Light and heavy are the two words I would use to describe the elements that make this Nippon NS Pro 1150 GH Tour Iron Shaft a popular choice. This may sound contradictory, but let me explain.
Light: I would classify this shaft in the semi-lightweight steel shaft department. Nippon achieves this lighter weight by having adjustable wall thickness in the shaft. You see, my young apprentice, the shaft is actually thicker in the grip and in the tip but thinner in between. Brilliant!
Heavy: The feel of the club in your hands is heavier because of the extra thickness in the grip. It has a very solid feel like your "old school" tour shaft. Also as I previously mentioned, the tip of the shaft is thicker as well; this provides for more stability and responsiveness.
To conclude, a lighter shaft translates to faster swing speeds, but with the extra thickness in the butt and tip, you don't have to give up feel and stability. So now you should see what I mean when I say the shaft is light and heavy. It's the same as peanut butter and jelly, a bold decaf, and a light stout.
