KBS Tour X iron shaft users, what shaft do you use in your wedges?

KBS 610 S+ 125 gram would work well. I had the KBS 130X in my strong sand wedge (which matched my irons at the time) which I liked too. I personally did not like the Hi Rev which Ive also had. Personal preference though.

I had by 50 and 55 degree wedges soft-stepped with the x since I make more full swings with those but wanted the slightly softer shaft for when I took some off. I had my 60 degree installed with the standard stiff. I really dont notice the lighter shaft or wish it was heaver with the 60. I also never hit my 60 full so I did not want to go with the soft stepped x like my other 2 wedges.

S400 is tried and true. It is a fantastic wedge shaft. Keeps the weight. Make sure you specify swingweights with the KBS X... they can SW super light. Even the $Taper 130x without tip weights was at like C7 on a set of MB heads I had.. ridiculous. So much weight up high.

Yep. I had a set of Cobra CB/MB that I tried out for a round and a few range sessions and I could not hit the things. Had KBS Tour S+ in them and the SWs were so light (I think those heads may be light anyways) that I'd lose it in the swing and made horrible contact. Went back to DG and was immediately striping.

That approach makes sense. That's primarily why I was considering the S400 because it's 132 gram and a true stiff flex. I presume your irons/wedges were build up to your desired SW? So many folks comment how the counter-balanced design of the KBS Tour results in a light SW unless the proper SW is requested.

Yeah, I built them so I was able to SW how I wanted. I've never had an issue with getting the right SW and my wedges measure heavier than my irons. I play my 58* a tad longer (same length as my 54) so that makes it measure a little higher.

Honestly, S400 is really hard to beat so you I don't think you'll be disappointed if you go that route. I am happy with the KBS at the moment but I always have a couple S400 on hand just in case, lol.

@mrekalic 610 flies low with plenty of spin. For me they drop and stop and don't rip backwards. Partial shots still have a ton of spin. Pretty neat.
I had the original Hi Rev, and to me it felt very loose at the bottom, and full swings definitely launched higher which I did not like. Have not tried 2.0.

I was looking for a higher flight in my irons. I've always hit a low ball so I was looking for a little help. I played X100 straight in and soft stepped, PX 6.5 straight in and soft stepped, KBS Tour X soft stepped and now the S+. Honestly though, I'm just a tinker-er and always want to try something different. I like building projects so I just buy and try vs getting fit. KBS and X100ss have been my favorite feels, happy with the S+ at the moment but who knows what's next, lol.

In my sig block. I had 610 in GW and liked it but have recently been using my same iron shaft in GW, as I treat it as a full swing club
