Teased for a while, the G.O.S.T is real, and it is here.
In what could be one of the coolest innovations for hybrid shafts in some time, Nippon is bringing a LITERAL hybrid to market with its G.O.S.T. shaft.
What does it stand for? Graphite On Steel Technology. Quite literally, graphite has been combined to create what Nippon is calling the launch of carbon with the accuracy of steel. Bold claims, and a bold looking shaft as well.
I have received two of these in for full THP review. One in S-flex and the other in X-flex. I'm not 100% certain which clubs they will be installed into, but when I know (this weekend) you will know as well.
What follows is the release information from Nippon:
We are proud to announce the October 25 global release of our N.S.PRO MODUS³ Hybrid Graphite On Steel Technology, or simply N.S.PRO MODUS³ Hybrid.
The MODUS³ Hybrid is the ideal integration of steel and carbon materials, creating the combined solid feel and tighter dispersion of steel with the easy launch and trajectory of carbon. As a comprehensive shaft manufacturer with extensive knowledge of both steel and carbon materials, Nippon Shaft has developed a new hybrid shaft that meets the needs to control flight and dispersion.
The key was our composite shaft manufacturing experience with the use of a patented special adhesive technology. The thin-walled steel and multi-layered carbon structure provides both ideal weight and flexibility, for a solid impact feeling, directional stability (merits of steel), with the unwanted vibration dampening and longer distance performance merits of graphite shafts. The composite structure of steel and carbon is the best answer for hybrid shafts, connecting metals and irons in both function and feel.
The bend profile for the MODUS³ Hybrid is based off the tour-validated N.S.PRO MODUS³ Tour 105 and designed to promote an easy launch, mid peak trajectory and spin.
Nippon Shaft has again created another game-changer with the N.S.PRO MODUS³ Hybrid Graphite On Steel Technology.
