One of my golfing buddies has beaten cancer and he wants a new set of irons.

He like the shape of Callaway irons and thinks he wants the Paradyms.

He is dead set on KBS Tour shafts and he has hit them in a simulator only.

Anyone playing these and can share some thoughts.

I hate my KBS shafts

Dynamic gold just felt so good. Not these KBS

I did a fitting recently for the Srixon ZX5's and I tried the KBS and didn't like them at all.. found that the Modus were the ticket..

Now I've hit the Paradym irons , but only my daughter's hers have Aldila shafts in them.. Of course they're slightly too light for me but a solid strike is fantastic. They're very long irons.

I’ve gamed a number of KBS shafts and there’s noticeable differences between them. Gotta find the right one.

No clue on the irons, Bop.

Thanks anyway.

My buddy finished treatment for a very aggressive prostate cancer. He is a low hcp player, but doesn't like a blade look.

We will try to find a demo day.

I did a Callaway fitting and found the Paradym irons nice and effortless (and insanely hot. They go stupid far). I'm typically a Stiff, but I actually got fitted into TrueTemper Elevate 95 in Regular. It felt amazing. So light, and my ball flight was much higher. Spin rate too.

Thanks, my friend is getting fit today again, I think he is dead set on the Paradyms.

I actually hit one yesterday. I liked it. It had a graphite shaft which I also liked. It’s got me thinking now….maybe graphite is the way to go.

Absolutely. I’m doing an experiment with lighter graphite right now, and love em. Golf never felt so effortless.

I've been talking about that.

My Mizuno 923 Forged irons have the MMT 80 in them.

Smooth.

What sucks is my swing still matches up perfect for my PX 6.0. I need to find a graphite that helps keep it low and low spin.

I almost cut the weight in half with the graphites (115gr to 68 gr) and they fly lower with less spin. Technology is badass

Anytime... Honestly I'd love to hit a Paradym Iron with the new Axiom shafts.. That club head is absolutely dynamite and with and advanced iron shaft it could be and absolutely monster combo for your average hacker..

I play the PX 5.5 hard stepped 1/2 inch, really like the feel, flight, and spin of the shaft.

We went back to the golf shop early this morning because my buddy wanted to get a 5 wood.

And I started hitting the Paradym iron in the simulator, wow. So easy to hit.

I turned my Mizuno irons back in and order a set of Paradym irons with the MMT 85 shaft.
