There are no restocking fees. However the cost of the return shipping label will be deducted from your refund ($7.5 for small/lite packages, $13 for standard size packages, $15 for non-standard size packages such as golf shafts), if you decide to use the label provided by us. If you purchase a label yourself from a local carrier office (ie. USPS, UPS, Fedex), then there will be no deductions from your refund. If the returned items are not in new and unused condition, we reserve the right to dispose of them or return them to you at your expense. You may purchase return shipping if you would like the items sent back.

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.
  • If a package is significantly delayed, we encourage customers to contact their local customs office or the carrier for more information.

By placing an international order (any order shipped outside the US), you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

REFUNDS

Refunds are normally processed back to the original account (ie. credit card or PayPal). If you prefer store credit, please include this note of the refund request.

HOW TO CREATE A RETURN (ITEMS RETURNED MUST BE IN NEW & UNUSED CONDITION)

1) Access your order history, and request a return here

2) Your return request will be responded to within 1 business day (not including Sat/Sun/holidays). If the request is approved, we will e-mail you a return label. 

3) Package up the original order and drop off the package at your local carrier.

4) After 1-2 weeks after receiving the return order, we will process and issue your refund (original paid price of items returned minus cost of return shipping) to the original payment account.

DID WE MAKE A MISTAKE?

If there was an issue with your order (the wrong was delivered, or the product arrived damage due to carrier neglect), we will ask you to send us some pictures. If the item is confirmed to be incorrect, we will provide a return label to send back the items. Once the items are back in our warehouse, we will resend your order with the correct items. We cannot ship out a replacement order until the original items are received back. For damanged items, we will open a claim with the carrier, and once the claim is approved, we will send the replacement item. 

CANCELATION REQUESTS

While we do our best to process cancelation requests, our shipping team works fast, and we cannot guarantee that your order will be canceled

If we are able to cancel the order for you, there will be a 5% restocking fee deducted from the refund.

RISK OF LOSS

All purchases of physical items from Grips4less are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

RETURNS, REFUNDS AND TITLE

Grips4less does not take title to returned items until the item arrives at our fulfillment center.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The KBS C-Taper Black Limited Edition is the C-Taper steel iron shaft in a limited black finish. KBS rates it low launch and low spin for a piercing trajectory and shot control. It has a 0.355" taper tip and is sold one shaft per iron in Stiff (120 g), Stiff+ (125 g) or X-Stiff (130 g).

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...

  • Want a low, piercing ball flight with low spin
  • Have a quick tempo: KBS says the C-Taper is made for dialing in quick-tempo players
  • Want a black shaft while the limited edition lasts
  • Have irons with a 0.355" taper-tip hosel

Not the right fit if you...


How It Plays

Low launch, low spin. KBS designed the C-Taper for players who need a low, piercing trajectory and shot control, with shaft diameters in the taper and tip areas set for low trajectory and spin control.

Crisp feel. KBS says the C-Taper maximizes energy transfer for a crisp feel, and reports independent testing showing about 5% more distance than the market leader.

Limited black finish. Same C-Taper weights and lengths in Stiff, Stiff+ and X-Stiff, in black. KBS black finishes are hand-sprayed, so small cosmetic differences between shafts are normal.

Will It Fit Your Irons?

This shaft is for irons with a 0.355" taper-tip hosel. Order one shaft for each iron you are reshafting and pick the flex and iron in the dropdown: KBS makes each taper shaft for a specific iron, from the 2-iron (41") down to the 9-iron (37.5"). Our #9 option is also the one to choose for a wedge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it weigh?

KBS lists Stiff at 120 g, Stiff+ at 125 g and X-Stiff at 130 g.

Is it the same as the standard C-Taper?

KBS lists the same weights, lengths and low launch, low spin flight for the Stiff to X-Stiff builds. The difference is the limited black finish, and the black edition has no Regular flex.

What launch and spin does it have?

KBS rates the C-Taper low launch and low spin.

C-Taper or C-Taper Lite?

The C-Taper is heavier and flies lower. The C-Taper Lite is 105 to 115 g, and KBS gives it a firm tip and soft butt for a mid-high flight with controlled spin.

Why is the KBS label not on my shaft, and why does the black finish vary slightly?

KBS ships its shaft labels separately so they can be put on during club assembly and lined up properly, and a plain white factory SKU label may be on the shaft until then. Black KBS finishes are hand-sprayed, so small cosmetic differences from shaft to shaft are normal.
