I will be following this test to see what comes from it. I have always thought there would be more options for fitting players if there was a better graphite iron shaft selections. What the have done with drivers and woods to fit them to you swing or desired ball flight, I would love to get that in my irons.

Not for me, but interested in the results. I am using Nippon Modus 120s right now, and used 1050gh when i first starting playing. Nippon makes great products and have always been among the best in the lighter weight steel options. The blue labeling is also really nice. I'm sure these will be a treat for someone. Good luck! and can't wait to hear about it.

Thanks MGS and Nippon.

Testers Wanted (3)

One of the ongoing debates, or maybe decisions among golfers is graphite or steel for iron shafts. It was long ago decided that graphite is the way to go for drivers, fairway woods and hybrids. But the use of steel in the iron category--maybe due to the name--who know, is still holding strong as the most common material used in most sets of irons on the market.   

With the ever increasing models of graphite and it's lighter weight benefits in the marketplace, steel has fought back with technology and new materials to offer some of the same benefits as steel--namely weight. 

Enter Nippon with the N.S. Pro Zelos model.   A true lightweight steel that offers some of the benefits of graphite--mainly increased speed due to a lighter weight. And, just as Nippon has multiple models in the very successful Modus lineup, it offers three different models in the Zelos line. 

Zelos 6 is the lightest coming in at 68 grams

Zelos 7 offers a range of 73 to 77 grams depending on the flex

Zelos 8 comes in 84 or 87 gram for a bit heavier feel, but still very much in the lightweight category for an iron shaft.
