KBS releases Tour FLT iron shafts
Shaft manufacturer KBS is known for its big selection of iron shafts, which just got bigger. The company has announced a new model called the KBS Tour FLT, which the company says will fit the broadest range of players of any of its seven other available iron shaft models — everyone from average amateurs to PGA Tour players.
Like other flighted iron shafts, the Tour FLT is designed to help golfers hit their long irons higher for more distance and stopping power, and their short irons lower for better trajectory control. The 7 iron shaft marks the tipping point between the lower-launching and higher-launching shafts, but of course, the change is gradual.
The Tour FLT is available in five flexes, which correspond with four weights: R (110 grams), R+ (115 grams), S (120 grams), S+ (125 grams) and X (130 grams).
Each shaft is available 3-9, PW, SW in a stepped, chrome finish with a 0.355-inch diameter. The Tour FLT will be available Dec. 15 and sell for $31.95 per shaft.

Looking forward to ordering the new hybrids fitted with these new Tour KBS shafts. I recently bought a 3 iron thru pitching wedge and two additional sand wedges. Love the way the new irons allow me to move the ball right and left on demand. Played a lot a blades in my life but I haven’t felt this good over shot making since the Wilson X-31 irons and the Hogan Apex 1 irons from the 70’s. Definitely a player’s set of irons! FYI – Leichman, from Australia, just won on The European Tour this week with his Hogan irons in South Africa. Almost won The Open this summer! I’m predicting Hogan & Wilson to experience a renaissance in the industry the next few years!

Hi Zak,
From the kbs website, the tour 90 shaft is rather mid/hight launch and not on the same level with the mid launch tour-V.

Thanks

Are they really so expensive given the quality of the product? And they feel so good to hit…
