Would really love to bring my trajectory up and find some lighter shafts that dont kill my hands because of the vibration and shock because i have cerebral palsy. So i have stiff joints and limited flexability and dont want to make the change to graphite yet because i love the feedback steel gives.

awesome testing opportunity, I've played DG for some time but KBS offerings have always felt great to me and I would love to test the new line!! here's my info:

- City/State: Los Angeles, CA
- Zip Code: 90036
- Handicap: 11
- Current Irons: JPX-825 Pro 4-7, MP-57 8-PW
- Current Shafts: DG S300
- Driver swing speed: 105
- 6 Iron swing speed: 82
- Current Trajectory: Mid/High
- Preferred Trajectory: Low/Mid
I still like the S300 but sometimes they feel a bit harsh, I believe the KBS offerings would be a great fit for my game.

Driver SS: 112
6i: 90
Current Trajectory is rather high with my irons but I played DG X100 softstepped for 5 years and had a rather low flight. Switched to the KBS stiff hard stepped for height and smooth feel. However, I have noticed a tendency to balloon at times. I have tried the C-Tapers and they just dont have the same feel, I cannot seem to go back to to X100s after the feel of KBS but hate the ballooning especially with the weather western new york can bring. I have a degree in Professional Golf Management and am a student of the game that can assure an informative review if chosen. Either way thanks for the chance and good luck everyone! Cant wait to try these one way or another!

[color=#282828]I've pretty much always been a DG player (I had Nippon 950 for awhile; really liked them but one of the clubs broke and couldn't be replaced), I would love to try KBS and maybe experience a shaft with more feel.[/color]

The course I belong to is Little Mill Country Club in Marlton, NJ 08053
I play mp-64 x-stiff soft stepped tours
6 iron swing speed 91-93
My shot is what I would consider medium trajectory, but have ability to manipulate elevation.
Last checked my ghin was 9.7

I get to play/practice 4-5 times a week and would love to contribute!
