Identifying iron shafts - Nike VR Pro Blades

trojans10 · May 1

I've been going crazy for a long time now trying to identify the shaft on my irons - I love them and have another set of my blades I'd like to put these same shafts on. I recently stripped the grips from a few of my shafts in hopes there was a code - no luck. I recently bought a set of pings that are DG s300 120 - but they swing like a crow bar and I'm unable to load the club head or get that feeling.

I posted a few pictures here in hopes someone can help - they honestly look like s300's - when I match them up in the stores - they look close but the taper count is still off.

Any ideas? The red grip are my Nikes (unknown shaft) the other is an DG s300 120 (notice how the butt is bigger than my Nikes)

Overall, my shaft feels lighter - easier to load the club head, i feel it - less effort to swing.

Update: There are 7 steps

First two steps: 2inches

3-5: 2.5in

6: 2.8in

I know Nike did build the Vapor series with TT DG Pro. So maybe it could be the same with this?

I just checked those specs - they don't match up.

This is a mystery!

bumping this. does anyone have a chart displaying iron shafts and there step patterns? I'm working hard over here 🙂 Any other advice?

So cut off a grip and find out. It's that easy.

Thanks - as mentioned I've already cut off a couple. Nothing.

Nothing on them. Likely reshafted at some point with a cheaper offshore shaft.

How long is each step, and how many are they?

I'm seeing 7 steps:

First is 8in

then two steps: 2inches

3-5: 2.5'ish inches

6: 2.8in

I dont have any step patters that looks like that. Those steps is longer than most others, but i dont know what they are.

They have definitely been reshafted as those aren’t the original ferrules. You may have to pull all the grips and possibly one of the shafts to weigh it. This would help in your investigation process.
