🚫 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.

  • In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The KBS Tour V-X is a low-launch, low-spin steel iron shaft built for one thing above all: stability. KBS engineered it with a strength-to-weight ratio up to about 20% higher than their other steel iron shafts, so it stays straighter through the swing and moves less at impact. The result is a truer ball flight, tighter dispersion, and better distance control for stronger players who still want that smooth KBS feel. Available from 105g to 130g with half-flex options (R+ and S+), in both .355" taper tip and .370" parallel tip.


Who It's For

Good fit if you...

  • Have a fast swing or an aggressive transition and want an iron shaft that holds its shape
  • Want a flatter, more penetrating flight with less spin
  • Miss left and right more than long and short, and want tighter dispersion
  • Like a firm, traditional steel feel but still want it smooth, not boardy
  • Fall between standard flexes and want to dial it in with R+ or S+
  • Tried the V-X Lite and liked it, but want more mass in your hands

Not the right fit if you...

  • Struggle to get your irons in the air: the KBS Tour or Tour Lite will serve you better
  • Want a lighter shaft for speed or less fatigue: look at the Tour V-X Lite
  • Want a softer, more all-around feel: the KBS Tour is the classic starting point
  • Have a smooth, easy tempo and don't need extra stiffness to control the clubhead

How It Plays

The V-X uses a firm butt, responsive mid, and stable tip. The firm butt keeps things steady for players who load the shaft hard from the top. The responsive midsection is where the KBS feel comes from, so it doesn't feel dead or harsh. The stable tip keeps the clubface from moving around at impact, which is where the lower spin and tighter dispersion come from.

What makes the V-X different from other low-spin steel is how much stiffness KBS packed in for the weight. Because the shaft bends less through the swing, the ball flight is more about your swing and less about the shaft kicking or wobbling. KBS describes the flight as "true," and that's the best way to think about it: what you swing is what you get.

The wide weight range (105g to 130g) and half flexes make it one of the most fittable players' shafts KBS has made. A 105g or 110g build gives you V-X stability in a lighter package, while the 125g and 130g options are there for players who want maximum control and a heavier feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Same V-X design (firm butt, responsive mid, stable tip), two weight platforms. The V-X Lite runs 90g to 102g and brings V-X stability to lightweight steel for players who want speed without giving up control. The Tour V-X runs 105g to 130g for players who want more mass and a more traditional steel feel. If you like the V-X Lite but want more weight in your hands, step up to the V-X.

Tour V-X vs C-Taper: which one should I play?

Both are low-launch, low-spin shafts for stronger players. The C-Taper is the classic KBS pick for the lowest, most piercing flight, and it's known for its stiff tip. The V-X gets its control from overall stability, with a more responsive midsection that keeps a bit more feel. It also starts lighter (105g vs 110g). If you love the C-Taper flight but want something that feels a little smoother, the V-X is worth a look.

Is the Tour V-X the same as the Tour-V?

No. The Tour-V is an older, lighter version of the KBS Tour with a mid launch and reduced spin. The Tour V-X is an all-new design built around a much higher strength-to-weight ratio, with a lower launch and a wider range of weights and flexes, including R+ and S+.

What do the R+ and S+ flexes mean?

They're half-flex steps between the standard flexes. R+ sits between Regular and Stiff, and S+ sits between Stiff and X-Stiff. They're great for players who find Stiff a little too firm or Regular a little too soft.

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 use the Tour V-X in my wedges?

Yes. KBS makes the V-X for 3-iron through PW and SW, so you can run it through your set for a consistent feel. If you want more spin and height from your scoring clubs, a dedicated wedge shaft like the KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 is also an option.
