RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
We do not accept any international returns at this time.
At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:
Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
- International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.
- If duties and taxes are not paid upon delivery, the carrier may be unable to complete the shipment and may return the package to us.
Refused or Unpaid Shipments
- If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
- In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.
- Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred shipping fees.
Lost or Delayed Shipments
- Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The KBS C-Taper Lite brings C-Taper control to a lighter steel shaft: a firm tip and soft butt give a mid-high trajectory and controlled spin. This listing is the 0.370" parallel tip, one 42" satin shaft that is tip- and butt-trimmed for each iron, in Regular (108.5 g), Stiff (118.5 g) or X-Stiff (125 g).
Before you order: each shaft is one 42" length that gets tip- and butt-trimmed for the iron it goes in, and KBS notes that trimming can change how it plays. A 3-PW set is eight shafts. Order one per club, or let our Retrofit Service cut and install them.
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Like the control of the C-Taper but want a higher flight and a lighter shaft
- Want a mid-high trajectory with controlled spin
- Play Regular, Stiff or X-Stiff
- Have irons with a 0.370" parallel-tip hosel
Not the right fit if you...
- Want a low launch, low spin flight from heavier steel: see the KBS Tour C-Taper 0.370"
- Have irons with a 0.355" taper tip: see the C-Taper Lite 0.355"
- Want a shaft already made for each iron, with no tip trimming: the 0.355" version is sold that way
- Are not sure which tip your irons take: take the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz first
How It Plays
Firm tip, soft butt. KBS pairs a firm tip with a softer butt section, which it says produces a mid-high trajectory with controlled spin.
Constant taper. KBS builds the C-Taper Lite with a constant taper and a proportionate increase in wall thickness to make the most of energy transfer, and says independent testing found 5+ yards of added distance.
Weight rises with flex. The 0.370" parallel shafts weigh 108.5 g in Regular, 118.5 g in Stiff and 125 g in X-Stiff before trimming, all with a 0.600" butt and a satin finish.

Will It Fit Your Irons?
This shaft is for irons with a 0.370" parallel-tip hosel. It is a single 42" length that is tip-trimmed for each iron and then butt-trimmed to playing length, so order one shaft per club. See the KBS parallel tip trimming instructions.
Not sure which tip your irons take? Take the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz, or let us cut and install them with our Retrofit Service.
