[RookieBlue7 1,692]

Good luck to all entering and to the testers selected,lots of pictures are what we like. I play heavier iron shafts so they're not for me.

My current handicap is 11

 

I've finally grooved my swing to where it is consistent on and off of the range making it useful for me to have high quality shafts on my clubs. . First I'd go to the range obviously and figure out how the new shafts affect my ball flight and distance. Then taking what I've learned and confidence from major winning shafts I'd go out to the course and shoot my lowest score ever!

 

The picture (don't know how to resize it) was from a 3 day workshop in Florida where Luke Donald did a short game demonstration for us and afterwards we got to go have drinks with him. Very good times and great guy

Hi Everyone. I haven't been posting often these past couple of months due to Little League coaching commitments, but I've been an active reader of the site just about daily (who am I kidding - multiple times/day!). An 8-10 handicap, I currently play Wilson FG Tour V2 irons, 5 - AW in KBS Tour Stiff. I recently moved into an X-stiff driver shaft (GD Tour AD) and my driving has improved substantially. I have always gravitated towards heavier iron shafts, simply because most lighter shafts are just too flexible regardless of the stated flex. So I believe the KBS C-Taper LITE in a X-flex (soft stepped, or hard stepped S-flex) would be a great fit for my game. These will transition nicely from the 85g hybrid shafts I use. Since they are a little lighter than the KBS Tour, they will help me get through the round without tiring too much. Based on what I read on the website, I would expect to see a similar trajectory but with perhaps a bit more carry and more control. This is especially what I am looking for – more control.

 

Over the summer and into early fall I have an excellent opportunity to test these shafts. I have access to a grass driving range only 3 miles from my house, and I intend to go to the range at least 3x a week. I also intend on playing a minimum of 4 rounds/month, plus mini-rounds with my twin boys. I will definitely put these shafts through a thorough test, and will post my thoughts/observations often and respond to questions/comments from readers multiple times daily.

I hope you all enjoy this picture. This is a 170 yard Par 3 with a good 40 foot drop from tee to green. I hit a 9 iron pin high right – right onto the wrong shelf. A cool 3 putt later I walked off with a bogey.

Congratulations to RoverRick, Txstcatman, and ms1195, you have been selected for reviewing the KBS C Taper Lite shafts!

 

To everyone else who applied, seriously it was a tough decision and some were only not chosen because there were only 3 sets to send out for reviews. I'm sure T is working on more of these opportunities, so keep coming back. In the meantime, join us on the forums!

Thanks for the opportunity. I'm looking forward to getting these installed and getting the review started! I am very curious to see how my first set of KBS stand up against the DG and project x I've always played.

Congrats! Can't wait to hear the reviews!

[Blade 313]

Congrats! If any of you have played PXi's, I would like to hear how they compare. I really like the Tours and have PXi's to try at the moment. Just curious if the CT lites have a similar feel and ball flight or not.

Congrats guys

Congrats peeps selected...

[Damon 9]

Congrats everyone. I'm interested to hear how these differ from the KBS Tour shafts.

[Txstcatman 88]

Thanks for this awesome opportunity MGS and KBS! I'm excited to try these out and look forward to providing feedback for the community to use in the future!

Congrats to those selected!

 

I have the PXi and came from C-Taper and will look forward to the reviews of the CT Lites to decide if its worth the switch back to CT.

[BK in TEXAS 190]

Hey Rick...let me know if they don't fit your game!!!

[RoverRick 1,545]

Thanks for the opportunity to test these. I am very excited about this. BK, I will keep you in mind but I think I am going to have a couple of sets of KBS Tours for sell.

Congrats, looking forward to the reviews, since I seem to have "outgrown" my "A flex" shafts this summer I've started researching shafts and plan to work with a friend that's setup for club building to be doing some testing of my own.
