Thanks for the opportunity....  I have done club repair for approx. 25 years.... have retired, but have the ability to change shafts, grips, etc.   I would love to try the shafts...    Thanks john young - Blue Bell Pennsylvania 

 

Currently use 4 hybrids all Taylormade...     2 17degree   3 19 degree  4 22 degree  5 25 degree

 

Two different shaft ...   the 4 & 5 hybrids are Taylormade std. heads with  Aldila Re-Ax  65  regular flex

 

The other two are ...    the 2 & 3 hybrids are Taylormade TP heads with Aldila Voodoo  regular flex

 

Shafts are not custom fit ..

[William D]

Hello, I'm William from Maryland. I have experience with changing shafts and grips, as well as total club assembly.

My current hybrids are Taylormade SLDR 3H 19 degree with stock Fujikura 72 gram shaft S flex.

Callaway Steelhead 4H 22 degree with stock Ozik Program 65 gram S flex.

I have not been custom fit for either of my hybrids.

My strength with my hybrids is my consistency with ball striking.

My weakness is my distance control and accuracy.

I am far more accurate with my SLDR hybrid, but my distance varies between the two by as much as 30 yards.

I would love to be chosen to test these KBS TOUR HYBRID SHAFTS.

Hoping they would help me with better distance control.

Thanks.

Callaway XR OS #3 hybrid 19* Mitsubishi Fubuki AT 55/60 Graphite

Hybrid/shaft custom fit? No

Ball flight too low.

[Dave22]

Dave, Ontario

'16 M1 3 set to 20*, Matrix Altus Tour X

Not fitted for hybrid ( but for all else)

Strength- hit high and spinning 230 with baby fade consistent with smooth swing

Weakness - wind eats up the high spinning shot. If need to step on it for more distance, balloons and lose control

 Jim ;  from Idaho 

- Your current hybrid and shaft combo, with lofts:  Ping Hybrids 18 and 21 degrees with stiff Accra HF 370 tip stiff

- Hybrid/shaft custom fit? Yes , by Cool Clubs in Arizona 

- Strengths/weakness of your hybrid game : My strengths are I can hit draws with the  both  Hybrids when needed, the weakness is that I could use a little more height to land softer . 

 

I play KBS Tour in my irons and love the shafts .

I play three hybrids:  Taylormade M1  19* with a Matrix Ozik Altus shaft stiff  

Taylormade Rocketballs stage 2 23* with Matrix Qzik Altus Shaft stiff

Callaway Apex hybrid 26* stock shaft, may put the 5 iron back into play.

 

I like that I can hit the ball hi and straight into greens and get them to hold.  I tend to miss the 3 and 5 hybrids with a draw when I miss.  I can hit a controlled fade and straight at will the draw sometimes hooks.

- Adams Boxer A3 Grafalloy ProLaunch Red HY stiff
- No
- Strengths: Accuracy, Weakness: Distance at times

 

I have tried many different graphite shafts.  Usually use a stiff shaft.  Handicap about 15.  Love my 3 and 4 adams hybrid.  I can do club repair, adjust lie/pitch cut shafts, replace grips.  Have the equipment to pull shafts and replace if necessary.
