2020 Official Member Review: Nippon Modus GOST Hybrid Shaft


StrokerAce

Recommended Posts

I only had one opportunity to use my 3h today, and I shanked it badly. I won’t blame that on the shaft though, it was all me.

I’ll try to put it in play a bit more later this week. I should be able to get out either Thursday or Friday in the afternoon.

I want to try one but $250 on a blind test is rough if it doesn't work out haha. Is there a dollar shaft club yet?

Only hit my GOST hybrid four times during the round today.  Three were good and one was a horrible swing that only went 100 yards.  Oops.

The biggest story from the round is how horrible the greens were.  The head greenskeeper is blaming the wet spring for the conditions; but no other course in the area is like this.  It looks like something you would see from Club Pro Guy on Twitter!

Here are the two greens that I three-putted today.

Yikes! That looks like some sort of disease. Hopefully they can rejuvenate them before the hot summer months.

I hit the hybrid once today. #2 hole at Brea Creek. The ball flight and distance were exactly what I was expecting. Although my trajectory is still lower than I would like it is a big improvement over my original shaft.

This is a view from the #2 tee box. The green is across the creek on the right.

Oh jease that is bad. What kind of grass do you know? Also has it been really hot and humid? Looks like Pythium Blight because of how much real estate it is taking up and the water build up.

That's the worst part; no one at the course is owning up to it and explaining what happened and how they are going to fix it.  Someone said the head pro blamed a wet spring on the greens, but no other course in the area looks like this.  It also definitely was not hot/humid in Wisconsin.

The good news is the crappy greens don't really have any effect on my GOST testing.  If anything I'm more likely to be aggressive with the hybrid on par 5's knowing that the only way I can make birdie is if I get extremely close to the pin to eliminate the Plinko greens.

Still sucks that no one is owning up to it. We have a course here that used to be fantastic until the owner didn’t want to put money into it to keep it up. Then he started blaming everyone else for the conditions. It used to host some state AM events too.

Took a lesson last week and got some things back in line with my swing and was finally able to handle this shaft. Based on the wind at my club I either hit hybrid five or six times a round or once or twice. On Sunday I got to hit it once from the fairway. On the par 5 fifth hole I had 261 flag and 249 from in a left to right wind that was helping slightly. Hit a nice high cut that flew 250 and landed like a butterfly with broken wings. This could be a winner if my swing can hold up to it.

Sounds like an awesome shot.  Do you think it's something you could have pulled off with your old shaft or with this a GOST speciality?

I'm looking to finalize my data next week.  Between indoor shots with my Skytrak and outdoors with Arccos I have over 60 shots currently tracked.  To help with a final push before crossing the finish line I'm playing 27 holes tomorrow, 18 Saturday, and 18 more on Sunday.  If I don't have good data by the end of the weekend I don't think there's any hope for me at all.

I could have hit it with the other shaft I have for my hybrid. The shaft I got fit for was a KBS Proto 95x that is tipped an inch, which is a pretty stout shaft. The biggest difference that I am finding is if I don’t have the speed that I am used to the GOST is a bit much to handle. Reminds of a smoother feeling HZRDUS black.

Played 63 holes over the last four days.  27 on Thursday, 18 Saturday, and 18 on Sunday.  I hit 14 Arccos tracked shots with my GOST hybrid shaft over that time so the data is looking really good right now.  I'm hoping to finish up my official review later this week.

The shaft is definitely a quality product, but did it beat my old Fujikura ATMOS shaft?  Is it worth the $250 MSRP???  Results coming soon!

@Jmikecpa - How is the feel and performance compared to some of the Tour AD products?  I'm looking at a new shaft for my U85.  I currently have the KBS Proto in there, but I'm looking at the Tour AD DI.  I didn't know if the GOST would be able to go head-to-head with Graphite Design.

Range day today. It’s been difficult getting the hybrid in play on my weekly one or two rounds since the pandemic hit. So I get the most work with it on the range. Most rounds I may have one or two chances to use it. And at least one will be a grounder to short.

 

The good news is that in spite of that I am still seeing much better results than I did with my original shaft. My shots are pretty straight. No severe hooks or slices. But still a fairly low trajectory. Still, when I hit it flush, and sometimes even when I do not, I am getting 165-175 yards distance. That is exactly what I need this club for. Liking the feel of the stiffer shaft.

My review is up!  It was a lot of fun testing out the shaft this spring.  I'll continue to post periodic updates throughout the summer.

N.S. Pro Modus3 G.O.S.T. Hybrid Shaft – Official MGS Forum Review by Bucky CC (06/12/2020)

Hi, I’m Bucky CC.  You may remember me from such reviews as #CobraConnect Challenge 3, 2018 SuperSpeed golf, and Lead Paint: Delicious But Deadly.

200px-Troymcclure.png.3dcf6b5d4dd64aefa4e53eeff3c3db4b.png

Intro

While golf courses in Wisconsin had a late opening this year I have been able to get out for 12 rounds so far.  My 2020 handicap index has fluctuated between 4.9 and 5.9.  According to 49 Arccos rounds over the last year my biggest strength is putting and biggest weakness is driving (too many penalties off the tee).

1234506322_Arccosoverallstats.JPG.7fa6d89b0640e435cd8face97e7e4726.JPG

I generally swing 105-110 mph with a driver.  I have an X flex in the big stick and 3 wood, but play stiff shafts in the hybrids and irons.  My pre-testing hybrid setup consisted of 3 (19°) and 4 (21°) Cobra F9 hybrids with Fujikura ATMOS 7 Stiff shafts.  I decided to try out the new GOST shaft in my 3 hybrid as I use it the most off the tee as a fairway finder and on 2nd shots into par 5’s.

With my old ATMOS 7 shaft I hit 42.6% fairways off the tee with a pretty equal mix of misses both left and right.  Arccos calculated my smart distance at 232 yards with an average dispersion of 18 yards.

On approach shots my distance drops slightly to 228.  Same dispersion issues though with misses to both the left and right of the green.

My top priority with the new GOST hybrid shaft is to improve dispersion.  If I could find more fairways off the tee without sacrificing distance I would consider it a smashing success.

First Impressions

Nippon is known for making high quality iron shafts with extremely tight tolerances.  I’ve hit them multiple times in club fittings and always came away impressed.

The story of the GOST shaft is trying to combine the easy launch and high trajectory of graphite with the solid feel and tight dispersion of steel.  Nippon is trying to give us regular guys all the advantages of graphite AND steel without the trade-offs associated with either material.

Unfortunately I was not able to get fit for my shaft before ordering due to so many places being shut down.  Looking at the GOST specs I decided that the Tour S most closely aligned with my previous setup.  I considered going for the X flex but the 101g weight scared me off a bit.  I wish Nippon would have included a general swing speed recommendation to show what their intended audience was for each flex.

Right out of the box it was love at first sight.  The solid matte black look is classy, timeless, and just about perfect.  I ended up placing the logo down to have a completely murdered out black on black look with the Cobra head.

After staring at the shaft for the better part of a minute I made a trip to my local pro to build the new club.  After installation the first thing I noticed was how heavy the club felt.  My old graphite ATMOS shaft weighed in at 75g while the Tour S flex GOST comes in at 91g.  Would I lose distance due to the heavier shaft?  What would the point of tighter dispersion be if my 3 hybrid dropped to the exact same distance as my 4 hybrid?  Did I dodge a bullet staying away from the 101g shaft?

question.jpg.f3537212c91e1c4875fcb5b4fdc966af.jpg

In order to earn a permanent spot in my bag I need to see improved dispersion without a noticeable drop-off in distance.  To determine this I’m going to test out the shaft on my indoor SkyTrak setup along with on course tracking using Arccos.

Looks (10 out of 10 points) 

As I said before I’m a big fan of matte black clubs and shafts.  The actual graphics on the shaft are precise and understated (in a good way).  Where the club really shines is when you install it with the logo down; I love the all black and white look.

659810028_straightdown.jpg.a79e0530260644f1c76f7799108af74c.jpg

Feel (9 out of 10 points)

The shaft feels very stable and a bit on the heavy side.  When swinging full speed it definitely feels more like a steel shaft even though it obviously looks like a standard graphite shaft.

Aside from the weight it swings very solid and not at all flimsy.  I would have loved to try out the 101 gram X flex shaft before ordering to see if there were any differences with the stiffer shaft and heavier weight.  The load and kick were close enough to my ATMOS 7 shaft that there really wasn’t much of an adjustment period.

Basic Characteristics (18 out of 20 points)

I was lucky enough to purchase a SkyTrak before the pandemic hit in March.  After I was selected as a reviewer for this test I obtained a baseline of 35 shots over 3 separate sessions with my old ATMOS shaft.

952295149_ATMOSSkyTrakbaseline.JPG.8c4ad88578eeea19688b3b931a69d40b.JPG

I won’t post every single shot here but one thing I struggled with was a big miss to the right.  17 of my 35 shots (48.6%) were more than 10 yards to the right of my intended target.

Before my course opened up for the year I also spent some time with the new GOST shaft indoors.

396045413_GOSTSkyTrak.JPG.df5a789b8523a8b0ba9991351a9e7e24.JPG

Some of the key indoor findings:
•    ball speed 1.5mph higher with GOST
•    backspin increased 6%
•    same launch angle but higher peak height from more backspin
•    17 of 35 (48%) shots with old shaft more than 10 yards right; 4 of 30 (13.3%) shots with GOST
•    carry and total yards down ~1%
•    traded an avg 5.7 yard miss to the right for a 5.6 yard miss to the left

The biggest take-away from my indoor sessions were confidence that I was going to see similar distance numbers with the new shaft.  I was also intrigued to see if it would really eliminate my frequent misses to the right.

1230933687_attentiongrabber.jpg.72ea3c78f6bbd08d971d488a9bb4fdb9.jpg

On-Course / LM Performance (30 out of 30 points)

I love having the Arccos system attached to my clubs so I can get real data to show exactly how a club is performing.

Arccos calculated my smart distance with the old ATMOS shaft as 232 yards off the tee with 42.6% fairways hit and an average dispersion of 18 yards.  The approach distance came in at 228 yards from a combination of fairway and rough shots.

The new GOST shaft showed a slight increase in Smart Distance to 234 yards with 58.3% fairways hit and average dispersion of 16 yards.  Approach distance was 223.

940627634_GOSToffthetee.JPG.efc735b9ef2be23ca915d3bf0dd751aa.JPG2124102726_GOSTteedispersion.JPG.56a06ca3d5ce56c899bfe9b9470d35aa.JPG

The differences in distance are neglible to me.  Course conditions, weather, being able to warm up properly before the round and a myriad of other issues would all have a slight effect on the total distance up or down.

But did you see that I hit 15.7% more fairways!?!  To do that without seeing a change in distance is monumental.  I can attest to feeling extremely confident on tight par 4’s when I have the GOST shaft in my hands.  I still have the occasional terrible shot off the tee (hence the dispersion not moving much), but I can 100% confirm being in better position with the GOST shaft.  15.7%!!!!!!  🤩

Score-wise my handicap has not changed much but I have posted 8 straight rounds in the 70’s which I’ve never done before.  It feels like it’s just a matter of time before I put it all together for something really low.

This shaft has fully met my high expectations.  I’m not sure there is anything I would really want to see improved but it  does have me curious to see what the heavier X flex shaft would do.  Yeah I know, don’t mess with a good thing.

Chuck-Norris-Approves.jpg.69e7f3371385fa5d14045d2457263b3d.jpg

Miscellaneous (8 out of 10 points)

The one issue I have with this shaft is the overall cost of it.  At an MSRP of $250 you are looking at a shaft that costs greater than or equal to a brand new club.  My Cobra F9 originally retailed for $219 and now goes for $169 or less.  Each person has their own personal budget when it comes to golf but to me $250 for a hybrid shaft is definitely on the high end of things.  Can't ding them too much for coming out with a premium product and looking for a premium price.

Play it or Trade it? (20 out of 20 points)

Looking at the indoor numbers I was intrigued by the shaft but was not blown away by anything.  Most of my stats were within striking difference of the old shaft.  The biggest takeaway is that it appeared to eliminate the number of big misses to the right.

Where this really shined was on the course.  Having a 15.7% increase in fairways hit without sacrificing distance is exactly what I was looking for when I put my name in the testing pool.  This shaft is 100% staying in my bag.

Conclusion

Nippon created the N.S. Pro Modus3 G.O.S.T. Hybrid Shaft with the intent to give people the easy launch and high trajectory of graphite with the solid feel and tight dispersion of steel.  They hit the mark perfectly.  I saw a 15.7% increase in fairways off the tee without seeing any loss in distance.  Even with the higher MSRP of $250 I’m strongly considering buying a 2nd GOST shaft to put in my 4 hybrid.

Final Score: (95 out of 100 points)

N.S. Pro Modus3 G.O.S.T. Hybrid Shaft – Official MGS Forum Review by Bucky CC (06/12/2020)

Hi, I’m Bucky CC.  You may remember me from such reviews as #CobraConnect Challenge 3, 2018 SuperSpeed golf, and Lead Paint: Delicious But Deadly.

200px-Troymcclure.png.3dcf6b5d4dd64aefa4e53eeff3c3db4b.png

Intro

While golf courses in Wisconsin had a late opening this year I have been able to get out for 12 rounds so far.  My 2020 handicap index has fluctuated between 4.9 and 5.9.  According to 49 Arccos rounds over the last year my biggest strength is putting and biggest weakness is driving (too many penalties off the tee).

1234506322_Arccosoverallstats.JPG.7fa6d89b0640e435cd8face97e7e4726.JPG

I generally swing 105-110 mph with a driver.  I have an X flex in the big stick and 3 wood, but play stiff shafts in the hybrids and irons.  My pre-testing hybrid setup consisted of 3 (19°) and 4 (21°) Cobra F9 hybrids with Fujikura ATMOS 7 Stiff shafts.  I decided to try out the new GOST shaft in my 3 hybrid as I use it the most off the tee as a fairway finder and on 2nd shots into par 5’s.

With my old ATMOS 7 shaft I hit 42.6% fairways off the tee with a pretty equal mix of misses both left and right.  Arccos calculated my smart distance at 232 yards with an average dispersion of 18 yards.

55966521_old3hybridoffthetee.JPG.89c56ee2b58837eacb641dafa059103a.JPG263957347_oldshaftteedispersion.JPG.1925f9c8d14656ae1854c43fe29b8d2e.JPG

On approach shots my distance drops slightly to 228.  Same dispersion issues though with misses to both the left and right of the green.

My top priority with the new GOST hybrid shaft is to improve dispersion.  If I could find more fairways off the tee without sacrificing distance I would consider it a smashing success.

I won’t post every single shot here but one thing I struggled with was a big miss to the right.  17 of my 35 shots (48.6%) were more than 10 yards to the right of my intended target.

Before my course opened up for the year I also spent some time with the new GOST shaft indoors.

396045413_GOSTSkyTrak.JPG.df5a789b8523a8b0ba9991351a9e7e24.JPG

Some of the key indoor findings:
•    ball speed 1.5mph higher with GOST
•    backspin increased 6%
•    same launch angle but higher peak height from more backspin
•    17 of 35 (48%) shots with old shaft more than 10 yards right; 4 of 30 (13.3%) shots with GOST
•    carry and total yards down ~1%
•    traded an avg 5.7 yard miss to the right for a 5.6 yard miss to the left

The biggest take-away from my indoor sessions were confidence that I was going to see similar distance numbers with the new shaft.  I was also intrigued to see if it would really eliminate my frequent misses to the right.

On-Course / LM Performance (30 out of 30 points)

I love having the Arccos system attached to my clubs so I can get real data to show exactly how a club is performing.

Arccos calculated my smart distance with the old ATMOS shaft as 232 yards off the tee with 42.6% fairways hit and an average dispersion of 18 yards.  The approach distance came in at 228 yards from a combination of fairway and rough shots.

The new GOST shaft showed a slight increase in Smart Distance to 234 yards with 58.3% fairways hit and average dispersion of 16 yards.  Approach distance was 223.

The differences in distance are neglible to me.  Course conditions, weather, being able to warm up properly before the round and a myriad of other issues would all have a slight effect on the total distance up or down.

But did you see that I hit 15.7% more fairways!?!  To do that without seeing a change in distance is monumental.  I can attest to feeling extremely confident on tight par 4’s when I have the GOST shaft in my hands.  I still have the occasional terrible shot off the tee (hence the dispersion not moving much), but I can 100% confirm being in better position with the GOST shaft.  15.7%!!!!!!  🤩

Great review! Interesting how similar the stats were to KBS Proto and nice to see you still found a home for the GOST. 

I think the KBS Proto is the high water mark right now for hybrid shafts and the fact that the GOST was on par is a win. I liked it a lot and for me it just fits better in an iron than a hybrid, no loss of points there just how I would use it.

I had a shot today that was 220 yards that I had to hit a low hook under trees. Maybe fly it 190 and then get it to chase. With the GOST. Don’t feel I could hit this shot with a hybrid but with it in my 4 iron I feel I could with ease. The difference is how aggressive I can be with the strike.
