I think that is a SOLID move buddy. Smoooooooooth.

I mean, after watching the video, the guy really has me intrigued. I made the switch yesterday anyway, so I think its an OMEN that this thread appears today

It would appear so then, I really don't think you'll be disappointed honestly.

Thanks for the video J.B. and thanks Kim for explaining a few things for us. I am going to have to give these a run as well.

KBS is on my radar for my next set... if they fit me.

I`ve really enjoyed the KBS tour feel but just removed 2 shafts from my Ping Tour S wedges and they were both slightly bent at the tip.I`ve switched back to a reinforced tip shaft.Lost a bit of confidence in the strength of the tip design of the Tours.

Wow I missed this one. Great interview. I love hearing about different shafts and these are great ones. Thanks for the coverage THP!

I took their fitting questionnaire and they suggested a stiff shaft. My average swing speed with my irons is about 85-92. I was thinking that with that speed I would need a regular flex. Anyone have these shafts with a similar swing speed?

Gianna, if it helps, I did the Mizuno Optimizer thing yesterday and it recommended Stiff for the KBS Tours as one of the three options (6i SS = 85)

really informative video JB. Liked this one a lot. They do feel really smooth.

NateE · Feb 15, 2012

great video. Very informative. I have a KBS shaft on my Ping 52 degree wedge and I love the feel it gives. Might have to check these shafts out for when I upgrade my irons.

JK · Feb 15, 2012

Here's a nice chart based on 6i SS from the KBS website for guidance is you can't actually hit them all to confirm what's right for you, Gianna

Gianna, if that's a 6-iron swing speed, you should do fine with KBS Tour shafts in stiff flex. My 6-iron SS is around 85-87 mph, and I've had these shafts in my last 2 sets of irons.

Thanks man. Thinking about these a lot. Especially if I pull the trigger on the 588's

I just did the shaft fit on the website again, and it fit me to the KBS tour in stiff + as the first choice, and KBS c-tapers in stiff as the second choice. I know that I don't want to play the c-tapers but I am thinking hard aboot the tours.

That was my recommendation as well. I do believe that I'd like to try out the Tour Stiff first though. Better yet, just get fit.

CB, have you hit clubs with the Tours in them? I would think that you could easily find some clubs up there with those, maybe your club even has a fitting cart. The S+ may be harder to find as would the C-Tapers. With you now hitting the ball higher, the Tours may be a good fit, with the C-Tapers a backup if you balloon the ball too much with the Tours.

I have hit the tours and but just in a sim, not outside. I'm going to be doing a fitting at the Callaway performance center in Vancouver in the near future so it will all be decided then.

Smallville · Feb 15, 2012

It tells me to use the KBS Tour 90 Regular. No second choice.

Hawk · Feb 15, 2012

Breeze - my experience with the Tours has been that they launch high, but don't spin too much. I like them, though I do believe I'd like a little stiffer version.

JB · Feb 15, 2012

After todays practice session, I can say there will be only one brand of shaft I consider for the MC and that is KBS.

Tell us more! You're liking the Tours in the Nike irons quite a bit I take it?

I still love the Tour 90s, but KBS has a certain feel that no other steel shaft I have tested has. Its a tremendous feeling and one I dont want to be without.
