    Nippon 950 or KBS Tour?

    Any input is appreciated...

    I have hit both shafts in the new Mizuno 850 Forged.
    I use regular flex shafts.
    I have a good smooth tempo.
    Driver swing speed is high 90s.

    On the GT sims the Nippon seems to hit it higher but the distance for the 2 shafts is very similar.

    I never trust distance on GT sims nor do I trust the flight really because they often say I hit a draw and I never do, I play a very straight ball or slight fade.

    I like the idea of a lighter shaft and higher flight but is there a risk of ballooning shots?
    I normally play a mid flight, definitely not a high ball flight.

    I missed the Mizuno fitting night.

    Any advice?

    I use kbs shafts in sldr irons and love them. Ball flight is medium trajectory for me but the shaft feels smooth even on 3/4 swings

    My 2 favourite shafts. Currently playing kbs tours. Felt similar to me, both have great feel.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    Jeff, I meant to ask about KBS tour 90 and Nippon 950 as they are both lightweight shafts.
    I assume you don't mean the KBS tour and nippon felt the same as they are completely different shafts.
