Anybody gone from 6.0 to 6.5 who can tell something about it? Lower ballflight? Distance? Spin? Very different? If you know your swingspeed please include it? And maybe what kind of sticks you use with 6.5?

I haven't but I would guess it would slightly lower ball flight and spin.

What is your swing speed? How high do you hit it?

I believe that i just half a flex stronger. So yea, slightly lower ball flight (SLIGHTLY), probably slightly heavier, and slightly less spin.

Distance, depends on your swing and contact. Going from 6.0 to 6.5 you wont probably see much difference. If 6.0 is really at the end range of your ability to load the shaft you might see a drop off, or you might see an increase.

Only thing was they did not have the PX 6.5 when I was trying different shafts.

What I also wonder if the KBS Tour XS will be like 6.5 or more like 7.0, that said, I did not really feel for the KBS Tour shaft. It feelt a little to smooth, I use it in my wedges in XS tough :)

Im sort of an strike I think. Really fast trasition from the top and down on ball. Hit my irons with the same swingstyle as in these movies! http://thesandtrap.com/t/73109/my-swing-dirtyzecret#post_961999 Looooooooooooog overswing, with brutal acceleration. This is why im also to. That PX will be better for me than other brands.

Try out the KBS C-Taper. A little more stout than the KBS tour

I have tried this, but feelt to smooth in impact. It was a very good shaft and certainly a whole different feel. Much smoother, and they went pretty low. Only is, I kind a like the "harc" impact from PX..
