Today, Hiro Fukuda from Nippon Shaft joins the show and they discuss the commitment to quality from Nippon.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and Hiro breakdown Nippon’s iron shafts and pairing their Modus3 line of steel with Regio graphite. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss as Nippon goes Off Course.

That means it’s Regio Formula B+ time!

I have a saved search on eBay in case one comes up for sale.
Hell no. Spent enough money. Sticking with these
My first question on THP was about the 1050gh vs the modus.
Was real close to giving the modus 105 a shot in my srixon order, fell back to familiarity right at the end. If this pod was a week earlier I would have been swayed.
I have played a few different Nippon shafts in my day. Have not really found one that I thought was the best fit but they have always had really good feel.
A lot of fitters in my area love their shafts. I was fitted into the 105 with Apexs 21s
In terms of raw materials, their quality standards assure they get consistent material every single time. The variance and tolerance window with them is incredibly small. I can’t speak to every OEM but there are companies that buy the same quality of steel for the same application and don’t have nearly the same standards
I didn’t leave well enough alone and decided to try to Mizuno Shaft Optimer. It recommended the DG105 as the best fit and the Modus 105 was 4th. I tried it in a set of irons and didn’t like them nearly as much as the Modus 105s. That’s going to be my stock shaft from here until I age out into something else.
I enjoyed the conversation about the Regio line. I wish Nippon would make a bigger push into this space in the US. Right now they are hard to test/purchase.
I don’t know anything about your swing, but the MB+ would be a great starting point if you’re playing the 105. I have both here at home. The MB+ is fantastic feeling shaft.
The hard part was finding a place to buy them. Other than Tour Spec Golf and eBay, there wasn’t a lot out there….
I love the driver shaft I was just fit for, but wish it would have been an option.
