Which shaft do you prefer?

Which shaft do you prefer?
KBS or Project X....why?

whichever is cheaper....

both works for me!

I was told the Project X is more "wooden",
but I have personally tested an old season rifle shaft.
It was sweet and has very nice kick!
The kick and feel was actually better than KBS despite it was stiff shaft.
I was confused, that is why I put up this poll.

BTW, do try the True Temper Tri Gold- it is amazing.

need to stop purchases for a while, building a nest of funds for greater future

SBH: KBS has this smooth feel, in fact it matches your smooth swing.

Depends on the PX, if it is the old satin one I'd take PX over KBS. If it is the new, polished version... I'd prefer the KBS.

Are you referring to the Tri black Gold? Which is satin.

Nope, the very first PX was satin. It was way before True Temper buy Precision Rifle...

I tried the first batch of rifle shaft, before they call it project X.
it was very nice.

Precision Rifle IS NOT PX! Project X has different profiles altogether than the Precison Rifle and they are geared towards stronger players...

Which is for stronger player?
Px or rifle?

Okay, maybe I didn't make it clear the first time around. I assume you knew this... Precision Rifle was a shaft made by this company called Royal Precision. So was Project X. While the Precision Rifle offered extensive flexes for players (flexes ranging from 4.5 - 7.0, I think), Project X was developed to cater for stronger players. Heavier weights and different kick point which results in lower ball flight (a very different profiles) than the Royal Precision.

The Precision Rifle shafts had shiny, polished finish to it while the Project X (back in those days) had a satin finish.

A few years ago, True Temper bought Royal Precision and when they took it over the PX comes with polished, shiny finish as opposed to satin. Ever since, the PX has a slightly (if not much) different profile to the original satin finish...

Well, I am not that old to be a historian...

I prefer the Project X... Was fitted with the previous gen PX (Satin) and loved it... itchy backside go change to KBS and felt something lacking... recently changed back to PX (Chrome) and loving every minute of it!!!

Was it because when you hit the KBS, ur club went flying somewhere???

personally, i love the PX on my irons but i use KBS for my wedges... i find that used on the same heads, the PX gives me a lower launch which i like a lot...

Exactly what i found out, the KBS has a higher launch than the PX. But KBS' wedge shaft was great! I'll get the new DG Spinner tomorrow and I will put an identical head to my current wedge (with Rifle Spinner) and compare the two head-to-head. Wish I had the FST HiRev too, so we can have a 3-way fight. Too bad BFG didn't have any more stock when I was there...

Actually not much... very minute difference i feel...
PX (Satin) 5.5 plays like a PX (Chrome) 6.0

I have the satin px in 5.0 flex as well as the kbs tour stiff. Both offer fantastic feel, the smooth yet stable whip that i like, but I lose distance with the kbs tour stiff - suspect that it is too stiff for my swing speed, but they are both as accurate as long as my swing is consistent.

soft step the KBS tour? i am still looking for 2nd hand steel KBS reg or PX5.0

Any comments about the PX flighted shafts???
