Spotted: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 LSL prototype shaft

Published

on

LSL stands for “lower spin and launch,” according to Nippon, and is the goal of its new prototype iron shafts we spotted on the range at the 2016 Safeway Open.

Nippon tells us the LSL is based on the company’s N.S. Pro Modus3 125. It has a similar smooth bend profile and is roughly the same weight (125 grams), but has been designed to create a flatter trajectory for players in need of such a flight.

In recent years, Nippon’s line of N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour iron shafts (105, 120, 125 and 130) and wedge shafts (105, 115 and 125) have become extremely popular on the PGA Tour, with a notable number of the world’s best switching into the shafts and racking up wins.

At this time, Nippon says the LSL is strictly a prototype, tour-only shaft. As always, we’ll be sure to keep you posted when we learn more. Until then, feel free to join the discussion in our forum thread for speculation and other commentary.

    The feel of Nippon shafts are special. I have Modus 3 in my clubs and they have been great.
    I do want to try the wedge shafts and see if they fit me.

    Seriously, stop Boom. Pointless comment. I think the shafts look nice and will fit a lot of players who wanted a heavier version of the 120.

    Can they lower my flight to 6 feet off the ground?

Jason Day on his recent switch into Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 MK II irons

Published

on

Over the past year, equipment free agent Jason Day has played a number of different iron sets looking for his right match.

In May 2023, he was using a TaylorMade P770 4-iron to go along with a set of P7MC irons (5-PW).

In August 2023, he had switched to a set of TaylorMade P7TW irons (5-PW) to go with his P770 4-iron.

Then, in February 2024, he was into a full set of P760 irons (4-PW).

Now, Day has switched it all the way up, and he’s currently using a new set of Srixon ZX5 MK II long irons (3 and 4), and Srixon ZX7 MK II mid-to-short irons (5-PW).

On Tuesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Day told GolfWRX.com that he made the switch before the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, because he was looking to reduce spin.

“For me, they spin a little bit less,” Day said. “They’re very good out of fairway bunkers, too. I haven’t played too much in the rough yet, so I still need to get an understanding of how the come out of the rough, but for me, it was all about spin control.”

“I had tested the previous model to these [Srixon ZX7’s], but I only had one club. And I was getting some inconsistent spinny with my previous irons, so I just decided to at least give them another shot. My biggest thing was to take spin off, because I was spinning it like crazy.”

The Srixon ZX7 MK II irons are known for producing low spin numbers, and pairing them with Day’s typical ultra-stiff True Temper X7 shafts make them certified spin killers.

If it’s spin he wanted to reduce, then Day may have found his match with the new Srixon irons.
