KBS Tour Custom Stiffness and 4* Upright angle?

Stanks · May 3, 2018

What up fam? I got 2 doozy questions for you all today.

1. I bought a great set of Cobra MB / CB irons (be jealous) off the eBay a week or two ago. Custom paint job, grips to match, and then even the shaft matches. I have a KBS Tour Steel metallic black finish with blue no peel logo (not the sticker). NOw, I know they are Tour V but, I don't know what the stiffness is. Owner stated S+. I called KBS and they didn't even know how to answer the questions. ANy input?

2. I was at my lesson today. Obviously, new clubs in hand, my pro was digging them. He asked me about my lie angle and we got the old board / strips out. When I bought these off the eBay, they were stated at 2* upright already. With the test strips, it showed I am still hitting toe down ~2*. Is it common to have a club at 4* upright? Previous fittings suggest I play 1 - 2 upright and the Ping / old charts state I should have standard lie with my height / hand to floor measurements but, my swing speed indicated the shaft could be bowing a little bit at impact.

Any input would be appreciated. My pro has changed exponentially so, in my mind, his word is gold. But, there are a lot of smart people on here with different thoughts.

Thanks

I would say, get the irons measured for specs. I’m guessing they are standard lie and we mistakenly advertised as upright?!?

The shafts-I have no clue, but they are as sexy as the Black $-tapers.

Nice pickup!

Take some measurements of the steps on a 5 or 6-iron. I can compare them to some of my KBS shafts. I’m sure others would be willing to do the same.

See this link to ebay. I don't know if you can now that it's sold.

I am going to my local mart tomorrow to get measurements. I sent an inquiry to the seller.

Use the ballmarker test to check lie angles, a lie board most often misleads us and make you go upright more than needed.

Per the listing, they're a KBS Tour S+. I have some of those laying next to ruler in my BST post right now. It's hard to see the steps in the thread but if you click on the pic (or open the pic in a new window/tab), you can see them alright. Let me know if you need more specific measurements and I can do that for you as well.
