KBS Tour V Wedge shaft vs KBS 610


Merlin_13

Recommended Posts

Hey Y'all- I'm currently gaming the KBS Tour V Wedge shafts in my MD3 50*/54*/58*. I can flight them down, but the normal flight is a little high for my liking (though I've become accustomed to it). I've been told that the 610 is "the big brother" of the Tour V wedge and the regular flight is lower and more piercing while providing more spin and control. Anyone out there played both or either have and ideas/thoughts/info? Any input/help is greatly appreciated

I had the tour v in a 50 vokey and 610 in a 56 vokey...I personally couldn't tell a difference.

 

best success ive found for lowering flight and increasing spin has been using an 8 iron shaft of a stiffer flex and trimming to length

I have a set of KBS Tour V stiff shafts in another set of irons. Don't have the specific Tour V wedge shaft but regular Tour V PW shaft in SW. No doubt there's a difference in our swings. I have KBS 610 in stiff in another SW and its a tad higher than Tour V stiff in SW, and I spin the ball a lot. KBS Tour V shafts have reduced spin compared to other KBS shafts including Tour and Tour V. I also have the following; KBS Tour in Stiff and Regular, C-Taper in Stiff and C-Taper lite in Stiff.

I have a relatively shallow/flat swing and with the winds around here, it's better to keep it lower-thanks

During some summer months, Santa Ana winds can get crazy 3-4 club strong in our area. Keeping it low is important. I found shafts typically didn't solve that problem. My answer was to adjust my swing mechanics to keep the ball low. My current shafts do provide a mid-boring trajectory but mechanics improve on that. Good luck.
