Back in the nineties I had a set of Mizuno TP 11's with Brunswick shafts (stepped)borrowed from a pro golfer friend of mine, I loved em!!

I triend to get a set of my own but failed, then along came Precision Rifles. the question I would like to ask of you fellow Sandtrappers is the Brunswick shaft which had the FCM on them the ancestor of FBS shafts?

Reading the characteristics of KBS they sure sound like the Brunswicks I so enjoyed 20 years ago?

Hard to say, but I can tell you that I have KBS Tour stiff in my irons and they are amazing. More of a medium ball flight, much higher than Project X and Dynamic Gold, and lighter than Dynamic Gold at 120g. They have great feel and are very consistent, I would definitely recommend you give them a try at a golf shop.

Thanks for that. I am making a set up this week with Tour stiffs cutting shafts to 5.75 FCM. As it happens KBS are the reincarnation of Brunswick as far as I can tell. Brunswick shafts was started by Dr Joe Blaley father of Kim Blaley = KBS Dr Joe invented the Frequency Coefficient Matched measurement. Well I hope I'm right in this !! But I think so if not someone will put me right I hope

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
