ms1195 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Played 18 last night with some reasonably heavy wind (15-20 mph?). Seemed most of the holes were into the wind head-on so it was a good test for the low spin qualities of the shaft, along with the high/low workability. I have a pretty good feel for the shafts now and with maybe a couple more rounds will be able to give a final assessment. I will say that while I thought they looked good when I first got them, the looks have only gotten better with time, very photogenic WITB Driver: Calloway Diablo Octane Tour, UST VTS Silver Hybrids: 16* Taylormade RBZ Tour 16*, 21* TEE XCG-3 Irons: Adams CB1 4-PW, KBS C Taper Lite S Wedges: Nike VR Pro Forged 52*, 58* Putter: Odyssey White Hot XG3 Grips: Lamkin Crossline Midsize Ball: Whatever I find, prefer Bridgestone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverRick Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Great review Rick! I really want to try these compared to my C-tapers I have a C Taper in my 3 iron and a C Taper Lite in the 4 and 2 irons. If you are getting good height on you C Tapers than stick with them. I love the kick of the 3 iron and it is fine for a 3 iron. I loved the original C Taper long irons, but I am not looking for towering shots with that club. My problem with the C Tapers was the Mid and Short irons were too low for me. So like I said, this may not be the shaft for everybody but it did it for me.

Paul S Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Great review Rick! Now I'm interested in the C-Taper Lites, and I originally wasn't because of the lighter weight. Maybe I'll get an updated shaft fitting, even though I really probably don't need one.

Super Tuna Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Loved the intro. I take it when you did the install, you didn't tip weight them at all to keep the swing weight consistent? You get crazy low spin with your irons be it the DG's or the C Tapers. You're PW is lower then my 6 iron currently I laught at your claims to fight a zombie apocalypse when most of you can't stand up to a Spider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even think of that but I will definitely need to consider doing it down the road. I thought my iron spin seemed low, not sure why that is. I probably need to go to a fitter to get a proper launch monitor session and maybe some lessons.

RoverRick Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Nice review MS. Since others have told you they liked your introduction and they brought it up, I will take the other side. I hated the introduction. I do not condone the use of drugs and your glorification of it sort of pissed me off just a bit. But to each his own.

GolfSpy WD Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Rick, Direct your annoyance at me. MS asked me if it was Ok and I enjoyed the play on words, so I emphatically approved. He had another writeup that was much tamer, but imo diversity in the reviews and letting people be themselves when writing them is a good thing. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not near as annoyed now as earlier when I first read it. However, since Tuna and you and maybe some others said they loved it, I thought I would tell that I did not. I hold no animosity towards anyone, however, if I were KBS I would like it even less. But they may think it hilarious as you did, I on the other hand did not. I am sure I have said stuff people did not think funny.

It is certainly not a taboo subject, and I would be surprised if more people agreed with me on this than you. I am sure that I am more of the problem on this subject than you. I hear "Fine Upstanding Members of the Community" talking and joking about it all the time. Just not one of the things that I find humorous. Upset? Probably the wrong word.

I'm probably gonna set aside the funds this next month and send the PCs out to BOS (I've been reading that ChopShop has been having communication/location issues recently) for refinishing.
