very accurate and delivers great distance off the tee.

Nippon NS Pro 105T First Impressions

nippon tour 105 stiff

I was impressed with how light and agile the Nippon NS Pro 105T shaft felt on my backswing.

There was an overall feeling of control and balance through impact as a result.

Key Features & Performance

The Nippon NS Pro 105T has a smooth bend profile and the mild kick in the midsection makes for middle launch and spin figures.

Nippon NS Pro 105T Irons Review

The Nippon NS Pro 105T shaft delivers great distance off the tee with the long irons. The launch can be worked higher in the short irons which can make up for any lack of spin.

Nippon NS Pro 105T Wedges Review

With my wedges, the Nippon NS Pro 105T shaft allowed me to work the ball to an acute degree while at the same time, controlling distance.

Nippon NS Pro 105T Pros & Cons

  • Smooth profile
  • Surprisingly light
  • Good for aggressive swingers
  • Tight dispersion off the tee

Who Should Buy it?

The Nippon NS Pro 105T is a good choice for any player who is seeking a balance between high-launching, light iron shafts and low-launching heavy shafts.

It straddles a very nice middle ground while delivering great distance and at least adequate dispersion.

Nippon NS Pro Modus3 Tour 105 vs Recoil 95/100 vs Prototype

Recommended Posts

Have played the Nippon NS Pro Modus3 Tour 105 Stiff in a few sets of irons and they have fit my swing well.

Looking to move to Recoil's or Steelfiber's as I had some elbow problems come back up when I switched things up with TM P790's DGS300 105'S this past season. Tried Prosoft inserts which helped somewhat but graphite may be my best option.

I have hit Steelfiber 95 in Regular and Stiff and could play either one but swing weighting is a pain so I was looking at Recoil's if I reshaft.

Emailed with Danny Le a few times and he said:

Recoil Prototypes will play about ½ flex firmer overall and have lower torque, which will play “stiffer” vs the standard model.

My question is does the Nippon 105 match up better, shaft to shaft, with the Recoil or Steelfiber?

Everything I have found is the Steelfiber 95 is most closely associated with the DGS300 and plays somewhat firm to flex but the Recoil is somewhat of a mystery as to what shaft profile it most closely resembles.

Anyone have a Wishon shaft frequency analyzer printout of the Nippon 105 and Recoil 95/Prototype 95 F3 and F4?

I'll answer from my experience:

Modus 120 is very similar to Recoil 110 IMO. They both have a pronounced kick into the ball & feel the same weight wise swinging.

The Proto Recoil have a firmer tip, but I really don't notice the difference until the longer irons or going to 125

Steelfiber vs Recoil for me is about flight... I hit the Steelfiber lower

Again, just my experience

I was under the impression that the 105 and 120 were very different shafts and what I found on Golf Shaft Reviews (the charts) and D'Lance Golf (the text) seem to support that.

If the Recoil is a closer match to the 120 then the Steelfiber profile may indeed be a better match for my swing.

I know the charts are correct & everyone will back this up as well.

I'm just staying what I've seen personally, in regards to my swing & experiences. I have both shafts. The 105 swing light to me, not a shaft that I can make work.

The standard Recoil 110 & Modus 120 play very similar on the course, flight & spin..... They both spin

I'm looking for feedback like that as numbers and charts only tell you so much.

I am going backwards from your order. I came from Recoil 110 and went into Modus 120. Both in stiff. They both spun the ball too much. I wasn't happy with either. I get DGS105's today so I'll try those. I wasn't a big fan of the steelfibers, for any aspect.

Of the graphite family, I wouldn't pass over the Accra tour series in a 90gm or 100gm. I tried a 100gm in a Ping 210 head and really liked everything about that shaft, and the club as a whole.

Mitsubishi OT iron shaft is a good bend profile match to your Modus 105, while providing maximum vibration protection. The Recoil’s and Steelfiber’s mentioned have bend profiles that differ a fair amount from the Modus 105. The std Ot iron shaft is parallel so the descending weight might be a bit of an issue, they have a stronger taper version but the profile is closer to the Recoil.

Steelfiber’s perform very well but they don’t have maximum vibration dampening from an injury standpoint, with that said they have just released a flighted FC 115 version that reportedly is a little smoother than the standard i110.

Perhaps pro soft inserts in the Modus might give you sufficient impact vibration protection, saving you some money, the Modus 105 is a very smooth feeling steel shaft.

Working on that as I just got my Ping i200's back from loft and lie adjustment by Ping. They have Nippon 105's so I'm removing the grips and then will install the Prosofts.

I picked up a set of JPX 919 Hot Metals with Nippon 105's as well but am considering pulling the 105's and installing Recoil Prototype 95 F3 pulls that I have and the reason for my question.

I could just shaft up one iron but it's difficult to make a decision based on one club so I may just pick up a set from the bay this winter as pricing are falling fast.

I did some testing of the OT Taper 105 stiff in a Mizuno MMC 6i build to the same specs as my MMC with Modus 105 stiff. The shafts played very similar to my eye. I wish I had done some LM testing when I had both on hand however I didn’t. The OT might have added a couple yards to my average carry. Feel-wise, I enjoyed hitting both. The OT fel a hair firmer throughout the length of the shaft for my 85 mph 6i swing. I would have taken the full OT plunge in my irons and wedges had the tendinitis in my thumbs not subsided.

My wife has 900HM with Recoil 95 R flex. They are a blast to hit! I can go at the full out and they take my swing without a problem. I’ve played them on cars a few times and quite enjoy them. They are an excellent no cost from several manufacturers

Interesting timing. In about 3 hours I am getting fit for either 105S or 120S or transport my 95 F4's or the extra set of 95 F3 I have. I am going put something in a set of 900HM. If I understand the feedback I get, I will follow here on with my impression for what its worth, not that its worth anything.

I will be very interested in your impressions on how the Nippon compare to the Recoil F3 & F4.

Shaft fitting is mostly about FEEL. First the feel that relates to the overall weight of the club and secondly, the feeling of kick through the ball. The reason feel is so critical is because that affects the person's swing, and the swing is what leads to good or bad shots. The flex profile of the shaft is the third factor to concern yourself with because it can effect spin and launch. Key word here is "can," not to be confused with "will." Only guys that put a lot of "load" into the shaft, either through a quick tempo and/or a strong release, will see much if any flight differences when playing with different shafts.

Titleist has some good shaft fitting info on their website. It shows how the Modus 105 has a softer tip than the other shafts mentioned here. It also shows that the Proto and regular Recoil have the same stiffness, both butt and tip, the main difference between them though is in the torque which affects the feeling of stiffness. The Steelfiber also has a reputation for feeling stiff to many people, the vibration frequency info on the Titleist website doesn't reflect this level of stiffness though so take it with a grain of salt. Oh, and in case you didn't know, 10 cpm in the butt is significant but not the tip. You need to have 40 cpm difference in the tip before it will translate into something significant in the shaft.

Well it was very easy at least for me. Was testing 919 HM. First the Demo clubs are stock about a full inch shorter than my Z545. Warmed with mine and started with the 105 S. Heck I was totally out of sync with timing and feel. The pro said let's try the 120's "you definitely need heavier shaft". Instantly, it was repetitive straight, great height, draw on command and the range is a bit down a slight incline but I was hitting the 7 iron demo to the 200 flag with a 5 mph tail wind. Hit 10 in the row the same straight or with a draw on request. This is me but this took less than 15 mins.

Now the G400 Max 10.5 that the pro had me 20 yards longer than my SZ and went where I was aiming. This is going to really hurt. But thats another day

Did you end up hitting the Recoil's? Curious if they are more similar to the 120 or 105 as the 120 and 105 are quite different shafts beyond the obvious weight difference.

I have recoil 95 F4 in my srixons for the last 2 years. I wasn't interested anything other than the Nippons. I do have the F4's or the F3's set that could use but won't. Frankly and surprisingly the Nippons felt smoother, honestly think it's the almost 20g in shaft weight from the nippons.

I know what you are talking about with the Nippon 105 shafts. They do feel excellent so I pulled the grips in my i200's and will be installing Prosoft inserts to see how that goes.

Still may end up with graphite before next season as Michigan weather has turned so there may not be many opportunities left to get out other than at Carl's driving range.

But hitting frozen balls off mats is about the worst thing that can be done for my elbow.

Experiment ended yesterday with pain in the wrist after 2- hour+ sessions on the range in 4 days. Forgive me recoils and welcome me back please

Hope to get a warmer day here to try my i200's with Nippon 105's and Prosoft inserts.

Graphite shafts help a lot of people but they are not magic. Especially if you have a negative angle of attack and hit range balls off of firm turf or mats.

You are right but in my situation I do none of the 3. It's more basic, simply 73 yo wrists. I could have put inserts in which would have helped. In the end I didn't the 105 and should have held for a set of 120 which for my swing just felt fine.

if you can find them the Aldila RIP Tours are incredible. Both the 115 and 95 gram iterations.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.
