Guys, I Need advice. I am currently playing X20 tours with s300 shafts. I am looking to migrate to XR pro but now KBS shafts are on most callaway sets! What KBS shaft is comparable to my S300?! I was looking at the Tour Tapered-c or project X 5.5! but not sure! Your input is much appreciated, thanks!

The Dynamic Golf s300 shaft is most directly comparable to the KBS Tour Stiff, though the comparison is not exact. Here are a couple of the differences:

- The KBS shafts are all frequency sorted, while s300 shafts are sorted by weight. This means that all KBS shafts have exactly the same stiffness, but may have slight variance in weight.

- The KBS tour shafts are slightly flighted, meaning that the kickpoint on the shaft for each club is slightly different to try and "tune" the trajectory. The kickpoint in all s300 shafts is the same, but you purchase a "different" KBS shaft for each club (you order the shafts based on which clubs you will put them in) to provide a lower trajectory in the shorter irons and a longer trajectory in the long irons.

Overall I personally prefer the KBS Tour to the DG s300, but I would recommend going to a shop to test all the different shafts out for yourself. Try out the Project X shafts, the KBS shafts, and the True Temper (Dynamic Gold) shafts in the clubs you are looking to purchase. If you order your clubs through the store you can order them with whatever shaft you find working best already installed in the clubs as long as you're willing to wait a little bit for shipping.

The current shat on the clubs I want to buy is the KBS TOUR v-90 which I think it is very different from my DG S300.

For me personally in my last set of Irons I had the KBS Tour Stiff in them and had trouble getting the long irons airborn. Other than that little blip I liked the shafts. My new irons which are Ping I25s have the S300 in them. I love this shaft and have a nice trajectory. Sometimes shots do balloon on me but that may be a swing fault and not the club.

I recently got my hands on a Cobra Fly-Z driver with the stock stiff shaft that it came with. Any suggestions on a reg. shaft that will launch the ball higher and possibly give me more yards....currently a 14 handicapper who hits the driver 210 - 225(ish) yards.... thanks for any suggestions

I don't know actually I haven't hit kbs enough to say Im a dynamic gold player.

I will say this though a bit off topic but I wish they would come out with an iron version of these shafts id give it a go instantly.

Can you recheck which shaft it is? KBS site had no TOUR v-90 shaft. They do have:

KBS Tour 90 (taper or parallel tip)

KBS TOUR 90

-----------------------------------------------------

KBS Tour V (taper tip only)

KBS TOUR-V

The KBS Tour 90 would be quite different from the DG S300. The Tour V would fall between the two.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      Struggling With Volatility

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
