The Nippon Modus Tour 110 iron shaft is designed to reduce spin without adding extra weight to your irons. With a smooth feel and noticeable kick near the grip, this shaft features stiff tip and mid sections. This article will explore the performance, feel, and looks of the Nippon Modus Tour 110, comparing it to other shafts in the Modus series.
The Nippon Modus Tour 110 maintains the classic appearance of the Modus line, with a traditional stepped stainless shaft in a shiny chrome finish. One unique feature of Nippon shafts is the absence of stickers, with screen-printed branding for a clean look. The markings are kept to one side, allowing for a logo-down installation.
The Modus 110 has a unique EI curve, with a progressively stiffer tip to mid section and a softer butt section. During testing, the bend or kick just below the grip stood out as smooth and consistent. The shaft was designed to mirror popular driver shafts, providing some softness and feel with solid performance from mid to tip.
Performance testing of the Nippon Modus Tour 110 showed a reduction in spin and an increase in ball speed compared to the Modus 115 shaft. The shaft produced a more pronounced draw with longer irons and added distance, with ball speed consistently up 1-2 MPH. Nippon recommends the Modus 110 for players seeking to reduce spin, lower their ball flight, and add distance.
The Nippon Modus Tour 110 shaft is available in regular, stiff, and X-flex options, with lengths ranging from 41″ to 37″. The uncut weight varies by flex, with 105 grams for regular, 110 grams for stiff, and 115 grams for X-flex. The shafts are set to appear in fitting bays in April, providing players with a new option for optimizing their iron performance.
Whether you are a longtime Modus player or new to the brand, the Nippon Modus Tour 110 offers a compelling option for players looking to reduce spin and weight in their irons. With its unique design and performance characteristics, this shaft could be a game-changer for players seeking to improve their ball flight and distance.
