KBS Custom Series

DEFINE YOUR GAME WITH A FRESH LOOK.

Combining the advanced performance of KBS TOUR shafts with state-of-the-art premium finishes and decal technology, the KBS CUSTOM SERIES is a defining innovation for the modern golfer.

Introducing patent pending application and coating technologies, the all-new KBS CUSTOM SERIES is proven to provide long lasting durability and adhesion developed in partnership with Color Designs International (CDI).

Each shaft goes through unique application and multi-coat processes that ensure a tight bond with carbon steel and an exacting color match through each set of shafts. A final polyurethane gloss coating is then applied to protect the finish to levels similar of popular graphite shafts while offering a defining look.

The all-new KBS CUSTOM SERIES is initially available in three stunning finish options (White Pearl, Black Pearl and Silver Pearl), allowing golfers to fully define their game.

Shot at 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Dustin has been really working hard the last two days testing new shafts. Had a new set of wedges done up with KBS white shafts.

KBS Tour FST Shaft Review – Specs, Flex Weight

Everyone wants to be able to game the same shafts they see the pros use.

That’s why a lot of players tend to gravitate towards KBS shafts. KBS is one of the leading shaft manufacturers in the world because their shafts are tour-proven.

They are known for affording the player maximum control and accuracy.

But let’s face it. Not all of us swing our irons like the pros. You have to really be aware of the type of player you are if you want to lower your score.

To that end, KBS does make shafts for us mortals. Case in point: the KBS Tour FST shaft.

Today we will be taking a look at the KBS Tour FST and letting you know who should be gaming it.

KBS Tour FST Shaft Overview

The whole point of the KBS Tour FST shaft is to help slower swingers transfer maximum energy from their swing to the ball.

The KBS Tour FST shaft comes in both relatively light and heavyweight versions so any kind of player should be able to find the right fit.

We really liked the looks of the KBS Tour FST shaft. It distinguishes itself with a black nickel finish which to us, looks more like gunmetal.

It still bears the classic “KBS” lettering in red and black in a block in the middle of the shaft.

So right away, you can tell that this is a KBS shaft; but you can also tell that there is something different about it.

The KBS Tour FST is also a low torque shaft. Despite weight savings in the steps, the KBS Tour FST resists twisting and warping very well.

So you still get that smooth, stable KBS feel from a more accessible steel iron shaft. When we tested the KBS Tour FST, we noticed very little activity.

However, the reaction that was present revealed itself in the mid/low section of the shaft.

If you are not a fan of whippy shafts and need more stability as you load up on the shaft, the  KBS Tour FST is certainly worth a look.

Why is the KBS Tour FST So Popular?

We can think of a few reasons why this shaft is a hit among amateur players but for us, the KBS Tour FST was a hit because it offers classic KBS feel.

While it can be said that the KBS Tour FST is a stout shaft, it never feels boardy. Even in the stiffest flex, you get a smooth transition that you feel you can work with.

How Does the KBS Tour FST Shaft Perform?

It’s odd, but we would say that the KBS Tour FST shaft feels active without actually being active.

What we mean is that when we tested it, we noticed that it felt light in the hands and while it doesn’t bend much, you feel like all of your swing energy is getting through to the ball.

This shaft just sort of begs to be swung.

The KBS Tour FST naturally produces a mid launch window and it’s very easy to get a beautiful baby draw out of it.

It was producing spin rates just under the 7,000 RPM threshold with our 7-iron so the spin is relatively low.

We’re not going to lie, you still need a moderate swing speed in order to get optimal distance from this shaft. We’re talking at least 85 MPH with your 7-iron.

But if you can manage that, the KBS Tour FST will reward you with improved accuracy, smooth feel and a considerable distance boost.

For instance, our testers were averaging a distance of 156.1 yards (7-iron) after three swings with the KBS Tour FST.

The KBS Tour FST also helped us thread the needle beautifully on narrow fairways and allowed us to work the ball masterfully around the pin.

KBS Tour FST Shaft Specs

What flexes are available what swing speeds do they suit.

For moderate swing speed players (85 – 90 MPH) the regular or stiff flex would likely work well.

For faster swingers (90+ MPH) we would recommend the extra stiff flex.

What Weights Are Available? What Swing Speeds Do They Suit?

If you have a moderate tempo, the 110g version may work.

The 120g and 130g versions should be reserved for fast swingers with aggressive tempos.

Why is it So Good?

The KBS Tour FST is a good shaft because it allows players of varying tempos to really load up without losing any accuracy or stability.

Above all, this is a shaft that will improve your iron precision.

KBS Tour FST First Impressions

We love KBS shafts but a lot of them look so much alike.

What we liked about the KBS Tour FST right away was that it had a different finish from the common polished chrome that adorns most KBS shafts.

Key Features & Performance

Mass and radius have been reduced in each step of this shaft to allow for more efficient transfer of swing energy to the ball.

KBS Tour FST Irons Review

The KBS Tour FST works really well with both GI and blade irons. You get the same, smooth transition and acute workability.

KBS Tour FST Wedges Review

We liked that the spin rates picked up a little bit with our wedges. It compensates a bit for the relatively low launch.

KBS Tour FST Pros & Cons

• It looks great
• Smooth transition
• Very stable
• Increases iron precision
• It’s affordable
• Not great for slow swingers

Overall Score: 96/100

Check out more reviews here:.

Who Should Buy it?

  We feel that the KBS Tour FST shaft would be ideal for mid handicappers on the verge of breaking into the single-digit handicap neighborhood.

It will give you better accuracy and workability from your irons and is a good stepping stone towards those heavier, more powerful iron shafts.

KBS Tour Iron Shaft Review

More in reviews:.

50 Words or Less

The smoothest shaft in the heavy weight iron shaft category.  Promotes a higher ball flight than its closest competitors.

Introduction

Most people would look at the stranglehold that Dynamic Gold and Project X have on the heavy weight iron shaft market and choose another battle to fight.  Kim Braly isn’t most people.  He jumped into the fight with the KBS Tour, and has converted thousands of golfers, including major champions, to his brand.  In this review, we examine why.

Where most heavy weight iron shafts are focused on stability, the trademark of the KBS Tour is its smooth feel.  There’s a distinct feeling of the shaft loading and kicking during the swing.  This is not to say that the shaft isn’t stable.  Most of the action is in the middle of the shaft, so you don’t sacrifice a stable tip to get this smooth feel.

Performance

Though it’s not a night and day difference, the KBS Tour does tend to promote a higher ball flight than its competitors Dynamic Gold and Project X.  This makes it an excellent choice for golfers who tend to be low ball hitters or those who simply prefer to see the ball in a higher trajectory window.

If you prefer a heavy weight iron shaft, but want a smoother feel, KBS Tour is for you.  It’s also a great choice for players who are seeking a slightly higher ball flight from their iron play.

What does the KBS Tour 120 shafts compare to vs S300 shaft? Driver swing speed of 95-98 mph 3/4 handicap

“Though it’s not a night and day difference, the KBS Tour does tend to promote a higher ball flight than its competitors Dynamic Gold and Project X.”

Can i use this shaft for my wedges? Or this shaft is for iron only (3-9,P)?

KBS makes a wedge version.

I just purchased Titleist AP2 Irons with KBS regular shafts, they are very balanced irons and mid-high ball flight. With this iron shaft there is no whipping and very smooth, I am 62 Years old but still can swing a club and I am very impressed with the combo, spending a little extra money for your irons is well worth it.

My elbows struggle with vibration of steel shafts. I am 65 years old and still play competitive Senior Amateur Golf events. I like your c tapered 110 feel. Will adding an after market dampening rod help the vibration issues of your shafts. Any suggestions appreciated.

I’ve used vibration dampening products, and they do change the feel, but I don’t know if they will help with your pain.

71 Young man, if you still have pain. Your left hand grip for righty is way to weak . Go stronger and don’t pull so much . Happy Birthday .

What is an alternative choice for the KBS Tour S shaft? Best Nippon or True Temper Product Models as an alternative choice??? Please respond to my email address submitted, already get your newsletter.

Stock advice: work with a fitter to find a good solution. Blind guess: I would take a look at the Nippon Modus for smooth feel.

I am currently playing Mizuno Pro 900 irons with the KBS tour x shaft. I am going to get a set of Mizuno mp-18 blade irons. If I go to the Nippon modus 120 x shaft am I going to have a similar feel but lighter. Mizuno does offer a KBS shaft in lighter shaft X flex. Thank you, J.Baker

I think you will find the Modus 120 to be a bit different than the KBS Tour. I would suggest working with a fitter to find something that fits your swing.

I am purchasing Titleist 716 AP1 irons and are considering the Dynamic Gold or KBS shaft. I play of 10 but are wayward with my irons. Which shaft is better for a straighter ball flight and more consistency? Thanks Ben

That depends on which one fits you better. I would suggest working with a fitter before you lay down your money.

I read your review on the Taylormade M2 TOUR irons and disagreed, then read the KBS review which is what I have on my M2 TOURS and I love them. Comment? Thanks, Jeff

Comment on what?

Hi, I cannot find the perfect balance and feel I had on my old Pings i15 with the first version of the kbs tour S. What was the weight of those shafts?

I’m not aware of any substantial changes to the KBS Tour since it was released. KBS would have more information on that.

Is the KBS TOUR stiff to heavy a shaft for a 13 handicapper swinging 90’s? I usually hit R300 really high but feedback and distance is hortible.

If you’re currently playing Dynamic Gold, the weight difference is negligible.

What is the difference between the kbs tour 130x and the tour v with tour spec 130x ?

We have a review of the Tour V here: https://pluggedingolf.com/kbs-tour-v-iron-shaft-review/

Hi – is the True Temper XP 115 S300 (fitted, 88swing speed, mid launch and 6200 spin with 6i) a comparable shaft to the Tour Stiff?

The KBS Tour is heavier but otherwise there are some similarities.

hi I currently play off 6 and play titleist ap1 with xp 95 shafts , I am considering changing to tailormade tp mb with kbs reg flex can give some advice ? I fear the kbs maybe to heavy ??? kind regards Graeme

Adding nearly 30 grams will be a significant change. Have you talked with a fitter about it? Tried some irons with similar weight shafts?

Pingback: Zurich Classic of New Orleans Recap - Plugged In Golf

Hi Matt, I currently play TaylorMade R9 irons with a Taylormade 90 by FST Stiff shaft. I’m upgrading to Tailor-made M4 irons with a Max 85 Shaft. Any thought on which would be more comparable to my existing shafts? The Stiff or a Regular Max 85? I think there both lighter than my existing shaft. Thanks.

I would suggest trying both with the help of a fitter to find the better fit.

May I know how much weights for the S shaft ?

The stiff weighs 120 grams.

What’s the weight? I have these in my a12 pros and I can’t seem to find any specs on them. Thanks

I purchased some Mizuno irons with KBS shafts. On the label they say KBS under that is Tour by FST, by the KBS it has a small R inside a circle. I am trying to find out if these are regular or stiff, nothing on the shafts say either regular or stiff.

That sounds like a regular flex, but without seeing a picture I can’t say for certain.

No, small r inside circle is the registered trademark, not regular.

What shafts are used for the king cobra f9, beside fujikura atoms 6 one length or KBS 0.37 Tip

HI Matt, I’ve been gaming the original KBS since 2009 w/ my Mizuno MP 58’s MMC. I’m eyeing a set of MP 18 SC in the KBS tour. Would you say the shaft profile and characteristics is the same as the original KBS that I’m playing now?

To my knowledge, KBS has not changed the original KBS Tour since it was released.

I am currently playing Mizuno Hot metal withveylix Alpina 673 shaft. I am 72 and these irons are terrible for me. Handicap on way up

Been fitted for X100s and KBS X shafts in new srixon zx7s. Numbers on the trackman are neck and neck. Averaging 98mph club head speed with 7-iron. A lot of comments I read say they prefer the X100s and that they flight lower than KBS x.

Thoughts on the two shafts? How much lower would the x100s flight and would it be worth taking into account?

Did you see a lower flight from the X100 in your fitting? My experience is that DG flies a bit lower than KBS Tour, but your results may vary.

Hi , I am 47 and my handicap is 13, I ordered for Miura MC-501 iron sets but little confused whether i am gonna fit KBS Tour R 110 g or Stiff 120 g !!! Could you please suggest which one will be perfect for me ? Thanks in advance

The only way to know which shaft is best is to get fit. Online, all anyone can do is guess, unfortunately.

There’s the occasional discussion on the internet from time to time about KBS Tour being ‘counterbalanced’ and ‘building to lower swingweights’ (I presume in comparison to DG). Is this true for this shaft?

That’s a good question. I’ve never noticed the KBS Tour to feel strongly counterbalanced, so I’ve never taken the time to measure. So, short answer: I’m not sure.

Just picked up a set of KBS Tour By FST shafts but they don’t have a weight or flex sticker on them. How can I tell what flex they are?

You could have a club builder check their CPM to get an idea of that.

Does it get old telling people to work with a fitter to find the best shaft for them? lol

No, I never get tired of giving people the advice that will actually help them play better golf.

Old thread I know. Is there any whippy feeling with these in the tour flt 110 regular flex? My ball speed with 7 iron with true temper Amt red hovers around 115. Not sure swing speed. I know go get fitted, but how similar to the amt red would these fall? Of course not the descending weight, but as for whippy- I don’t want that lol.

Feel is subjective, so unfortunately I can’t tell you whether or not these will feel “whippy” to you.

Matt: I love my new Mizuno JPX923 irons with KBS Tour Reg. Shafts. I have 4 Ben Hogan Wedges I really like but they have APEX 4 shafts which are too stiff for me now that I am 70 years old. In your opinion will the KBS Tour Reg. Shafts be good for my Hogan Wedges? Thanks

I can’t speak to your swing but I like having matching shafts from my irons through my wedges.

Are these like the c taper where most people play the stiff + if they are typically x flex?

The C Taper and KBS Tour are very, very different shafts.

I purchased p770s and didn’t do enough research and got kbs tour black shafts 120g.

My driver swing speed is about 97mph – are these shafts too heavy for me?

I hit the ball okay but notice my carry distances are much shorter than my old callaway rogue st max irons

I would never tell a player that a given weight is universally too heavy or too light for a given speed. What matters is A) fit and B) goals. If you want to get more distance, 120 gram shafts probably isn’t the way unless going lighter causes your ball striking to suffer.

I do not know if I am in the right forum. I was looking for flex weight and possible year of this shaft. Is it real or a knock off? The shaft is on a speedblade iron

In short from swing clubs in the back yard and hitting foam/wiffle balls the tempo the KBS give me is much better for me timing.

KBS Tour FLT Iron Shafts Review

Kbs tour flt iron shafts.

The KBS Tour is easily one of the most popular steel iron shafts in the game of golf.  Known for its smooth feel and versatility, players have sworn by this shaft for years.  KBS has made an updated version of this shaft to offer an option to fit a wider range of players’ needs – the KBS Tour FLT.  The main idea is that the longer irons fly higher and the shorter irons fly lower for more distance and control.

How Does it Feel?

My thoughts on the KBS Tour FLT feel require a little bit of awareness for how the original Tour model feels.  Where the Tour feels fairly neutral with a smooth release, the Tour FLT feels a little more dynamic with more snap to it .  The overall feel is still very smooth like the original, but you can feel the FLT come to life and kick a little more.  As always, feel is extremely subjective whether it’s based on your hands or your swing.  You may have a totally different sense for either shaft.  Try them both, but make sure you do so all the way through the set if you want an accurate A/B comparison.

On-Course Performance

KBS designed the Tour FLT to fly higher from 6 iron down and lower from 8 on up.  This flight is also supposed to come with more distance and spin.  I actually found the Tour FLT and standard Tour to be pretty close when it came to spin.  However, the Tour FLT definitely launched higher for me .  While KBS wants the Tour FLT to launch lower in the shorter irons, I found them to launch higher as well.  Keep in mind, this will be heavily dependent on a player’s specific swing.  I just so happened to hit them higher than the the standard Tour.

From a performance perspective, where I really thought the FLT flourished was the control and ease of play.  Between the feel and launch, I generally found the Tour FLT very easy to strike the ball well with.  It was easy to get the ball comfortably in the air and just easy to control the shot.   My dispersion was tight and I felt like I could change trajectories and shapes as needed.  In short, the FLT played more forgiving to me than the original Tour .

Final Thoughts – KBS Tour FLT

I believe that KBS succeeded in creating a more user-friendly version of their signature Tour shaft in the FLT model.  It’s just flat out easy to hit and feels good .  That said, I think if you looked at the spectrum of players that more prefer the FLT, the majority will fall on the amateur side.  I could see better players launching these a bit too high or maybe finding some extra spin that I didn’t necessarily experience.  That’s the beauty of the fitting industry today, though.  You’ll be able to figure that out.  I liked this shaft a lot.  It even saw quite some time in my bag, and I think others will benefit from it too.

Hi Bill, How do you think these compare to the C-taper lite? Thanks!

Nothing alike. C-Taper Lite has a more stout feel and less spin. It just flights a little higher than the regular C-Taper as a result of the lighter weight. That said, that also heavily depends on you actually swing the club.

Tour FLT is going to play a lot like the KBS Tour. They’re designed to be very similar except the FLT will flight the long irons a little higher and the short irons a little flatter.

Great, thanks!

What shaft is the equivelent of the the flt? flt is out of stock. In my club fitting stats the flt was by far the best results for the p770 that I was hitting

I wouldn’t say there is an equivalent. Unfortunately, due to the same supply chain issues impacting all industries, I know steel shafts, grips, etc have been difficult for vendors to restock.

Could a person tip the KBS 120 to make it resemble a FLT?

I suppose it’s possible, but I don’t think you’d get the same profiles necessarily and it would be tough to figure out for each club, in my opinion. At very best, you’d likely not match the FLT all the close and just be changing the profile of the basic Tour to something else.

How do these compare to $taper

Will vary player to player but I think $ Taper feels and a bit tighter. FLT feels softer (to me) and easier to get up in the air.
