Mjr. D Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Selling a set of Pings and Callaway and purchasing a set of Miura blades. Which shaft do you think would be best for A) A low piercing trajectory B) Preserving or complimenting the feel of the Miura blade. Nippon 1150 tours, Nippon Super Peening Blue KBS Tours Dynamic Gold X700 or X100 Black Golds Tour Concepts Project X I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

Blader-X Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hey Mjr D, My thoughts go to the KBS. Currently playing those in the new TourStage 901 X-blades and they are by far the best iron shafts I've hit to date. Not only are they the most balanced shafts to date, but so pure, so strong and the least dispersion. I don't get to play as much anymore as I used to, but when I do, those clubs are money. Its kind of scary to think if I did play again like I used to just how good things might be. In terms of low trajectory, that can be accomplished by how stiff a setting your club builder makes not to mention, how you go about hitting them. In terms of a club builder, I can't recommend the services of "Goodsie" enough. He built my current set up and the combination of his skills, TourStage's forging and the KBS shafts and its like the heaven's signing every time I pull a club. I really now know what's its like to have a club that won't let you down. If I hit a bad shot, its ME hitting the bad shot and nothing that was the club's fault. That wasn't always the case as I've found out from this set up. Good luck with what ever you choose, but KBS is something special in this man's opinion.

Richmond Golfer Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Try the KB Tour 90, this is a great lightweight shaft that really penetrates. Its what I put in a set of Miura T Blades for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idrive Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) The KBS Tours are the only shaft I'm using... Send the Heads to Goodsie, tell him what you want/need. And forget about it... Edited March 22, 2009 by idrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchangmanx Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 just my findings: I'm a blade player also, and I've tried KBS. I loved the dispersion. Hands down no other shaft goes straighter, they are pretty much lasers. As far as sound and feel(IMO) DG has that wonderful sound at impact that NS shafts and KBS don't produce w/blades. Plus I couldn't work the ball to the right. I did not like it. I went back to DG in all my blades and couldn't be happier. I play x100 s400 r300 in all different heads and they all are very workable. I play also Project X6.0 in 695s and they are very smooth but in the long irons, dead shots are harder to hit than DG. DG 6-4iron puts way more spin on the ball than all other shafts for me, which I want opposed to distance. I hit my 6 iron w/: KBS=carry 187 roll 195 PX=carry is 180 roll 189 NS1150=carry 185 roll 198 DG=carry 184 roll 185 So you see, that DG is much easier to control for my swing type. I'm always willing to try new things to better my golf. New shaft technology makes it so much easier for us to score better... Many "better players" swear by KBS, but I think I grew up playing DG and its why I prefer the feel and sound. What I did do: before I bought my Epon AFtours I tested on vector all the shafts I played before... I also consulted Tario and Chris.... I was told that if I did not like KBS feel I should not go w/KBS. So test drive your shafts before you buy um... its worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I decided on TT X7's. I need low flight with low spin. The X-7's are apparently the best shafts at producing both of these things. They're a little bit heavier than X100's but supposedly smoother. I'll let you know what I think when i get em.

xchangmanx Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Let us know how the shafts work out for you. I'm a low ball player also; I like um low of the bat w/the penetrating flight. So far DG for me, is the only one that I can start low and work high enough to stop the long irons. I don't think I transition fast enough for the Project x or kbs to work um high cuz they just bore and roll. gook luck w/um!! let us know...
