  1. I am ordering a new set of clubs in the next couple weeks. I have been fitted but was looking for a bit of guidance on shaft selection. I narrowed my shaft search to the Project X 6.0 flighted and the KBS Tour Stiff+. I enjoyed hitting both but the KBS feel was amazing. I was hitting a 6 iron and felt my ball flight was just a bit higher than I would like (Texas windy player)...I am wondering about doing a mixed set of shafts as well with the Tour(7-W) and C-Taper (3-6). Has anyone done this? Would there be any issue doing this feel wise? To match the Stiff + I think a Stiff would work in the C-Taper, would that be accurate?

    Thanks for the help

    Chris - the KBS Tour  S+ are my new favourite shafts.  I tried the C-taper and they definitely hit lower with less spin but just feel too dead to me even at S flex.  What I am saying is that a combo set of those 2 shafts may feel a little strange as the feel of each are quite different.

    I actually ordered a 712 CB/MB set and got the lofts 1 deg stronger.  I had AP2s before and even with x100 could not keep spin and launch angle reasonable.  At my fitting the CB/KBS tour demo iron (standard loft) reduced the spin and launch significantly and gave me an extra 8 yards of distance.  Not that this is some magic combo, it just restored normalcy as imy AP2 combo was down a club over previous sets and in the wind...forget it.

  3. Thanks for the reply Yippy....When you were hitting the AP2 irons were you playing the entire set or were you playing a combo set? My home course is not long but is very tight and demands good placement on the very quick greens. This is why I thought the combo of AP2 and CB would work nicely. Right now Im playing a KZG combo which much like a CB/MB combo.

    Chris - sorry I just noticed I put AP2 combo in my reply.  Sorry for the confusion but i was just playing normal set of AP2s 5-PW.  Used 21 and 24 deg 910 hybrids to round out the distances.
