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.

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.

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

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.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • There's no such thing as the spirit of the rule. And, you do realize how insanely small the time window and the level of water is for water to come up with one person standing there but not another person, right? It's basically never going to actually happen like that. There are lots of rules like this: a 7' tall person's knee height drop is from higher up than a 4' tall junior's drop. Their driver is also longer, so they get a larger relief area. What are you gonna do? Beyond that, my reply to you is the same as @DaveP043's: write a better one. This one is easy to understand and enforce. The penalty for playing from a wrong place is two strokes, so no, it's not significant. In that sense, the potential advantage must be > 2 strokes. No, it's not "irrespective of it." That's why the penalty exists. If it's significant, it's a DQ, which is the ultimate penalty. See above. They don't need to judge that. No, he didn't. He could have taken one stroke to drop in the same place. This was already stated. Instead, he paid two. Of course they do.
    • Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
    • bought a used epic driver 3 years ago treated me well i am 72 bought with senior shaft a friend of bought a brand new  ping 440 claims he hits straighter and added 10 to 15 yards on his drive i know drivers are the most frequent club bought is a new driver that much better
    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".
