Video Description
Golf shafts can certainly be an intimidating subject.
For this Friday onion drop I’ve visited the KBS Experience in Carlsbad and brought the resident club fitter David Anderson onboard to assist. Follow along as we reveal an easy to follow road map that will expand your knowledge on the key components when it comes to choosing the right shafts for your game.
There isn’t a player type out there that Dave and myself haven’t encountered and our wide scope means there’s something in this content for all. We deep dive into feel and how that can impact players of certain ages V’s time playing the game and when should you genuinely look to seek out a shaft fitting.
Be sure to dive in those comments and I’ll do all I can to reply.

Got fit by David a month ago and he’s awesome to work with!!
Big wave Dave the legend
Why did you have to call me out like this with the title.
People would be surprised at the amount of regular and stiff that are on tours worldwide. Also after 29 yrs as a professional, weight is king not necessary flex…
6”4 and an inch longer, Is me to a tee 😂 playing Project X 6.0 hard stepped. Now thinking I should be in something lighter from that quick conversation 😅😅😅😅😅. Need to get re-fitted
i like kbs and mmt for my irons. as always pleasure to watch and learn
And Tour Lite??? Stiff 100 gram.
Playing KBS PGI 80 S in my irons Great shafts!!!
Hey buddy been a long time since we play The challenge tour together I got a question in the tour van 3/4" off a driver tip is industry standard in the commercial side drive goes no trim straight in 🤔
Great to get some knowledge on shaft profiles. How long would it normally take an amateur with a proper fitter to figure out what type of shaft they'd be good with? I ask, because most amateur fittings we're given an hour, which flies by and you never feel like you've gotten a clear idea of what the good numbers are that you're being put into.
Thanks for this. It’s nice to know this stuff going into a fitting.
Science people like myself need to know physics of it. As usual, great video Chris!! 😉
Big wave!!
ayyyyy our guy 🫱🏻🫲🏼
I've noticed in golf stores even pga super stores you can't just go in to most golf stores and buy a shaft for your driver . Wight for me is about consistent timing
He could be Dean snells brother lol. Looks just like him.
I enjoy the Tour 120 in my irons but struggle in wedges. Might go back to DG for softer in butt around the greens
I had c taper lites in stiff in my irons, I got refit this year and got the money taper lite in regular and gained 24 yards
Was 95% talking 🤷🏼♂️
So is my C Taper 110 lite no good for a player only just breaking 100?
STUNNING educational vlog, gents. Absolutely love this 👍🏻
I’m in the process of getting new clubs and the whole fitting thing for me is scary as I’m
Not a great golfer. Seem to slice a bit and had Taylor Made Sim 2 max full set. I found the driver hard work and the irons heavy so need this time to make sure it’s set for me. Without seeing my game what kinda thing would you recommend?
I also have purchased the tour aim so I can actually practice properly. I have been on the range a lot but it’s hitting off mats and also been practicing the wrong thing! Do you have any suggestions on using the tour aim?
In the intro it touched on this type of shaft being better for those with lack of mobility, but I missed it during the video. Anyone know the timestamp?
Great video guys
What about spending more time on 75-80 mph swing speed 7 iron guys which is most of us. Lite weight steel shafts in the 85-100 gram range maybe. Seems like this is more focused on a Jr. golfer or faster swing speeds. What about spending more time on the average Joe?
Great video with awesome content. Learned a lot for my next fitting.
Thanks Trottie
Trotie thank you for asking the simple questions, for us laymen. I really didn't know the whole truth about the weight of the shafts and its one of those things you can google and not get a good answer from a reliable source
Wish we had this level of fitting in uk.
I'm 6 foot 4 with a ~95mph iron speed and currently using +0.5 inch stealths with Regular flex lol. I have my first fitting in one week, I hope it brings me some consistency. I'm very excited.
I wanna see a tour player fitting. Someone, anyone playing with Taylormade.
I dont like a heavy shaft. I like light shafts, i add lead tape to the heads on my irons so i can feel the head
This has probably been said a million times , but how cool would it be to get a fitting by these guys.
5.5 rifles – Irons
130X $-Taper – Wedges
70X Speeder Evo VII – 7w
60S Tip’d 1” Ventus Red – Mini Dr
50S Speeder NX – Driver
115 Club Speed
Stiff butt w/ heavy or small kick is the feel i care about. Play for feel and bomb it fellas!🤙🏽
How much does what type of tip vs butt stiffness in irons translate to driver shaft?
Plz fit me trottie
Is stuff in the handle softer in the tip bend point? If I wanted stiffer in the handle for higher launch how is that represented in the specs?
Trottie please help.
I have had poor fitting experience. Need real help. Got fit to KBS tour 120g S flex.
7 iron I’m right around 90mph club head speed ball speed120. Previously played project x rifle 6.0 and carried it
170.Now with these new shafts l'm only carry 155 160.Apexing at 135-140' launch at 24 degree. I'm assuming I'm just getting to high ball flight and loosing distance? Is it me and my swing or is shaft? Thank you!
If I wanted to get loft, lie, and shaft fitted for my irons (and keep the iron heads) what's a good ballpark on price for that ?
I love my C-tapers. Played stock stiff shafts for so long early in my days, got fitted into C-tapers went from about a 15 to a 9 handicap in one season. Great stuff here!
To all club builders and to all club retailers, if everybody talked in CPM life would be much easier . And much less mistakes in buying the wrong shafts.
I play a +1 shaft stiff flex. Should I consider different shafts for different clubs? Maybe my long irons, should I get something with less spin to get more run out from vs my short irons that I need to stop?
Dang! Maybe I don’t need my 130x’s 🥹
Hello. Like your video. I am 60 years old and play off 10 handicap. What shaft should I be looking at if I want a light shaft and the head to be a little heavier. I get 230 at most on my driver. Playing tm m6 d type driver. I need shafts for my irons.
What a waste…
Trottie, would a heavier shaft help to slows my right hand that closes the face ? Currently in a 6.5 125g
Trottie said arm length is proportional to height. Not necessarily. Some people have gorilla arms (me) and some T-Rex arms. How would you find the correct shaft length for outliers?
What's it mean to beak 90?
I think the notes about when to get fit and get a fit checked was very interesting. I do not, and I bet many other amateurs do not, know when to reevaluate equipment choices.
Thanks for the video
I've good success using KBS Tour Lite 105S in my W D7Forged irons. My elbow injuries are now taking their toll and I'm trying to find out what the graphite equivalent is and how they get spec'ed with irons. Even a starting point on the most like for like graphite iron shaft to this KBS steel shaft would help.
What a absolute load of crap! How is none of this common knowledge? So I've been trying to adjust my swing for about 5 years just because I don't know this knowledge this information. Yet this information is never actually put out and nobody actually makes anything plain. I go to Fitters I go to Gulf coaches everything else you can think of yet none of this information is actually put out there why?
