Can anyone advise me whether the Ns pro modus 3 shaft in s flex is most suitable? kindly share more info about yourself , swing, preferred ball flight etc etc. overall i love the modus3 and have them currently in my epon irons
November 7, 201113 yr Author comment_172176 kindly share more info about yourself , swing, preferred ball flight etc etc. overall i love the modus3 and have them currently in my epon irons Currently I am gaming a Miura MC-102 with Shimada KS-7001 R flex. I find it is too light and have no feel of the head, Swing weigth is D1. I tried a mizuno MP-59 with DG R300 and it feels right with good feel of the head and very good hit. My swing speed for the 6 iron is 75mph. It is not fast but somehow the heavier shaft weight gives me better feel and consistency. I prefer a mid to high ball launch. I heard the Modus 3 plays softer than flex and lighter than R300. I like the design of the PP-9003. It has some similarity to the very popular Honma LB-280. Your advise and comments is appreciated. Thanks.

I however think they are stiffer than R300 and almost bordering the s300. They are about 115 grains trimmed. I would go with an r flex if you don't have the speed for the s you won't be Able to maximize the shaft and launch it prperly. Why not try shimada tour r flex? They are slightly lighter than the r300 although this Will play slightly heavier and stiffer than a modus 3 r flex. Why not try a modus 3 r flex And if you find it sof you can always hard step.

Modus 3 does not seems to have a r flex. I have tried the modus 3 s flex with a different head at a fitting shop and it feels right for me. It does not feel as stiff as the PX 5.0 flighted which I gamed in my previous set of callaway x22 tour. When I compare the modus and the PX, the modus feels much lighter and softer which I like. Only concern is whether it matches the PP-9003 head. Thanks.

You have tested it already, as forit working for the heads, don't know have never Tried the pp9003

You have tested it already, as forit working for the heads, don't know have never Tried the pp9003 Spoon, since you have been playing the Modus3 for some time, how does it compare to the DG/PX/shimadas/Nspro sp? In terms of accurracy/distance/feel/control. Hope you can share some of your experience with the Modus3. Thanks.
November 9, 201113 yr comment_172203 I'm also interested to know especially comparing Modus vs Shimadas shaft
November 9, 201113 yr comment_172207 Spoon, since you have been playing the Modus3 for some time, how does it compare to the DG/PX/shimadas/Nspro sp? In terms of accurracy/distance/feel/control. Hope you can share some of your experience with the Modus3. Thanks. Ok il try to summarize this best I can, vs the px and DGs, the modus3 Are higher launch, they are also smoother feeling and have a punchier kick. When I say punchy mean they are elastic, you can literally feel the shaft kick Unlike the px and DG which for me feels like a quick snap. For me the Higher ball Flight was a plus factor although for sone it could be a drawback. now vs the sp blues these will be higher launching and spin more, the sp blue Are lower launch and are also higher kick, some may find this more demanding, both Are smooth but I like the flight aspects of the m3 fits my playing style. Shimada is similarTo sp blue so same comparison although the shimada plays stiffer to flex.

Today went back to fitting shop and tried the demo club with the modus 3 again. You are right, it has a punchier kick at impact, which really helps to get the ball up in the air. I love this feel which my shimada can't give me. Because of this, every shot seems to be very solid. I am sold!

Do post back some Feedback and once you've had enough time o play with them.

December 5, 201113 yr Author comment_173436 Ordered a set of miura-giken PP-9003 (5-PW) and MB-5000WB wedge in 53* and 60*(special order to miura). I chose the NS PRO Modus 3 in stiff to go with it. It was fitted by Masaru-san of Vivo golf studio in Osaka. Received my order last week and played 2 games with it so far. I am very happy with the performance even it's my first 2 games with it. The modus 3 really feels smooth and launch the ball nicely. The PP-9003 is very forgiving and easy to hit the sweet spot. Best iron set I played so far. The MB-5000WB is awesome, especially the 60*. So easy to get the ball out of the sand. Overall, the swing weight at D2 for 5-P and D3 for the wedges, gives me a very solid feel at impact. Ball just rocket off the club face!

December 6, 201113 yr Author comment_173447 enjoy your clubs, glad the shafts are to your liking. there have been mixed reviews about the modus 3 i for one am one of the ones that really enjoy the shaft. nice and smooth, strong flat trajectory. i actually gained some distance with this shaft. Ya, me too gained distance with the modus 3. Hit my 5 irons almost 190m including roll, which is the longest 5 iron I ever hit. Overall, I gained about 10m. I think distance gained due to more solid contact with the ball at impact. somehow, the Modus 3 enables me to feel the club head and generate a stronger and smoother down swing, thus impact the ball better. comparing to my previous set of MC-102 with shimada K7001, it's a world of difference.
December 15, 201113 yr comment_173850 I was looking at the passing point before as well. Even when miura says that its forgiving its rather small right? anyone know what it can be compared to say Epon and Yamaha?
December 24, 201113 yr comment_174160 After 4 rounds with the Modus3, I can report that the strike feels better than the 1150. I would say it reaches a similar apex to the 1150 but it gets there in a more piercing trajectory where as the 1150 has a tendency to balloon at the apex. A lot of people have said it plays softer to the flex but the tip is very stiff so compared to the SP blues I have soft stepped and which have a tendency to draw on the short irons... the Modus3 actually has a straighter ball flight for me... Thanks to Spoon for his feedback. Saved me from ordering an X flex... It is the best steel iron shafts I've played.

December 26, 201113 yr comment_174217 Wow 190m (208 yds ) is a pretty long shot for a 5 iron.....If u use reg flex, how far do the x flex players hit a 5 iron 220m (241) ? Edited December 26, 201113 yr by robbie
December 27, 201113 yr comment_174222 on still days , level shot , i think around 205 +- with the yamaha tours which are 2* strong. with the miura ism id say 10 yards less or if ur gary woodland, 208 up hill into the wind all carry with a lob wedge ! Edited December 27, 201113 yr by supo67

Yes , my ball was at the 200m distance marker and with the 5 irons, the ball rolled and stops on the fringed of the green. I putt close to pin and got a par for that hole.
December 28, 201113 yr comment_174264 Yes , my ball was at the 200m distance marker and with the 5 irons, the ball rolled and stops on the fringed of the green. I putt close to pin and got a par for that hole. Nice going... As said before the weather plays a big part in just how far the little White globe will fly...... I've noticed over here in the cold... Wet UK I'm down in distance yet playing in the summer I find I can use at least one club less!!
December 29, 201113 yr comment_174317 wow u guys are pretty darn long with the irons ! i can carry at most 185m on a warm day and i use 7.2 flex (rifle) currently !
March 5, 201212 yr comment_176124 Spoon, what's your ss with 6i? Also looking at modus3 vs the c-taps...potuna I noticed you chose the c-taps...mind sharing why?
