Honestly, the feel of these shafts is where they shine. They offer a smooth transition that I’ve struggled to find with other brands. Anyone else feel the same?

Absolutely! The feel is second to none. It’s like they were made just for me. I didn’t expect that level of responsiveness!

I found the trajectory with these shafts to be quite consistent. I hit my mid-irons way higher than I anticipated, which helps with stopping on the greens.

That’s a good point! My ball flight has definitely improved as well, leading to better control on approach shots.

I’m curious about how they perform in windy conditions. I’m planning a trip to a course that’s known for its breezy weather. Thoughts?

I’ve played in wind with them! They still hold their line pretty well, but I’d recommend practicing those shots for added confidence.

The consensus seems to be positive, but does anyone feel they’re overhyped? I mean, a shaft is just a shaft, right?

I get where you’re coming from, but I truly believe they can elevate a player’s game. Sometimes, it’s all about the mental boost too!

A buddy of mine joked that these shafts must have magic in them because of how they changed his game. I feel like there’s some truth to that!

13

Haha! I love that! If they’re magic, I want a whole set for every club in my bag!

I recently tried the KBS Tour V shafts and I must say, they’re quite impressive! The feel is fantastic and they really improved my accuracy. I’ve usually used Project X shafts, but the KBS perform better for my swing.

That’s great to hear! I’ve always been a fan of the Dynamic Gold shafts, but I’m curious about the comparison. Would you say the KBS give you more distance?

16

I’ve tested both the KBS Tour V and the Fujikura Ventus. In terms of cost, KBS are more budget-friendly, but the Ventus have a premium feel that’s hard to ignore. That’s why it’s tough to say which is better overall.

17

Interesting comparison! I’ve also been considering the Ventus for my driver. What do you think about the weight difference between them?

18

Honestly, I’ve found the KBS Tour V shafts heavier than my old shafts. But, would you believe it? That extra weight helps my dispersion. I think the feel really depends on your swing style!

I’ve got to side with Reilly here! The weight can feel a bit off at first, but after a few rounds, it becomes quite natural. KBS just seems to fit my game better compared to SteelFiber, which felt too light for my liking.

The KBS Tour V do look appealing, but the pricing seems a bit high. How do they actually perform when stacked up against something like the UST Mamiya shafts? Any input, anyone?
