Info on the new KBS Tour C-Taper....

This is a good step for KBS, I believe. The KBS Tour shafts tend to be a little whippy to me sometimes and I think a stiffer shaft would suit them well to have, and keep the same feel would be incredibly good. The KBS Tours have got to be the smoothest steel shaft I've ever played.

KBS TOUR C-TAPER HIGHLIGHTS:

- Constant taper design with unrestricted energy transfer (where in a golf shaft would there be restriction? Is there a microscopic traffic cop somewhere in their older models and everyone else's?)

- Optimized taper and tip section for low launch and low spin performance (why would people want less spin for their irons? The Tour people have the restricted grooves, the average golfer can't make a ball back up, regardless how much they spent on their shafts)

- Offered in S, S+, and XS flexes at launch with additional flexes in the near future (let's see how many people buy these, even if they should be playing "R" or "A" flex)

- Unique and highly durable satin finish texture (unique? is it diamond-plated or something? was their last offerings less durable?)

You think the Stiff+ is a reaction to what seems to be a not too uncommon fitting recommendation of X flex soft-stepped once?

Entirely possible. Mizuno just published something in the PFS newsletter that says 45% of golfers that have hit the shaft optimizer fall "in-between flexes" perhaps the beginning of a a change in the industry????

I definitely see lots of in-between flexes in my fittings, though mainly in the stiff-regular range, but stiff-extra stiff.
