I was looking to see if anyone has a recommendation or feedback about KBS shafts. I am trying to decide on which shaft to get in my new Taylor Made Rocketbladez tour irons that come stock with the KBS tour shafts. I played dynamic gold S300's for years and currently play Srixon 506's with DG SL shafts. I really like the reduced weight of 109 grams while still maintaining a good ball flight.

I've heard a lot of good things about the shafts notably how smooth and soft they feel. I was thinking of the KBS 90 (102 gram?) shaft but I have heard that it may increase my trajectory. Taylor Made is claiming these irons will launch at a higher angle anyway so is this going to be a problem with these shafts?

My swing tempo is very smooth. My 8 iron flies 155 and my driver speed is 108-110.

Any feedback or advice would be appreciated!!

here's a curve ball....why not graphite shafts to suit how you load the club.....a better choice, do it before the pro's commence using graphite in their irons... and then you will truly be able to tell your buddies your not a sheep undefined

If you already hit the ball high and are looking to bring the flight down, you may not want to go with the KBS shaft compared to the Dynamic Gold as they launch higher. As you said, the RocketBladez are already designed to get the ball up so you may not need anymore assistance from the shaft. If you can try them out.

The KBS Tour 90 is also a bit softer in stiff than the DG SL S300.  I was fit for Nippon 950 GH or KBS Tour 90 stiff and my driver speed is about 95.  I hit my 8 iron 140.  The KBS tour 90 may be too soft for you in other words.  It is also a high launch.

    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
