KBS just gave our team the heads up they have a new performance shaft design coming to market SOON and they are looking for a small batch of GolfWRX members to [b]TEST & REVIEW[/b] the shafts out in the public forum! KBS also mentioned they would help the selected members get their new shafts built up for [b]FREE![/b]

We’ll select the testers next week on 5/28 so make sure to post your information using this thread for a chance to be one of the lucky few…

Here are the details we’ve been given thus far:[list]
[*]LUCKY TESTERS
[*]SETS SHIP NEXT WEEK
[*]KBS WILL HELP TESTERS GET THEIR [i]NEW[/i] SHAFTS BUILT FOR FREE
[*]KBS rep’s mentioned the new performance shaft is a lighter weight construction capable of producing a 5% increase in distance over competitor models. However, that’s all they are saying at this point!

I always wanted to try KBS shafts, so this would be an awesome opportunity. I practice about every day so I would be able to give tons of feedback and results. Thanks again to GolfWRX and KBS for this opportunity. Good luck to everyone.

Any other notes you’d like provide. Prior to this set I played a set of Mizuno Mp63 with KBS tour 90 and found the trajectory to be too high. I switched to the tM with s300 that were frequency matched and spined which I absolutely love! However, I had a chance to play the same irons with the KBS C tapers and I really liked the trajectory but didn't particularly like the feel. Here's hoping the new shaft is improved in that category.

And thank you for the opportunity!

Current Trajectory - Mid irons and mid driver
Preffered Trajectory - Mid to high with irons and driver


I tend to spin the ball a ton with my irons. I had KBS Tours and upgraded to C-Tapers for the longest time to cut down on the spin but even with them when I was swinging well I can back a 7 iron up and finally decided they were just a bit to heavy and stout for me and went to try something different with the Nippon shafts. I am looking for an iron shaft thats lighter then the 120+ gram C-Tapers, but also a shaft that will allow me to launch the ball mid-high without spinning it out of control.

Notes: I'd be happy to give a review as a high handicapper. I play once a week, sometimes twice. The only shafts I've played are my current Apex 4's and before that, whatever came stock in my TaylorMade RAC OS irons; the shaft bands read '95 grams Light Metal'. They were regular flex, flighted.

Best of luck!
