One-piece soft iron forging with a simple half cavity back The X FORGED Iron is a model for professionals and advanced players, forged from a single material (S20C) and offering a pure, comfortable feel and dry sound. The back face has a simple half cavity structure. In keeping with the tendency of elite players to hit the ball in the center of the bottom of the face, the lower back face has a triangular thick section with the center at the apex, and from there the thickness changes in stages, from a slightly thicker section to a completely cavity section. It is also noteworthy that the steps created by the change in thickness are shaped like the letter X.
Looks like it's very easy to use It looks very compact when you set up, as it's aimed at professionals and advanced players. In addition, the offset from the neck to the leading edge is small, and the top blade is thin, making it look like it will be easy to control the head. Another notable feature is that the head weight has been designed to be slightly lighter to improve operability, based on feedback from the Japanese tour.
Chamfering on the front and back of the sole for a smooth swing-through feel The most important thing about the new "X FORGED Iron" is the ease of release. The narrow sole incorporates a process called tri-level sole design, with a semicircular chamfer on the leading edge and a consistent chamfer from the toe to the heel on the trailing edge. This allows for a smooth swing-through, which greatly contributes to easier ball control.
Aimed at elite players, the loft of the I#7 is 33 degrees. The clubs are 8 in number, I#3-9 and PW, with the loft of the I#7 being 33 degrees, a traditional setting for highly skilled players. The set includes 6 clubs, I#5-9 and PW, with I#3 and I#4 sold separately. Two steel shaft models are available.

A culmination of the NSPRO MODUS3 philosophy.
The trust in our manufacturing technology and quality is extremely strong on the world's top tours, and our new category of steel shafts for irons, the "MODUS" series, has contributed to victories in major overseas tournaments and the top prize money winner on the Japanese men's tour.
The TOUR115 was born on the 10th anniversary of the series. It was born as a new standard that embodies the needs of athletic golfers, as a culmination of feedback from top tour players.
The straightforward shaft characteristics,
which follow the tradition of the already popular TOUR105 and SYSTEM3 TOUR125, combine high maneuverability that enables trajectory control that meets the high-level needs of top players with straight-line performance thanks to the tour spin design.
In addition to the shaft performance achieved through our world-renowned design technology, we can freely shape the needs of athletes with shaft weight settings that match recent standards.
■ A high-level fusion of straight-line performance and handling performance
Utilizing Nippon Shaft's world-renowned versatile design and manufacturing technology, the thickness of all areas of the shaft is freely processed and optimized in micron units.
This shaft combines high-level controllability that meets the diverse needs of trajectory control with the straight-line performance of the tour spin design made possible by NSPRO's unique thickness adjustment processing technology, which is cultivated through unrivaled shaft manufacturing know-how.
Whether you want shot control or a straight trajectory, it has the ability to adapt to any need.
■ Flexible shaft characteristics that respond universally to the player's wishes
The shaft characteristics follow the player's swing without twisting, transmitting the power of the swing directly to the club head and ball, truly responding to the player's intentions in a versatile manner.
It has a wide range of compatibility with no bias towards swing types or trajectory characteristics. It can be used as the first step in selecting a "MODUS" shaft, or ultimately as the goal of shaft selection: "a shaft that follows your swing smoothly." For more delicate or specific needs, there is a wide lineup of existing products to meet them.
■ Shaft weight settings that correspond to the latest club settings
In line with the trend towards lighter drivers, even at the top tour level, the previous regular weight (125g) is a little heavy, and is set with stability as the top priority. Excessive over-specification causes swing timing to shift, leading to a decrease in accuracy of iron shots that are meant to aim at the pin.
With a weight setting of 118.5g (S flex),
which matches well with the 60-70g range shafts that are becoming the standard for driver shafts, the specifications are set to be compatible with the latest club settings.
