[*]Any other notes you’d like provide--I have been on the lookout for a lighter iron shaft to help with minor distance/SS gains in my irons, but all of the lighter weight iron shafts that I have tried seem to hit the ball way too high. Thus far I have been using 120g iron shafts in order to provide myself optimum trajectory but I feel that they are too heavy. I would love to find the best of both worlds; a lighter weight (>120g) iron shaft that is MID to LOW launching. Hopefully this new KBS shaft will possess some of those characteristics.

[*]Any other notes you’d like provide: At the moment I'm stationed in Rio de Janeiro for the foreseeable future. Enjoying golf is very hard in Rio and I mainly play the local Par 3 course and the longest club I get to use is i7 on a 180-yard hole. Therefore new shafts for my irons would give me the needed boost to make it through the local fall to July, when I will get to play proper golf during my summer holiday.

I've been looking for shafts that are a bit smoother than the x100 yet still stable with tight dispersion.

Handicap current is 15 after being an 11 6 months ago and changing swing
Would prefer something heavier than the burner stock shaft because I tend to get a little quick with my tempo and want to feel the club in my swing more.
