KBS Tour V-X Lite Iron Shaft Taper Tip (.355)

Good fit if you...

• Have good speed but want a lighter iron shaft to swing faster or feel fresher late in the round
• Have tried lightweight steel before and found it too whippy or hard to control
• Want a flatter, more penetrating flight than most lightweight shafts give you
• Want tighter dispersion and better distance control in a sub-105g shaft
• Are coming down from a heavier shaft like the KBS Tour or C-Taper and don't want to lose stability
• Are moving from graphite to steel and want a lighter starting point that still feels solid

Not the right fit if you...

• Need help getting the ball up: the KBS Tour Lite or C-Taper Lite will launch higher
• Have a slower, smooth tempo and want a softer, more active lightweight feel
• Want more weight and a heavier, traditional steel feel: step up to the Tour V-X
• Want the classic tour feel and workability in a light package: look at the $-Taper Lite

What's the difference between the Tour V-X Lite and the Tour V-X?

Same V-X design, two weight platforms. The V-X Lite runs 90g to 102g for players who want a lighter shaft without losing control. The Tour V-X runs 105g to 130g with half flexes (R+ and S+) for players who want more mass and a heavier, traditional steel feel. If the V-X Lite feels too light in your hands, the Tour V-X is the natural next step.

Is the V-X Lite too stiff for a lightweight shaft?

It's stiffer than most lightweight shafts on purpose. That's the whole idea. If you have decent speed and a quicker transition, the extra stiffness is what keeps it from feeling loose. If you have a slower, smoother swing and want help getting the ball up, a Tour Lite or C-Taper Lite is usually a better fit.

V-X Lite vs $-Taper Lite: which one should I play?

They're close in weight but play differently. The $-Taper Lite is built for tour feel and shot shaping with a mid-high flight. The V-X Lite is built for stability and a flatter, more piercing flight. If you like to work the ball and want a bit more height, go $-Taper Lite. If you want the straightest, most controlled flight you can get in a light shaft, go V-X Lite.

What does the R/S flex mean?

R/S is a combination flex offered in the .370" parallel tip version. Parallel tip shafts are trimmed from the tip to fit each club, and how much is trimmed changes how firm the shaft plays. If you're not sure whether R/S is right for your build, send us your iron model and swing info and we'll help you sort it out.

Should I get the taper tip or parallel tip?

It depends on your iron heads. Most modern OEM irons use a .355" taper tip. Parallel tip (.370") is common in component and some forged heads. If you're not sure, check your current shafts or send us your iron model and we'll let you know.

Can I get a 3-iron in Regular or Stiff?

Not in the V-X Lite. The 3-iron is only offered in X-Stiff. Regular, Stiff, and R/S start at the 4-iron. If you need a 3-iron in a softer flex, the Tour V-X offers 3-iron in every flex.
