1. City, State? Minneapolis, Minnesota
2. Handicap? Currently 14.4, always between 12-15
3. Current irons and shafts? Apex 21 with Nippon Pro Modus 120S
4. What flex KBS Tour Lite do you want to test? S and/or X

5. Why do you want to be a KBS Tour Lite shaft tester? Curious to see how the lighter weight shaft compares to my 120s, and I currently game a mid-spin/mid-trajectory shaft, very curious to see the difference from a shaft that claims to be higher-spin/trajectory, and what that does to dispersion/distance. Also interested in comparing the feel of the KBS Lites with my current Nippons, have not found a KBS shaft that felt as good as a Nippon, but the bend profile and description of these shafts makes me think they could compete. 

6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Yes!

5. Why do you want to be a KBS Tour Lite shaft tester?  My swing has slowed slightly and I'm not sold on the stiff flex C-Taper Lite's I was fitter for a couple years ago.  I'm searching for my new shaft and have several others I've tried that I can compare these to.  These are on my list to try so this is a perfect opportunity

3. Current irons and shafts? P770 with TT DG 105
4. What flex KBS Tour Lite do you want to test? Stiff

5. Why do you want to be a KBS Tour Lite shaft tester? I was very interested in them when I was fitted 6 months ago, but they were unavailable at the time to even try during the fitting. I would like to see if they can beat the TT DG's for me in distance, dispersion, and/or feel. Also a little more height in the long irons would be nice.
