Soft Stepping wedge shaft???


tftimm

Recommended Posts

I'm going to replace my SM7 wedges with T20's. I was fitted and play KBS C-Taper lite regulars in my MP-18 SC/HiFli's. I play KBS Tour stiff in my wedges. I have always liked KBS much better in my wedges than any DG or other mfg.

Question. Should I soft step the KBS Tour S shafts? I like the weight of the stiff and don't want the wedges to get a "light" feel. Should I consider the same and maybe KBS C-Taper stiff shafts?

Fitter who fit me for my wedge gaps told me the shafts on wedges aren't that big of a deal. It's more about what feels comfortable. For what its worth, I have very little lag and swing about 80% with my wedges. My experience has been I can control the flight much better with KBS Tour shafts than with any DG or wedge shaft. I don't have experience with C-Tapers in my wedges, but love the C-Taper Lite in my irons.

Thoughts? I play to a 5 handicap.

Not sure about those specific shafts, however I recently "Tiger Stepped" my gap wedge, and it's an experiment I'm not sure I'm going to stick with.

Specifically, I play PX 6.0 in my irons, and put in a PX 6.5 8-iron shaft in my gap wedge (PXG was out of PX 6.0 and I'd always wanted to try it - so gave it a shot). The thing goes SUPER high, has CRAZY spin, and will NOT CUT NO MATTER WHAT I DO.

Not sure if this is helpful at all, but I feel a little better having gotten it out.

Gonna stay with KBS Tour stiff in my wedges. I had always play stiff in my irons till I got fitted for KBS C-Taper Lite in my irons. I love the iron feel and I like the KBS Tour feel in my SM7's. Most say go "softer" in your wedges, but I like the weight and the feel of the stiff. I don't want to over think things...

Thanks for the feedback.
