A companion to the Nippon 950 GHneo has just been released, the 850GHneo. New graphics on what is essentially the N.S Pro 850. When the 950GHneo was released I mentioned that almost every fitting cart still included the N.S.Pro 950 despite its long outdated graphics. That was not the case with the N.S Pro 850. It had never been been widely present in the club equipment fitting carts. I have been fitting Nippon steel for a long time. In fact I wrote an overview of the entire N.S Pro product line 9 years ago in the second year of this journal.

Nippon Regio Formula Plus Driver Shafts Review

Nippon Regio Formula Plus Driver Shafts Review

It has been 9 years since I looked at the first generation Nippon Regio Driver shafts. That review included only one of the three models. In this review, all three models were measured and compared. While Nippon is well know for their iron shafts, the driver shafts in the US are not popular. That is an understatement, they are virtually unknown. Over the last several years a few of my long term affiliated trainers and players have raved about their experience with the Regio Formula Plus driver shafts.

If you do not follow my YouTube Channel, Devoted Golfer, this is Mark Pekarek discussing the N.S. Pro Regio Formula + driver shaft designs:

As with all Nippon golf shafts, the quality and consistency of the Regio Formula Plus Shafts are second to none. They are all made in Japan, expensive, and reflect the attention to quality that we expect from Japanese made products.

The Modus3 Tour 115 shaft is now available with the standard Modus3 chrome finish and is in the 2022 Mizuno fitting cart. We now have Nippon Modus3 shafts in 5 weights, 105, 115, 120, 125 and 130. It is important to note that these are more than simple weight options of the same design. The Modus3 120 and the Modus3 130 are radically different designs.

The Nippon Modus3 Hybrid is a new style shaft from Nippon. There is a layer of Composite material over a steel shaft. When you look closely, you can see and feel the steps in the steel shaft. I have been told it has been on tour for over a year. About 30 are in play every week. That is typical of Nippon’s approach to introducing new shafts.

The NSPro 950 has been available for longer than I have been professionally fitting. It is still available in most every fitting system from every major club manufacturer. The success of the Nippon Modus3 shafts has heightened the popularity of Nippon’s products.The differences between the NSPro 950 and the neo are subtle.

This is a long video where we talk about a lot of Nippon golf shafts, the discussion of the 950GHneo is early in the video at 2:40 on the timeline.
