Recently got a set of good ol' MP32, stuck the 1050GH stiff into them, flight is much higher but definitely not ballooning. I am officially jumping off the Project X bandwagon and on the Nippon's.

Thats great news. I have a set of Scratch TD irons coming w/ the Nippon 1050 stiff(hopefully soon).

I currently have PX HL 5.0 in my i10's. I like them but I'm really looking forward to the 1050 stiff. The PX HL are slightly to soft but do launch high, but not to high, unless into the wind.

I think you're on the right track. If you find PX 5.0 a little soft, you'll like what the 1050GH stiff offers. FYI, I switched from PX 5.5 flighted. Have fun with your scratch irons, too bad they don't offer much for us lefties, but I do love the new 1018 wedges.

Yeah I love my 1018's. I also almost went w/ the PX 5.5 too. I cant  wait to get them.

Hi Everyone, I just picked up a set of cobra 3100 I/Hs that came with the Nippon NS Pro 1030H stiff shafts. I normally play the rac mb tps with the rifle flighted 6.0 shafts. I like the lightness and feel of the ns pro shafts so just wondering if anyone had that shaft (or similar) equiped with the mb tp heads? will they even fit?

[jcfhm]

Been doing alot of research on the 1050's. You're situation is perfect to provide me with valuable feedback. I currently play the rifle flighted 5.5 in Mizuno's and have played the 5.5's for many years.  I'm looking to get a similar flight result, but with less weight and more comfort. Can you compare the rifle flight 6.0 to these 1050 shafts. Thanx

Do you guys think a set of 950's 3-pw softstepped once into a 4-gw set will play a lot softer?

My driver ss is about 105, somewhat of a swinger, forgot my iron ss at the moment.

currently playing MX25's with Black Gold stiffs softstepped once +3/4"

Hey does anyone know if the new nippon shafts that just came on tour at the John Deere Classic are available to consumers? Any info on how they play? tia

[Hellvis]

Got fit early this spring out with the Rifle and in with the 1150Gh Tour X cut soft ,they are like butter the fit for me has been amazing my tempo has been much improved. with out question they are the best shaft for me. I sampled approx. 25 different options in the fitting process and kept coming back to the Nippons.

I have a set of 09 Burners with Nippon NS950 Pro shafts installed. Can anyone give me any info on these shafts and how they may play in these heads?

[MellonC]

I just picked up the Nippon NS Pro 950 FW.  Does anyone know how soft or stiff these play compared to the nippon iron shafts.  I have the 990 Nippon shafts from Callaway and they play just bit soft.

Thanks.

Sorry, but I gotta say: AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL shafts!!!

I hit the 1050s in my buddy's Scratch SB-1 irons. We are just about the same specs. He is 1* up ,1/2" over and I am 2* up, 1/2" over. Every shot I hit was toe-heavy. Much more so than just 1* of lie angle. Big pushes to the right. No matter what I did, I couldn't correct the flight path and I am not a super-fast swinger. 105mph clubhead speed with the driver, 180 yard carry with the 5-iron.

There seems to be a ridiculous amount of head droop with this shaft. Overall weight and feel seemed to be fine, but performance was incredibly poor.

I'll stick with my DG-S300s thank you very much.

I went with 950s in my TaylorMade TP CBs and really like them -- very solid feel, great trajectory control, and point-and-shoot accuracy. Going lighter than the KBS Tours I had played concerned me initially, but I quickly found don't have to swing as hard to cover the same distance and that has improved my accuracy which means more GIRs. I will definitely look to have these in my future sets as well.

Older Topic I know, but figured I would put my .02 cents in. I have the Nippon 1150 X-Stiff soft stepped for close to 5 years now in my Epon’s and they have proved to be reliable, constant and great performers.

Feel on these has always been smooth,  and I think where they really shine is those  ¾ shots, or knock downs the shafts really work with any swing you attempt.

Driver SS = 104-106

6i carry is about 175

Just got a NS PRO 105t shaft on my AP2 710. Love the lightweight and launch.
