Ping I15's

[DBOGEY]

Just curious if anyone has hit the I15's with KBS and DG S300? Was there a noticeable difference in feel and launch angle? I have AP2's with DG S3's and thinking about picking up a 2nd set.

 

Thanks,

The KBS stiff (or 5.5) is a little lighter and will play a little softer than the DG S300. You may also get a higher ball flight with the KBS. See page 183 of the following: http://www.hirekogolf.com/hireko/webpages/books/modern_guide_shaft_fitting/2009_SFA_Chapter_5.pdf

 

I personally like the KBS better, but that's just me.

The KBS Tour will play and feel quite q bit lighter than the DG S300. Also the dispersion is fantastic with the KBS Tour.

I hear the KBS is a great shaft. It's getting a lot of praise because Taylor Made put it in the R9 irons.

No, but I REALLY like the ZZ-65's in my set of Raptures and I5's.

Thanks everyone, I've been hearing great things about them as well. I'm going to go demo the KBS shaft but in an AP 2 head. will check back in after the range session.

I think KBS makes a better shaft. If there's a weight issue, I would suggest getting out the lead tape and perhaps going to a heavier grip.

 

Heavier grips will reduce the swingweight, but make the overall club weight heavier. Lead taping will increase overall weight and swingweight. So I would toy around with the lead tape first and just feel around to see what you like best if you go to a lighter KBS shaft (KBS stiff flex is only 7 grams lighter than S300).
