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.

KBS Generation Junior Iron Shaft (0.355" Taper Tip)
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The KBS Generation is KBS's iron shaft for younger players with lower swing speeds. KBS based it on the same EI curve as the KBS MAX to help juniors launch the ball higher while adding spin and accuracy. This listing is the 0.355" taper-tip chrome version, 80 to 89 g, sold one shaft per iron in R2, R or S (R starts at the 4-iron).
Before you order: each shaft is made for one iron, so order one per club. See How Tapered (0.355") Tip Shaft Lengths Work.
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Are fitting a junior golfer who needs help getting the ball in the air
- Want a light steel shaft, 80 to 89 g, for a young player's irons
- Want three flexes to match the player as they grow: R2, R and S
- Have irons with a 0.355" taper-tip hosel
Not the right fit if you...
- Want graphite or a 0.370" parallel tip: see the KBS Generation Jr. Graphite 0.370" (40 g and 50 g)
- Are an adult with a faster swing: look at the KBS Tour Lite or the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz
- Need an R-flex 3-iron: KBS makes the R from the 4-iron down
- Are not sure which tip the irons take: take the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz first
How It Plays
Built for juniors. KBS designed the Generation for the younger generation of players, who swing slower than adults and need help with height.
MAX bend curve. KBS based it on the same EI curve as the KBS MAX, so a young player gets a higher launch with added spin and accuracy.
Three flexes, one weight range. R2 and S run 80 to 89 g from the 3-iron to the pitching wedge; R runs 80 to 88 g from the 4-iron. All have a 0.560" butt, smaller than an adult shaft's.

| Generation | S | 80–89 | 37.5" to 34" | 3i to 9i, PW |
Material: steel, chrome finish | Tip: 0.355" taper | Butt diameter: 0.560" | KBS describes a higher launch with added spin and gives no torque, spin or bend point figures | Source: KBS official Generation specs, checked October 2026
Will It Fit Your Irons?
This shaft is for irons with a 0.355" taper-tip hosel. Order one shaft for each iron and pick the flex and iron in the dropdown. KBS makes these shafts at junior raw lengths, 37.5" for the 3-iron down to 34" for the wedge, so they suit junior clubs rather than adult-length irons.
Not sure which tip the irons take, or how long each shaft should be? Read How Tapered (0.355") Tip Shaft Lengths Work, take the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz, or let us install them with our Retrofit Service.
