KBS C-Taper 130x Alternatives?

[steveisdope]

Long time lurker, hoping to get some feedback. I've been gaming the c taper 130x's in my T100s for a few seasons and absolutely love them. Great feel, distance, and significantly more control after years of x100 play. 

 

However, the C taper delays are outrageous. My T100s need replacement and there's no clear restock info for C tapers with KBS saying "2023". (I waited 15 months for a 50 degree vokey fitted with one last year)

 

What is a solid set of potential alternative shafts to incorporate into my upcoming fitting? My fitter is great, but i want to make sure he has stock before i show up and he's out of potential alternatives. Specifically looking for low spinning, low flight shafts.

I am not a shaft expert but i would presume anything close to rebar. Maybe PX 7.0?

Px 7.0

DG x7

Nippon modus tour 130

I dont know if another KBS shaft will have the same supply issues but I've been playing the tour v 130 x for about a year now and its great. It was between that and x7 for me and I preferred the marginal more spin from the tour v than the x7 when I tested to keep some workability. 

 

Nippon tour 130 for me launched higher and spun more than even a px 6.5. Had good numbers with px 7.0 but didnt really like the feel.

PX LS 7.0 would be the closest thing I believe.

This.  Also, the PX 6.5 LS is also good alternative to the C-taper 130X

I moved from c-taper 130’s last year due to tip bending issues.. experienced it to a much more severe degree with PX LS 7.0’s. TT did warranty the shafts but I would steer you in a different direction

DG X7 has been head and shoulders above PX 7.0, PX 6.5LS, C-Taper 130x for me. Great feel, but tons of control
