Has anyone had a chance to test these shafts side by side and have any rough feedback on feel, ball flight etc?

I have the KBS in my Callaway X-Forged but am switching to my new MMB-17 for this season, but with their costs I am leaning towards the FST 125 Stepless to give me a similar MPF (lowering the shaft stiffness from X Soft Step 1) to possibly S+ in the FST.

I was on the PGA Tour Superstore launch monitor the previous weekend with both 6 irons and had a strong pull hook with the Callaway, draw/hook with the MMB’s but the overall specs were 180-200yds (swing speed varied between 89-99mph). I resolved the hook issue with midsize grips but would like to now build my MMB’s with midsize grips and the FST shaft.

Hello, Chris. You’ll definitely need more info because I put an FST Pro 125 stepless shaft in a demo 6 iron and cut it for X flex, but it came out much softer, in fact between regular and stiff. If Britt or Jim can’t respond to your question, call in and ask for more info on their testing of these shafts. Hope this helps! Michael

Michael,

Thanks for the feedback, it seems like there is some discrepancies over how it plays, based on yours and Bob’s reply below.

This may be a candidate for possibly hard stepping as i know I should be playing a slightly softer flex than I currently have but with my hook tendency and swing speed variations I will probably need these to be closer to an X flex than a an S flex right?
