ill be honest, I don't get it. Not sure why you need graphite over steel. The changes are SO minimal, no golfer can notice nor will u see this help in any result IMO

It has to be a feel thing. That is the only thing that makes sense to me. Otherwise it a gimmick. That being said, I want to try it. haha.

I love the Modus 105 and I obsess about consistency in shaft feel through the bag. I really hope this makes it into a few OEMs as no upcharge options.

Really excited to see how these perform

Wonder if the graphite overlay reduces oscillation and vibration and improves feel?

any one "in the know" about whether these in .355 taper tip constant weight are in nippons plans? interested if they're gunning for aerotech steel fiber or ust recoil in the future with iron shafts.

id love to move to a lighter graphite shaft in my irons that doesn't fly all over the place but i am struggling to understand this concept. I need Dechambeau here to enlighten me

I'm really hoping to try these, love the idea and the weight looks good too.

Wow these are $250

Looks like a stiffer butt Nippon 105 and stiffer overall

Found this on Jp site

From elsewhere on the WWW;

“The idea here is to combine the best of both worlds, the dampening, longer distance, and flexibility of carbon fiber, with the stability and precision of steel. What could be more perfect for hybrids, clubs where people often wish they had a design that could bridge from their steel iron shafts into their composite shafted woods.”

Am I reading this correctly? $250/shaft, or is this a set of 7 or 8?

Yeah, I knew these would be pretty pricey. I’d love to try them and see what the difference would be, if any..

$250 MAP pricing, I wonder if the actual price you can get them for will be less. Hope so.

Anybody remember these shafts from Wilson?

Top half graphite bottom half steel?

That is per shaft

Look cool! I wonder how they would perform

I sure do. My first "real" set of irons were the Di7 but the shafts were all steel. Am I the only one that prefers the look of ion plating over the flat finish on these new Nippons?

I’d like to try one in a Mizuno MP-20 HMB.

This thing is a shaft ho's dream. Coming to a 3-utility near me in 2020!

This is the real deal. Used it for the last half of the year. Best hybrid shaft I've ever hit. Period.

God Bless

Not sure how well the release is going, I don't see these for sale anywhere. Maybe I'm just not finding them.

It’s a hybrid shaft and not an iron shaft/set. $250 is $30 over what GD charges for the AD DI hybrid

I was just going to post if anyone has seen them for sale at any of the online retailers yet.

So, feel and spin of steel with weight of graphite but higher launch than steel?

That crappy auction site has a listing from Japan. Shipped to the United States for $239, raw shaft.

Well that's not great, I'm not paying that for a hybrid shaft. Maybe US sellers will be less.

Yeah, I'm hoping for the non-auction channels to be cheaper.
