WRX Spotlight: Nippon N.S. PRO Regio Formula graphite shafts

Published

on

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.

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.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
