Just bought a set of used TM RocketBladez Tour irons, 4-PW. They have KBS Tour 90 stiff shafts. I know the irons/shafts are a few years old and I'm wondering if the stiff flex shafts may have weakened to be closer to regular flex, or not.

Thanks for your inputs.
 
THe durability tests I have seen would say no.
 
I would say that unless there is a defect or the actual metal of the shaft is weakening (I've seen many shafts rusting away), the shafts maintain performance and strength for a long, long time.

Thanks JB & tpluff. Well, we'll see how it goes tomorrow at the range with these irons. Haven't swung a stiff steel shaft in a very long time. :confused2::confused2:
