KBS Tour Hybrid Prototype Flex

jurgie54 · March 20, 2018

I was recently fit into a Callaway Rogue 3-hybrid with a KBS Tour Hybrid Prototype 85 S+. Callaway does offer the KBS Tour Hybrid as a $100 upgrade shaft but only in R, S, and X flex. I'm seeing my options as either:

Buy a similar no-upcharge shaft in the 85 g range. KBS lists the Tour Hybrid as a mid launch/mid spin shaft, so probably a EvenFlow Blue X. Then I can just purchase an aftermarket KBS Tour Hybrid S+ (or just stick with the EF Blue if performance is good).
Buy the KBS Tour Hybrid 85 X directly from Callaway.

For anyone that has hit the KBS 85 g version, how much of a difference is there between the S+ and X? I do currently play an X in my driver and 3-wood so I think I can manage with the hybrid. How different are the Tour Hybrid and EvenFlow Blue?

Why don’t you ask them if they can get an S+

I've contacted Callaway in the past about different flexes than they have available for certain shafts and I've only ever got the canned "Thanks for your feedback, we'll direct it to the appropriate department" response and never hear anything else. That's why I was hoping someone would have insight into the S+ vs. X or Tour Hybrid vs. EvenFlow Blue.
