TESTING SIGNUP: ALL-NEW KBS PROTOTYPE


Recommended Posts

City / State? Somerset / MA
Zip Code? 02725
Handicap? 13.6 Index
Current Irons? TaylorMade RBZ 4-AW
Current shafts? TaylorMade RBZ - Stiff (See notes)
Driver swing speed? 110
6i Swing speed? 95
Current Trajectory? Mid-High
Preferred Trajectory? Mid

Any other notes you’d like provide:
1) Thank you for the opportunity KBS and GolfWRX.
2) I was fitted for new irons at Spargo Golf in Cranston RI earlier this year (that I have yet to order as I save my pennies) with the KBS Tour Chrome in Stiff, 130g. If picked, I would replace the RBZ shafts with hopefully something comparable in the new offering near 130g as I still play the RBZs. :D
3) I play in league play on Thursdays and Fridays, with a travelling tour group almost every other weekend, with RIGA invitational Stableford tourneys, and various other fill in rounds. In total, about 36-48 holes/week. They will get a good workout!

THANKS!!!

[*]Preferred Trajectory? It's been pretty much ideal with the C-Tapers. i hit down on the ball a lot and a high ballflight is to be expected but it doesn't balloon any more like it did before the C-tapers.

Been playing the game for 4 solid years now, was fortunate enough to receive these irons for Christmas. A fantastic gift as I have shot some of my best rounds with them. (Just shot 81 at Grand Cypress in Orlando!) But have been hooking them more and more lately as the shafts don't fit my swing the best. Would love to try these!!!! Thanks for the great opportunity.

Mizuno MP-59
KBS C-Taper stiff

88 6 iron swing speed
Current trajectory high
Preferred trajectory mid/low
Additional notes: Iron shots don't spin much. They hit then hop and spin back before I was used to more especially if I hit the ball as high as I do now. I love to work the ball, and I golf in college. I have a quick transition, and I love the low torque of the C-Tapers.

Any other notes you’d like provide. - the switch to PXi this year has not been a happy one. I love my kbs wedge shafts and wouldn't give them up for the world. Unfortunately C tapers and Kbs Tour have not suited me the past few years.

[*]Still hit the tour X's a little on the high side which is fine for most shots, but have trouble when trying to hit lower shots/knockdowns. Tried the c-taper's but found the feeling a little too harsh, but love the feel of the tours. would also prefer a slightly lighter shaft.
