KBS Tour Regular 110g

yea the s300's were too stiff for me. My 5 iron SS is 80 mph, look at the chart a few posts above that kbs has on their site for my swingspeed. Its right at regular

also if my ss increases from the lighter weight, it will most likely be 2-3mph faster. If I really wanted to I could hardstep the regular shafts which would increase the flex by 1/3, probably wouldnt be nessacary tho

I'm sure what I say doesn't hold much against the site but I think the KBS Tour Regular is fit for 70-80, Stiff for 80-90, and X-Stiff for 90-100. With the KBS shafts I think erring on the stiffer end is the right choice. Anyways with all that said, good luck and hope you have found the right shafts.

thats probably about right. The site says 80mph for your 5 iron, you usually go down about 2 mph per club that you go up. So if 5 iron SS is 80 then 6 would be 78, 7 at 76, etc. I also tried the KBS 90 Regular shafts in some R9 irons at dicks sporting goods, those are softer than the Regular tours and they werent flippy at all.

    • Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
