I'll admit it, when a buddy handed me a Feruga NPS shaft, I had to Google the brand. Korean? Never heard of them. But after months of testing this unknown shaft from South Korea has completely blown my mind. The thing is that we've all been conditioned to believe that if it's not Fujikura, Mitsubishi, or Graphite Design, it's probably not worth our time. Well, I'm here to tell you that thinking might be costing money and extra strokes.
When I read about Feruga’s Triple Torque Technology, my initial reaction was, "great, another marketing acronym." But this is what actually happens; they wrap the shaft core with three distinct layers of carbon fiber at specific 45-degree angles, specifically reinforcing the tip and butt sections. I know this sounds like every other shaft company's pitch, but the shaft doesn't twist as much through impact, and you can actually feel it. That sensation when you catch one slightly toward the toe and it still goes straight? That's what we're talking about here.
What really sold me was taking it out on my home course, a tight tree-lined track where missing left means reloading. For three straight rounds, I aimed down the left-center of every fairway, knowing that dreaded snap hook wasn't coming. The last time I felt this confident off the tee was 20 years ago.

Every golf company talks about "craftsmanship," but Feruga takes it to an almost obsessive level. Each shaft is built from start to finish by a single technician, not a team, not an assembly line, but one person. Any shaft that doesn't meet their specifications gets recycled. No B-stock, no seconds, nothing.
There's something different about knowing one person's reputation is on every shaft they build. It reminds me of the Japanese sword-making philosophy, where the craftsman's honor is tied to their work.
The Low Resin Content approach is another area where you can feel the difference. Most shafts use about 35-40% resin to bind the carbon fiber. Feruga keeps it under 30%. The result? The shaft feels more "alive" at impact without being harsh. It's like the difference between a forged iron and a cast one, you just know when you've hit it pure.
What blew my mind is that Feruga hand-sanded each shaft twice during the painting process. That's better than any $500 shafts I've seen.
Let me be crystal clear about something: This shaft should help slicers get more distance even if they slice. But if you're like me and spent the better part of last season trying to stop the ball from going left, the Feruga NPS might be the best $325 you'll ever spend.
The combination of the mid/high kick point and that Triple Torque Technology creates what I can only describe as a "hold-off" feeling through impact. You know that move where you try to keep the face from closing too quickly? This shaft does half that work for you. It's not that you can't hit a draw, I can still move it right-to-left when needed, but the shaft's natural tendency is to stay square or slightly open. I can swing freely knowing the shaft won’t overcook the draw, that confidence is something you can't put a price on.
At $325 for the standard NPS model, Feruga is essentially giving away technology that should cost $400 or more. I've been in this game long enough to know that true innovation rarely comes cheap.
What you're really paying for is the handcrafted attention to detail and their zero-defect policy. Think about it, how many times have you bought a shaft that measured differently than advertised? Or had inconsistent performance between two supposedly identical models?
Ferugas' overall value increases when you consider their fitting matrix. Six different flex options mean you're getting a truly customized setup, without paying tour van prices.
Most reviews focus on distance and accuracy, but let's talk about something just as crucial, how this thing feels. The Feruga NPS has what I call "controlled energy." What you get is incredible feedback. You know exactly where you hit it on the face, how much you loaded the shaft, and what the ball is going to do before you even look up.
The shaft has a unique loading pattern. It feels even softer in the backswing (that Multi Taper Technology at work), but then it firms up notably from shift through impact. It's almost like the shaft knows when you need compliance versus stability.

The Feruga NPS is the best shaft you've never heard of, period. If you're a mid-to-low handicapper who fights the left side of the course and values consistency over chasing an extra three yards, this should be at the top of your list. Is it perfect? No. The lack of tour validation will bother some, and dropping $325 on an unknown brand requires a leap of faith.
But this is what I know: my fairways hit percentage is up over my last ten rounds, and my big misses have gone down. For a golfer who's been chasing consistency for twenty years, that's worth way more than $325. The Feruga NPS isn't just a good shaft from Korea; it's a legitimately an elite product that happens to cost less than it should.
