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

    • Thats the second hardest hole so bogey is ok. How do you do on the number 1 hardest hole?
    • Ah, target golf off the tee and all the way to the hole always grinds my gears, This is not a terribly long hole so here's my two cents: Job #1 is to put yourself in play. Job #2 is to keep yourself in play. If hitting a driver is such a crap shoot then you are already betting on lower than 50-50 odds. Hit a hybrid and take your chances with a long iron, punch or whatever. Stick to your plan and accept your result knowing you did. 
    • Ah, got it.  Yeah I'd just play it for bogey. Even as a low handicap I wouldn't be all that upset with a bogey on that hole. 
    • Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite 
    • How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.
