Nippon delivers golfers more options with the Modus 3 line. Players, regardless of skill level and style, can find their ideal fit in both weight and flex within the Modus 3 tier system. Nippon brings a smooth feeling iron shaft that withstands the torque of even the most aggressive swingers. This coupling of response and performance is something that every golfer should be testing in their favorite or next iron sets. Do not leave out the Modus 3 for your wedge shaft consideration. Many players can benefit from optimizing their wedge game to shoot lower scores immediately.

N.S. Modus 3 Shaft Detailed Review
Design and Technology
The Modus 3 was designed using specific requests from PGA Tour professionals. The entire Modus 3 series has been built to give players more options in weight, flex, and launch and spin profiles. Each line in the series of shafts is optimized to deliver golfers with exceptional trajectory, distance, and directional control. Made from the highest quality steel material, the Modus 3 shaft is built to withstand any style of swing and gives golfers powerful, repeatable iron and wedge shots.
Modus 3 is a shaft that I have contemplated switching into many times. Each time I test iron shafts I enjoy the feel of the Modus 3 more and more. The ability of Nippon to deliver an optimized launch window within each weight range of shaft is something that I believe can benefit most golfers when they are properly fit. If I ever were to change out of my trusted Project X iron shafts it would be for the weight matched N.S. Pro Modus 3.
Modus 3 is an excellent feeling golf shaft made for golfers with various types of swing styles and speeds. Nippon is unrivaled in its ability to deliver precision cut and matched shaft through the entire set giving golfer confidence that each club in their bag will be properly built and consistent. The Modus 3 is a must try for any golfer looking to improve their iron play without being overwhelmed by a rigid feeling iron shaft. The Modus 3 shaft also makes an outstanding option for players in their wedges as it is one of very few shafts available in 130-grams at a stiff flex. This combination can be perfect for players looking to get more control in their short games.
