WRX Spotlight: Nippon N.S. PRO Regio Formula graphite shafts

Published

on

Nippon Shaft was long known as manufacturers of high-end lighter weight golf shafts. That changed some years ago with the introduction of MODUS³, a tour-weight and quality line of steel iron shafts. GolfWRX members took notice as well. This thread on PGA Pros switching to Nippon iron shafts which have amassed an astounding 580,000+ views since it began in 2014. Take some time to read it when you get a chance since there’s some fascinating information.

Nippon is not just steel, however. N.S. PRO Regio Formula graphite shafts are a complimentary line of graphite shafts designed for MODUS³ iron shaft users. These are designed to fit similar bend profiles of the corresponding MODUS³ iron shafts.

Products: NIPPON N.S. PRO Regio Formula graphite shafts (Various driver and fairway shaft models are designed to fit users of NIPPON MODUS³ iron shafts)

Pitch: You can match the profile of your iron shaft to your graphite shafts.

N.S. PRO Regio Formula B

N.S. PRO Regio Formula B and the N.S. PRO MODUS³ Tour 120 have similar shaft bend profiles: Firm tip, soft mid, soft grip

Performance: Increased distance with improved initial velocity, decreased spin and optimized launch angle of trajectory. Increase your carry distance with faster (OR improved) initial velocity, decreased spin and optimize launch angle of trajectory.

N.S. PRO Regio Formula M

N.S. PRO Regio Formula M and the N.S. PRO MODUS³ Tour 130 have similar shaft bend profiles: Softer tip, firm mid, firm grip

Performance: Increased distance with improved initial velocity, decreased spin and optimized launch angle of trajectory.

N.S. PRO Regio Formula MB

N.S. PRO Regio Formula MB and the N.S. PRO MODUS³
Tour 105 and 125 have similar shaft ben profiles: Firm tip, firm mid, mid-to-firm grip

Performance: Increased distance with improved initial velocity, decreased spin and optimized launch angle of trajectory.

Our take on Nippon N.S. PRO Regio Formula graphite shafts

Nippon’s N.S. PRO line of graphite shafts sport an interesting fitting concept: Use a particular MODUS³ iron shaft? Here’s the corresponding shaft for your metal woods. It’s designed to take a bit of the guesswork out of the fitting while providing users with the performance they’ve come to expect.

Here’s the cheat sheet…

  • Use MODUS³ Tour 105 or 125? Try N.S. PRO Regio Formula MB in your woods (that’s the gold one)
  • Use MODUS³ Tour 120? Try N.S. PRO Regio Formula B in your woods (blue)
  • Use MODUS³ Tour 130? Try N.S. PRO Regio Formula M in your woods (red)

It’s a simple concept that Nippon MODUS³ users should check out in 2019. Of course, you don’t have to be a MODUS³ user to put Regio Formula shafts in your bag. Like Nippon iron shafts, golfers can expect a smooth feel with no matter what model they choose.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
