N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 105 and N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 125
CARLSBAD, CA (July 10, 2015)- Nippon Shaft for the first time will bring to market two new types of steel shafts that tour pros already have used to win a combined 14 events on the PGA TOUR and the Japan Golf Tour.
On August 1, 2015, Nippon Shaft will release the N.S. PRO MODUS3 Tour 105 and N.S. PRO MODUS3 Tour 125 for sale to the public. The release of the two shafts is the outcome of four years of Nippon Shaft’s work with Tour professionals, who began interacting with company representatives when Nippon Shaft began traveling with the PGA TOUR on a regular basis in 2009.
“Nippon Shaft is proud to add two models to the tour-proven N.S. PRO MODUS3 series: the lightweight N.S. PRO MODUS3 Tour 105 and the traditional weight N.S. PRO MODUS3 Tour 125,” said Hiro Fukuda, sales and marketing for Nippon Shaft.
“It takes time and exhaustive testing to create products that meet the performance requirements of the world’s best players,” Fukuda said. “Listening to players’ feedback over the last 48 months, Nippon Shaft engineers developed ‘tour’ prototype shafts to suit the needs of tour professionals and these shafts have been further refined and engineered in response to their comments.”
The shafts will be available in the United States, United Kingdom and in Australia through Nippon Shaft’s network of authorized dealers.
Tour pros have been using – and winning with – the two shafts in prototype form both in competition and in testing environments, providing important input to Nippon Shaft engineers in the development phase, according to Fukuda.
Professional tour golfers play one of the four N.S. PRO MODUS3 Tour models because each delivers optimum control over three modes of ball flight – trajectory, distance and direction – by the optimum control over the three sections of a golf shaft. The Tour 105 and Tour 125 are designed with:
1. Tip Section: Mid rigidity increases launch conditions (mid/high trajectory)
2. Mid Section: Mid rigidity promotes control of (easy) launch and tour level spin
3. Butt Section: Mid rigidity promotes control and soft impact feel
