Nippon touts it as the world's lightest steel shaft, starting from 73.5 grams and up,

It utilizes a new steel called NZNS60 which is stronger than the typical steel used in other steel shafts meaning they can make it thinner and ligher.

The tout the Zelos as Carbon like feel and distance but steel control and dispersion.

Designed for an easy launch and more carry for those who want to play light weight steel but need more distance without sacrificing control.

T, when is the release date? Cheers.

i assume this is an iron shaft? what is the difference between this and the wraptech nspro 750gh?

thanks

Lighter than wraptech by 5-6 grams.

Cheaper than the wraptech cause no need for carbon reinforcing.

Stronger than wraptech due to new type of steel thus even thinner walls than wraptech resulting in more feel, more distance.

So its a high trajectory shaft, are they releasing a lower flight version, by that I mean penetrating.

I wonder why people would go graphite when there are steel shafts this light? I mean how light do you really want to go in irons? Plus, why dole out so much extra to get lightweight graphite shafts when there are steel shafts this light? maybe it's a feel issue

Well for me, the NS Pro 750 had a rather high trajectory and the dispersion is not the best. The Quadra 752 and 652 for me have a lower flight and dispersion is much tighter. The bad part as you have highlighted, they cost a lot more.

Even in the heavier ranks, graphite is better at absorbing vibration and reduces strain on the joints.

That's very interesting shaft, with the lighter weight and longer distance this shaft will definitely bringing steel shaft to the next level.

Too light for me.

Me also, had the 750 wrap tech; ridiculously high flight.

Maybe I'm the only one in this forum to use this shaft. I prefer Zelos over 750. Yes, the ball flight is high (but lower than that of 750 according to my swing), especially comparing to Recoil Prototype 95 I used to use. It's about the same or tad higher than Recoil 600 series, but the dispersion is noticeably better. Hitting side by side between this Zelos and Recoil 660, same head (I got 2 heads of 7i Yammie Tour), Zelos is straighter.

After a month I begin to love this shaft but just found 2nd handed MCI in good price, so change to the MCI and still keep the Zelos. In short, for those who play shaft at this light weight, Zelos is a very good choice and its price is good too.
