Nippon 1050 GH Parallel Iron Shafts

[ShortGameSavesLies]

I had an iron fitting today, to fit my existing heads (2023 Aerojet) to the correct shafts for me. I thought the fitter did a really good job, and I was able to do my part with quality swings as well.

 

What we landed on were Nippon 1050GH parallel shafts at +1" and heads bent 2 degrees upright. But..  What I'm not willing to do is pay $100/shaft when they ARE available online from $23-27/shaft online. 

 

My question is - Does anyone know where I can find these shafts uncut? Everything I've found comes in a set at standard lengths, and I need them uncut or +1".

Yeah, I saw this, but nowhere in their specs does it give any specifics like if they've been cut to standard lengths or if they are uncut

Parallel tip Nippon 1050GH are a constant weight shaft even though they're parallel tip. They come in discrete sets to match the respective iron because they're not meant to be tip-trimmed - you trim the butt to length only. +1" shouldn't be an issue because you have plenty to play with.

 

This is the cheapest I've seen them:

On a side note - what does $100 per shaft include? If it's fitted including grips and labour - I'd be inclined to stop complaining. YMMV.

doubtful they have been cut to standard length; new shafts are uncut.   You can call them an ask if you have doubts.

Just includes gluing them to the head and cutting them to length (in the butt obviously). I have a set of grips waiting to go on them. I already paid for the fitting (which was well worth the $175, I dont have a trackman) but $680 for a set of shafts that are sub $200 otherwise.. It's just a bit steep, IMO.

surprised he fit you into those shafts. they're quite a few years old. I wonder if Nippon has a newer shaft that is comparable? Modus 105?

I wondered this too - But the numbers definitely didn't lie. I'll definitely be doing some digging.
