l left the game in 2009 and just starting to hit balls and look for a new set of irons/driver/woods. WOW, my head is spinning with all these technologies and l am learning as much as l can before l buy. l live where there's no place to go try out these shafts etc so l rely on folks like you. Thank you.
I have the modus 114 being stiff in my Srixon Z785 irons and couldnt be happier. I also have KBS in my WS V6s Tours but they are 90g so not a true comparison. The V6s are also a club loft lower so I have to play up a club. Srixons are in the bag...
I’ve been gaming the Project X LZ shafts in 5.5 and absolutely hate them. They have so much kick to them that it throws my whole swing off. Feels like graphite to me. Does the Modus 120 in Stiff have more of a traditional stiff flex and play more like a standard shaft as opposed to the LZ?
Great review from a fellow Sydney-sider, and especially informative regarding standardisation (or lack of) across different manufacturers, I play and really like the Modus 120 S which you correctly state is 114g. Just a bit of insight into how Nippon quotes their shaft weights for this specific model.... the Modus 120 comes in Reg, Stiff, X Stiff, and Tour Stiff. Each of the shafts varying in weight, so Nippon chooses to name the shaft (at least in the Modus 120 range) after the specs of the X Stiff shaft i.e. their baseline for the Modus 120 is the X Stiff shaft. In this instance, the Modus 120 X Stiff is in fact 120g. They sometimes follow, but often deviate from this with other models which reinforces your general observation of no consistency re: standardisation. Anyway great review and look forward to viewing your future reviews!

Used to game the KBS, and now game the Modus, and I much prefer the feel and feedback of the Modus. My dispersion is also better with the Modus, however overall performance in terms of spin, carry and trajectory I found to be similar.
I am gaming the Nippon Modus 105 in regular which hives me mid hight launch. Gamed the Project X 5.5 previously and the Nippon is a nice step up with penetrating flight. I play same shaft in irons and wedges.
Curious, in the beginning of the video you said you do not know what a mid launch shaft really is and then partway through you say 75 feet peak height is mid launch?
I game the modus shafts, they are absolutely incredible! Do you know the exact gram weight of the modus tour 120 x? I’m interested to know if it’s exactly 120g since it’s the x flex..

I love the kbs shafts but don't like heavy shafts as I onlg swing around 94mph with driver. I've tried lots of iron shafts out there and always test best with mid weight shafts. I get best results with kbs 105 but moved to graphite last year with the kbs 90 in my mavrik pro irons and I'm liking the feel of the graphite compared to the steel. I also have gamed modus 105 but there not just as accurate at the side of the kbs for me.
@@SydneyGolfTech now I've tried graphite I certainly won't go back to steel. They feel so smoother and the kbs 90g graphite is as stable as my old 105 steel. They have come on so much graphite iron shafts over the last few years I'm surprised many more people don't switch to them
@@darrenbell6376 I suppose they are still a little expensive for good quality graphite shafts. More and more people will switch to them. Even PGA tour guys are starting to use graphite in their irons.
I’ve watched a few reviews of this modus 120 shaft today, and each review has had this anomalous tight dispersion in distance. My guess is the soft midsection somehow produces a more consistent speed through contact compared to softer tip sections, but idk… 🤷🏻♂️ Anyone out there got any feedback on that?
For sure, i just thought the uniqueness of the bend profile of this shaft might have something to do with it. I play dynamic gold’s, arguably the best shaft, and love the feel of the consistent bend profile, but i can get a decently wide spread variation in my distance control. Just wondered if anyone had any specific info surrounding this.
I have mentioned a little about my iron shafts in previous “what’s in the bag” and “fujikura pro vs c taper” videos. I could definitely do another run down of the graphite shafts that I use. I mostly changed because they are more forgiving, feel better and I didn’t lose anything performance wise.
Hello, I play the Modus 120 Stiff. I've developed some tendonitis in my right elbow and am considering moving to graphite. Its hard to find many shaft options to try out so it feels a bit like shooting in the dark. Can you recommend any graphite shafts that are similar in feel to the Modus? I don't really care for light weight shafts and so was looking at some of the heavier graphite options like the Fujikura Pro 115, the MMT 125, Steelfiber 115 and the KBS TGI 110. Can you share any insight on any of these shafts regarding feel and performance compared to the Modus 120? Thank you.
It’s very hard to go passed the fujikura pro 115. Tgi and steelfiber tend to play a little stronger for their weight/flex and I don’t have any experience with MMT. I have been playing the pro for about 5 years and I can’t see myself going back to steel.
Hi Trevor. It’s a flightscope X2. I really like the setup too, but I have recently improved it so I can freely swing a driver. There’s not quite enough room for drivers in the setup in this video. Thanks.
CORRECTION: The number DO NOT lie...it's the companies doing the testing that lie. The numbers are the numbers but like you said if these companies do their own testing then that is why we are in this predicament.
Currently play kbs but had the opportunity to hit a good amount of shots with the modus paired up with same head as my irons and have to say I enjoyed the feel of modus a lot.

@@BuffaloBarber24 I have the Modus 120S in my ZX7’s. They feel good for sure, but I’d say they feel softer than a stiff flex shaft. They for sure feel softer than the s300’s I had in my 712CB’s. I am switching out of them now though, with the swing changes I’ve made they feel too light and whippy now. Ended up in the PX LZ 6.5’s.
Awesome as I got fit for $ taper lite but Wilson can’t supply and settled for the dynamic s300 and I really don’t like them at all hence why I sent you a message on another social source but I just can’t decide what I want

O hi
Curious, in the beginning of the video you said you do not know what a mid launch shaft really is and then partway through you say 75 feet peak height is mid launch?
Is there a question in here or are you just making a statement? There is a difference between launch and peak height.
Then why do you equate 75 feet peak height as mid launch?
@@booger65man based on the technology used and the swing parameters.
That’s fine I was just curious. You seem very defensive.
@@booger65man not at all. I’m just confused by your first comment.

I currently game the KBS Tour but this has given me food for thought. How about wedge shafts from Nippon? What are the options there?
Nippon makes really good wedge shafts to go with the modus. 125, 115 and 105 are offered.
hated my kbs tour 120 stiff shafts since the day i got them.
had kbs tour 90 stiff before that and hated them even more except for the extra distance

I suppose it gets down to the player but also the fact that the manufacturer is one of, if not the best in golf.
