gocchin Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Great news is that KBS Tour shafts are now available with all Epon irons. They've been officially added as options in the pro shop. There is a bit of an upcharge on them as they are not as readily available yet as other brands in Japan. Bottom line is that they are available to be built to the customer specs right from the Epon factory. Shaft offerings for Epon irons are now as follows: Shimada K's - AC-10, 3001, 7001 Nippon NS Pro - 750GH, 850GH, 950GH, 1050GH, 1150GH Tour Dynamic Gold - S200, S400, X100 Black Gold KBS Tour NGS Mach Line Graphite Mamiya Axiv Graphite Graphite Design Tour AD Graphite Bassara Graphite Diamana Graphite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hey T, Any chance of getting the KBS wedge shafts in their new black nickel finish in the Epon wedges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I will double check but at the moment I don't see those wedge shafts in Japan yet. The Japanese KBS site is only listing the KBS Tour under products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Any Fujikura iron shaft options available? How about Tour AD Pro's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yup Fujikura is available I'll add them in. The Tour AD Pros are too but they are very costly. Also the black KB shafts are also available now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBone Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Has anyone had the opportunity to demo the Diamana Thump iron shaft yet? Curious to hear some reviews/feedback? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnims29 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 The Graphite Design AD Pros are almost as much as their driver shafts per iron. Very price IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 The Graphite Design AD Pros are almost as much as their driver shafts per iron. Very price IMO The AD Pros at JPY15,000 per shaft is practically a steal compared to the Tour AD 105,115 iron shaft at JPY30,000 each.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I was able to try the KB tour shaft on multiple occasions but I have not hit nor seen the black version. Anyone here know the difference or test it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm 99% sure the only difference is the color\finish. Very similar to the smoked DG S400 shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the black wedge shafts. I swear they feel smoother. I have inquired about the black shafts for the other irons however was told that they are released in November and there are limited numbers available. They were about $15 more each than the normal KBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Black KB Tours sure would look purdy with a set of custom black AF301's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Black KB Tours sure would look purdy with a set of custom black AF301's Better yet, Black KB Tours on the new/hopefully soon to be released Epon Blades in black as well. Chris, any latest news you can release to us about when they are to become available? I'm dying here waiting for their release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 At $15 + over the normal KBS Tour price....that will be one expensive steel shaft! Probably good to produce limited #'s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 i have two black nickel kbs wedge shafts as well as the normal kbs tour stiffs and the black wedge shafts feels softer and more flexible. i can't say it's any better performing but it does look really nice. i paired it with a new z cutter wedge unfortunately i've decided to bench that wedge and try something else, maybe an epon wedge..

Spoon Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 i will be reshafting my epon wedges tomorrow with the kb tour smoked wedges . replacing my Px hi launch and will see what all the fuss is about. hopefully it will be a positive change. Bladerx, i heard the aftours will only be released in standard finish. no custom finish like copper or black for this model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry guy's I will work on them until they offer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Is the Peening Series from Nippon available as a shaft upgrade through EPON? Thinking of giving the blue a trial, anyone match up something from the Peening line with any of the Epon heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
