KBS C-Taper Lite in Wedges?

[Blakester]

Has anyone tried the KBS C-Taper Lite in a wedge? I did the Shaft Optimizer over a year ago and it recommended DG XP S300, PXi 6.0, and KBS Tour S. I have played all of these and not crazy about any of them - XP is too high, PXi feels harsh, and KBS is counter-balanced. I'm thinking of trying some C-Taper Lites and also wondering how they may work in wedges. I have a TaylorMade TP with KBS Tour-V Wedge and really like it. Very accurate, although it feels a bit stout. Was thinking of going C-Taper Lite or all Tour-V in wedges.

Unless you're struggling with shaft weight and need SS help, I would be against any 'lite' shaft in SW or LW. Lite shafts can be problematic in the sand, and more than likely will need lots of help getting swing weigh right. I am not the best example, as my 2 wedges are E0 and standard weight. I am surprised, PXi felt harsh.

Why does KBS balance bother you?

I don't know why KBS bothers me? I played them for most of this season in some Mizuno MP-59s. Did ok and shot some good scores with them. I came from playing DG S300s for years and felt like I couldn't feel the clubhead at times. I hit the PXi 6.0s at the range in some AP2 712s. Maybe I was just swinging badly, but I didn't care for the way they felt. I actually like the feel of the DG XPs, but they are shorter than my regular DG S300s.

My release was like a 9 on the shaft optimizer so it recommended higher launching shafts.
