bx4026 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 After hitting, if you have the money, have on extended. If you don’t like it then have one reshafted. Rob Person 1 Quote Will Manno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyyal Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 They’re KBS $ taper light shafts. I haven’t hit them yet (raining here in Eastern Carolina). Also, I have no experience with KBS, hitting DG Pro S300.

Sonny Beach Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 If you want them put back to the original OEM specs or to your own fitted specs a good club repair man will get them perfect. Adding extensions effects the overall weight, balance and swing weight. Buying the necessary equipment and supplies to do it right is way more expensive than having it done, trust me. I would send them to a reputable golf club builder or repair shop. The one I use is West Georgia Golf Co. a small family owned business. Billy Bridges has been making clubs for years. Call them, tell him what you want to do and he will give you a reasonable price I'm sure. He has all of the shafts, extensions, grips and loft and lie machine. More importantly it will be done perfectly he will communicate directly with you. Club repair is like going to a doctor, it's personal. Big box store club repair employees aren't very experienced, they don't GAS about you, your game or your clubs because they have no skin in the game.

TJ Hall Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Did you hit the clubs before buying? If the shafts work the extenders would work (still some costs potentially for new grips). If you don’t like the shafts, then reshafitng is pro the way to go, unless you can return the clubs.

William P Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 As others have commented I would suggest waiting until you get a couple of rounds or some good range time in and determine whether you like the shafts or not. Make the decision to extend or reshaft from that point.

Marty2shanks Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Also remember if you add back in the extension it will make the club play more upright. So if your lie angle is correct with these clubs adding the extension will make the lie angle 2 degrees upright. So take into account you may have to get a lie angle adjustment if you lengthen the clubs.

Cagolfer Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Agree with everyone saying that you should just try them. You could also just get one extended and SW set to your specs if you wanted to try them. I have the same shafts in mine, and I like the feel a lot. Quote “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.” -Arnold Palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyyal Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Thanks again to all. I tried them and liked them. Put the extension in to get them back to standard length and like them even more. Now….time to work on the swing ;^) cnosil 1 Quote Play golf they said….it’ll be fun they said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
