KBS Tour V Review: Worth the Hype?

I hear you about the pricing! The performance is excellent, but if you’re on a budget, it might be a tough sell compared to UST Mamiya.

Anyone else find the KBS Tour V shafts really forgiving? I’m usually not consistent with my iron shots, but since switching, I feel more confident on the course.

I can relate! I had a similar experience with the KBS, especially compared to my old Acushnet shafts. It’s refreshing to hit a better shot more consistently!

I’ll be honest, the KBS might just be too hyped! I didn’t notice much difference from my last set of shafts. For me, they feel similar to the True Temper Dynamic Golds, just a bit pricier.

Contentious take! But I get it; sometimes, hype doesn’t live up to reality. What have you tried that you felt performed better?

I recently installed the KBS Tour V shafts and found that the right fitting made a huge difference! Make sure to measure your current shafts and get the flex just right for your swing speed.

I agree! I used a launch monitor to get the best results during my fitting session. It made a world of difference in performance!

Don’t overlook the importance of grip size when fitting the KBS Tour V. I’d recommend trying a few out to find what feels best in your hands.

Totally! It’s like finding the right shoe size. If it doesn’t feel comfortable, it’ll affect your swing.

A professional fitting is definitely the way to go if you’re serious about improving your game. They can evaluate factors you might not think of!

Absolutely! I tried a DIY fitting first, and it was a disaster. Never again! Go pro if you can.

Installation is crucial—clean your hosels thoroughly before fitting the shafts. Any debris can throw off your alignment!

Great point! I learned that the hard way. I had to re-align my shafts halfway through the season.

For anyone hesitant about a fitting, just think about the money spent on clubs! Investing in a proper fitting makes total sense.

Exactly! Plus, it’s kind of fun! It’s like a mini golf adventure every time.

Can’t help but wonder—does anyone have a fitting horror story? I accidentally ordered the wrong flex…

Haha, I’ve been there! I got the stiff shaft when I needed regular. It was like swinging a tree trunk!
