Anyone winners get their shafts yet? I've got the itch to tinker so hopefully these show up soon!

Not yet. Already acquired multiple sets of heads to potentially use them in, so the wait is getting expensive...

[tocino]

*whew* so its not just me. I'm still deciding which heads to put these in. Missed out on a few deals but I'm still not sure if I should find a set of my current gamers (714 AP2's), newer versions, or something totally different

I've been doing the same - searching eBay for the last month looking for another set to put these in. Might just try them in my gamers...

KBS might have forgotten about us, which is understandable haha

Got mine yesterday! #Stoked Thanks again KBS!

 

[mBiden2]

Anyone get theirs in play yet? Also, anyone going to be able to compare them to the c-taper lite? I was fit into the c-taper lites and was wondering the difference between these two.

I received mine today! Lol I need a set of iron heads now

[pcs11]

I got mine shafted up in my 7,8,9 irons yesterday (I'll do the 4,5,6 the next time it rains here). I hit a bucket of range balls and played 18 holes with them.

Probably too earlier to give much of a review, but here are few observations so far:

Looks are awesome. The shaft has very subtle steps and at first glance it looks stepless.

Feel is very good. Pretty comparable smoothness to the Modus 105 I was playing.

I will update more once I get these in the rest of the set. I'm more curious to see how they play in the long irons.

Congrats all, cant wait for some reviews on these!

[jgallant415]

Should have them installed tonight and will hopefully have a chance to hit them on the track man to compare numbers vs. current setup. If nothing else, will have some on course feedback over the weekend.

[jgallant415]

Finally got out to play 18 with the new shafts today (I had Elevate Tours in my Apex CF19 previously). First impressions are pretty favorable, though still adjusting.

 

Ball definitely launches lower compared to the Elevates, though it’s not a low flight in an absolute sense.

 

Need to see the spin numbers on Trackman, but I was surprised that it didn’t seem much lower. For the most part, I got the same performance with a one hop and stop on the greens, though to be fair the greens were on the softer side today.

 

They feel a good bit stiffer than the Elevates, and overall saw a slightly tighter dispersion on my iron shots both warming up on the range and on the course. Normal miss is a hook, but today was more likely to see the ball start right and then not turn all the way back over - too early to know if that’s anything to do with the shaft, or just coincidence.
