KBS Tour Wedge VS KBS Wedge shaft? WTF?

[MitchCumstein]

I've scoured the internet trying to figure out what the hell these two shafts are.  I play KBS Tour in my irons and love them.  Looking to get a wedge shaft that similar coming from the old Dynamic Gold S200.  KBS website lists "KBS Wedge" as a wedge shaft option for KBS Tour iron players and describes it as stiffer tip.  I see many other places offering KBS Tour Wedge which as far as I can tell is a stock continuation of the KBS Tour shaft for wedges.  Am I missing something here?  Are these the same shafts but one says "KBS WEDGE" on the label and the other says "KBS TOUR"?   This shouldn't be this confusing and I'm already bracing for the many incorrect answers to come.    HELP!

The KBS Wedge is an extension of the KBS Tour iron shafts.  It's one step stiffer than the Tour PW (just like an 8i has a shorter, stiffer tip than a 7i for example)  The KBS Tour iron set PW is 37.5" and the KBS Wedge is 37" (raw length).

This is correct.  Two different shafts.

I called KBS Experience a few weeks ago for wedge shaft advice and the guy said the KBS 'Wedge' shaft was just the 9/PW from the set (I don't think it was the 8 iron model for a spinner but I could be misremembering). Same with the Tour V 'Wedge' shaft being the Tout-V 125 Tour spec 9/PW shaft. They just offer them in the Wedge portion of the site so people are aware of them as options. 

 

Give KBS Experience a call tomorrow and ask for a fitter. They answer quickly and are helpful.
