landshark Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 can someone compare differences i would see of: 1. feel 2. dispersion 3. trajectory 4. length between these shafts, and rank if you could. Nippon 1150 project x flighted kbs tour these are the shafts i am considering. currently play with nippon 950gh but want a little lower shot but still have feel.

Eca Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have used ur list (non flighted PX). They are all good shafts and will fit different swing type. As a fairly high ball hitter, the KBS Tour hit too high for me but great feel. PX went lower but dead feel. Nippon was smooth and performed well. I went to KBS c taper and I got the KBS nice feel but lower trajectory. If I was to pick out of your list then the 1150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've been using the KBS Tours for almost 2 years now. Had the Nippon 1150 Tours in my previous sets for at least a couple of years. I had only demoed the Project X a few times. To me it felt like I couldn't load the Project X properly even when going with softer flex than recommended. If you have a quick transition then maybe you'll like the stable feel but they're just not for me. They also felt a bit harsh at impact IMO. KBS Tour VS Nippon 1150GH Tour 1.Feel - Both the KBS Tour and the 1150 Tour felt much better than the Project X but are both very different. The first thing you'll notice coming from the 950GH is the weight. If you've been playing the 950GH for a while then these will feel quite heavy to you. The CUT weight of both shafts are pretty close but the 1150 Tour will feel heavier than the KBS Tour at the same length without any tip weights. The 1150s felt very similar but a bit more stable than the 950GH at transition. I felt like I can load the 1150 a bit more but with less control than the KBS Tour. At impact the 1150 has a distinctive kick similar to the 950GH but much more solid and not as hollow. The KBS Tours felt smoother at impact but with less kick than the 1150. 2.Dispersion - Compared to the 950GH the 1150s have much much better dispersion. That said, my dispersion with the KBS Tours have improved over the 1150s. Both have very good dispersion but I get better distance control with the KBS Tours. Especially in the long irons. 3.Trajectory - The 1150 launches much lower than the 950GH and also spins less. The KBS Tour launches noticeably higher than the 1150s. The initial launch is almost as high as the 950GH but with less spin and a nice boring flight. 4.Length - For me they are very close in distance but this can be very different to others in different irons. The 1150 has more kick and lower launch while the KBS has lower spin. Bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landshark Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 thanks for the feedback on the 1150 shafts. turns out now the clubs i may be getting may only offer the 1050 nippon and not the 1150. sorry to pain you guys again, but how different are the 1050?

supo Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 ah the NS 1050s , they were my old favs, i have set of sst pured ones still and i used to have these in all my irons till i went heavier. and ventured in NS Super peening. very very nice lively stingy feel to the 1050s. high launch tho, if u want to hit chasing balls to greens then these most df are not the best irons, but if u dont need to do that they are absolutely terrifico. mine are in X flex and the dispersion is really really good, light and very high. i was thinking a while ago of putting this shaft in my 3 and 4 irons to make them a lot easier to control, dont have to swing as fast ,and get it in the air.

landshark Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 thanks supo. so you're saying that except really for the weight, the 950 and 1050 will pretty much launch similarly? looks like maybe a softstepped 1150 in stiff would give me a similar flex to my 950 then?
