Your thoughts on the ball flight pretty much reinforce mine, although the flight difference appears minimal (I've hit demo clubs in both on the practice ground). I will have a closer look at the numbers with my pro next week (forgot the reading glasses when I did the fitting ) to see what that discloses. I possibly preferred the feel of the KBS, although the Nippon possibly provided more feedback. Excel file of all sic codes osha. They'll be going into a combo set of H5/MP25/T7 if that changes anybody's thoughts. I'm leaning towards the Nippon at the moment, although not necessarily for any of the reasons discussed here, although it might be more accurate to say I'm leaning away from the KBS.

KBS C-Taper Lite Shaft. KBS made some significant waves in the steel shaft market when they first introduced the original C-Taper. The C-Taper was noted for its low spin and trajectory as well as its stout feel. Together, those characteristics made it an unbelievably accurate shaft, but it was a LOT of shaft! Welcome to the next generation of golf shafts. The KBS tour 105 fills the much needed gap between the Tour and Tour 90 models, a slightly lighter weight shaft, all while providing precision distance and control in a shaft that players have grown accustomed to with the KBS Golf Shafts.
