I am wondering if KBS tour v shafts that i pulled from T 100s should perhaps be flo’d? i didn’t think it would be necessary, but i was on a you tube site (might have been MC golf) and one of the comments indicated that builder should have been flo’ing the shaft???? surprised me asking that question (there was no response)

BTW, i have a set of TE forged and lost the 4 and 5 irons , thinking of trying a 5 iron in TS1 (25*), TS2 (*24*) or TS3 (25*) vs the TE forged which lists as 27*. which might be complimentary fit for distance and launch, etc.

BTW, compliments on having a great site and feedback!

thanks, John

really subjective. some folks swear by it, others don’t. I do it with all my builds because it’s relative simple and I can’t blame the arrows. For customers, I ask them what they desire. Some folks prefer to have logo up or logo down. Having the logo skewed affects their psyche.
In regards to the 5 Iron replacement… I would guess you’re looking at using this as a demo and to split the difference between the TE 4 & 5 which were lost. I would lean towards the TS2 or TS3. TS2 bit stronger than the TE-5I and weaker than the 4I, offset is close, weight is close to the TE-5I, bounce is the same.
TS3 would probably work too (bit more offset) and it appears to be a bit more forgiving.
I would probably hedge towards the TS3 as it’s a beautiful design and looks simplier, much like the TE.

First, thanks for the comments. The new site is a work in progress, but it’s slowly coming along. A little improvement every day.

As far as flo’ing, whatever your preference. As Rlafoone stated, some swear by it, and some don’t. I prefer Pureing because it is more precise, but that’s somethin you can’t do. Would have to send it to us to do. Any of those operations are designed to find the most consistent orientation of the shaft. Since shafts are not perfectly straight or perfectly round, performing some kind of orientation test can eliminate an inconsistency (no matter how small) that is inherent in all shafts. If you want to eliminate the chance that there is some inconsistency, then you should.

Trying one of the other irons to replace the TE 4 and 5 sounds like a plan. Just be sure it gives you the distance and gapping you need.
