Current irons are “players distance” (hollow body injected with TPE) with KBS Tour Lite stiff flex shafts at +1”. My 7 iron carry is approximately 160 yards & ball flight is good.

Looking to purchase TS3s (DBM) and would like to use graphite shafts (+1/2” to be same as current set length) in order to help alleviate some elbow pain. Considering Rapport Core Blue shafts.

Would you suggest regular or stiff in the Rapport Core Blue? Open to any other suggestions as well.

Thank you.

If you are playing the stiff in the Tour Lite KBS, I think the S flex in the Rapport might be the way to go. If your tempo is slower and you don’t go at it very hard, the R flex could work as well. It is difficult to compare the profiles because of the different raw lengths, but the Rapport stiff is probably slightly less firm than the KBS, which may work in your favor along with being 15 grams lighter. The R flex could work as well, but it would be 25+ grams lighter and that might be a little harder to adjust too. You could, but you would notice more of a difference. The Rapport S at 87 grams will be lighter and of course the graphite will help with the joint pain. Might be worth it to test them both before committing to the entire set.

Hope this helps.
