JGalls Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Any more reviews on these? Thinking about doing a custom build on them. Specifically how they relate to S300's. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI. Feedback from my Players who have tried this Shaft.....poor dispersion results and ballooning in windy conditions.....most Shafts were X Flex. Felt great at impact in the hands and all that stuff, but favorable results questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) very good to know. i was thinking of these seriosuly for a ver y good set ive just got. i love the feel but i also found they went high and i hit the stiff. but just on a range. and only with the 7 iron epon af tour i did shaft a 4 iron prgr egg im using as a quasy utility with the modus 3 tour 120 x flex and havnt found anything ngative so far . in fact im likning the feel of it imensly , lower than the 1050 x in the other ive got. tighter as well. i ve been hitting the Ns super peening orange a bit lately and they are a bit high, but oh so tight no balloning on them and just the smallest bit workable. im prefering these to the SP blues in general, but in the wind ill use the blues. the tour x flex must be the go on these.

gbs Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I was trying them in my friend's Giken the other day , i thought i could not hit them as they are way too heavy for my. but to my surprise i love love absolutely love the feel of it. launches higher then i expected , great control and didn't feel heavy. I could not not hit my GS 95 after that LOL. i am thinking of changing my low irons with them for trial. BTW any one tell me the difference with the super Peening blues against the Modus 3?

gus Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, I was told by a reputable dealer that this shaft was stout, think 1150's but lower launching. If you are looking for a new hot shaft which is tight and lower launching consider the new KBS C-Tapers, I'm hearing very positive feedback. Cool factor is high too, satin and stepless. I have the early prototypes in my irons, they aren't as low launching as the finished product but damn do they feel AWESOME!

gbs Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 BB thanks for the info , i will start looking into those too. But seriously i was gaming the GS 95, i don't really think that the MOdus 3 are super stout. And by memory the KBS black nickel i tried cpl years ago was stouter that this one.

gus Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Huh that's interesting, good to know, I passed on them based on this feedback but might need to reconsider in my next iron set, thanks...BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 was also considering a set but the mr G's feedback from users is not so promising. may actually go back to the blues but first i want to re-try the Tour concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
