Is there too much good stuff out there?
haha....i totally understand what you mean....almost all the stuff out there performs similar in terms of irons...you just have to decide blade or cavity back or GI and then pick one that suits your eye as well as your budget....its hard to go wrong with Yamaha or Epon or Tourstage or Miura or any of the top brands. When it comes to drivers, you have to pick one that ranges from small and low spin to big and hi spin or somewhere in between and then make sure the setup fits your eye

Mizuno MP 27 irons
MP27s were a great club and i found them to have excellent distance very forgiving, especially in the long irons, the only negative i can think of is that they were a bit thicker than i would like. I would game these in a heartbeat and i believe these stand up to everything available out there right now.....if they look good to you at address, you have a winner. Ive owned several sets of these irons in the past and would love to find a mint set to refinish in black boron or other black satin !

Control shaft ?
Control shafts are different for different swing types......a superstiff tip and mid section might help someone who is very strong and hands while a overall neutral swinger might want something more balanced for control and a swinger who is slower in swing speed and relies on the shaft to kick the ball out there would prefer the LY01. Another factor to consider is flex, if you choose too stiff or too soft a flex, the shaft may be perfect but the results will be very different. A Crazy LY01 at 6.4 will feel very different than a LY01 at 7.7. With all that being said, I have found the VC Speeder 6.2 and 7.2 to be very stable and accurate shafts. They are on the inexpensive side and definitely not exotic but they do get the job done quite nicely. Another shaft to consider is the Quadra FireExpress. If u let me know the amount of lag you like to hold and what your misses are ( what you are trying to avoid ) and some data like angle of attack and backspin and launch angle, that would be helpful for fitting.

Untipped shaft into 3 woods
this pretty much depends on the shaft......the lighter shafts such as speeder 6.3, i notice the tipping and on heavier shafts such as my speeder 8.3, a half inch won't change the feel or flight substantially......another factor to consider is where you are on the shaft, if you are maxing out your flex such as loading it 100% then you will notice a slightly lower ball flight and a tighter dispersion, however if you are sweeping/casting at the ball with very little lag, then it won't be as noticeable. In general, i do not tip my 3 woods because i need them to get up in the air and i value carry over roll....if i need to keep the ball down, ill hood my 3 iron. * The tourAD 6 and 7 play differently with the 6 being much more friendly while the 7 is more control....

Shaft tipping??
in terms of graphite shafts, i know some shaft companies should not be tipped or should i say not advised. The reason for this is some shafts are designed with the tip section to kick a specific way and tipping it will nullify the kick.....Basically tipping the shaft stiffens the feel and lowers trajectory a bit but again the amount of tipping will depend on which weight class the shaft is in and the bend profile and the beginning flex itself......Normally 3 woods are tipped about half an inch. When we are talking about iron shafts, parallel shafts can be tipped to a specific freq/flex and taper tips have a marginal amount of play, i believe that in most cases it is safe to tip taper tip iron shafts up to a quarter inch MAX, but i would not advise tipping metal taper tip iron shafts unless you know exactly what you are doing

N.S Pro Modus3 System3 Tour 125 Shafts
I dont find the c tapers harsh but they are stout to flex, if you find the proper flex, they are indeed smooth and hit a very tight ball which pierces the air and gives max distance. However if you choose a flex that is too stout, they tend to be less forgiving in terms of loading. I find the modus tends to be more forgiving even if you move up a flex, conversely if you play too soft a flex, the modus will be all over the course.....

N.S Pro Modus3 System3 Tour 125 Shafts
Since I'm a bit of a golf shaft whore, ill chime in with my experiences. Modus 120 : lightweight shaft and it actually hits a low spinning ball relative to its weight class, it has quite a nice kick at the end and i would consider this a distance shaft.....it does hit a piercing ball but the it also has plenty of spin to hold greens. Modus 130 : medium weight shaft, about the same weight as dgs300....i found this to be a very nice shaft, it has a higher launch and what seems to be higher spin as well.....its a great shaft for carry distances and it pretty much will sit on every green if you pinch the ball tight. this shaft is very hard to overload and is great for those of us who hit straight balls or like to play the smallest of cuts....i had a hard time producing a reliable draw because it was 50/50 that i would raw it or block it right. if u are playing a super windy course, you may not like these unless you are a good knockdown player. Modus ST : These are lightweight shafts but they don't feel lightweight at all, if anything, i would say these are smoother versions of the modus 120 and they have the distance without the pronounced kick and they do a great job of keeping the ball down, these may be my favorite shafts for my current swing. They do everything nicely, they are lightweight so u get good swing speed but they don't feel light so you still retain club head feel. They are distance shafts but they have good spin which will hold almost all types of greens. They launch med to med high but they do pierce through the wind. They are rare and pricey to help those of us who like the rare and bespoke stuff. C-Taper 120 : These play with less feel than the modus, they are more vague and the kick is less pronounced. The flight is lower and the spin is more than adequate if you pure it, however if you are thin with these, the ball releases like a bullet and with little spin.....i found these shafts easy to hit low and pretty reliable for draws and fades. These don't have the kick of modus 120s but have similar distance, if not more....if you are playing a cavity back on windy courses with soft greens and you like to swing hard, these may be the shafts you are looking for. C-Taper 125 : These are the big brother of the ctaper 120s.....i did notice that they are stouter and they will make a difference, if you like the ctaper 125s but find them a bit board, drop down to a SS ctaper 120 and you will be extremely pleased. No surprises here, just a excellent shaft for those who like this shaft profile.
