Is anyone able to clarify which length shaft Mizuno use as part of a custom fit build?
Shaft in question is either the Nippon NS Pro 950GH or the Nippon NS Pro 950GH NEO
Standard length & lie
Nippon list the shafts as being available in #1 - W (39.5” - 35” raw lengths)
If you look at the finished club lengths for JPX 921 Forged for example, PW = 35.5, so potentially Mizuno could fit a 35” shaft, with the remaining head depth after the hosel depth equating to the extra 0.5” to achieve a 35.5” finished length…albeit that might be cutting it close.
I am having a new custom set built and want to compare that to a very old set of TM’s which I had built with NS Pro 950GH, which had 9-SW built with a 36.0 raw length then cut to length….8 iron was then using a 36.5” raw shaft etc. Based on the Nippon specs, that would indicate they were soft stepped once compared to what Nippon advertise….but I just want to understand what Mizuno do in order to compare if I will end up with the same flex relatively speaking.
See table from t’internet which I found which also helps….any insights greatly appreciated.
