Product background
The popularity of limited edition, black-finished irons have increased over the years. This has led to increased popularity of black-finished irons shafts.
Traditional approaches such as painted finishes often lacked the durability needed to maintain a high-quality appearance over time. To address this challenge, Nippon Shaft developed LUXURY BLACK®, a proprietary black plating technology that delivers refined aesthetics with enhanced durability.
After establishing a proven track record through select, premium projects with club manufacturers, we have expanded our production capabilities, making LUXURY BLACK® available to a wider range of golfers.
Plating Technology to Reduce Environmental Impact
As a leading golf shaft manufacturer, Nippon Shaft recognizes environmental responsibility as a core part of its mission.
LUXURY BLACK® employs the same advanced plating technology used in LUXURY SILVER®, originally developed for N.S.PRO putter shafts. This process significantly reduces environmental impact during manufacturing while maintaining exceptional quality and performance.
As a global shaft manufacturer, this initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainable product development.
