I have TS4s and the feel is incredible and they go straight, however, I have two small children and don’t get out enough to play so my low point control is poor. This leads to some thins where TS4 doesn’t elevate or high face contact where that thin topline loses distance. My index floats from 7.5-9.5. The TS3 are clearly more forgiving with a thicker topline and wider sole and I own them as well, however, either the offset or the KBS Tour 120 S FLT shafts (which I understand in some clubs have a looser tip) result in me being consistently left with TS3. Its very obvious when I bring TS4 and TS3 to range that this is an issue. As I see it there a few options here, switch TS3 to $-Taper or regular KBS Tour, bend them 2 degrees weak to reduce offset, or sell them and give the TE+ a shot which may be the best of both worlds. What say you Britt and others? Thanks! TS4s are staying just want another set for softer conditions and periods where my game is off.

The offset variance between the TS4 and TS3 is very slight, but it can look like more than it is just due to the head shape. Not sure why that is, but it can to some. TE+ is less and not progressive, so if offset is the main reason you think you are experiencing the inconsistency, then I would ty a TE+ before bending a TS3. Bending TS3 2 degrees weak will also increase the bounce 2 degrees, which may or may not be a negative.

Might just try another shaft in the TS3 without bending the loft. Again, the offset variance between the TS3 and TS4 is not that much and if you can find a shaft that works in the TS3, then you have the most forgiving option when you need it. TE+ are a little more forgiving than the TS4 and a little less than the TS3, although the variance between all three is not that great. TE+ is more of a similar profile to the TS4, more of the classic blade profile. So if you prefer that profile, then TE+ would make sense.

Multiple ways to go. I think you’re just going to have to try an option or two to see what works.
