Hi, I have mp 68's and have TT DGS300 in them and would like to move over to a more stiff shaft. I know a lot of threads have been started about this but there are many conflicting answers. I know the x100 is lower trajectory vs the others and have more spin but thats the only definitive answer I've found. Anyone feel like chiming in on each shaft's characteristics for me?

Trajectory
Launch
Spin
Feel (very conflicting viewpoints)
Distance
Dispersion

Thanks.

Hi,
I oreded my MP68's with the KBS Tour shaft in them. I like the feel of them ALOT but the ball flight is a little higher then expected. I have some PS X100 shafts in my old irons, I think im going to get put in them to try out. But all very good shaft, KBS tour feels a little nicer then they X100, but the X100 has a lower ball flight.

When I went for a fitting I hit them with a PX 7.0 in them, felt great, but numbers were a little better with the X100's and the KBS tour. I was not swinging it that great on the day of the fitting though witch might have had somthing to do with it.

How were the KBS on spin? More or less than the x100? I was hoping for something that promoted a little more spin. Even though I have a relatively steep angle of attack the greens at the course I play are impossible to get a good check. Anywhere else and I can get the ball to one or two hop and check back about a yard.

KBS come out with more spin....
I have to say this again though, this shaft feels fantasic! Just went and hit some balls into the net and they feel great!

Can't really comment on the KBS but I'll throw my $0.02 about the PX and X100's. Currently I have 3 sets of irons all with 3 different shafts (intentionally).

J33B w/X100
J33B w/Rifle 6.5
J36 combo w/PX (flighted) 6.5

Readers Digest version is the Rifle 6.5's gave me the optimum flight, spin, and control. The X100's gave me a much lower ball flight but I gained a few yards. The PX 6.5's were the worst fit for me as I struggled with feel and ball striking consistency.

I have the kbs shafts on my 68's, love them. I have the xstiff and I've never hit my irons better. They took a few rounds to get used to,but at the fitting there was no question the dispersion was best. Medium launch and enough spin to stop the ball with a long iron from the fairway. Plenty of spin and easy to control with the scoring irons. I vote KBS, you have to be a bit deliberate but man are they accurate and true.

I had the 67's and recently old 33's and both with Rifle 7.0's . The trajectory is slighty higher than both shafts (stated above) and spin heaps more imo
