any 1 tried these 2 shaft before ? : KBS tour 90/NSPRO 850GH

i'm thinking of changing my shaft and am looking @ these 2 shafts wondering any brothers here have had tried these 2 shaft before ?

please post reviews

Tour 90 is a bit stiffer than 850 also most of the NSPro shaft usually give you a higher trajectory. Depending on what you want...

I love the KBS Tour 90. Been using it for about a year.

There is a smooth feeling when u hit the ball with this shaft. But that is together with my Mizzy MP58 clubheads. IMO, its exactly the opposite of a PX shaft. PX shaft , to me, is harsh and hard. Some like it, but not me.

Unlike the NS Pro, which i feel, balloons the balls up, the tour90 offers a more mid penetrating trajectory ball flight.

I 2nd the motion.

KBS Tour 90 is stiffer. They are preferred by Single Handicappers who have a fast swing speed

However, you can "Mixed" both shaft just like PING has been doing on their iron set

AWT....Ascending Weight Technology.

Meaning you used a Lighter weight shaft for your Long Irons
and Heavier shaft weight for your short irons.

for example, 4 iron to 7 iron....NS Pro 850, and 8iron to Pw ...KBS Tour 90

Lighter shaft will give you Distance and Heavier shaft will give you Control & Accuracy.

You will still need a good swing to get all the benefits of the shaft. If you ask me between the KBS 90 and the NSPRO, i think I will prefer the NSPRO cos it will come with the irons you buy of the shelf.

adding....

you may able to hit KBS Tour 90 well on the front nine

But come back 9. It may not work well when your arms & shoulder begns to get tired

THe KBS tour 90 is not really that demanding. Comparing the two shafts, I dont really see the difference.

I totally agreed with you bro...

NSPRO to me is a no brainer... stable even when you try to rip it..

Ask me, ask me, I own both.
KBS is better because I'm selling it!

KBS doesn't twist,"vibrate" or balloon like 850.
In short KBS is much stable.

You may ask so good why are you selling?
I have down graded to Tour AD "A Kua" Flex

I have a set of 850 on mp53.

Doesn't balloon or "twist"

If it does, it's e swing.

850 have me 5m more than 950.

My ball flight is penetrating on e 850

Tour AD iron graphite shafts? OMG!!!! Those are damn nice lor

Bro... not everyone like you so strong leh.... no brainer to you but to some others like me, still need some parts of the brain to get the ball going.

I'm in the midst of changing shaft too!

am considering the Project X 5.5 flighted.

NS pro Shafts feels too light to me.

I prefer a firmer feel that is stablised with a heavier shaft.


My previous shaft was a uniflex, 118g. The NS Pro 950H i am using now is only 98g.

IMO, the feel is somewhat similar, but the thing affecting the most is the weight, 20g can make a whole lot more difference to feel than the flex.


As mentioned it all depends on what you want. You gotta demo first to know =)

How do you determine that PX 5.5 flighted is the right shaft for you?

haha yet to determine,

but eyeing. Am gg to take my own advise of gg to try first =)

thinking of going from nspro to project x. am afraid the added weight will be quite telling. any feedback? tks
