Recommended Posts

I'm using KBS Tour (Stiff) shafts now but have been considering some new irons and outfitting them with the modus. Anybody have much experience with one vs the other or other suggestions even??

Ok, so, glowing reviews on modus. Going to try to demo them in the i200 or TM 750.

I love that the Modus 105 is a stock option in the Ping i200s

I've been playing my new Ping i200s with Modus 105 (stiff) shafts all spring. I've played dynamic gold a long time but I'm totally switching to Modus 105...I've not hit so many close iron shots before!

I tried both and went with the KBS tour 90 for the higher higher ball flight--so I guess it depends on if you are looking for on your ball flight. If you want slightly lower, then probably the Nippon.

From the Modus line yes, but the Nippon Pro 950 will play very similar to the KBS Tour 90

I'm using the modus 3 130 x in my Srixons. Had the KBS tour V 120 x in my hogans. I like this shaft a lot better. The 130 get the ball in the air more and that is what I needed.

Yup, the 120 is a lower launching shaft than the 130. Most people just think the weight is the only difference

I too switched from kbs Tour to modus 130s and will tell you it's the best decision I ever made.

Really bummed I never got to try out the modus line. No one around me has the 130x or the 120tx.

Wow. What a great time for this thread. I'm about to pull the trigger on the Srixon 735 or 535/735 combo and have been reading and watching everything I can on the Modus 105 and 120.

 

Everything about my game says 105 (I'm currently playing KBS Tour90) but my only hands on experience so far has been the 120 and I was hitting them so straight and high, shot after shot after shot. I don't have anywhere nearby where I can try rhe 105.

 

So tomorrow I'm borrowing those same 120's and going to put them in play for a round. Even though they are stiff and I'm on the border of stiff and Regular.

I hit the same club with that KBS, felt hollow and dead compared to the Nippon.

The 105s will launch higher than the 120s

Yeah. That's what I gathered from the web site based the 105 having a softer tip and rhe 765 having a mid shaft bend profile.

 

I was hitting the 7 high enough the other day with the 120. I'll be interested to see tomorrow if I have the same results with the 5.

I was ready to pull the trigger on the modus 105 in a new set of irons until the fitter had me hit the Project X 115 LZ. Similar feel but much better results for me. Might be with a hit or two if you get the chance.

I suggest not being "fresh" when getting fitted for your shaft.  Michael Breed said a few weeks ago that he does all of his fittings after his students play 18.  He wants his students to be fit into shafts that they are going to get optimal results with late in the round.  So many times people get fit into shafts during a fitting in which they are well rested and swinging 100% which actually hurts them later in rounds when they are wearing down

That's actually a great point, and thats the way I did my Fitting last year in Pinehurst, walked 18 an 18 hole round, had a quick lunch then straight to the fitting studio.  And you are right, after a few swings I was feeling tired and sweating all over again.  But the fitter said that was fine, for the exact reason you are mentioning.

 

It's also the reason MDGolfHacker suggested I be very very careful on liking how well I'm swinging the 120Tours on the range, and think about how they will feel around 14th hole.    Going to try and get out for a round this morning with them to see.

Thinking about those again. They were the best performers I've ever hit. I tried a bunch yesterday. And I didn't want to like the Modus, but it called to me.

 

And said Alan, you hit very nice shots with me, you'd be stupid not to get me. Those other guys were too high or too low.

 

I hit the C-Taper lights too, everything looked like a knockdown to me, couldn't get any height with them.

I have the KBS tour stiffs in my Hogans, I like them fine. TBH, I've never really thought much about the shafts in my irons other than relative stiffness. Going through the fitting computer for the Ping i200s, I was matched with the Modus3s in XS so, I'm a little nervous but we'll see how it goes!

I have those same shafts in mine. You'll love the Modus

It's definitely a Srixon thing. I have the 130s in my 765s and they are very crisp. High, solid ball flight

I've hit all the Nippon models and they just didn't do it for me. I didn't like the feel and they seemed to spin a lot. I'll stick with my C-Tapers!
