KBS Tour Vs Project X LZ Shaft Comparison Overview
See how the Project X LZ compares to the famed KBS Tour shaft in the following comparison.
KBS Tour Shaft Overview
“The KBS Tour shaft comes in regular, regular+, stiff, stiff+ and extra stiff flex. There are 110g, 115g, 120g, 125g and 130g options.”
The KBS Tour shaft is one of the smoothest-feeling heavy-weight shafts I’ve ever tested.
Even on bad mis-hits, the shaft absorbed nearly all the shock. The transition is stable even when you swing outside yourself.
The launch is low but can be worked to mid territory. You can feel the transition and release in the shaft but all the action is confined to the center – allowing for great club head stability.
Project X LZ Shaft Overview
“This shaft comes in regular, regular+, stiff and extra stiff flex with 110g, 115g, 120 and 125g options.”
You don’t have to work so hard to activate this shaft compared to the KBS Tour.
While there is a definite sense of acceleration through the ball, it remains as stable as the KBS Tour.
“The main difference is that there’s just a bit more life and kick in the Project X LZ shaft. But both are incredibly stable and accurate.”
KBS Tour First Impressions
“The KBS Tour shaft gave me the confidence to fire at will.”
Even on my most aggressive swings, I got the feeling that this was essentially a point-and-shoot shaft.
Project X LZ First Impressions
We were first impressed by the fact that this is a lively shaft that still manages to be accurate.
The activity of this shaft can be felt on almost every kind of swing; but the dispersion remains consistently tight – a very impressive combination.
Key Features & Performance
Project X says they used something called “loading zone technology” for this shaft.
We’re not sure exactly what that technology actually is but we do know that the Project X LZ delivers on promises of smooth feel. You get the classic Project X feel in a shaft that is much more active.
Project X LZ Irons Review
Like the Project X IO shafts, the Project X LZ will help you attack the pin more aggressively.
Our testers were able to stick the green consistently on long par 4’s with these shafts.
Project X LZ Wedges Review
The ability to shape your shot at will really comes through in the wedges.
The Project X LZ maintains a smooth feel from tight lies and offers plenty of spin to hold fast greens.
