Nippon users, what wedge shafts?

[EdChoi]

So with ns pro 1050s in my irons, i have my three wedges in the standard dynamic gold shafts.

I need to extend the length of two of them, so I figured it would be a good time to get new shafts.

What shafts do people go with?

I was thinking either the 1150s, or the super peening red.

thanks.

Hey Ed,

I play the 1150's in x-stiff in my TourStage irons and had used them in stiff in a couple of G-Field wedges. Now I'm really happy with them in the irons but wasn't too thrilled with them in the wedges. I was unhappy with the high trajectory. I prefer full wedge shots with a somewhat low trajectory.

I went with True Temper Black Golds and have been very pleased. Having said that however, I've been very curious about the Super Peening by Nippon. They're touted as providing a lower trajectory than the 1050's, 1150's etc. In regards to the Super Peening, the Red and Orange both have mid kickpoints much like the 1050's, 1150's. The blue has a high kick point which would provide a lower trajectory. I've never hit them but would like to one day. Still, not so sure how they would perform in a wedge. Their website says they're made for harder swings to provide greater control so they may lead to lower trajectory from that standpoint. The one thing I would worry about is whether they provide the "feel" many golfers wish for when it comes to their wedges. If you do take the plunge and go with the Super Peening please let us all know how it goes. Seems a few of us around here have been interested in these but just haven't tried them as of yet.

Gocchin, Chris and others have found great success with graphite shafts, and I know myself and Idrive really like Black Golds in wedge shafts. I feel they provide the trajectory I'm looking for with great feel. Good luck and if anyone out there has hit the Super Peening please share with us your experiences.

My preferred shaft is the 1150 stiff in my irons, but in all my wedges I prefer the S400. Gives me the solid feel and more distance and trajectory control.

The 1150 just did not feel right on all those half wedge shots or the chips around the green...particularly when I am easing on the swing to get better control..

I use the 1050 X in my MP-33's and Tour Concept S3 n my Fourteen wedges. The wedges are being reshafted with the TC S3 right now, so I don't have any review for now. I always used S-400 in all my previous wedges, about which I didn't have any complaint, but I just wanted to try something new.

Same here, 1150s in my epons, and 950s in the r7 forged; Bl Golds are great in my wedges. Lower flight and great feel.

I play the 950GH stiff in my irons, but they would be way too light and soft for wedges. I play the Rifle 5.5 Spinner shafts in the wedges. I do not see where Tour Spec offers the Rifle spinners as an alternative. I would probably go with DG S300 as an alternative. I found I just cannot chip consistently or escape the sand with light weight shafts.
