Published

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.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
