THE NEW KBS DRIVER SHAFT 2020

[@rustyhill9588]

I have the 60 gm category 3 or stiff in a Taylormade Stealth 2 Plus 9 degrees. I had the shaft cut to 45.25" set at 9 degrees, 2 extra wraps of tape with the the 15 gm weights. Best driver I have hit in a while. Love the feel and flight. I Picked up about 12 yards of carry distance over the off the rack model and much more consistently down the middle. My miss is now left and it has been a while since my miss has been left but it is only a few times a round . I mentioned my carry was up by 12 yards but my overall distance gain is closer to 20-25 yards with roll.

Thanks for the review Jim, I have been using the KBS TGI shafts in my Irons for a couple of years now and love the smooth feel that I get from them. The next time I'm looking at changing my Driver set-up I would definitely give these a try 👍

Great to hear!

[@HyKlasBagger]

Hey Jim. I'd love to see a video on how you buff and polish clubs when you're done. They always turn out great and I'd like to see a closer look at it. Thanks!

[@McGolf]

Check it out this Monday

[@Bdriver50]

Well done as always. Great insights into a wonderful shaft

[@mattrevilock5890]

Cool looking shaft. Great content.

Hi Jim,just wondered if you know of any charts that will give me the results of my readings from my launch monitor I can find results for professionals but not for amateurs.

[@11golfnut11]

60g for sure. Do they still give a torque rating? Thanks JIm

[@if829]

60g for me nice review

[@davidcarnicom5635]

I would use the 60g. 50g is way to light for me. How is the weight profile distrubuted through the shaft? For swing weighting purposes.

[@McGolf]

it is standard there isnt a "special sauce" int he shaft other than the way he designed the way the flex is distributed the length of the shaft. For Swing weighting its pretty good

[@krusher74]

I bought a TD 60/3 used for my titlist head, solid so far (and used was 1/3 of the new price)

[@matt7iron]

McGolf Hey BuB my swing speed is only 82, those shafts might be outta my League, maybe a No 2 might work for me, Tiger and other Pros Say the Greatest Shaft ever made was the Mitsubishi Diamante Whiteboard.

[@McGolf]

you might like the Category 2, the Diamante was a god shaft. Im guess the blue board was for player more like us

[@charlesbartholomew2910]

Did the balance of the two shafts feel any different? What was the swing weight with each shaft? Or should I ask what was the frequency of the two shafts?

[@McGolf]

the balance was very similar where it was on the shaft i"m not certain. The 50 although was noticeably lighter it feel good during the swing, If you a smoother swinger, the 50 might be the play.

Matte black only in x and above.

[@malcolmbosanko2007]

Tried one've these a few months ago and I found it to be pretty unresponsive. It felt very flat and dispersion was poor.

[@McGolf]

dispersion is typically relegated to length of the club. However it is not unheard of a shaft out of spec for the golfer.

[@malcolmbosanko2007]

@@McGolf yes, I understand that. Shaft just didn't feel responsive in the way I'd expect. There seems to be a few cropping up for sale on eBay considerably lower than their retail price.

[@andrejoubert9731]

Your spin rate is rather on the high side tho... Possibly due to the fade as well

[@McGolf]

Certainly a possibility

[@coryrichmond2079]

50 all day

[@consev]

50 gram would suit me

[@td1138]

At $325 it’s not a shaft I’m likely to buy.
