yea they are tight, and high, ball gets up a lot higher than the kbs, much better distance control i think,

the kbs are like a uber populsion device. the ball goes further with these than others ive found

i dont like palying them. cant get my distance right and they afeel a bit boardy.

the ,modus play just a little looser than flex so tour x isnt say a DG x 100. and its a lot nice rfeeling and the ball goes the :right: distance.

Is the SP Blue lower than modus Stew?

I am gaming these at the moment. I have them soft stepped. I am loving them the are quite high launching and lands softly. i get more distance with these and as stew said they are controllable and consistant. These are my favourite iron shafts atm.

Hmm what I read initially modus is low & tip stiff. Sounds like SP blue if I wanna lower ball flight.

blue is lower. lowest

orange is mid . gives a higher kick but still straight.

modus gets in the air quickly and stays there. but goes staraight.

feel in all is a bilion times better than DG. albeit it prob higher.

been hitting the prototype modus in my yamaha 08s

day light between these and EVERYHING else.

Hi Eric, i has KBS originaly in the AF Tours B4 switching to the SP Blues, they launch a little lower for me but its not a huge difference the main difference is the SP Blue has a lot lot better feel than the KBS and as Stew said better distance control, i think it depends what head you putting them on to...........i hit the modus some TM irons and for me they came out much the same height but flex was softer and i think the blues felt better but not by much. My mate has the new c taper KBS going in a set probably this week so i will be interested to see how they go

E, il be blunt, the blues are what you want. they

feel a lot better than the modus shafts. actually

i am not impressed with the modus at all. they are good

but maybe i got spoiled with the original protos i had.

now switching from kbs to the modus or the sp blues is

a step in the right direction. get the blues

Lol Go the Blues hehe. I don't think we stand a chance this year. The maroons are practically the Aussie squad.

C, thanks for that, very intrigued indeed with SP Blue.

if you decide to go modus i suggest the x flex 120g version. the modus is softer to flex and the

S is 114 grams versus 126 or kbs. the x is 120 s closer to your KBS.

Eric,

i am reviving my old modus and will hard step the stiffs, lets see how they fare. found the S flex to be a bit on the loose

side hopefully hard stepping will make em more tight! had this idea bec i am suffering with my current set up of 1050s.

perfect weight and flex although i lost about 1 club due to the excessive height i am getting.

Sounds interesting C.. See how it goes.

Just googling around and come across KBS C taper. Suppose to be lower flight. Anyone hit this?

Eca,

Although I have not played the modus, I have gamed other nippons and liked their responsiveness and the smoothness . I am currently gaming the KBS Proto. For me and my swing at this point they represent the best risk reward ratio I can find until I find something better! They are super tight, smooth, provide a late kick and a soft landing which I like. Big improvement on the PX satin which was my favorite. Certainly a shaft to consider.

Hey F, are the KBS proto the ones that didn't make retail & they released the C-tapers?

Btw how do I edit title of post?

Eca,

Yes the proto are the first version of the C-Taper. I have found the C-Taper to produce a lower ball flight. Out of the two the protos suited me better. Both brilliant shaft and you do gain in length.

what would you think of the modus3 from someone used to hitting the 950? i wouldn't mind lowering my flight a tad, and allowing it to penetrate a little better. any distance differences or feel between the two?

been using the modus for some months now. love them. they are nice and smooth, trajectory is high but not high enough to

be considered balloon balls. i get nice floaters that just drop on a dime. they are probably the best shafts i have had. very smooth

predictable, powerful kicking. i have gained a club from my previous nspro 1050 shafts. just make sure to get fit with the right flex.
